Console reports out-of-control activity- How do I stop it?

Console is reporting the following activity about every 10 seconds:
"May 3 17:26:11 macintosh com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[1143] (cn.com.zte.usbswapper.plist[21903]): posix_spawn("/Applications/Vodafone Mobile Connect/Vodafone Mobile Connect.app/Contents/Resources/Specific/MacSwapperDemon.app/Contents/MacOS/MacSwapperDemon", ...): No such file or directory"
this is then followed by:
"macintosh com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[1143] (cn.com.zte.usbswapper.plist[21946]): Exited with exit code: 1"
and then:
"macintosh com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[1143] (cn.com.zte.usbswapper.plist): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds"
I think I know what this is. Last month I was out of the country staying with friends and my friend gave me a Vodafone USB to use for connecting to the internet.
This Vodafone USB thing required me to install some software, which I did.
Later I deleted everything Vodafone but this thing seems to be still lurking.
The only Vodafone thing I can find anywhere on my HD is a modem script called Vodafone VC701SI.ccl.
Is that what's causing this activity?

Meanwhile I have isolated the rogue process to here:
cn.com.zte.usbswapper.plist
within that file (which I opened with TextEdit) there is the following (note all the Vodafone stuff):
START OF PASTE

END OF PASTE
So, you clever Unix-savvy guys and gals: how do I get rid of the Vodafone stuff?

Msn keeps loading after I sign out of hotmail. How do I stop this happening

Every time I sign out of my Hotmail account MSN loads it's news page or front page. How do I stop this happening. I want to go direct to my home page (google) immediately after I sign out of Hotmail

hello, yes that's the deafult option of the script - you can also change the page that will be shown at logout manually. go to firefox/tools > addons > user scripts & click "options" next to the "no msn..." script, then select "edit this user script". the first time greasemonkey will ask you to specify an editor - the easiest way is to navigate to C:\Windows\ & select notepad.exe. instead of www.hotmail.com you can then specify any custom page and save the file afterwards...

Since downloading IOS 5 Itunes keeps randomly opening up and popping up on my desktop screen, not just when I turn on computer but randomly even though I sign out of itunes. How can I stop this from happning

After installing ios5, itunes randomly opens up on my desktop on my laptop computer. Not just when I start my computer but when I'm on it. itunes just opens. I've searched settings in itunes and my desktop and don't know where to go to stop this from happening. itunes will just open. I've rebooted laptop and tried signing out of itunes and it still happens. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this stop??

While it is clearly the wifi syncing that is causing it, the device almost never shows up in the device list, and I've already unchecked that box. I have two devices that I'd love to wifi sync, but neither show up today on the device list, despite iTunes continually popping up every 5 minutes or so. Buggy...

How do I stop someone setting up a duplicate administrative account (hackmac)?

My child has learned how to set up a second administrative account to bypass parental controls. How do I stop this?

You are facing a "teachable moment".
/** Begin insufferable "Knowing Dad" lecture. **/
I set up these controls to protect you from dangerous stuff on the Internet.
Teen, what you have done is not RIGHT, and that alone is enough reason to not do this. If you insist on cheating to bypass what I have set up, it damages TRUST, and means I will have to institute even more strict controls on your use of the computer. And now I do not trust you to "do the right thing" in this case or in other cases.
It will take weeks to months of perfect trustworthy behavior to undo the deceitful actions you have just taken.
I need and want to be able to trust you, and your behavior in doing things you know are not right, undermines that trust and in the long run, does not lead to more independence and better outcomes.
This WILL influence my willingness to trust you in other areas, and give you additional priviledges as well.

How do I to fix 2 Console reported errors in Mac OS 10.4.11

When I start up my old G4 with OS 10.4.11, its Console reports
2 errors, as shown on the screen shot below
There are many "plists", so I do not know which one needs correcting.
In my System I located "/en" here:
"~System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation,Framework/[symbol with a number unerneath}/Languages/en"
I recently had to to replace my high-speed Siemens DNS unit when it failed to power on. My service provider
replaced it with a newer faster model which bears only the srvice provider's name (Telus), it is supposed to be
much faster and there was no charge for the replacement. It seems to work fine to send stuff to my G4 and
MacBookAir., I do not know what "WIde Area Service Discovery" is, or how to fix that. The DNS relay number
appears to be my computers address, I substituted some xxx's to safeguard this address.in this post.

Re: What exactly solved my problems:
Thanks to your earlier reply citing even earlier discussions on thr same subject,
I followed the lead given in that post going to doug pennington
reply to jbtcat and looking at the websites mentionrd in these discussions, it was
all there, it informed me where to find the plists, why not to worry about
the WAN problem on my DNS unit ( I do not use a Wide Area Network), etc.
I tried to be brief in my reply..

Hi,
Generally, SAP makes that the down payments are always updated in CO. To maintain the default cost elements, you could use OKEP transaction. However, it's possible to deactivate this function by implementing note 388843.

