SmartSleep Daemon trying to start in the background after uninstall.

Sorry I am a noob to the forum so excuse any formating requirements. I have a 17" MBP 2.4 running 10.5.3 and I am having trouble with the sleep control Smart Sleep. It is posting about 200 records an hour in Console. I have removed the SmartSleep icon in System Preferences as well as tried deleting it with AppDelete. I have restarted after each uninstall to no avail. Here is a copy of one of the entries in Console:
7/5/08 8:02:13 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (de.jinx.SmartSleepDaemon) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
7/5/08 8:02:23 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (de.jinx.SmartSleepDaemon[1378]) posix_spawn("/Library/PreferencePanes/SmartSleep.prefPane/Contents/Resources/de .jinx.SmartSleepDaemon", ...): No such file or directory
7/5/08 8:02:23 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (de.jinx.SmartSleepDaemon[1378]) Exited with exit code: 1
If anyone has any idea how to turn this off I would really appreciate it. I think it is causing OS X to freeze. Thank you very much.

something didn't get deleted. you need to look in several places.
1. your login items in system preferences->accounts
2. /Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchDaemons
3 ~/Library/LaunchAgents and ~/Library/Launchdaemons ~ means your home directory. dlete anything related to SmartSleep that you find.

  • Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer.  I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again.  What's up?

    When I started my iMac today, it started beeping like an alarm horn.  I shut it down, and held the startup button a little longer to get it to start.  Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer.  I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again.  What's up?  Am I screwed?  HELP!!

    What you are seeing is a kernel panic, often but not always connected with a hardware or peripheral issue, so, unplug everything except mouse and  keyboard, reboot and hold the shift key as soon as your hear the chime, continue holding it until you see the Apple Icon and spinning progress indicator, then post back.
    It will take noticeably longer than normal to start.

  • Trying to start up the manager process in a fresh installation

    Version 11.2.1.0.3
    Platform : RHEL 5.4
    To configure manager process in a machine (which is going to be a target server ), I downloaded GG installer from edelivery.
    Unzipped the installable in the desired location. Then I created a basic parameter file for the manager and tried to start up the manager process. But the manager process is not coming up.
    This is what I've done till now after the installation of GG (By installation , I mean Unzipping and Untarring)
    1. set the env variables for the database
    2. Created the parameter file for manager as shown below.
    $ ./ggsci
    Oracle GoldenGate Command Interpreter for Oracle

    Manager started.
    GGSCI (stryker179) 3> info mgr
    Manager is DOWN!I haven't created any gguser at DB level. But that is not a pre-requisite for manager process. Right ?
    -- Regarding the logging of GG's errors
    Wish I could check some logs to see what is causing this issue ?
    Where are the logs (.rpt files) stored ? I believe we have to manually create a directory called dirrpt.
    For , the fresh installation, the dirrpt directory was not created. Only the following directories were found after the installation (Untar)
    $ ls -alrdFt * | grep /
    drwxr-x--- 7 oracle oinstall      4096 Aug 24 07:06 UserExitExamples/
    drwxr-x--- 2 oracle oinstall      4096 Aug 24 07:33 cfg/
    drwxr-x--- 2 oracle oinstall      4096 Aug 24 07:33 dirprm/
    drwxr-x--- 2 oracle oinstall      4096 Aug 24 07:33 dirjar/

    Hi ,
    1. Did you execute CREATE SUBDIRS in GGSCI prompt?
    It will create all the required folders like dirprm,dirrpt,dirdef,dirsql,dirdat...etc
    Db level user is not required for starting the manager process, But you have to create mgr parameter file under dirprm folder , for that you have to execute ,
    GGSCI > EDIT PARAMS MGR
    in that file mention the PORT number , usually it will be 7809 ex, PORT 7809,
    then start the mgr in GGSCI
    GGSCI > START MGR
    again if you are getting MANAGER DOWN message then check the details in ggserr.log file which is available in GG home directory where you have unzipped the binaries .
    Hopefully this will help you

  • How to stop version check that happens in the background after timeout?

    Hi all,
    I have a problem that seriously makes my swing application (installed using webstart) very slow for some time.
    Steps to reproduce my problem :
    1. Deploy the jars of application in the web server running on Machine A( either in LAN or running on public IP).
    2. Download the application on Machine B using the link.
    3. Shutdown Machine A.
    4. Now try to start the application on Machine B. The starting of the application has become very slow.
    After some time(long enough) the application is started. Even now, the application is slow for first few minutes.

