Hi
It's an add-on of some soft for iTunes:
http://www.onlinevideowatch.com/swarmcast-rolls-out-autobahn/
Perhaps you know it under another name? Have a look in /Library/LaunchDaemons. If you find anything remove it. There may be an uninstaller available with the associated application?

  • Macbook won't fall asleep found this in Console

    I tried to set sleep in Energy Manager and this is the Console message when I did.  Mac won't fall asleep on it's own.  All third party or applications which might cause it to stay awake were off.  I think it's a plist problem but which one?
    Any body have any ideas?

  • IPhoto hangs, found Console message

    Though I'm a Mac user for over 10 years, I'm no good when deciphering Console jargon or attempting a Terminal command.  My iPhoto has (as well as most everything else with Mavericks) been unusually slow when opening, importing, changing folders, editing, tagging, opening a slideshow, etc...pretty much in every way.
    I opened Console as advised and found this repeated message (happening 4-5 times per second) while I was either opening iPhoto or importing 3 photos:
    11/12/13 8:47:57.000 AM kernel[0]: Sandbox: mdworker(3284) deny file-read-data /Users/jchadwickwilliams/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Contents/PkgInfo
    11/12/13 8:47:57.000 AM kernel[0]: Sandbox: mdworker(3284) deny file-read-data /Users/jchadwickwilliams/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Contents/PkgInfo
    the final line of text that stopped this repeated text was:
    11/12/13 8:48:31.961 AM WindowServer[125]: disable_update_timeout: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "iPhoto" for over 1.00 seconds. Server has re-enabled them.
    Any ideas what any of this means?  I'm really at a loss with this data...looks like something in my iPhoto library is invalid?
    I know this next question shouldn't be in the iPhoto section, but perhaps it is related somehow. 
    I don't recall what I was doing at the time, but one minute prior to the iPhoto messages, I noted these messages alternatiing over 60 times:

    It seems I've got some major issues.  A point in the right direction would be GREATLY appreciated.

    OOOKKKAAAY, I exported a slideshow this afternoon (about 800 photos) and as has been the case for a couple years, it took forever....the second half of the exoprt had no preview screen, just a black box.  It must have taken 2 hours.
    I just looked at Console and found a MOUNTAIN of errors.  One thing I noticed about the exported slideshow is that some of my preferences for individual slides were not maintained and the show went on as if I didn't edit/alter the overall theme of the slideshow.  I went back and personalized each slide setting again to find they sometimes worked in preview mode, but then when I returned, my preference for the slides were missing.  FRUSTRATING.  And so are those obscenely replicating Console messges...I'll throw out a few that have taken over my screen real estate:

    I'm getting denied a lot on my own system.  And it seems my system doesn't have sufficient ability to handle the workload as I see I'm using, "too many resources after 2048 files". 
    I think I'm going to try to rebuild my entire database.  What have I got to lose?  iPhoto worked FAR BETTER as a guest user.  Does htis mean I should toss my plist files? 
    And as always...computer connoisseurs, child prodigies, insightful sages, and holy healers are all encouraged to respond (as is anyone else with mindful advice, I'm not that picky).
    Thanks for throwing me a life-line,

  • HT1926 I was prompted to install iTunes 11.1.4 this morning. It failed (first time EVER) with the comment that 'msvcr80.dll' was not available. Upon searching for that .dll in my computer, I found it to be all over the place! Thoughts?

    I've NEVER had a version update fail. I did go to 'Tools' and download for a manual install of this update as the info screen suggested. It, too, failed. After searching for the 'missing' msvcr80.dll on my computer, I found it all over the place!
    Ran a malware & virus scan with nothing evil popping up.
    Tried going back to a restore point before a previous update and doing the install. It failed.
    OS: Vista Home Premium x64, SP2 (and current with all MS updates)
    Now I'm pretty nervous re: syncing with ANYTHING-especially my iPod that has all my music I teach from at work.

    Solving the iTunes Installation Problems in Windows
    1. Apple has posted their solution here: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows- Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue.
    2. If the Apple article does not fully resolve the problem for you, then try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - MSVCR80.

  • HT1923 Tried to do an itunes upate and found this message program cant shut because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer  now says I should reinstall itunes, do I need to do an uninstall first

    Using Windows 7, I attempted to install an update for Itunes, when i returned to computer it gave this message ....Program cannot shut because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. When I tried to open itunes it told me becuase of this error I needed to reinstall Itunes, my question is do I need to uninstall first before installing and will I lose contents of my library if I uninstall?

