Application Failure Launch on startup

The application "processd " could not be launched because of a shared library error: "(<main><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonSound>"
This started popping up on my iMac G3 every startup. Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks

I was able to find some left over apps that I removed and took care of this.

Why my applications are launched by default at the startup ?

I have a problem with a new installation of Lion. When I shutdown my computer, all the applications are launched by default.
I have unchecked the option "Reopen windows when logging back in". When I go to my login items in the preferences system, any application is present and when I click right and go to the options tab, the option "Open at login" is unchecked.
The applications who are launched are Mail, NetNewsWire, Chrome and iTunes.
How can I do to fix the problem?
Thanks for your help.

Yes I really close my program. I go the name of my program and click on Quit.
But I have fix my problem. You just have to go in the Library/Preferences and delete all the com.apple files and the content of ByHost directory.
It's like a new computer but it's solve the problem.
Thanks for your help.

How do I tell which hard drive an application is launching from?

Hello. I am first time user of the support communities here. I have searched the forums prior to posting, but haven't been able to find an answer.
I have a 2011 model Mac Mini (purchased 12/2011) running OSX Lion. A couple weeks ago, I started getting a pop-up error telling me that I was running out of startup disk space. I did a check through "about this Mac" / disc utility and found that I was indeed very low on space on my stock 500GB HDD. This machine see light use, but serves as primary storage (wirelessly backed-up through Time Machine to a NAS (1TB WD MyBook World Edition) attached to my AirPort Extreme, for photos (iPhoto) and music and digital copies of movies associated to iTunes, along with back-ups (through iTunes) for 4 iPhones and an iPad for our family.
Anyway, I searched online and found that since this model had eliminated the optical drive, I could add a second hard drive. For this application, I valued space over blazing performance, so I opted for a Seagate 1TB SSHD (hybrid drive) to add to my existing 500GB drive. I was able to install the second drive just fine following these instructions and the following YouTube video as a guide. I erased / initialized the second drive through disk utility so it was mounted / usable. I needed to set the drive with available space as my startup disk, so I then installed OSX Lion (recovery USB key) on the second drive (volume "untitled") and followed the migration steps to copy all of my settings, applications, documents, etc from the stock drive (volume Macintosh HD) to the new one. That all went fine.
I seem to have the same data on both drives according to the usage shown on About this Mac > Storage. The drives are in OSX Extended (Journaled) mode. My question is that I want to free up appx 498GB of space, if possible, by removing the duplicate data from the original 500GB stock (no longer "startup" drive). Is there a downside to doing that? Is there a way to determine which drive my applications are launching from to make sure I don't have applications reading from one drive and writing to the other, or something. When I clicked "about" in a couple of sample applications to check, I can't tell... It starts the location context with /users/Matt.........iTunes.app for example. I can't tell which drive it's actually launching from / accessing right now when I open it.
Appreciate any insight.
Thanks,
Matt

Some applications absolutely must be in the main Applications folder. Others can be put pretty much anywhere but they will use preferences stored in the user's directory on whatever drive that is, and use Application Support on the boot drive. I think it would be wise to keep applications on the main drive and store only data on your other drive. However, I do occasionally end up with applications on two drives, or multiple copies of a few applications so I can process two files at the same time. Some applications tolerate being renamed and if you need/want two copies then you can perhaps label them as to the drive on which they are located.

IPhoto launching at startup, iSight no longer works, 10.4.8 to blame?

My built-in iSight (first 17" intel iMac) is "in use by another application" when I attempt to use it from iMovie, iChat, or Photo Booth. When I tried disconnecting everything and rebooting, I discovered that iPhoto is launching at startup.
The only thing I can think of that has changed recently is a system update about a week ago, including 10.4.8 and whatever apps were updated.
iPhoto is not set to launch in either the StartupItems folder or my user's login items. It also does not show as checked when I ctrl-click on it in the dock.
So far I've tried resetting the PRAM and installing MacOSXUpd10.4.8Intel.dmg to no avail. I see a reference to a "Combo Update" in another unrelated thread (network problems). Does anyone recommend this? Or am I just hosed until 10.5 comes out.

