Disable terminal auto start

When I start my mac the terminal icon pop in into the dock. How can I configure that application (Terminal) as not to start running at computer start up?

I would check your Login Items in your Accounts preferences to see if there's an entry to launch Terminal. If so just select it and click on the Delete [-] button.

I am need to disable an auto start program on my iTunes on my mini Mac

I am need to disable an auto start program on my iTunes on my mini Mac

Is there a way to have itunes delete the WMA file after creating mp3 copy?
No. But after the MP3s are created and you are satisfied that things went OK, just delete the WMAs manually and say "Good Riddance."
You can use an MP3 in multiple players, but you need to turn off any features that automatically change or move files, since one player will change something that messes up the other:
In iTunes, that means go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and uncheck "Keep..." and "Copy..."
In Windows Media Player, that means go to Tools > Options > Library, and uncheck everything that starts with a verb such as "Rename...," "Rearrange...," etc.

N97 disable off auto start on camera

Hi,
Does anyone know how to stop the camera from automatically starting the picture app when you move the slider. I've found it to be a great way to crash my N97 when running another app!! That or stop the N97 from taking any pics until it gets reset.
If the camera is out the image mode can be easily started by pressing the shoot image button anyway so it might as well be disabled.
Ideas on disabling the app's autostart?

Humm yea i suppose leaving the camera perpetually open would have to be the solution. I havn't got any hints of scratches on my lens yet although this is after just over a week of use. Previous phones i've had havn't had a lens anyway. Just suppose a bit of cleaning every now and then will be needed!

How to disable Skype auto-start on Windows 8 boot?

Hi
I have a freshly installed Skype ver 7.2 on a freshly installed Windows 8.1 PC.
I did not allowed Skype to start itself on Windows startup. The corresponding option in settings is not checked.
But it starts anyway.
How can I disable Skype on startup?

Hi, I had the same problem recently--trying to disable Skype's automatic start when I first log in to Windows 8.1--and this is what worked for me:
1) Bring up the "Task Manager" window by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc all at the same time. (Or press Ctrl + Alt + Del at the same time then choose the "Task Manager" menu link.)
2) Once the "Task Manager" window comes up, you'll see several tabs (Processes, Performance,...Details, Services) just one row below the top drop-down menu bar (File; Options; View).
3) One of those tabs (on my version of Windows 8.1 it's the fourth tab from the left) reads "Start Up"
4) Once you open the "Start Up" tab window, you'll see a list of installed programs that have either been "Enabled" or "Disabled" in terms of booting up when you first turn on your computer.
5) Scroll down until you see "Skype" then highlight it with your cursor. If the line shows that this program is "Enabled" during start up (under the column "status"), then a button on the lower right of the window should read "disable." Click on it and you will see the "status" of Skype change to "Disabled."
The change should take effect for your next reboot. While your there, you can also disable any other (non-essential) programs to help speed up your computer's boot up process. Be careful what you disable, though, as some programs might be necessary for your computer's day-to-day functions!
I hope that helps!

How can I disable the auto start up of iphoto on my computer when I plug in my iphone?

Whenever i plug in my iphone 4s, my computer automatically opens iphoto. How do I disable it?

yeah that's what I used to do before I updated to snow leopard. Now it does not have the same menu options which is why I am asking.
It is not in image capture either.
Read the other forums on this topic, I don't seem to have those choices anymore.( general> connecting a camera) does not appear in window.
I cannot figure out where this is.

Can I disable the auto start-up when I mount an external volume?

As iphoto seems to take an age to start up, I tend to suffer it only when I need to edit my library. However, every time I mount a volume (USB or memory stick) to transfer music files, iphoto starts up and I have to wait 5 mins for it to start, and 3 mins for it to close. Does anyone know a way to stop iphoto starting up automatically?

launch image capture (in your applications foldr) and in the preferences set the action when a camera is connected to "none"

How to disable iHeartRadio Auto-Start on an iPhone 4s/iOS7?

Hello - I have a really annoying problem. It apparently has consistently happened through various iOS upgrades (see also Podcasts and this article) . Not sure why it hasn't been resolved.
If the iHeartRadio app is open, but I am not listening to it and I take a voice call or use the Voice-to-Text recognition, iHeartRadio will automatically start playing afterwards. This typically happens when headphones or a speaker (dock) are plugged in. However, it has also happened with just the phone by itself.
It is really annoying and does not seem to serve a purpose. The only workaround I have discovered is 'killing' iHeartRadio so it literally cannot restart.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? It seems like a bug to me.

Thanks for your replies everyone. I have contacted iheartradio as well regarding this issue.
I have updated all apps and have done the back up/restore from iTunes to no avail. I am not familiar with voice command/control in iheartradio.
Per my earlier post, this has been an issue for Apple before, in previous iOS iterations (in particular, Podcasts).
I have searched high and low for an answer which is why I posted here. I will update if I hear from iheartradio. I would be willing to be bed they say it's an Apple issue...

Disable auto-start

How do I disable Iphoto auto-start? I am referring to it detecting a camera or images on a storage device. I do not use Iphoto or wish to.( OS 10.8, MacBook Air) in fact, can I just uninstall it without consequences to Aperture? Thanks!

From within iPhoto, go to the "iPhoto" menu and go to "Preferences." Under "Connecting camera opens:" select "No application." Now iPhoto should not launch when you plug in your camera.