    Hey Dianna Walker,
    Thanks for the question. Yes, you'll want to completely remove iTunes and all related components (it is important to remove all components in the order listed):

  • Computer hangs on log-off

    When I log off, the computer hangs on the splash scree--the screen picture that is behind the log on dialogue box-- and needs to be manually shut down. The box to log back in does not appear.

    Hi William,
    my PBG4 shows similar behaviour at about half of my logg-offs / shut down / restart.
    I have tried nearly every kind of diagnosis and repair tools (RAM, HD, file system, rights, extensions, different accounts ...) with no result. I doubt if log files would provide useful information after a forced power down because cached information may not have been flushed to disk and log files not been closed properly.
    I have been following similar discussions from time to time but never found a durable solution.
    The only hint I picked up was the following workaround:
    Have the dock showing up while logging off.
    (set permanently visible in dock preferences or unhide dock by mouse just before confirming log-off via return key)
    I know it sounds strange - but it works for me!
    Since I follow this advice (and don't fail to invoke the dock) there are NO more hangings during log-off / shut down / restart.
    The root cause must be something about a hanging process but I have no knowledge about BSD and other things behind the Mac OS X Aqua interface.
    Sorry, it's no real solution, only a workaround but could you try if this also helps on your computer?

  • 10.5.2: Two finger scrolling makes computer hang unrecoverably

    I installed 10.5.2 on my MacBook Pro as soon as it became available a couple of weeks ago. Since then the computer hangs unrecoverably, on average, probably a couple of times per day. Is there anyone else out there who is encountering the same problem? Very frustrating since any on-going work that I have not saved will probably be lost!! (although this actually did not happen in practice yet).
    Here are some details:
    What happens exactly?
    The cursor freezes and can no longer be moved. And the computer does not respond to any other command that I know of - except an ungraceful hardware shutdown (i.e. pressing the power button for three seconds). So that's the only escape.
    When does it happen?
    So-far it has probably only happened while using Safari. And probably only while scrolling - by moving two fingers on the trackpad. But the reason why it happens then might be linked to the fact that this is an operation that I do a lot.
    Suspicion:
    I suspect that the hanging is related to two finger scrolling rather than Safari since I have noticed another strange behaviour while scrolling; Once in a while the scrolling does not quite work as it should and I am taken very quickly (as in momentarily) to another part of the page where I am scrolling. These "scroll jumps" (that are quite confusing since I lose my orientation on the page and have to go search for the place where I was reading) happen when I press my fingers very lightly towards the trackpad as in barely touching at all. (I can intentionally reproduce the behaviour.) It is my hunch that the two phenomena have the same cause - so that the light touching sometimes causes a hang rather than a "scroll jump".
    Any help towards solving this problem would be very appreciated! It's not very Mac like that the computer "crashes" a couple of times per day...

    As it turns out the reset of the PRAM did not help. My computer just hang again a moment ago in the same way. And I was forced to do power-off/on reboot again as usual. This time I had unsaved work. But thankfully my Mac was bright enough to save this(!) (My unsaved textedit file emerged effortlessly as soon as I opened the textedit application. And my unsaved e-mail draft could be found in the "drafts" folder exactly as I was hoping.)
    I will go ahead now and try cleaning up my user and system cache files as suggested to me here:

    Anything else I could try?

  • The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship

    When I try to log on to my DC it says "The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship". It won't let me log on. I installed another server server 2012r2  (its virtual )
    and I can get to ADSI edit. 
    I think what happened was I had a pc that could not connect without unplugging the network cable. So I found this fix 
    FIX: “The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship”2032011
    I’ve seen a lot of solutions, or suggestions rather, with regard to the error in the title of this post.  In my experience, the problem can almost always be resolved without extra domain add/removes and reboots, which is the most prevalent solution I have
    seen around.  Usually, this issue is due to a mismatch between attributes of the computer account in Active Directory and those values on the system itself.  Here are the steps I take to fix this issue when it crops up:
    Open up Active Directory Users & Computers pointed to the domain the computer account resides in
    From the “View” pull-down menu, make sure that “Advanced Features” is checked
    Navigate to the part of your organizational unit (OU) structure where the computer account for this server resides
    Open the Properties for the computer object
    Choose the “Attribute Editor” tab on the Properties dialog box
    Check the Attributes dNSHostName & servicePrincipalName – anywhere that a fully qualified hostname is specified (e.g. myserver.mydomainname.com), make sure that the entry matches the hostname
    you have configured when you go here on your server: Start -> Computer -> Right-Click, Properties -> Change Settings (under “Computer name, domain… settings”) -> Full Computer Name
    As an example, for a fictitious W2K8 R2 server whose Full Computer Name is “srv1.mydomainname.com”, these attribute/value pairs should be in Active Directory:
    dNSHostName:
    srv1.mydomainname.com
    servicePrincipalName:
    HOST/SRV1
    HOST/srv1.mydomainname.com
    RestrictedKrbHost/SRV1
    RestrictedKrbHost/srv1.mydomainname.com
    TERMSRV/SRV1
    TERMSRV/srv1.mydomainname.com"
    Not reading it carefully I add a computer with the same name as the pc having the issue and followed the above. The problem is that I did not notice that the spn did not want the name of my server (serv1) but the name of the trouble
    pc.

  • How can I manually update Firefox? Auto updates fail and end up making my computer hang for 10 minutes on startup.

    Firefox, after starting up my computer, fails the autoupdate every day. It leaves my computer hanging much longer than I would enjoy. I would like to know how I can manually update firefox and/or prevent future issues.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 3.6.2 or a little before.

    BUT I CAN'T UPDATE TO BEGIN WITH

  • HP P7-1240 Computer hangs while starting

    My computer hangs when starting. I get a black screen with nothing happening. If I press control-alt-del the task manager window that opens shows a few things n processes but no activity. After awhile the system seems to free itself and processes start to be added and the computer starts. I'd like to skip the hanging.  Any ideas?

  • Computer hangs on AC Power loss on Docking station (Z61p)

    I have a problem that the computer hangs if IU disconnect the power to my docking station similar to:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69370
    Is this a known problem for the Z-series? Any solution?

    Quote
    Restore after AC Power Loss
    This item specifies whether your system will reboot after a power failure or interrupt
    occurs. Settings are:
    [Power Off] Always leaves the computer in the power off state.
    [Power On] Always leaves the computer in the power on state.
    [Last State] Restore the system to the status before power failure or interrupt
    occurred.
    If you have this properly configured as you indicate in your post, try a full cmos clear and set it back and to re-test.
    If that is of no help, what bios version do you have installed?

  • Private Browsing feature does not respond when clicked. error msg is found in error console for PB under "tools" what happened?

    This is the msg found in error console under the "tools" drop down box: line 42 and it gives a link to a file on my hard drive the file is labeled: nsSessionStartup.js
    Basically what happens is this: When I click on "start private browsing" nothing happens. It used to popup a notification telling me about PB and then it would sh0w (private browsing) in the top window bar. now... nothing. what happened?

    Are you sure that you don't have Private Browsing enabled when Firefox is opened? <br />
    Tools > Options > Privacy = '''Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session'''
    With that setting selected there is no (Private Browsing) showing in the Title bar.

  • MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.5 Computer hangs after about 5 minutes

    After about 5 minutes of use, the multi-colored ball shows up and the computer hangs.  It keeps coming and going after the initial 5 minutes of use.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • "This computer cannot install this software"

    Ok, so heres the deal. I decided to wipe my hd and reinstall os x. No problem except that now I am told by the machine that I cannot install from my OEM disk at all.

    I'm having the same issue. I have a MacBook Pro Core Duo and I'm trying to do an erase and install. (Inherited the comp at work from another guy who's got way too much junk on it to cleanup manually). I'm getting the same cryptic error message when I try to do an erase and install from the Boot CD. I am using the boot cd that I received when I bought my core duo iMac Feb 2006. I think I have the boot cd's at work that came with this computer.
    I guess my question is this: how can you verify if the boot disc is the one for that certain hardware configuration of your current computer (or is that even the issue)?
    I found this page on apple's support pages: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106693
    And from that page is this excerpt:
    "Troubleshooting tip: If you see a message that you cannot install Mac OS X on this computer, even though it should work with Mac OS X, you may need to install a firmware update. Restart your computer from the hard drive and install the latest firmware available for your computer."
    That made sense, so I checked the firmware update pages, and there isn't a new update for this macbook pro. I'm completely at a loss as what to do at this point. Any help would be awesome

  • Computer Hangs with 5G iPod in Dock!!

    Has anyone else experienced this... and if there is a work-around. If I leave my new iPod in the universal dock attached to my MacPro 3GHz the computer hangs and makes a strange buzzing sound through my speakers. If i remove the iPod the machines starts up as normal and the buzzing sound instantly stop. As soon as the desktop is up and can re-dock my iPod and it works perfectly with iTunes....
    I would just like to leave it docked to my computer... but I'm worried with the hanging and buzzing sounds that I may be causing some damage.... any comments or suggestions most welcome.
    Yours sincerely,
