  • Why is my terminal opening at start up?

    Recently, my mac mini has started opening the terminal every time we start the computer. I have the "hide terminal" option set but it opens nonetheless and displays the following text:

    How do I make this go away?

    Go to your systempreferences, users, select your account and see if there is a program configured to run at startup. This may be a script that someone (or maybe even something) has installed. It seems like it has something to do with Java though, did this 'problem' occur before your installed/updated Java on your machine?

  • Terminal window always opening at start-up?

    My apologies if this is not the most appropriate place to post my questions.
    Recently, I've been getting frequent messages that my start up disk is almost full. I've emptied the trash and will soon be burning some of my iPhoto albums onto disk. I'm very hopeful that will help. (Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.)
    However, the bigger reason for my post is that the terminal window has started opening automatically every time I start up.
    This is what the window says:
    Terminal 80 x 24
    -X print help on non-standard options
    -ea[:<packagename>...|:<classname>]
    -enableassertions[:<packagename>...|:<classname>]

    -disableassertions[:<packagename>...|:<classname>]
    disable assertions

    enable system assertions
    -dsa | -disablesystemassertions
    disable system assertions
    -agentlib:<libname>[=<options>]
    load native agent library <libname>, e.g. -agentlib:hprof
    see also, -agentlib:jdwp=help and -agentlib:hprof=help
    -agentpath:<pathname>[=<options>]
    load native agent library by full pathname
    -javaagent:<jarpath>[=<options>]
    load Java programming language agent, see java.lang.instrument
    -splash:<imagepath>
    show splash screen with specified image
    logout

    I have NO idea what any of this means. Would someone please tell me what's going on with my Macbook and what to do about it? Thank you so much.

    super
    back on your disk problem - does it seem that the bulk of your space is within your user account?
    If so, then carry on moving what you can.
    it's worth quickly checking that the numbers make sense, and your shortage isn't due some file you can't see.

  • Download folder doesn't open and instead makes Terminal open up

    MacOSX 10.9.5 on MacBook Air of 2014. Open downloadfolder in Finder does not work. Trying so opens the terminal window saying only the name of the folder and -bash- . In Finder list view moreover the download folder lost its little triangle at the beginning of the name.
    This behaviour started when I tried an old mediathek to open in iPhoto 9.5.1.  It said I must download an actualization file, install it and then ... I did so, but when now opening iPhoto with any photo(s) it says it needs actualization and when I click on "Actualizar" (all Spanish), iPhoto crashes each time. The downloadfolder problem started the same moment.
    On my second MacBookAir, same MacOSX, same purchase date, it did the following, when trying to open that same mediathek with the same version of  iPhoto: Image folder (instead of download folder ...) does not open and starts Terminal as described above. MOREOVER all icons on the screen are "fixed" (not sorted!) and can't be moved to a different place on screen with the trackpad or mouse (can be moved though to other folders and trash bin). They follow, but when releasing they jump back to their original position. And iPhoto on this second one behaves equally, asking for "actualizar" and then crashes, when I confirm it.
    Weird, isn't it? Thanks for any good advice ...

    i just went into preferences, deleted what was in the home page, and entered a new home page address which solved the problem, 

  • Terminal "open" command misbehaving

    In Terminal, when I use the "open" command on any folder, I expect that folder to open in the Finder. For example, "open /Applications" should open the Applications folder in the Finder.
    This does not happen for me. Instead, iTunes opens and starts to import any music files it can find in the folder I specified. This does not happen when I double-click on a folder in the Finder.
    I have rebuilt the LaunchServices database (using Yasu) but that didn't help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    (highland_park:~)$ which open
    /usr/bin/open
    When I double-click Applications (or any other folder) in the Finder, the folder opens normally. (This is with View->As Icons selected.)
    I have nothing in ~/LIbrary/Workflows.
    I just discovered that if I put any folder in the dock, right-click on it, and select "Open [folder name]", then it opens in iTunes. (Does this just trigger the open command?)
    I'm enjoying poking around, and I very much appreciate all the suggestions.

  • XFCE terminal opens in background

    What I mean by background is usually I just click the terminal shortcut and start typing.  Now I have to click in the window first.  This also happens with the file manager shortcut.  This is a regression although I'm not sure what update caused it.  The problem appears to be with the "exo-open" program that the shortcuts in the quickbar (and also with the "terminal emulator" and "file manager" shortcuts in the Applications menu.)  The "exo-open" program opens whatever terminal or file manager you have set as default.
    If I go down to system > Xfce Terminal or Thunar file manager which opens those programs directly I don't have this problem.  They open in the foreground.  The quickbar "exo-open" shortcuts used to do that same.  I'm wondering what changed.

    Nevermind found the regression.  Looks like exo is its own package and was just updated two days ago.  Downgraded from exo-0.10.4-1 to exo-0.10.3-2 and the problem went away.
    EDIT:  And bug report opened https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44282
    Not sure whether this should also be reported upstream.

  • Why does the terminal open when I try to install an application?

    I just installed a software update, and I cannot install any applications without the bash Terminal opening up.  I don't know what it does or how it works.  Prior to the the OS X update, this issue never occurred, when I downloaded an application - it installed automatically.  I would like things to install automatically since I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to code or bash or whatever.  PLEASE HELP!

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Safari doesn't open in start page

    Hi everybody,
    since I have installed Mac OS X Lion, Safari doesn't open in start page. It opens always at the last page I was at least. What can I do?

    Try this:
    Open ‘System Preferences’
    Locate and open the ‘General’ menu
    Near the bottom uncheck the box that says “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”

  • IPhoto 6.0.5 opening at start-up

    iPhoto 6.0.5 consistantly opens on start-up. The card-reader is not connected. How do I stop the application from launching? Is this a bug or normal responce?
    Thanks for any help.
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Updated processor 1Ghz, Video and Audio cards.

    Check your System Preferences under 'Accounts/Login Items'. IF iPhoto appears there, click on it and then the '-' sign below.
    Alternatively, if the iPhoto icon appears in the dock below, right click (or Control-click) on the icon and, if the 'Open at Login' appears, select it to remove the option.

  • My brother-in-law recently passed away. My sister gave his MacBook Pro to my niece. When she opens and starts the laptop, it shows my brother-in-laws name. Is there a way to change his name to her name without formatting the device and starting over?

    My brother-in-law recently passed away. My sister gave his MacBook Pro to my niece. When she opens and starts the laptop, it shows my brother-in-laws name. Is there a way to change his name to her name without formatting the device and starting over?

    BigTex415,
    my condolences for your family’s loss. If all she seeks to do is to change the display name, and she’s willing to leave the account name unchanged, then she could do the following: log in as the administrative user and open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. If the padlock in the lower-left corner is locked, unlock it. Select the account that shows your brother-in-law’s name on the left-hand side of the window, and then on the right-hand side, change the text in the “Full name” textbox to her preferred display name. If desired, click on the padlock in the lower-left corner to relock it.

  • After updating my latest iTunes, the currupted program won't open or start, even tried deleting the program and reinstall.

    On my Windows 7, my latest iTune, after udating to the latest version, I cannot open or start the program.  I even deleted the program from my system and then reinstall/download iTune from Apple Store, but the same problem persist.  Anyway to get back my iTune back?

    Hey there nkg0319,
    It sounds like you have uninstalled the iTunes application but you are still not able to launch it after a recent update. I would recommend uninstalling the iTunes application and its associated files with the following article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Then download iTunes again, with this link:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