When I try to drag and drop to combine events in iPhoto, the drag accelerates out of control when it reaches the top or bottom of the screen. How can I slow it down?

from iphoto Help
Album overview
A photo album in iPhoto is just like one you would create with printed photos: It’s a collection of photos you select from your library and arrange in the order you want.
You can create photo albums to:
Focus on a particular subject, such as your favorite nature photos
Group pictures that you want to send to a friend, post on a webpage, or burn to a CD or DVD
Gather a decade of anniversary photos
iPhoto has two kinds of photo albums:
Standard photo albums: You create these albums (B, shown below) by selecting particular photos. You can add new photos by dragging them to the album (or using the Add To button), and you can remove photos at any time. All adding and removing is done manually; iPhoto doesn’t update standard albums automatically as you import new photos.
Smart Albums: iPhoto creates these albums for you, based on criteria your specify. iPhoto then updates Smart Albums (A, shown above) for you as your library changes. For example, you could create a Smart Album containing:
Photos of specific people, such as your family members. As you import new photos, iPhoto uses Faces to detect your family members, and automatically adds new photos of them to the Smart Album (after you’ve confirmed the matches in Faces).
All the photos of your daughter taken on school field trips in third grade. Use Faces (to name your daughter) and keywords (to mark certain photos or events as “field trips”) to help specify the photos you want iPhoto to place in that Smart Album.
Only photos taken with a specific camera, or photos matching other Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) information.
You can make as many albums as you like, and you can include the same photo in several albums without making multiple copies of it.
After you create an album, such as “Australia Adventures,” it appears in your Source list below Albums.
In full-screen view, the album appears as a stack of photos below Albums.
To further organize your library, you can group several albums (along with slideshows and projects) into a folder. For example, you could create a folder containing several years of birthday albums or a collection of albums with photos of your camping trips.
To create a folder, see “Create a folder in the Source list and move items into it” in “Customize the Source list”.
Folders appear only in the Source list, not in full-screen view.
Note: A photo album is different from a photo book, which is a collection of photos you create to get professionally printed and bound. See this topic: Photo book overview.

Big memory leak in Snow Leopard? Active memory out of control!

I just restarted my computer about 40 minutes ago to solve this problem once and my active memory is already out of control. Activity monitor says there's over 5.2 GB of active memory, but looking at the process list there's not nearly that much. I'll add a link to a screenshot of my activity monitor. I have run absolutely nothing that is not in the list currently. Any idea what's going on?
http://i.imgur.com/DGUcf.png

Well, thanks for your concern, but I won't miss you if you don't post another reply.
I did some watching and I have a little more info. I kept activity monitor open and kept an eye on it after another reboot. The apps I had open were: FCP, Compressor, Safari (open to gmail in the background and this thread in another tab), and iTunes. Nothing else.
At some point, without me doing anything specific to prompt it, the active memory (yellow) jumped from ~1.3GB all the way up to ~5.5 in the span of about 5 or 6 seconds. When I say I didn't do anything, I mean I happened to be doing something on my phone when I noticed it. I suspect it has something to do with Safari, but even when I shut every program down, the active memory stays at around 5-5.5 GB. The only thing I can do to get it down is to reboot.

How to Save Background job report out put in local / Network Drive?

Hello Techies,
How to Save Background job report out put in local / Network Drive.
Actually we have option to send mail aftr complete but i need to save in local drive or network drive .

Hi ,
Background job runs in application server , and your local /network drive is basically presentation server. So you cant save it in local /network drive from the job itself. But to download files, you can write the files to the application server using DATASET, in the background and then use the transaction CG3Y in the foreground to download the file.

How do I stop the console from reporting errors on an application I have already deleted?

Hi, I'm somewhat new at using macbook pros. My macbook pro runs snow leoperd 10.6.8. I just recently learned that console is a good way to check on what your computer is doing so i went in checked on it. I noticed that a program i recently deleted called teamviewer was logged A TON. There had to have been thousands of logs. I had thought that I completely removed this application but it is constantly logging logs that look like this:
3/4/13 9:17:04 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[96] (com.teamviewer.desktop) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
3/4/13 9:17:13 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.teamviewer.service[4124]) Bug: launchd_core_logic.c:4194 (24498):2
3/4/13 9:17:13 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.teamviewer.service[4124]) posix_spawn("/Applications/TeamViewer 7/TeamViewer.app/Contents/Resources/TeamViewer_Service", ...): No such file or directory
3/4/13 9:17:13 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.teamviewer.service[4124]) Exited with exit code: 1
3/4/13 9:17:13 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.teamviewer.service) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
I would like to stop my macbook pro from doing whatever it is doing but I can't really understand technical talk so I have no idea what to do. How do I stop my computer from doing whatever this is and completely delete teamviewer off of my computer?

Sounds like you deleted the TeamViewer application, but did not uninstall the software, using whatever uninstaller is provided.
In this case, it looks like you still have a LaunchAgent installed. In the Finder, choose Go -> Go to Folder and enter the following path:
~/Library/LaunchAgents
In that folder, delete anything that has TeamViewer in the name. If you don't see anything there, try looking in this folder instead:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
After deleting from either of those locations, restart your computer.

How to create Reports out of Individual Views from Discoverer

Hi Gurus,
I am doing a a POC where i need to bring in couple of views which are reports in Discoverer inside OBIEE 11g and create reports out of it.
In OBIEE i dont need to join anything as these are standalone views i just need to use them to create individual reports. But it seems in OBIEE you cannot do that, you will need to join and create keys in each and every tables(which are views in the DB).
Is there any way i can import the views from DB or create the views in OBIEE 11g and use them to create reports.
Thanks,
Amit

Hi Amit,
Yes you can create opaque views in OBIEE 11G at repository level and deploy them.
