Terminal keeps opening

Hi, I'd appreciate some help or advice.
I have an Ibook G4 which is working fine, but recently the terminal window has started flashing on the screen for a second then disappearing. It doesn't show up in the dock, it just comes and goes. It doesn't interfere with anything but it is something that hasn't happened before and I don't want to let my ibook degenerate into a error ridden hunk of plastic.
Thanks for any help.

I've created another user account and the problem still occurs always when connecting to the internet, on my main account the problem occurs when connecting to the internet aswell as other, seemingly random times.
Any advice will be gratefully recieved.
P.S.
If I want to get my laptop serviced does that mean I will have to send it back to Apple somewhere?
Would doing this solve my problem?

Safari keep open page from cache, though the origin page has been available

This is weird. Safari keep opening a site with this error message:
501 Method Not Implemented
Method Not Implemented
GET to /indexfr.php not supported.
But when i'm opening the site with Firefox or Opera, the website displayed correctly. Even when i'm using curl/wget from Terminal, all html codes are displayed correctly. I know that about 1 month ago, all browser displayed the same (firefox, safari, opera, curl) 501 method not implemented. But after the remote site has been recovered, Firefox can correctly display the web page, while safari can't. It seemed that safari keep displaying the cached page.
I've tried empty the cache (from menu) many times, tried to push SHIFTCOMMANDR, tried to delete cache folder (~/Library/Cache/Safari), and also i've upgraded my safari to Safari 3 beta. All didn't work.
IMHO, when the remote site responded with 501 HTTP response, safari keep caching 'the http response', and i don't know how to delete it. This is very annoying since i have to switch to Firefox to browse that only site.
FYI: The remote site has more than one IP addresses, maybe i got this response from one of them. So, is it possible that safari keep caching the IP Address? and not to use round-robin behaviour? But i don't think so, because when i edited /etc/hosts to manually assign that site to one of the IP address, Safari still displayed 501 error message.
So, my main question is, how to completely start over Safari just like if we buy a new computer?
Sorry for my bad english
Powerbook G4 1.3 12' Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Ok, i've tried to put a question mark at the end of the url, but still got 501 Method not implemented.
I'm sure that my ISP doesn't cache web pages. Because when i tried with curl or wget (from command line), i got full html code. It is ok to browse the site with Firefox and Opera. And when i set my http proxy to our ISP's proxy, i can browse that site !!!
Here i provide some screenshots, please click:
Firefox OK, Safari Don't
Safari Don't ok. Proxy off. and my ISP doesn't do transparent caching.
Safari Don't ok. curl is fine!

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

ITunes keeps opening itself

I recently updated my software and I also recently started using a Shuffle with my iMac - I'm not sure which is causing the problem.
I have iTunes 6.0.2, and it keeps opening itself automatically. Not when I start up my computer, but if I have iTunes open and then quit the application, it will just open itself right back up approximately 1-2 minutes later. It doesn't do anything - doesn't access the Music Store or start playing music - it just opens itself. So annoying!
Does anyone know how to make it stop doing this? Is it possible I have it set to automatically open for some reason?
Thanks!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Coupla dumb questions:
Are you actually "quitting" iTunes by going to the iTunes Menu > Quit iTunes or by the keyboard (Command+Q)?
Or are you just clicking on the red button at the top of the program window, which actually does not quit the program. (The program is still open if you see a small rectangle symbol under the icon in the dock.)
Also check your System Preferences > CDs & DVDs and make sure you don't have iTunes set to open when you insert a blank disc, dvd or picture CD.

Since upgrading my iphone 4 to IOS6, apps keep opening and closing on their own

I'm not familiar with the Belkin cover, but you could try removing the cover and reboot the iPad and see how that goes.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

When I want to mail a web-page or link firefox keeps opening new windows and cannot be stopped.

My laptop is a Samsung R730 (quite happy with it). I use Eudora for e-mailing. If I want to mail a web-page or link and click under 'file'to send it, Firefox starts opening new tabs without stopping up to over a hundred. I have to brutally switch off my lap-top, start agaiu. Restart Firefox which wants to open all the old tabs, click it off quickly. After that I can reopen to normal.

You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.

I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note. I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds. I can't get rid of it. I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch. But, Notes will not stop. It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.

FF 29 What's New/Committed to privacy page keeps opening

The What's New/Committed to privacy page keeps opening. Windows 7 for the OS. Things I have tried:
Delete user.js and prefs.js. Didn't fix the issue.
Set browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone to ignore both via about:config and directly editing prefs.js (one at a time, and both at the same time). Didn't fix the issue. It just overwrote that when FF opened the next time.
Set prefs.js to read only after changing the mstone setting. Same thing, it still opened even though the file was read only and said ignore.
This is not a home page issue. I don't have multiple home pages, the what's new page is not in my home page, I'm not saving open tabs, etc.

HI prospero63,
Thank you for your question, there is a new update going out today, version 30. IF the privacy page is set for your homepage you can change this, however in the new version this campaign is no longer on the start up. You can click do not show again as well.

Before I updated to ios5 there was a "number" on the task bar next to bookmarks showing all the windows I like to keep open. Now I can't find the setting to go back to that feature. Help!! I just want to be able to click on the number to get to my windows

Before I updated to ios5 there was a number lit up on the task bar (next to bookmarks) which were all the windows I like to keep open. Now, after updating I can't find that feature in settings. I don't like all the different tabs along the top. Can anyone help me please?? I just want to click on the number and have all of my open windows there!

I don't think that is an option. iOS 5 new features is tabbed browsing, it replaced the old window interface.

Installed Java - Terminal now opens automatically every time I open my computer. I deleted Java 7 application, but now terminal still pops up. Why? How can I get it to stop?

I installed Java 7. Suddenly, Terminal bounced open every time I logged into my computer after that + the program I needed to run with Java didn't work, so I uninstalled Java 7. I have no Java, but Terminal bounces open - still. It never did before. I need the old version of Java to run my grading program, but I'm afraid to install Java 6 because I don't want anything new to "bounce" in. If I install Java 6 will it get rid of this Terminal application from bouncing in and will the Java 6 work?

I already looked into that - "open at login" was not checked. Thank you though.

Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud

Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud. I am trying to sync fonts and the install is not working. The adobe application manager will open on its own and not allow the creative cloud app to install. I do have other creative cloud products installed however the creative cloud installer icon is not appearing in my toolbar nor does creative cloud show up as an app. I get an error message that I must have creative cloud installed when I try to sync fonts via the type kit to photoshop.

Hello ducky,
as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
Sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
