I've found 'Blackberry Device Manager' running in the background of my Mac? But its been deleted? How do I get rid?

I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro to a new Retina model, and while looking at the activity monitor I've noticed I still have an app running in the background that I thought had been deleted? Its the 'Blackberry Device Manager'? (See photo)
I've tried doing a spotlight search to try and find the program and delete? It's not in my apps list?
So I'm stuck and need some help? Thank you

That is a LaunchAgent. You will find it in the /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/ or /Library/LaunchAgents/ folder. To delete it you will have to first kill the process in Activity Monitor, then drag the file to the Trash and delete it. If the process reappears, then drag the item to the Trash and restart the computer, after which you can Empty the Trash.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.

HT1349 How do I close apps running in the background on my mac?

Can someone please let me know if there is a way to close apps running in the background on my mac.

open activity monitor in the utilities folder, select the app and and click the red button that says "quit process".

When i close firefox it runs in the background consuming noticable processing power.why? and how do i stop it?

This only happens occasionally and the only reason why I found out it was firefox is by opening up task manager and selecting the Processes tab. There is no crash reporter or any thging to say there was a problem just a reduction in speed and performance.

This is generally caused by a problematic add-on. See this article on possible solutions: [[Firefox hangs#w_hang-at-exit]].

With new phone download, how do you close applications running in the background? Used to push hold and delete.

With new ph download how do you close apps running. In the background

Obviously you didn't search the forum prior to your post as there have been a lot of posters with the same question. Double tap on the home button as usual. Scroll left or right to select the app that you want to close and swipe upward to close it. The iPhone ios7 user guide is available online from Apple support and from the ibook store on your phone.

Soundbooth quit, but running in the background

Has anyone ever quite Soundbooth, yet hours and even days later found that it is running in the background in windows? I have windows 7, with a dual core processor, and the last time I had soundbooth on was 18 or so hours ago, yet right now using the windows task manager, I can see that soundbooth is taking up a full 50 percent of one of my cores processess. (It ISN'T on in running applications). And this is the first time I've found this happening...
I couldn't find any articles about this so I wasn't sure if it's just a weird glitch happening to me...

D'oh!
I meant to say this ISN'T the first time I've found this happening; it's like the fifth...
(And I also know "quit" shouldn't end with an "e")

Firefox constantly runs in the background even when closed

Hi
I have Firefox 3.6.8 running on Windows Vista.
I have found that Firefox constantly runs in the background even when i have just booted up the computer or when i have closed it.
Firefox seems to constantly run with 5000-20000 K bytes in the memory.
When i have Firefox running to look at webpages, there are two processes running. When i close Firefox there is one process running. If i end the process using the task manager, it only takes seconds before it starts to run again.
I know this isnt normal because i keep a good eye on the processes running on my computer. So unless the latest version of Firefox requires this process running all the time, it looks like i have a probably.
Ive scanned my computer with zonealarm, avast, superantispyware and spybot to scan my computer for viruses. One of the pieces of software found a virus and it deleted it successfully.
Im not too sure if this is a virus that is hiding in my system or whether its part of the latest version of Firefox.
Firefox isnt showing the usual signs of a virus. As in it doesnt try to redirect me to random websites and it doesnt try to get me to download something.
I hope someone can help me please.
Rob

After talking to someone very helpful on the live chat support.
It appears like i have a virus that is very good at hiding from detection from anti-virus/spyware software.
No idea what intentions the virus has as its not showing any sort of virus like behaviour.
I called the old installation a different name and closed the Firefox process. A few seconds later, instead of a Firefox process starting again a different executable started.

Blackberry Device Manager can't find 9320 Bluetooth device (even Bluetooth is switched on and set to Discoverable)

I want to sync my Blackberry 9320 via Bluetooth to a Windows 7 Professional machine using a Bluetooth adapter. Syncing using USB cable works fine.
I can Bluetooth pair with the 9320 and also send / receive files to /from the Windows 7 machine. Fantastic !
HOWEVER, Blackberry Device Manager can not find the 9320 Bluetooth device (even Bluetooth is switched on and set to Discoverable) - see screen shots below.
By the way I have already tried (amongst other things) “Manually Install RIM Virtual Serial Ports in Microsoft® Windows® 7” on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK2n5dHxGHI Unfortunately, this does now work - the drivers do load up OK and remove the warning signs when view in Windows Device Manager, but Blackberry Device Manager still can't see my 9320.
Please help !

I have the exact same problem with my 9360. I have also tried all the fixes I could find on the Internet with no luck. I have posted a request as well. I will let you know if I find a solution. What gets me though is that this appears to be a long standing issue with no obvious fix! Best of luck.

Failure of INSTALL Blackberry device manager 6.0.2- Windows 7

I was attempting to attach to my PC with USB and Playbook began to autoinstall - Blackberry device manager 6.0.2
Install goes along for a while- and after I accept license- error comes up that says
"Error 2203.Database: C:\Windows\Installer\13981251.ipi.
Cannot open database file. System error -2147287035."
I attempted to install twice as I want to try put movies on Playbook to see playback.

Hello henlan,

I found a remote service running after the 10.10.3 update. ps -A|grep remote. And I had remote management turned off in prefs.

I force quit the process with activity monitor.
This looks as if it could be a problem.

Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck

My dvd drive not recognized in device manager,getting the yellow explanation mark.

my dvd drive not recognized in device manager,getting the yellow explanation mark. Tried uninstallingdevice drive and scanning for new hardware. scanned for updates, etc. I getting no results. The laptop is a Pavilion DV5. Thanks

Hi,
It could be that the drive has a Hardware issue, but try the following.
From the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, open Device Manager, right click the DVD drive and select Uninstall. When this has completed, restart the notebook and let Windows rediscover the device and check.
Regards,
DP-K

I am unable to update devices with Apple Configurator because of this message - unable to send ClearPasscode command to device - I am running Configurator 1.5 and ios 7.1.1. I am unable to rename/number devices. How can I get rid of this error message.

I am unable to update devices with Apple Configurator because of this message - unable to send ClearPasscode command to device - I am running Configurator 1.5 and ios 7.1.1. I am unable to rename/number devices. How can I get rid of this error message.

I've just seen this message for the first time and it's showing on 10 devices.
What I really love about Apple Configurator is the copious amount of context driven help offered to you.
"Unable to send ClearPasscode command to device.
The device was disconnected.
Check the USB connection to the device."

I am apparently using a crazy amount of data this month. Could there be something running in the background on my device?

As mama23dogs said check data usage, if you see any spikes you can drag the vertical lines in to that range and it will update the apps for that time frame.

Firefox is running in the background, but the process can't be ended using the task manager?

The program wouldn't open because it was apparently still running in the background, so I restarted a few times which didn't help. Then I tried using the task manager to end the process but that didn't work either. Then opened the command prompt and used taskkill, then pskill (using the PID number) but neither worked. The problem wasn't with how I was using these commands as they could close any other program I had running, just not firefox.exe*32. Any ideas?

Try:

Thanks too all the people who responded. . . . (noone)
Got it sorted though. Seems that Apple has issues with multiple apple id's.
Seems i had to somehow remember and use the original id i had when i first bought my 1st iPhone. . . .
Even after that it was extremely hard to get my apps back on my PC.
If anyone else has the same problem. . . .email Apple. Cya.