Auto starting applications on boot

I'd love to have terminal auto start and position in the bottom left of the screen. What file should I edit to make this happen? And, what how can I specify where the applicaiton should appear?
I looked for a rc.conf file, but could not find. Perhaps there is an easy way of doing this in the GUI.
Which is the best approach?

Run Terminal and set the window size and position you want, then use "Save As..." from the "File" menu to create a settings file. Add this file to the "Login Items" in "Accounts" System Preference.

Auto Start Disable

This is ridiculous. I shouldn't have to be a programmer to not have Adobe videos auto start as soon as the page opens on CNN or whatever. At work I often want to have a moment. Or if there's a text story below, I want to read the story and not view the video at all.
WHY CAN'T I DISABLE AUTO START??

Happy,
Your iMac (and Mac OS X) has excellent support for "multiple users". I would suggest reading up on the concept. Just click on Help in the Finder and search for "multiple users". Lots of information.
This way, your son can have IM launch at start up, while you won't even have access to it.
It will also prevent him from mucking up "your" computer with his "necessary" add-ons. For example, LimeWire.

How do i disable auto-start in Adobe Quick Launch; elements 3.0

how do i disable auto-start in Adobe Quick Launch; elements 3.0

I guess i don't remember that in photoshop elements 3, so could you explain a little more about what your asking?
What operating system are you using?
Unless your talking about the welcome screen that gives a choice of what to start when ckicking on the pse 3 shortcut (welcome screen, organizer or editor)
Window>Welcome in the editor or organizer
Or auto launching the adobe photo downloader when you have a camera or camera card connected.

Applications in Auto Start Up Wan't to disable

I can't seem to find where I can disable applications automatically starting up when I re-boot.
At present I'm getting iDVD when I don't always want it.

Apps that start upon login are called Login Items. They are set in System Preferences Accounts pane +Login Items+ tab. Just remove the item from this listing by selecting the item and hitting the minus sign.
Not sure how iDVD would have gotten on there...

How to disable yum auto-update in OL6

Hello,
What is the correct procedure to disable yum auto-updates?
The "yum-updatesd" daemon that existed in OL 5 does no longer exist in OL 6.
I found out that the "PackageKit Update Applet" seems to be responsible for running the auto-update. It can be enabled or disabled in the new Preferences/Startup Applications control panel. There is also the "gpk-prefs" control panel to set the update interval to "never". However, both control panels work on a per-user/login basis and cannot be used to disable yum auto-update system-wide.
Finally I found /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf, which has a DefaultBackend parameter, but I don't know what I should put there.
Is there here a way, to disable the yum auto-update system-wide without uninstalling PackageKit?
I already checked the documentation at http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-PackageKit.html but it was not helpful.
Thanks!

The actuall problem I'm trying to fix is the following error:
<pre>
Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...
The other application is: PackageKit
Memory : 45 M RSS (357 MB VSZ)
Started: Tue Jul 10 09:27:04 2012 - 04:09 ago
State : Sleeping, pid: 2317
</pre>
The above error can happen if you have an active Gnome session and e.g. connect as root using ssh session and try to use yum.
I may have found a way now to disable the automatic system updates, however, I don't know if this is the proper solution since I cannot find any information about it.
I modified */etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf* and changed:
<pre>
DefaultBackend=yum -> DefaultBackend=nobackend
</pre>
It requires a re-login of your Gnome X session to take affect.
Then Administration/Software update does no longer scan for updates, and apparently no longer lock yum at the system level. At least the problem seems to be fixed globally that way.
I will mark this question as answered, but any ideas are still welcome.
Thanks!
Btw, here is a link to previous older thread to disable it on a per-user basis:

Virtual keyboard auto starts in Windows 8.1 Pro

Even if the toolbar is turned off and the toolbar is locked, and under ease of use the checkbox is unchecked, this pesky icon keeps coming back. Is there a registry fix... users are complaining. thx!
Jiggy Gaton, Trainer and Media Consultant for Nepal and S. Asia

Hi,
Please know that it’s powered by a windows service called Touch keyboard and handwriting
pane. Stopping this service will be in result of disabling the on-screen keyboard.
Let’s try to disable the service related to the touch keyboard:
1. Press Win+R, type “services.msc“, and press Enter to bring up Services window.
2. Scroll down a bit until locate the service called Touch keyboard …
3. Double click it, first to stop it if it’s running, and then change the Startup type to either Manual or Disable to prevent it from auto-starting next time when computer starts.
Hope these could be helpful.

How to stop the auto-start of log reader agent (replication) right after my database is restored?

I have the scenario where the SQL server is restored (after migration).
This database has transactional replication set-up on one of the databases. When I do a manual delete and restore of the database, I see that the replication starts right after the publisher and subscriber are restored.
Replication agents should not start and run before the integrity checks are completed. How to stop the replication from auto starting right after the migration?
Thanks in advance - Jebah

Thanks Pradyothana, I have disabled the logreader, distribution agents through sp_update_job in Tsql script. I have also verified that there are no pending transactions to be replicated to the subscriber, I see that the job is still being executed. Is there
any other way to disable the jobs?
Steps I followed
Started with a Working publication and subscription
Disabled the jobs (log reader and distribution agents)
Backed up publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
Deleted the publication, subscription, publisher and subscriber
Restored the publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
Enabled the jobs and executed sp_replrestart
Observations/Issues
Replication does not work
Replication monitor does not show any error
Jobs are shows as enabled but not started in job monitor
Not able to start/stop the log reader and synchronization manually.
I am not sure if I have missed something while restoring the db.
Thanks in advance
