App always loads upon restart. Any way to stop it?

I have the BBC's iPlayer Desktop app installed, which I downloaded from their site a couple of weeks ago.
Ever since then, whenever I restart my computer, the iPlayer app is always running as soon as my desktop and dock appear. So I have to quit the app at every restart. No big deal, but it's bugging me...
Is it likely to be lurking in some sort of 'load at startup' folder somewhere that I've yet to discover? Is there some way of stopping it automatically launching, short of uninstalling the app?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Charlie.
I knew it would be something simple like that.
(I'm a bit of a tyro on Macs though... only had one since last month. That's my excuse, anyway.)

    No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device. That's not supported by Apple.

    you can't reverse the process, once you accepted there is no other way, if you sync it to your itunes library in your computer it will automatically update the updated app as well.
    What you can try though is delete the app from your iPad and try syncing it to your itunes library but if you set up iCloud it may update the app automatically

    Hi Sujatha vijay,
    It sounds as if your Apple TV is in Conference Room Display mode. You will need to turn this off. See this article -

  • Last time I synced with iTunes all apps (except the originals) and all the work I'd put in them got erased. Any way to stop that?

    Last time I synced with iTunes all apps (except the originals) and all the work I'd put in them got erased. Any way to stop that?

    Your apps didn't get erased.  They're still there in your iTunes Library, you just didn't tell iTunes to sync all Apps when you synced.  You have to either choose the specific apps you want to sync or say sync all apps.

    MacUpdate.com for OnyX or TinkerTool, one of those has the ability to lock the Dock so no changes occur, basically giving you what you want.

    I am recieving my brothers messages on my MacBook, we share an itunes account and an icloud account is there any way to stop his messages and add my own?

    Don't share the same ID for iMessage (you can still share the same ID for other things if you want).  On your iOS device, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Then on your Mac, open the Messages app and go to Messages>Preferences>General, select your iMessage account, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • When I try to print a drawing imported from my ipad iphoto crops it. Is there any way to stop this?

    When I try to print a drawing imported from my ipad iphoto crops it. Is there any way to stop this?

    Usual cause: printing at the wrong aspect ratio for the image - trying to print 5 x 3 in the shape of a 6 x 4 for instance.

  • Any way to stop auto shared volumes from opening in finder when booting?

    Leopard 10.5.8, but has been happening since at least 10.4.x...I have auto mounts setup in my user preferences, the auto mount fine, but the automatically open up too...makes it very annoying having to close all windows every time I boot the system...we have multiple Mac Pros running both Leopard and Snow Leopard...is there any way to stop the opening of the shares when I boot? maybe an applescript or something? thanks.

    there are some fancy solutions to this using autofs or /etc/fstab but a less involved method might be by using applescript. open Applescript editor (it's in /Applications/Utilities) and paste the following in it
    mount volume "afp://nas.ip.address/path-to-share"
    add a line like that for each share you are mounting.
    save the script as an application and add it to your login items. on the first try it will ask you to enter user name and password if your shares have any. enter those and check the box to save it in the keychain. it won't ask again. this will mount those shares without opening separate finder windows.

  • Is there any way to stop a process execution (all instances)

    Hello,
    I´d like to know if there is any way to stop a specific process for execution at the engine without need to undeploy it, since we don´t want to loose process instances when we need to start this process for execution latter on.
    We have a PRD environment with a lot of processes from different departments (developed by different teams and external suppliers) and a feature for stop a specific process and isolate the environment could be very good to do root cause analysis when issues occurs at the environment.
    Sometimes stop a specific process (or some of them) could help in issues investigation that causes the engine to malfunction (lot of audit enabled, some loop bad controlled, lot of concurrent access) but I could not see this option at the webconsole.
    In the version 5.7 one EAR was created separatedly for each process deployed and this could be done stopping the EAR created for that process. Anyone know how to do this at version 6?
    Thanks

    Well the bad news is you are right, there really isn't any way to do this in versions after 5.7
    Starting at 6.0 all projects are deployed under the 'engine ear'. So if you stop the engine, you stop all projects deployed.
    I'm a little concerned that you are first seeing these issues in a 'PRD' environment, is this something that you could set up in a DEV, or UAT, or SIT, or any other environment (That is built similarly) to recreate the issues? - Then undeploy any of the other projects... and isolate the problem...

  • Is there any ways to stop Quicktime player from occupying audio hardware?

    Hi, my PC system is Window XP Pro SP2, HP xw8400 Workstation w/ 2G Ram. And the PC has a Digidesign Pro Tools HD 1 audio system installed.
    My problem is that after Quicktime player lauches, it will occupy the Pro Tools HD's hardware. And if I want to start Pro Tools software, "digidesign hardware is in use by another application." warning will occur and Pro Tools software will then quit. BTW, Digidesign's audio driver is not multi-clients compatible.
    I have set Quicktime player's audio playback device to PC motherboard's audio device, and system's audio device is also motherboard's audio device, I even have checked the "use default device only" option. I can't understand why Quicktime player still occupies Digidesign's hardware, even it plays back audio through motherboard's audio device.
    Though I can quite Quicktime player before lauching Pro Tools software, I still feel it's annoying and inconvenient, and want to know some ways to solve this problem.
    Anyone can help? Thanks in advance. I have asked for help in Digidesign's offcial forum, no response.
    BTW, the Quicktime player version on my system is 7.6.5, and each time Quicktime player launches, the sample rate led on the Digidesign's audio interface will flash, indicating that QT player is accessing Digidesign's hardware.

    You are missing something simple but lets get it to stop as you want. Go to Settings/General/Bluetooth turn it off.

  • Is there any way to stop details showing up in reminders?

    Is there any way to stop details showing up in reminders? Before a recent ios update, you had to click on the reminder to show details. Now the details show up in reminders automatically which has made my task list unmanageable - I often create tasks from emails I get in my business Microsoft Outlook/Exchange account.
    Before the update, the reminder list worked really well. I got a nice neat list and could click into individual reminders for all the details if I needed them.
    Now I don't get a nice neat list - but all the content of my emails in my reminder list.
    There doesn't seem to be any way to change the settings so the reminder doesn't include all the details.
    Has anyone else found this a problem? Help!

    Here are another couple standalone utilities, that I haven't tested, myself:
