Hello everyone
I have recently updated to 10.4.8 and also iTunes 7.0.1 (as have many others).
I have noticed, however, that the UniversalAccessApp is always running after login from looking at Activity Monitor.
Now, I know this basically is the Universal Access Preferences, but I have these turned off.
Booting up with my login items disabled also results in the UniversalAccessApp also running in the background (so it isn't my login items).
btw, here are my login items:
LittleSnitchDaemon *
iTunesHelper *
PalmDesktopBackground *
TransportMonitor *
iScrobbler
iController
Quicksilver *
The starred items are 'hidden'
So, my question is, what could be launching the UniversalAccessApp prog seeing as I'm not running it myself and my login items aren't either.
Is this a glitch with either iTunes 7.0.1 or os 10.4.8 updates?
Thanx for any help (i'd rather not have an unused app using up cpu/ram if I can help it )
