"Terminal" opens on its own after starting my MBP

First of all, I'd like to apologize for my english...
I have a problem since 2 weeks ago. Everytime I start my mac, a Terminal's window opens on its own, and the next sequence of commands starts to execute in themselves:
Last login: Mon Jun 8 00:18:46 on console

I've no idea of the cause of this problem, but i'm really scared about the possibility of being a virus, so I'd be very grateful if you give a hand with it.
Thank you very much

Hello MIke:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
No need to apologize. My English, at times, is not very good and it is my native tongue!
First, there are NO viruses that affect a Mac running OS X - none.
Open system preferences>accounts>log in items. See if "terminal" appears there (probably not).
I suspect this article will help yoiu solve the problem:

    my itunes keeps opening on its own without me opening it, it will happen again and again even after i close it. how do i fix it to make it stop doing this as it is extreemely annoying

    If it is doing it while your device is plugged in, it is because it is set to automatically sync. Please go to: Preferences>Devices, and select the option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically." Also, I hate to be "that guy", but you spelt extremely wrong. Just a pro tip.

  • My MacBook Pro 10.6.8 prompted me of a new itunes update this morning, so i downloaded it. Since then itunes has been starting up randomly on its own, and starts playing the first song on the list. I quit itunes, and it keeps reopening.

    My MacBook Pro 10.6.8 prompted me of a new itunes update this morning, so i downloaded it. Since then itunes has been starting up randomly on its own, and starts playing the first song on the list. I pause the song, and it resumes it on its own again. I'm not joking. So, I end up quiting out of itunes; but, it starts right back up again on its own. After quiting out of the app a few times, it eventually stops reopening; however, about an hour later (or less) it opens again. HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP? I'm just about to delete itunes, because I've had enough of this crap. I hope someone can help. I've restarted the laptop, and it seemed like that fixed it, then itunes started up doing the same thing again an hour later. ituneshelper is unchecked; bluetooth is off; i only have speakers and a mouse plugged in (also charger).

    Read this Apple Discussion Thread and possible solutions. The audio jack has been the main culprit, also certain sync and automation settings including connected remotes.

  • The Character Pallett repeatedly opens on its own and crashes

    Starting this morning I am being driven crazy by the Character Pallett launching unexpectedly on its own and then crashing almost immediately. Then it attempts to launch again, flashes briefly on screen, and crashes again. My crash log shows the same repeated process.[Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: (index >= 0) && (index < [_itemArray count])']
    It's pretty impossible to get anything done. I tried reinstalling OSX combo 1.6.8, but the installer would not see my startup drive as being eligable; I then reinstalled Snow Leopard 10.6 and attempted to update to 10.6.8 that way. But this attempt lead to an error that cancled the install. So now I am running 10,6, but with many apps that require 10.6.8. And the Character Pallett keeps poping up and then crashing even with 10.6. I'm beginning to think it may be a hardware problem, either ram or logic board issue; but I lack the diagnostic skills to figure it out.
    I thought of trying to launch the Character Pallett on purpose, but when I open the System Preferences and click the box that would place the Keybaord icon in the menu bar (which is the only way I know  to get to the Character Pallett) the icon doesn't appear. The check mark doesn't even stick.
    And help would be greatly appreciated.

    Where I am so far:
    1. First I should correct the term I was using. It's tje "Character Viewer" and not the Character Pallett. To access the viewer one normally opens System Prefs>Keyboard and clicks on the box saying Show Keyboard and Character Viewer in Menu Bar. Once in the menu bar, one can access the viewer via a pop down menue item. But I did not have the Keyboard in the menu bar and the viedwer was poping open on its own. I couldn't even get the keyboard menu to appear in the menu.
    2. I took the advice received so far and booted into Safe Mode, trashed the plist item. The viewer popped open on its own still, but did not immediately crash. I could click on the red window controller and close the window. In safe mode I could get the keyboard menu to appear and could select the Character Viewer.
    3. I removed off all my log in items—the only odd thing I noticed was the duplication of iTunes helper. At this point I still could not upgrade from 10.6 to 10.6.8 via the combo updater. So I rebooted normally, but with no log in items. The System Pref for showing the keyboard menu item still did not work. Nor could I upgrade to 10.6.8 with the combo updater. I also tried update just to 10.6.1, but got the same Installer error. But the Character Viewer popup/crash is gone, but so to is access to all the iLife apps that require 10.6.8. iTunes, for example cannot see my iPhone or iPad when they are plugged in via usb.
    So I guess I should thank yuou guys for your help andnow post a new question about not being able to upgrade Snow Leopard. Perhaps there's already been a similar problem posted.