Problem solved. It was a digital camera driver which is no longer compatible since the new update.
03: Check your system console and see if you have any malloc errors. Are you using anything you had to install drivers for? You get the starfish for being considerate enough to reply. I hope you get it worked out.

Finder won't launch at startup

What's the best way out of a problem which stops the Finder launching at startup? I have no idea why my recently clean-installed system seems to spontaneously start corrupting in the middle of innocuous tasks but here's my own grisly log of this issue:
1. Erase Boot Camp partition
2. Create new Boot Camp partition
3. Install Windows XPsp2 and Apple Boot Camp drivers
4. Boot into Windows, install 2 apps, all ok
5. Boot into Mac Os
6. Disk Utility Verify Disk reports all ok
7. Repair permissions
8. TextEdit freezes while saving to desktop
9. Finder is inaccessible although cursor moves
10. Force power down
11. Reboot but icons don't load and menubar is incomplete and transparent
12. Message: Finder quit unexpectedly on startup
13. Message: SystemUI Server quit unexpectedly on startup
14. Finder Report:
Identifier: Finder
Verdsion: ??? (???)
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGBUS)
Crashed Thread: 3
(unable to scroll to remainder of report)
15. Repeat 10-14 above with same result
16. Boot into external FW drive (10.5.1)
17. Very slow
18. Click on Disk Utility in Dock and it disappears in puff of smoke.
19. Open DU from Applications folder and Verify Disk reports internal Mac partition is ok
20. However DU unable to verify new Boot Camp volume as it "could not be unmounted".
21. Open Boot Camp volume but no files or folders visible.
22. Repair permissions on internal Mac disk.
23 Reboot into internal Mac partition
24 Repeat 11-14 above
25. Force power down and reboot into Safe Mode
26. Repeat 11-14 above
Does anyone have a clue what might be going on? Meanwhile, is there anything short of (yet another) system reinstall which might fix it? I have a Time Machine backup - not as current as I would like but that may be A Good Thing. But I keep having issues with this iMac after 5 weeks of perfect running... ever since the 10.5.2/Graphics/Quicktime 7.4.1 updates to be precise.
Is it conceivable that my symptoms are hardware related? Even after a zero erase and full reinstallation a week ago, I can't seem to keep the machine running properly.
I have a very similarly configured Intel MacBookPro which has behaved impeccably - but it is still running 10.5.1.
Thanks for any help.

Well, there has been a resounding silence so I guess y'all are out enjoying your weekend instead of poring over the forums.
Just to follow on with the next chapter: I booted one more time into my external drive and ran DU Verify Disk on my startup volume again. It passed it as OK. I then ran DiskWarrior 4.1 over the disk. It also passed it as OK. Finally, I ran all the TechTool Deluxe 3.12 hardware tests and the big one failed. It reported problems with the volume structure and attempted (but failed) to repair the Leaf Record Count in the Catalog B-Tree.
I guess it's possible that TT was wrong and the others were right but in view of the problems I'm having, I figure TT has to be right. So I'm now writing zeros to the Mac partition and will restore from Time Machine to a week-old backup which was carefully checked before backing up.
I just wish I knew what caused these problems. This is the second time in a fortnight that I have had to erase and reinstall - and it's becoming a full time job! Anyway, this is definitely the last time. If the disk goes kaput again, Apple can have my iMac back.

TS1717 I cannot get iTunes to automatically launch at startup in Windows 7. I need it to do this so my Apple TV 'finds' my Music Library, which is stored on an external hard-drive, connected to my Windows 7 PC.

I cannot get iTunes to automatically launch at startup in Windows 7. I need it to do this so my Apple TV 'finds' my Music Library, which is stored on an external hard-drive, connected to my Windows 7 PC. Anyone know how I do this? I cannot seem to find anything on Google, which is surprising.
iTunes helper launches OK, but not iTunes itself. Am I being dim?
Thanks

The iTunes application should be installed on the system drive. You may need to repair iTunes to fix that error regarding a missing .exe.
To organize your library properly see Make a split library portable.
If you don't have a working version of the library that can be transformed into a portable shape I have tools and techniques that can repair the broken links.

