Why do my airport, bluetooth, and some applications automatically turn on after start up?

Hello. I have some problems with my Powerbook G4 15" (last generation). While most of airport problem is, it can't be turned on, but why do my airport and bluetooth automatically turn on as well as some application like microsoft word and VLC everytime after I start up my Powerbook?. I have no clue why those happen. It was only airport before, but then some application as well as my bluetooth start to do the same. Can anyone help me? Thank you so much.

I don't have an answer for the AirPort problem but you might want to go to the Airport Community and post there. It appears to be an active group. good luck.

  • Why do some applications automatically open at startup

    I just installed mountain lion.  I noticed that when the computer starts up microsoft windows and excel open automatically.  I have another application that does it sometimes as well.  why do some applications automatically open at startup?  How can I change this?

    Quit them before shutting down the computer, and check the list of login items in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences.

    Check your Bluetooth, do you have a bunch of stuff listed in there that you are no longer using?
    Or another peripheral you stored away in a cabinet near by?

  • Sound for messages and e-Mail get turned off after using handsfree in car

    Does anyone have a solution when sounds alerting messages and e-mails are turned off after using the phone in var with handsfree (using Bluetooth)? The sounds are turned back on when restarting the phone but reoccurs after driving in car with handsfree again. This is very annoying when takling several trips with car during a day. The phone still rings when receiving a call.

    I did find a solution to my iPhone-iPod-music-overriding-streaming-streaming-services-while-connected-to-USB problem  Although, this solution is likely only applicable to BMW owners with the BMW Apps feature aka 6NR.
    There may be other/simpler ways, but this seems to work:
    1) Launch Pandora (or could be Mog, or other BMW Apps app) BEFORE you start iPhone/iPod playback
    2) Start playback of Pandora via ConnectedDrive/BMW Apps.
    3) Press Home button on iPhone, launch your streaming app.
    The car still seems to think it's in the ConnectedDrive audio menu, as evidenced by the Entertainment details screen. You can now consistently play back any other audio service via your iPhone without the iPod audio overriding what you're doing. Good times! The only drawback so far is lack of ability to skip tracks via the steering wheel.
    As long as you haven't started iPhone/iPod playback when you get in the car, you can often skip steps #1 and #2, and go straight into the ConnectedDrive menu, then go to step #3.  Either way, following steps #1-3 works everytime.

    Hello kanani-2014,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your Mac not turning on. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
    Resolution
    If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
    Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
    If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter. 
    Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
    Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
    If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

  • Cleaned files and apps with "app cleaner" and now MacBook Air turns off during start up. What happens? What can I do? Please help

    Cleaned files and apps with "app cleaner" and now MacBook Air turns off during start up. What happens? What can I do? Please help

    The "app cleaner" managed to do bad things to the file system so that it is unable to boot any longer.
    This is the primary reason I always recommend that any of those so called "cleanup" apps never be used. They do more harm then good.
    Try a safe boot by holding down the shifgr key when you hear the boot chime. Maybe that can fix the damage.
    Let us know what happens.

  • Some applications won't open after updating to OS 10.8.5

    I am running the Mountain Lion on a 2009 Macbook Air. I just did an update to 10.8.5 and now some of my applications won't open. A few of the appications that no longer run are Chrome, iPhoto and all Microsoft applications.
    I tried uninstalling an reinstalling the apps but that did nothing, I also tried creating a new user account to see if the problem persisted in there and it did. I then tried removing my caches folder from Library which also fixed nothing. I then tried booting it in safe mode and the applications successfully opened in there.
    I obviously can't just boot my Macbook up in safe mode whenever I need to use it so if anyone knows how this problem could be solved? They were all functioning normally before I did the most recent update of OS.
    I have tried repairing the disk permissions but that resulted in no change also. I do not have the start up disk for Mountain Lion so reinstalling the OS is not possible, nor is booting from disk.
    I'm in my final year of college, in the middle of my final year project I REALLY need this fixed.

    When I try to open iPhoto, Unity, Chrome or a few others it gives me the same error each time. "iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X"
    But that doesn't make sense because I just updated the OS and all my applications are up to date also. I've tried reinstalling, no joy though.

  • Why Software Updater does not install some updates automatically?

    QuestionWhy Software Updater does not install some updates automatically?
    AnswerSoftware Updater only installs security-related updates automatically. Non-security-related updates, and service packs installation are required to be initiated manually via the Software updates tab under the Policy Manager Console.
    In Policy Manager 12, a checkbox Show non-security-related updates has been introduced under the Policy Manager Console > Software tab. Unchecking the checkbox hides the following update types:
    Microsoft security tools
    Non-security updates
    Service packs
    Note: This checkbox is Policy Manager Console-specific setting. If you change the setting in one Policy Manager Console, it would not affect another Policy Manager Console connected to the same Policy Manager Server.

  • My iPhone shuts down with certain apps and says dead Batt. with plenty left. Now it wont turn on after starting up and turning off many times

    I got my Dads old iPhone 3GS for Christmas and reset it to its factory settings. It had this problem with my Dad to, thats why he got a new phone. It was claiming that the battery was dead when I opened certain apps eventhough it had plenty of battery, It made me charge it and then said it was plenty charged. Why? That happened multiple times. That's what happened to my Dad as well. This however, is me only. O.K. so, the other day, it did it's battery dead shutdown thing, so I plugged it in, but it kept starting up, then shutting down again, starting up, and shutting down again. Now I've left it on the charger for about a days, it's not on the charger now, and it won't turn on. Help!!!!!!

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • 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 isn't my iPod touch 4th gen not turning on after getting the ios 5 installed?

    I just installed the new iOS 5 to my iPod touch 4th gen tonight and when I got home from dinner (about 10min ago) it still hadn't turned on after letting it sit plugged in for over two hours after the update. I was wondering if anyone knew why it wasn't working or if it had happened to anyone else? Any help?