  • CD/DVD drive open on its own - Equium L40

    Hi,
    I have a Equium L40-10X laptop bought recently from Pc World. It's been working fine until recently my cd/dvd drive popped open on its own. I closed it and then about 10 minutes later it did it again. This happens every so often. After a bit of research I found out it could have been a spyware issue. Scanned, and removed all traces etc. Problem appeared to be gone, but alas, the drive once again popped open.
    Recently the drive is not reading discs as well. It seems to work when it wants for any time between 10 seconds and an hour at a time. The things got a mind of its own....and when it's not working, the button to open the drive doesn??t seem to work. I have to use a paperclip to open the drive.
    Either I have a haunted laptop or there's something wrong.
    Has anyone had any experience of anything like this before or have any advice on what to do?
    Thanks, Jon.

    Hi mate
    I didnt notice something like this before but I presume its a mechanical problem.
    Dont think 3rd party software (program, spyware, virus, etc) could cause this issue.
    Additionally you have said that the drive is not reading discs as well.
    In such case I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country and to ask for the drive check and if necessary for an ODD drive replacement.
    If the warranty is valid the replacement should be done for free.
    Best regards

  • My iTunes keeps opening on its own HELP!!

    I really need help here. I have Googled this for a while now, and I can't find any fix. My iTunes will just spontaneously open on its own, sometimes it'll play the first song in my library and other times it won't. This has been going on for a few months now, through multiple versions of the iTunes software. Currently, I am using version 10.5 on Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8). I do not have plug ins that interact with iTunes installed anywhere on my computer, nor do I have widgets for iTunes. I do have devices I connect to iTunes, but I've disabled the Wi-Fi sync, thinking that was the culprit. It actually seemed to work at first when I did it, but now the problem is back in full swing and I've now gotten to the point where I need to store the iTunes app in the trash so the computer no longer has access to open it. I tried entering in "killall iTunes" into Terminal, based off a suggestion I read somehwere else, and it of course quits the program, but then iTunes just opens up again 5 seconds later. Has anyone found the reason this is happening? I see a lot of similar complaints, but NO answers and Apple support seems to be blind to the issue. I would appreciate any advice I could get on the matter, thank you.

    That's crazy, LeonieDF, but i think you are Right!
    itunes autolaunching was driving me nuts, i removed my headphones from the headphone jack on my macbook pro, and voila! No more problem. What a wierd bug.

  • LIghtroom upgrade (1.3) opens on its own.

    I downloaded the Lightroom(LR) upgrade yesterday and now LR has opened on its own about 4 times in the last 24 hours. It happens when I'm doing some totally unrelated keyboard input. I'm running Win XP Pro and I'm working on a complete new system build. I don't think I had even used LR 1.1 prior to opening the upgrade. I've really only opened LR 1.3 once since installing the upgrade and it seems to work fine once opened. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
    For Adobe development, here is the Win XP Event Viewer description:
    "Faulting application lightroom.exe, version 1.3.1.0, faulting module storeprovider .dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0004cfd1."
    followed by the next event:
    "Hanging application lightroom.exe, version 1.3.1.0, hang module hungapp. version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000."

    Thanks Lee. I had actually just traced the problem back to the photo download as a start-up item and disabled it. Your post confirmed this action.
    In my case, I didn't have a camera or reader connected to the PC and my all-in-one printer was turned off the whole time. Obviously, this problem can arise even with the device turned off.

  • IMac wakes on its own after putting it to sleep

    Just got my iMac back from the shop with a new hard drive put in. After setting it up, it seems to wake from sleep on its own after a few minutes. Only change since before sending it in to be fixed (when i had no issues with sleep) is that I now have it set up to access the internet thru a wireless router. Could that cause the waking up? should i try turning Airport off before sleeping to see if that works?
    Thanks

    I'm kind of out of ideas, for now.
    Have you tried to repair permissions/disk? I'm not exactly sure how your system is set up, but your wireless internet shouldn't be to blame [in theory]. When you put your iMac to sleep, it should be turning off the AirPort card [along with various other components]. It would be a possibility that if you had your mac hooked in by ethernet and you had something like "Wake on ethernet ring" checked in System Prefs. [that your mac could randomly wake up].
    I almost wonder if it's a firmware problem. Or maybe a problem with a Mac OS X update, I'm also contemplating that it could help to download a combined updater and try to install.
    Hmmmm....
    I'll think on it. I know there's some idea that I'm missing here which could help, but I just can't get it to come to mind.

  • After downloading ios 8 on my i pad air 16 GB, my i pad keeps on restarting on its own after some time?  any idea how can it be rectified?

    after downloading ios 8 on my i pad air 16 GB, my i pad keeps on restarting on its own after some time?  any idea how can it be rectified?

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • The Firefox menu opens on its own when idle and know one is using the computer. Why?

    I have three windows 7 x64 computers with Firefox 5 as the default browser. Firefox is always open, and usually the active window. I've noticed with 5 that the Firefox menu will pop open on its own. My computer will have the screen dimmed or blacked-out from the idle timer, then from the corner of my eye I see it activate and and the Firefox menu is open. Since then I've actually seen it open on it's own when I wasn't using the system. Keeps making me think someone has logged into my computer and was doing stuff. And before anyone asks, all AV is up to date and scanned daily, and no has remote access to any of these computers. Thanks.

    Seems like your Computer is Haunted :-P just kidding..
