How do I fix problem system launch daemons?

Hi there,
I recently upgraded to Yosemite and immediately my Wired memory started taking over my RAM. I'm down to a crawl and have spent days trying to figure out what's going on. I've repaired the drive and reinstalled twice, etc. I did find through EtraCheck that I had failed problem system launch daemons. Could those be my problem? If so, what do I do to fix them?
Here's the EtreCheck info:

Problem System Launch Daemons

I ran EtreCheck and found the following problem:
Problem System Launch Daemons:
[failed] com.apple.AOSNotificationOSX.plist
[failed] com.apple.wdhelper.plist
How can I fix it? I couldn't find these files in the ~/Library.

Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. One backup is not enough to be safe. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with Disk Utility. Preferably both.
Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all data on the startup volume, so you had be better be sure of the backups. If you upgraded from an older version of OS X, you'll need the Apple ID and password that you used, so make a note of those before you begin.
When you restart, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process in Setup Assistant. That’s when you transfer the data from a backup.
Select only users and Computer & Network Settings in the Setup Assistant dialog—not Applications or Other files and folders. Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled.
After that, run Software Update.
If the problem is resolved after the clean installation, reinstall third-party software selectively. I can only suggest general guidelines. Self-contained applications that install into the Applications folder by drag-and-drop or download from the App Store are usually safe. Anything that comes packaged as an installer or that prompts for an administrator password is suspect, and you must test thoroughly after reinstalling each such item to make sure you haven't restored the problem.
I strongly recommend that you never reinstall commercial "anti-virus" products or "utilities," nor any software that changes the user interface or modifies the functions of built-in applications. If you do that, the problem is likely to recur.
Before installing any software, ask yourself the question: "Am I sure I know how to uninstall this without having to wipe the volume again?" If the answer is "no," stop.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

Third party in my problem system launch daemons

I read in another post that if I had third party links in my problem system launch daemons section, then I had a problem. I have ftp-proxy.plist listed under that section. This is my etrecheck report.

Any Input? Thanks.

Symptom: You have a very large number of pageouts for having been up for only 2 days since your last boot. that averages out to 2 pageouts per minute, and since you most likely are not using your Mac 24/7, you most likely had some very high pageout rates while you were using your Mac.
A high pageout rate generally results in slow performance.
Why you have a high pageout rate is unknown, but you should look for memory hungry apps. Activity Monitor can help there.
Carbonite can add to your disk contention if it is doing backups while you are using your system. If it is doing backup during the middle of the night while you are sleeping, that is not an issue.
You could consider either running fewer memory hungry apps concurrently, or adding more RAM to your system (Crucial.com and MacSales.com are highly respected RAM vendors by this and other Mac related forums).
If you suspect 3rd party additions affecting your performance, you could boot in "Safe Mode" which will not load 3rd party stuff during boot and login. Boot holding the "Shift" key to enter Safe Mode.
You could also run 'sar -g' to monitor your pageout activity over time both in "Safe Mode" and booted normally
Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
sar -g 60 100
which will report your pageouts once a minute for 100 minutes (adjust the numbers to suit your tastes). Now use your system as you normally would, and go back and review the sar output when you notice you are experiencing performance issues. What you really want to see is mostly zeros, with an occasional blip of a few pageouts. Sustained pageouts or huge runs of high pageout numbers is an indication that you are using more RAM than you have available and should look for why, and if the app you are running really does need lots of RAM, then think about buying more.

Slow Mavericks and problem system launch daemons

Like some other users here I've experienced a big slowdown since installing Mavericks.
I ran EtreCheck (good app!) and I see that I have several failed Apple daemons. I don't know what they do but I guess this is not a good thing.
Can anybody shed any light on these failed daemons and what I can do to fix them? Are they likely to be part of the slow running problem?
cheers all!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the 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.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, andIdle at the bottom of the window.
Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. 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. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

hi, after I upgrade new iso 6.0.1 my ipad start shutting down by itself mail, Facebook, internet, mail, facebook is shutting down itself when I am using, how I can fix problem?
Thank you

Try this:
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

kapots3v4,
if your MacBook Pro doesn’t stay active long enough to perform an OS X Internet Recovery, then you should make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service provider to have them diagnose what’s ailing it.

How can I fix my system preferences so the system preferences window don't freeze up every time I open it?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix a System Prefrences problem? Every time I try to open system prefrences I get that little color wheel over the System Prefrences window, and I am not able to change any system prefrence options or click on any options in the window. It just freezes up. I have iOS Lion 10.7.4 version on a 2012 Macbook Pro i7. Right now my screen saver is just a blank blue color, and I am unable to set any other photo from my photo library to the hpome screen picture even without going throiugh system prefrnces. I have tried Disk Utility>Verify Disk Permissions, and that did not work. I have also tried Disk Utility>Permissions Repair, and that did not work either. Can anyone tell me another option to try because I am unable to open Time Machine to repair to an earlier date because that window freezes up also. Does anyone know any other options? This Macbook Has been doing this sort of thing since I took it out of the box brand new 4 months ago, but it fixted itself before the Macbook help coverage was expired so I never bothered to call Apple about it. Now it just freezes up and never works, I can't change my system time out I cant change any system prefrences on my Macbook Pro. It really ***** bad. Also another symptom my macbook has right before this problem accours is my screen saver on my computer will automatically be swithched to that Galaxy screen saver all the sudden when I turn my computer on then when I go to change the screen save back to a picture I had on my computer the system prefrences just freeze up. Please let me know if you know what I can do. Thanks.
Also I am Unable to open Dock Preferences and i get the frozen screen color wheel Just like on System Preferences.

Problems with Launch daemon

I'm having troubles getting a Launch Daemon to work. I have two that are almost identical and run to fix permissions on a pesky folder (it's a bandaid solution to a permissions problem). This launch daemon works perfectly:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>KeepAlive</key>
          <false/>
          <key>Label</key>
          <string>com.name.script1</string>
          <key>ProgramArguments</key>
          <array>
                    <string>chmod</string>
                    <string>-R</string>
                    <string>770</string>
                    <string>/Path/To/Folder</string>
          </array>
          <key>StartInterval</key>
          <integer>600</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
However, when the folder path contains a space, it doesn't appaer to work. This is my second Launch Daemon which is not working
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>KeepAlive</key>
          <false/>
          <key>Label</key>
          <string>com.name.script2</string>
          <key>ProgramArguments</key>
          <array>
                    <string>chmod</string>
                    <string>-R</string>
                    <string>770</string>
                    <string>/Path/To\ Folder/</string>
          </array>
          <key>StartInterval</key>
          <integer>600</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
I'm not sure if I'm missing proper syntax in the plist file in order to work with a folder with a name in it. At this point changing the folder name would cause all sorts of other issues.
Thanks for your help

I should not matter, but the 2nd has a trailing slash:
     <string>/Path/To/Folder</string>
   <string>/Path/To\ Folder/</string>

How can I fix problems with Bridge CS2 for Mac.

How can I upgrade Bridge CS2 version 1.0.0.545 to Bridge CS2 version 1.0.3. The Installer says that I have a newer version installed. I am running a special version Photoshop CS2. When I launch Bridge CS2 v.1.0.0.545, I get a window saying that "Sorry, a serious error has been detected." This software stays open after clicking the OK button. Please help!

Spent a long time on phone with Apple tech support on this. Here's what users all need to know: it's likely the car manufacturer who needs to upgrade the vehicle software. Pairing problems can happen whenever a phone is upgraded. Now to find a dealer that's open after work!

How can I fix problems after Lion OSX install?

Just a couple of weeks after installing Lion, I am now experienceing the following problems:
Tremendous slowdown in system use without any obvious reason
I can't upload videos directly from iMovie to YouTube. It completes the upload, but I never see the video on the YouTube site, even after several days!
I can't change my Desktop background. Whether I attempt from my pictures folder, or using System Preferences, after I highlight the picture I want to change to, nothing happens

Try reinstalling:
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Safe boot solves PowerPoint problem; how do I fix problem at source?

I was trying to display a slide show in MS Powerpoint 2011 on my MacBook Air, but PowerPoint crashed every time I tried to launch the slide show. I found a Microsoft support article, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/975723?linkId=11072873, that suggested booting my computer in Safe mode and seeing if PowerPoint worked then. In fact, it does!
My question is, what has Safe boot revealed about why PowerPoint crashes when I try to display a slide show? Is there a way to fix the problem that causes PowerPoint to crash so that I don't have to boot into Safe Mode every time I want to do a PowerPoint slide show?

Put the disk in the computer and restart while holding the C key down. You pretend you want to reinstall the OS and go through the first two steps, until the screen just after the language selectiion screen.
On this screen you will see a menu bar. Click Utilities in the menu bar, and select Disk Utility. When DU is up and running, do this:
In the list at the left, select your start up disk- the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
When the repair is completed, quit DU and restart the computer.

How can I fix: problem when making or receiving calls I must be on speaker, otherwise the person on the other end can't heAr me

When making or receiving phone calls I have to be on speaker for the other person to hear me. What can I do to fix this

Had the same problem when my dock connector of the iphone got wet. The phone thought that it was docked the whole time so the mic and speaker didn't work. The iPhone actually has 2 microphones. One is at the bottom by the dock connector (which is used for normal calls), and the other is a tiny whole at the top by the headphone jack, which is used for speakerphone. I would say that either the bottom mic needs replacing, or the dock connection is faulty or damaged and it is not able to use the bottom mic.
Best bet would be to get it to Apple who will normally fix this kind of thing without fuss. Hope that helps.

How can I fix Lion system font bugs?

I've recently updated to Snow Leopard to do an uptade to Lion. Already, once the Snow was installed the system font was altered to the one in the image at the botom. I thought installing Lion would do the trick and it would fix the bug, but it didn't. It's been impossible to find articles with the same topic.
I went to Genius and all the could tell me was to erase all my machine and start all over again. Yet, I want to get another input before.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Edit the source doucment, or install the exact font that you are missing.

How do I fix problems with iTunes Store timing out when I search for music?

So, I downloaded iOS 7 not too long ago. However, when I tried to do a search on the iTunes Store app, it keeps timing out (it also stalls when I attempt view a song list on a specific album. My phone has no cosmetic or liquid damage, and. I have already performed a soft reset on the phone. Does anybody have a solution, or is this just a bug in the new software that needs to be fixed?
