MacBook Pro Terminal opens each time I power on my Mac?

[Bennyboy]

Since I installed lion couple months ago, once in a while now, after I turn on my Mac, my terminal is open.
Is there a reason why it opens itself up? I'm not an expert on macs, and this is the first time in 3 years since I've owned it that something like this has happened. Is this normal?

That sounds pretty technical. I don't know.

Is this checked?

Europa's nailed it. As usual.

I'm not home now, ill try that later. I just don't get it how it's open in the first place, haven't touched it, and it's not everytime I turn my computer on.
I'll let you know.

You need a VNC app such as Splashtop. That way, you can access your Mac's desktop right from your iPhone.

It's called "operator error" Benny. Yes, you did it.

Yeah, I paid for Splashtop (iPhone app) after hearing a few people mention it on here. Then when I went do download it on the Mac App Store I was horrified at the price.

If memory serves, I downloaded the Mac app for free here.

Edit: not sure if the Mac App Store version has other features or not.

No mindi, it's not checked, what else could it be.

I only have a MacBook, not an iMac, yet, doesn't the computer need to be on to use it?

That's the streamer, works the same way. I like to use a universal app that works from iPhone/iPad to Mac/Win and Mac to Mac or Win to Win or Mac to Win etc.

Splashtop is a bit pricey and does the same as the free alternatives.

Yes the computer needs to be on, and it will work on a MacBook.

Have a play around with apps like TeamViewer and LogMeIn.

I love Splashtop. Plays audio and video. Very polished and frequently updated.

I believe Splashtop adds sound to the remote viewing experience which is absent from apps like iTeleport. May not be an issue for some users.

Edit: I was testing the app and didn't refresh the thread before making this post. Sorry for the redundant info

I'm not too bothered about the audio, I've never needed audio through remote desktop.

It's handy, though, if you need to show someone something and you're away from your computer.

I agree with you, but it's something I've never had so I wont miss it.
