DVD player opens automatically when starting computer

When I start up my macbook pro OS X version 10.6.8 the DVD player opens up automatically. This is something new and started recently after we had some difficulty playing/ejecting a DVD that ejected when we restarted the computer. Can someone please offer some help

Thankyou for your reply. I tried your first suggestion, but the DVD player didn't show up in Login Options. I didn't try to close the window and restart because everytime I start the computer and the DVD player opens, I automatically close the app because it's so annoying.
But your suggestions did prompt me to go to dock and right click on the DVD player app and I noticed that when I clicked on options, there was a tick beside "Open at Login". I wasn't even aware that you could right click on the app and that option and others were there. So I just unticked it and I'm sure the problem will be solved.
So thankyou

  • How to stop browser and mail applications opening automatically at start up

    Since upgrading to Lion, Firefox, Mail and Hogwasher (a newsreader application) all open automatically when the computer starts up. I don't want or need this to happen but cannot find any way of preventing it. I have checked my user login items, but none of these apps is among those listed. Any suggestions why this is happening and how I can change it?

  • Opening iCal When Starting Up

    Is there a way to have iCal open automatically when starting up or to have it change days if the machine stays on?
    Thanks.

    Sure. Simply launch your System Preferences application and select the Accounts pane. Press the Login Items tab and the + symbol beneath the window to add iCal as a login item. Check the Hide box if you don't want iCal to be visible each time you start up or log in.

    Hi r,
    It sounds like you're running Lion?
    Have you tried running Verify and/or Repair Disk?

  • Bluetooth no longer loads automatically when the computer starts

    I have the Bluetooth Stack version 2.01.21.1. It was working fine. When the laptop booted up, the bluetooth mouse was automatically connected.
    All of a sudden the icon no longer appears automatically in the system tray and so I have to manually connect the mouse each time
    It is still listed in the startup menu on the desktop and it is still checked in startup in the msconfig.
    How do I fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    I have just gotten off the phone with a microsoft tech who actually seems to have fixed this somewhat
    He went to start/run to get to services.msc.
    He chose "SSDP Discovery Services" which "enables discovery of
    UPnP devices on your home network" and DISABLED it.
    Go figure
    The BT icon now appears in my system tray and starts up automatically when the computer starts.
    I say somewhat because It still disconnects if left idle for a long period, which it did not do previously, but at least it is there when I log on.
    I want to mention that I have a Dell, not a Toshiba (did not realize this forum was for Toshiba laptops rather than Toshiba software) but perhaps
    you will find this information useful.
    Also, at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx you will find an autorun tool that lets you fix what is or is not
    in the startup menus. It seems to work better than using msconfig which on my laptop was not making a difference as to what started up and what did not.
    It is meant for IT professionals so I would not mess with it too much. However if you just check or uncheck in the startups for the BT manager you will
    not do any damage.

  • Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC?

    Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC? How do I adjust settings to stop this from happening?

    Hi,
    This folder is probably treated as a program to run at startup.
    So you will have to look at the places where such programs are referenced.
    For instance, you may have a shortcut to that folder in your Start Menu > Startup.
    Or it may be in the Registry.
    Click on Start >  Execute, the type msconfig and click OK.
    This will show you in the Startup tab all the programs launched at startup.

  • Iphoto open automatically when I turn computer on

    Iphoto open automatically when I put my computer on and I can't solve the problem. I have checked the login items on the system preferences and iphoto is not one of the checked items. I even played with it a few times to see wether it was simply stuck but the problem persisted. I checked previous solutions to that same question but they all say to uncheck the logged in items on the accounts. Thank you so much for your help.

    Do you have any external drives connected, that could be mistaken for a camera? Drives or thumbdrives with MS-DOS (FAT32) formatting? Then set the "General" preference in iPhoto "Connecting a camera" opens to "No Application".
    Do you quit iPhoto when you log off? If not, the log off option "Reopen windows when logging back in"  may be active and auto launching iPhoto.

  • IPhoto opens automatically when iPhone is connected

    iPhoto for Mac (Yosemite) opens automatically when iPhone (iOS 8) is connected. I have "no application" chosen in iPhoto preferences and Image Capture has no preference options in the menu. I can find nothing in System Preferences OS X 10 or in Setting iOS 8. Where do I turn off the automatic iPhoto start?

    This is most likely because it is  asking you to choose photos to sync to your computer. I don't know how to get rid of it though. Hope you find the answer!

  • Firefox opens automatically when I log in?

    We have an iMac with four different user accounts. Whenever I log in on my account, Firefox opens automatically, and it seems to take a long time. This suddenly started happening a few weeks ago, and I certainly never tried to make my computer do this. Firefox does not open automatically when any of the other users login. How do I make it stop happening, since I don't always want Firefox right away?

    Go to System Preferences>Accounts>the name of your account>Login items at the bottom of the list of accounts and look at your login items. Remove Firefox and it will stop opening when you log on.
