Hi Pat, Not all Applications will respond to the same keyboard shortcut commands. For example; iTunes 11 iPhoto will NOT respond to Command-Option-Q to Quit, they only will respond to Command-Q. Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 30/08/2013, at 4:28 PM, Pat clamsh...@iinet.net.au

Hi, Ronni, When closing down last night, I looked for the checkmark, but the box was not ticked. I guess I will just have to live with it. So far, it is just a little bit annoying, but apparently not potentially calamitous. So, thank you very much, Ronni and Daniel. Cheers, Pat On

Hi, Ronni, I usually do Command Q to quit an application, or sometimes right-clicking the Dock icon and choosing 'Quit'. And I always cast an eye over the Dock icons to be sure there are no longer any little white dots underneath. In System Preferences, there are no Login items in Users
