Database Daemon
Every time i turn on my MBP, a process called Database Daemon, or at least i think, starts up automatically. It is related to Entourage, as it has the same symbol, and it is a powerPC function, and uses a good amount of resources, so anyone know why it starts up every time, and what can i do to get rid of it.
Also, what does it even do?
4 ways to turn off Microsoft Database daemon:
1. In Entourage Menu select "Turn off Office Notifications"
2. Double-click the Office Notifications program, located in the Microsoft Office X/Office folder. On the Office Notifications menu, click Turn Off Office Notifications.
3. Fire up Activity Monitor, look for 'database daemon' and choose 'quit process' from the processes menu (just do a normal quit, not a forced quit).
4. Use this script

I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says. This application must be closed ETC..... I am running Parralell and I think it is there. The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent". How do I close these programs?
If the Office updates have to be run through Win in Parallels, there's not really a section here that covers that , because Neither Office or Parallels are Apple products. There is only a small chance that you'll find someone with BOTH your conditions who just happend to look into a forum on older iMacs.
Parallels has a forum here:

I think you'll get a faster response there. -

Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 (14.2.0) on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so. I have closed all applications. Can anyone help? Many thanks
Thanks Kurt! I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close. I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank. In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well. Thanks for your help!

How to quit Microsoft Database Daemon SyncServicesAgent?
I am attempting to update Microsoft Office, but when I download the update, I receive the message that I need to quit these applications:
-Microsoft Database Daemon
-SyncServicesAgent
I do not know how to quit these applications and they do not appear in the "Force Quit" menu. Suggestions?I share your frustration. Tried for 50 minutes straight to delete and they kept coming back. Today I tried again, following the instructions given to close in Activity Monitor. Clicked on 'Quit process' and confirmed only to see them pop up again, and this time 'quit process' was greyed out so I couldn't click it. Finally i tried the keyboard instructions given (alt -cmd - Q) and yeayy! **** things stopped long enough for me to install an update. Might just be coincidence but it worked for me

MS Database Daemon-Older Version Prevents MS Office from Launching
I just updated my MS Office, and i get an error message that it cannot be launched since an "older version of MS Database Daemon is still running". It instructs me to delete the older version from "startup items."
How do I go to Startup Items and delete the older daemon so the new one can launch?Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)
All your documents will be fine. -
MS Excel "Database Daemon" Running at Startup
Looking for some help.
I recently ran MS Excel for the first time on my Mac Mini Intel Core Duo. Since that time, each time I start up my mac the "Database Daemon" seems to be running in the background. I check the activity manager and it appears everytime.
Does anybody have any idea (1) what that is to being with and (2) how I can spot that from automatically running up boot?I had the same problem on a Mac Mini, the mini would not go to sleep and after hours with Apple tech support we discovered this program was in my account login items. Deleted it from the login items and everything was find. I had no problem with Excel, the Database Daemon will start when you run Excel.
I am not a expert at this however it worked on my Mac Mini and now on my iMac. Try apple support and see if they can give you some advice.
One note, it is not in my login items now and I just ran Excel before replying and the Database Daemon show up in my activity monitor. When I shut down Excel the Daemon stopped running.
Again look for other advice before using anyone source for information. -

Database daemon and SyncServicesAgent won't close during MS Office Update Install
While running Microsoft Office Updater I tried to close apps that were preventing the Installer from continuing. Two apps wouldn't close: Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent. Out of desperation rather than knowledge I ran the Disk Utility and repaired permissions. BINGO! the Installer closed the errant apps and completed its task. What is going on? I read the same advice repeatedly in this forum that repairing permissions is a waste of time. Clearly not in this case I think.
