I had something called backupd-helper cancel my log out last night.  I was wondering it this is spyware?  Can anyone help?

This morning I had a information window that read "The application backupd-helper cancled logout.  To try again, quit backupd-helper and choose log out form the Apple menu."  I look for this app on my dock, but it was not there.  I used spot light to try to find it but it did not show up.  I checked in my applications folder and utilities folder, but again no luck.  Finally I used Activity Monitor and there it was, but as soon as I "inspected" it the process terminated and disappeared.  It's parent app is Launchd.  Any information would be very helpful, thanks.

This is part of Time Machine. It is a daemon helper, part of the backup process.
It is not spyware.

  • I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature:   Problem Event Name:APPCRASH   Application Name:lightroom.exe   Application Version:3.4.1.10

    First thing to try is the latest version of Lightroom (currently 5.6). If it don't crash, then problem solved - upgrade.
    If Lr5 won't run on your machine, then Lr4 instead.
    If both Lr5 and Lr4 crash on your machine, then at least you know it's a not a Lightroom version problem but something wonked in your system.
    If you can't figure out how to resolve the crash on the system you have, then it's time for a new system (or try another converter/editor app).
    PS - A few things to try:
    * After re-installing new version, if that doesn't fix it, then get rid of all Lightroom-related data files (rename them so they can be restored), in case problem is in Lr data file.
    * Remove all non-essential hardware in case problem is hardware/driver.
    * Startup up machine with minimal software services.
    * If still no go, consider updating driver software, including mainboard drivers and/or bios firmware if need be.
    * Of course run all the system hardware and software diagnostics you can - problem could be failing disk or ram..
    * Check system event logs for any clues.
    If you don't know how to do some of these things - ask.
    Do not say "you've tried everything" unless you want a lecture - there is most definitely something you haven't tried. It's like when you can't find your car keys - you haven't looked everywhere -  there is somewhere you haven't looked!
    PS - Has Lightroom EVER worked on your machine? what's changed since then..
    Good luck,

  • I gifted a ringtone to my sister that I purchased from the iTunes store, and it is on her phone, but we can't figure out how to get it moved to her ringtones.  Can anyone help?

    I gifted a ringtone to my sister that I purchased from the iTunes store, and it is on her phone, but we can't figure out how to get it moved to her ringtones.  Can anyone help?

    Edit > Preferences.  Select the check box for Ringtones, this will add them to the listing in iTunes. 
    Not sure that really answers your question though.

  • When I start iTunes I get the following message. "A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-42404)" I have installed the latest version of iTunes but still get this message. Can anyone help.

    Hello mustangcim243,
    iTunes has various components bundled with it that it requires for general usage. I advise that we completely remove iTunes and all of these related components, verify that they have been removed, then reinstall. To do so, please follow the steps in this article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Note: it is important to remove the 7 components in order. Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, I recommend we reset the SC Info folder:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    (See Step 4: Remove the SC Info folder)
    Thanks,

  • My Game Center account won't let me add friends on this device. Can anyone help please?

    My Game Center account won't let me add friends on this device. Can anyone help please?

    What's more, it's absolutely ridiculous that there's no direct way of contacting Apple about this. In fact, as far as Game Center is concerned, there's no support network at all.
    It's either sheer idiocy or arrogance in action, here. Products go wrong - even yours, Apple.

  • File must be saved as a copy of this selection? can anyone help?

    ok so im on ps cs4 and all is well, i have been saving files as .png all day long and suddenly it stops allowing me to save as jpg,png and others as well, "File must be saved as a copy of this selection" is the message i got at the bottom of the screen. Can anyone help solve this problem?

    Did you change the bit depth?  Did you add one or more layers?  Did you add one or more channels?
    Whenever there's something in the image that cannot be stored because of a limitation of the output format (e.g., multiple layers or 16 bit per channel color and Save-As JPEG), Save As Copy will be selected by default.

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • I would like to convert a matlab file into a .dll and use it in LabVIEW. However, when I run the .dll in LabVIEW I get an error stating "... Procedure not found". What could this be? Can anyone help me...

    I wish to convert my Matlab files into .dll's so that I can use them in LabVIEW. I am using 'mcc' and 'mbuild' of Matlab to convert my .m files into .c and .dll.
    When I try to run the .dll's in LabVIEW, I get an error message in a modal window stating some required .dll or procedure is not found.
    How should I resolve this issue. Should I add any other Matlab .dll's in course of making my .dll?
    Please help in solving this issue... Thankyou very much.