Dock won't launch at startup for all users

Any thoughts on why the Dock app won't launch at startup. This happens for both my admin account and the guest account. I am running OSX 10.8.2 on a 2008 MacBook Pro. Previous to this issue I had been messing/deleting the plists associated with the Dock (as per other discussions) because of the Dock process taking up 100% of the CPU and getting the box hot. This issue has of course resulted in the Dock not appearing, as well as Alt-Tab not working, reminders not working menu bar, and other Dock functions. I can launch the Dock app via the terminal but it's still wonky, like the iTunes (newest) GUI doesn't function and the DVD player won't work (seems to be a similar GUI issue). For now I've stuck the Dock app in the users login preferences but that's a bad work around since there are the other symptoms that are still going on.
Thoughts?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application (Dock) or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Why is Firefox (Mac) launching on startup?

I am running MacOS 10.7.5. It seems like around the time I upgraded to Firefox 18, it started to launch upon Startup. I have verified that my Preferences Login items does not include Firefox. My general System preferences are set not to restore windows on Startup.

* Control-click on the Firefox Dock icon and uncheck 'Open at Login'
* Click Accounts (in the System row of the System Preferences window)
** Click the Login Items tab
** Click on Firefox in the list
** Click the Minus (-) button

Null application failure/shared library error

I get a null application failure when I restart my eMac. I also can't run Quicken and several other applications. They all say shared library failure. Even my firefox browser won't launch.

You can try to reinstall Mac OS 10.4.8 combo update Intel or PPC.
Anyway, this is symptomatic of hard drive failure and needs repair (changing the hard drive).

How to STOP Mail from launching at startup

I hate even posting this question because it seems like I'm missing something easy. I want to stop mail from launching at start-up because I now have entourage.
I can find how to TURN OFF mail and TURN ON entourage at start up.
Mail: 2.1.3
Entourage: 12.2.3

You're overlooking the obvious, as you suspected.
Go to System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and remove Mail from that list. If you want Entourage to startup, add that to the list.
However, there's no good reason to use Entourage over Mail, especially because it stores all your mail in a single file, so if that file ever becomes corrupted (it will, at the worst possible time) all your mail is gone; it cannot be recovered.
Secondly, you shouldn't startup applications at launch, since that will slow down your startup time and can easily cause other problems before you even get the chance to do anything with the computer. If you need to use a program, launch it after the Finder has loaded completely.

Mail launches at startup

Since upgrading to OS X Lion, Mail launches upon startup. I don't want this to happen. I use gmail through my browser for my mail services. I looked in Login Items under Users and Groups within the System Preferences, but Mail isn't listed in the box of items at startup. Does anyone know how to turn this thing off? Thanks!
TBM

By default Lion restarts all applications that were running when the system was shut down. Quitting Mail now should prevent it from appearing on restart.

No data in Application failure Analysis report for a particular application alone.

Dear All,
We are not able to get the data in Application Failure Analysis report from Appadvisor for a particular application(say ABC) alone, whereas it works fine for different application. Also,we could get the data from other reports(such
as Application status,Problem distribution analysis,etc) for the same application(ABC). PFB snapshot for your reference.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Is there any error message when you run Application Failure Analysis report for the specific application?
Does this application have any failure alerts?
You may also look into operation manager even logs to check is there any errors or warnings.

ITunes auto launches on startup (no iPod/Phone connected)

For the last couple of weeks (perhaps longer) I've noticed iTunes launches itself whenever I restart my MacBook Pro.
There is no iPhone connected at the time.
Everything is up to date in software.
I've removed iTunes helper from my login items.
I'm at a loss.
Your assistance in resolving this matter would be very much appreciated.
Cheers!

I just tried restarting again, this time with iTunes last closed on my music tab rather than the store tab, where I realized it had been parked for some time.
iTunes still auto launched on startup, though after a longer delay than usual.
AND after I quit iTunes, it auto launched itself again. That was a first.
For what it's worth.

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.
