Stop Airport Utility from Automatically Launching

So, i just connected an Airport Extreme in my office and started getting slammed with calls from 50 confused users wondering why a utility was asking them to set up a network.
What port does does the utility scan so I can block it except to my computer or how can I prevent this from happening? Is there setting on the WAP that I can use to turn off whatever signal it sends out?  It brought production in my office to a stand-still, just for a minute, but still annoyed the bosses.  Or do I literally need to run around to all client machines and un-check all the boxes in their airport utility prefs?
Thanks,
Jeff

Open AirPort Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
From the AirPort Utility menu bar click AirPort Utility > Preferences
Deselect:   Monitor AirPort base stations for problems

    Thanks for the response gakker, but I've double-checked the camera / iPhoto / Image Capture scenario, and I'm 100% positive it's got nothing to do with that.
    Plugging in my iPhone has no effect on anything related to this.
    The other thing I should have mentioned is that when iTunes on my Mac is NOT running, then nothing happens on my iPhone screen when I plug it in to my Mac. I only get the "Sync in progress" message when iTunes IS running.
    It's interesting though that you say you also get this "Sync in progress" message, albeit only for a second or two though.
    Can I just double-check something with you however... When you say:
    +"at no time was my iTunes playback interrupted"+
    do you mean the iTunes on your Mac? Because the problem I have is that the iPod-playback on my iPhone is interrupted.
    So can you clarify that for me, please? If you have music playing on your iPhone, and you then plug your iPhone into your Mac when iTunes is running on your Mac, does the music playback on the iPhone get interrupted?

    how do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

    When you log out or shut down, there will be a checkbox that asks you if you want to reopen windows when you log in. Just uncheck this box. If that isn't it, you may have login items turned on. Go to System Preferences>Users and Groups and then under your name click the Login Itens tab. Make sure nothing is there.
    If you want to stop windows from restoring when you open applications (so for example when you open Safari it doesn't open the 50 tab page you just had open when you quit) go to SystemPreferences>General and then hit the checkbox that says Close windows when quitting an application.

  • How do I disable iphoto from automatically launching when I plug in my iPhone?

    Trying to figure out how to disable iphoto from automatically launching on my Macbook Pro every time I plug in my iphone via USB cable. Tried looking at preferences in iphoto and itunes, but can't seem to find anything. Thanks!

    It is your preference in iphoto.
    Set it not to open when a digital camera is connected.

  • How to STOP OS X from automatically changing between language input methods

    I want to know if there is a way in OS X Leopard to stop the system from automatically changing the language input method. I use English and Japanese on my computer, but this would apply to anyone using more than one input method.
    For example, when I click on a Japanese-language file, the system automatically changes input to Kotoeri (the Japanese-language input method). When I then click on an English-language file it usually, but not always, changes back to English input. But I almost never want to TYPE in Japanese. I just need to be able to read Japanese and to cut and paste from Japanese language files. It is very annoying when I start typing in an English-language file and find the input method has been changed to kotoeri without me realizing it—everything comes out in meaningless Japanese. When I want to type in Japanese, I want to manually change to the Japanese input system. That is, I want English to always be the default input method even if I am manipulating Japanese-language files.
    So, I’m wondering if there’s a way to set the computer so that it never AUTOMATICALLY switches between the input methods. I want to be able to switch only manually. In the old days of System 7, 8, and 9, there was a third-party control panel you could get that would do this (I think it was called Stay There!) and I don't remember this being a problem in Tiger or earlier versions of OS X. Is anyone aware of any way to do this in Leopard?
    Thank you!
    Colin

    Well, I do have it set that way, and I can look up there to see where I am, but in the work I do time is critical and I move back and forth between the two languages frequently. It is really a pain and a waste of time to have to look and make a change that should be unnecessary. The problem is not so much that I don't know where I am. It's that I don't want to ever have to think I MIGHT be in anything but English input unless I specifically want to be. In other words, I need to be able to forget about this problem even being a possibility.

  • Access Airport Utility from Status Bar?

    Hello - is there any clever way to enable access of "Airport Utility" from the WIFI Icon in my status bar (top right toolbar)?
    The WIFI icon has option "open network preferences" but nothing to open Airport Utility.
    If I hold the option and click the WIFI Icon, I get WIFI diagnostics, but no Airport Utility.
    i would really like to remove Airport Utitlity from my dock but access with 1 click.
    thankyou

    Hi there LaPastenague
    I have the Monitor Airport setting already as you kindly shown me. Plus the other 2 checkboxes checked. Thankyou.
    LaPastenague - you likely help heaps of people - but its me again, I am opening and closing Airport Utilty alot to check connectivity as I am still experiencing the slow web page loads. I did the Iv6 link-only as you last helped me. I am the person in bridge-mode on the Time Capcule.
    I have also noticed I am seeing "noresult " in my Finder/Path Finder window when I search on my HD or 2TB Time Capscule I use as an external drive.  Then the results appear. So something is not right.
    What i have been doing more regularly to help with my "slow page load problem", is turning off the ISP's wireless router and then wait 10min and back on. This brings town TC as its bridged.
    What I have noticed, when I open up Airport Utility first, it says Internet is "disconnected". But in my WIFI Icon it shows all good. Then after a while it shows Internet connected.
    when I open initially
    then after a while:
    What I have read, is perhaps I should remove the 4 DNS settings and back to one. The ISP gave me the 4 DSN settings and asked me to put them in, in attempt to improve slow page load speed.

  • How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?

    How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?
    It's really annoying for Quicktime player to auto-lauch!

    It may not be that simple David. They're using a "server" and some of the Apache software may want to launch QuickTime at boot.
    This isn't really a QuickTime question. It's a sever question best answered in those Discussion pages.

  • How do i stop my ipad from automatically deleting my hotmail inbox and putting it into pop trash?

    how do i stop my ipad from automatically deleting my hotmail inbox and putting it into pop trash? It has only started doing it since i synced with my MacBook Air

    If emails are being deleted, then it's not the Apple products, it's the POP account.  When one device reads an email, it's removed from the server, so the other devices can't get that same email.  That's a POP account.

    How to stop my 4S from automatically taking hundreds of photos.  I use an otterbox and I think the buttons get pushed when I put it into the belt clip.  Can I disable the side buttons for the camera?  I currently have 1.958 photos of my belt that I am deleting one at a time.  Help on how to tag and deleted belt photos would be helpful.

    As you already know, open camera roll - edit - then select the pictures then trash.

    IPhone photos don't automatically sync to Facebook. 
    However, you may have allowed your Facebook photos to sync into your phone's photo app.
    If you don't want the Facebook photos to appear in your photo albums, turn off the option to sync Facebook photos.

  • Stopping iTunes from automatically launching

    Some months back iTunes began launching itself whenever I booted my Mac, something it had never done previously. Initially I just disabled it by removing components from prefs or other locations in /Library or using AppDelete. Is there a way to stop the self-launching without removing components that only make it harder to use when it has to be reinstalled from scratch. I just want it to be a normal app I click on when "I" want it to open.
    Thanks,
    MartyP

    Thanks Limnos and C9w - appreciate your taking the time to reply. I'd totally forgotten I'd attached an old iPod and iPhone I no longer use to USB ports to keep on charge. They are out of sight behind a few monitors and out of mind. The answer turned out to be to select the iPod in iTunes and uncheck "open iTunes when iPod is connected." - in the Options list. Answer was at:
