Keep getting invalid destination port message every 30 sec in Console

Hi, this is my first post so be easy on me. I have been checking up on a possible attack on my website and looking for things that may have caused visits/dowloads to blow out. 
While do this I looked at my Console app on my iMac 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.6.8 and notice that every 30 seconds there is a dual message:
6/09/11 4:39:38 PM imagent[161] Unable to create APS daemon connection: (ipc/send) invalid destination port
6/08/11 4;39:38 PM imagent[161] Unable to set enabled topics: (ipc/send) invalid destination port
This action then repeats itself every 30 seconds non stop. Every now and then the odd "normal" error will appear with various apps but this is constant.
The bottom of the Console window reads 4001 messages from 5/09/11 12:30:21 tp 6/09/11 4:57:08 PM
I have looked on the web to try and find out what the 161 refers to and what meaning of the phrases are, but none address 161 specifically and most seem to be in foreign languages.
Your help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks for that. I had a look at Facetime and had vitually forgottten about it having never used it. I tired about 8 months ago and coould never log in. All I ever got was the spinning wheel at log in, which is exactly what I have just got know as I tried to open it again.
I am wondering if it has been going throogh this process ever since.
Anyway I looked into the ~/Library/LaunchAgents and the nearest I can find are com.apple.apsd-ft.plist, com.apple.FTMonitor.plist, which may relate to Facetime and then there is com.apple.imagent.plist
which is the one that seems to be causing the problem.
Now when I read your reply and did the search using your parameters and the very first reply said that:
"As you probably know, you can get FaceTime invitations even if you have quit FaceTime. That feature is provided by "imagent".
Unless you have configured the FaceTime > Preferences... > FaceTimesetting to "OFF", you are still using "imagent" (and a couple of other support processes) even if you have "Quit" Facetime.
Once you set the preference to "OFF", imagent will go away, but you will not be able to receive any incoming FaceTime invitations until it is turned ON again."
Well as I can't log into Facetime I can't get to Preferences, to turn it off.  Now bear in mind I am new to this type of thing, but I have heard some people say that you can throw plist's in the trash and that the application regenerates a new problem free version.
Is this what you suggest I do and if so which of the above three would be the one(s) to delete?
And thank you very much for the very quick reply, much appreciated
Matt

    Many thanks in advance.

    I've had this problem for awhile in Windows XP SP3. Last night, the simplest thing occurred to me...here's what I did (and I'm telling because it worked).
    1. Clicked on Start
    2. Clicked on Control Panel
    3. Chose Add/Remove Programs
    4. Found Apple Software Updater and clicked Remove, then responded Yes
    5. Went to apple.com and clicked on Support, and then Downloads
    6. Downloaded the latest version of Safari ONLY
    7. Installed Safari (knowing it would install the latest version of Apple Software Update)
    8. AFTER the installation was complete, I clicked again on Start, then All Programs
    9. then, clicked on Apple Software Update

    $450 and three weeks and I still can't install this or get anyone at Adobe on a phone to help. Needless to say Staples does not take returns for opened software.

    Hi Suzanne,
    I apologize for the trouble! What happens when you try to install Acrobat? Are you using a MAC or Win?
    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

  • HT2736 Trying to redeem an iTunes gift card. Keep getting invalid code message. It has 14 digit code. Anyideas?

    Trying to redeem an iTunes gift card. I keep getting invalid code message. It has 14 digits. Is this a problem?

    This article should help:
    iTunes Store: Invalid, inactive, or illegible codes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292
    If you still can't redeem your card, then you should contact iTunes Store Customer Support via http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ and provide the serial number on the back of your gift card. The article above shows you how to locate the serial number.

  • Mac book pro (2008)will not start up,command-v gives (error) Import:Importer start failed for 89(kr:268435459)invalid destination port)

    will not start up.
    tried Command-v
    message reads
    (error) Import:Importer start failed for 89 (kr:268435459)invalid destination port)

    First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application.
    Step 1
    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.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • When I try to download new apps I keep getting in aid URL message?

    When I go on apples app site, I can get some of the pages to come up, but when I try to get more info on an app or to order one I keep getting "invalid URL" messages. What should I do?l

    This ipad2 was going to be used in a n office as a kiosk computer so slot of functions had been turned off and the apple store was missing from the desktop (I guess it had been removed). Now it isn't going to be used in that office so I would like to get the apple store and other apps back on it. I got the 'invalid URL messages' when I was on safari and on the apple store site using safari browser to be on it.

  • I am trying to activate my iphone 4 via my itunes but i keep getting the error (1) message at the end of restoring.  Any suggestions?

    I am trying to activate my iPhone 4 via iTunes but i keep getting the error (1) message at the end of the restore.  I believe my iphone has to be in DFU mode but i already tried that and same thing.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    The error is just a simple error message just like (1013) instead it says (1).  The iPhone I am trying to activate has been activated before I just currently have no service and I think that activating it will solve the problem.  I just can't restore through iTunes because it won't finish. I get the message every time I try to restore.

    I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

    Yes, I had found a similar solution also.  I'm running XP Pro, SP3.  I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair.  Then run the 10.5 exe.
    While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess.  Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes.  Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing.  I haven't begun to work on that.

    Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
    If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

    after unlocking over the phone from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this .
    Itunes displays a message saying "there is no SIM installed in the phone you're trying to activate" even if there is the same SIM that was working minutes before.
    The SIM works on a different phone I tested it.

    “Could Not Activate EDGE” error message Update ...
    Well it’s going on day 6 and still sporadic to no EDGE on my iPhone. At one time, it was thought to be a defective iPhone – since my partner’s iPhone works just fine.
    After over three hours on the land line with AT&T and Apple, I was sent to the local Apple store for a replacement. Of course, as soon as I walked into the Apple store my iPhone worked just fine. ;-( The local store replaced my iPhone and suggested I go home and activate the phone as a NEW iPhone, that way if there was a bug in my data it would not carry over to the new phone. Did that and well… still sporadic to no EDGE. By the way, I have the Big White “E” to the right of the 5 bars and AT&T .
    AT&T said last week they has “Software” issues in my area, but the CSR I talked to did not know what the issues were or if they were the cause of my problems. He did say they would call me back today to see how my iPhone was doing, but alas, no call back.
    When I’m next to my partner, trying to access the same feature, his iPhone is just so fast. Mine hangs up, draws out and finally I get the error message, “Could Not Activate EDGE”. I am updated to version “1.1.4(4A102)”. New (refurbished) iPhone direct from Apple.
    I remember reading a while back about some problems others had when they upgraded to from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4. I never had those problems, but it sure looks like they may have started. Does anyone remember what the problems with 1.1.4 were, what was done if anything to correct them, and best of all any suggestions?
    By the way, this is Seattle, not some small – out of the way place where connection and signal strength is expected to be second rate. Also, I had full function of my iPhone from the day I bought it in June 2007, all the way up to Thursday March 20, at 2120.
    Thanks

    I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password"  This started after they did the change to Icloud and extended our subcriptions.

    I guess that the server name is incorrect, then.
    Did it ever work?
    Delete the account, reboot the phone, then add it back and be sure you choose Yahoo as the mail server type. Everthing should then fill in automatically except your user name and password.