    My assumsion is
    When I start my application, version checking will happen. But the cache server system(machine A) is not available. Due to this initial slowdown has occurred.
    After the timeout has occured, my application has started. Since the version checking continuous in the background, my application is again slow.(Even when my application server and database system are in the same LAN of my client machine).
    This slowdown is certainly not desirable.
    This slowness isn't there when there Machine A( in which my webserver is installed) is running and my webserver (Tomcat 5.0 in my case) is not started.
    Is my assumsion is correct?
    If correct, how do I stop version checking process that happens in the background after initial timeout?
    I think update check and policy attribute may not help me as I wanted to stop this background version check altogether. Also, my java sersion is 1.5_0_14.
    Please help me out in this.
    Thanks in advance..,
    Chakri.

    My audio apps keep playing in the background after I answer a phone call. How do I turn this off?

    Hello BobWeaver,
    It sounds like we need to troubleshoot the software on your device as that is not expected behavior.
    I would perform steps 1, 3 and 5 from the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/. If you get to step 3, then I suggest closing all the apps. Here is step 1 to get you started:
    Restart iPhone
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Whenever I access my Hotmail inbox to open a new mail it starts reloading the mail after every second unless i switch it to full view?

    whenever I access my Hotmail inbox to open a new mail it starts reloading the mail after every second unless i switch it to full view. Kindly help me to solve this continuous problem.

    I confirm this is a known bug and Microsoft are working on a fix. They plan to fix this before Firefox 4 reaches release candidate phase.
    A workaround is to change a preference in Firefox:
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''html5.enable''' and double-click on it to change its value to '''false'''
    If you do this, remember to set the preference back to true by double-clicking on it again when Firefox 4 release candidate is made available, the bug should be fixed by then.

  • Imovie song does not start at the beginning after I edited the duration of the clip

    my imovie song does not start at the begining after I edited the duration of my clips. The audio clip now starts in the middle of the song. This is occuring with the second song in my video. How do I adjust the audio to start at the beginning of the song.

    For pop ups. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Select:  Block pop-up windows
    safari starts always with top page even I have apple.com as a starting window
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the General tab. You can reset your homepage from there.
    history its not saving or at least not showing when i press the thingy that looks like a little book on the tools bar
    That icon represents your Bookmarks not history.
    To view history, from your Safari menu bar click History > Show History
    Or Option + Command + 2 on your keyboard.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    I had the exact same issue; Lion recovery from Command + R would hang with the logs showing the same message.  To resolve, I used Disk Utility to remove the recovery partition.  My Air then used Internet Recovery to load all the tools.  When using Reinstall via Internet it worked just fine.

  • IMac starts in the background but all I see is a stalled spinning wheel

    Hi All,
    I'm hoping you can help me track down the problem with my Intel iMac (running Snow Leopard).
    Basically, when I try to start it up, the spinning wheel freezes after a few seconds AND then I hear the sound of Skype starting up in the background. However, I don't see anything except for the gray screen with the stalled spinning wheel and the Apple logo.
    It looks like the OS has started running in the background, however, it's not showing it on screen.
    I've tried to reinstall the OS, run it in Safe Mode, reset PRAM, HOWEVER, nothing works - i never get passed the gray screen and the stalled spinning wheel.
    Someone mentioned this might be due to corrupted/dead RAM chips...
    Hope you can help me!
    Thank you!!!
    e

    If you think there may be a hardware problem, run the Apple hardware test. Choose the extended test when prompted. You'll need your original OS X disks, and the test will take awhile to complete.
    You may have seen this Apple note on a gray screen at startup, as you've done some of the steps.

  • Random sounds in the background after 10.6.3 update

    I Updated to 10.6.3 and started hearing sounds like "calming water fall" in the background. I looked for background processes, and running widgets and I can not find any that would cause this. I deleted Adium, in case it was trying to notify me of something.
    It is nerve racking….
    Please help,
    Sonia

    I have the same problem. I found I can unplug the keyboard and when replugged, everything works OK.
    I just upgraded to OS V10.6.4 and still must unplug and replug the keyboard in order to type.
    WHY?

  • Emac tried to start then stopped, finally after 3 attempts it started

    After a hard drive failure i run my emac on an external hard drive through a fire wire.
    That worked OK till yesterday when it tried to start but after a few seconds of the normal fan noise and before the screen lit up, it stopped. I hit the switch again and it did the same thing 3 times but on the 4th attempt it started but a white screen came on and told me to type "mac-boot" and hit return.
    It finally started.
    The external hard drive was still running OK at the time it had stopped, it was internally that it had stopped.
    I took the back off the emac and vacuumed the dust from inside and after that it has since started normally every time though it seems slower to start, but I could be mistaken about that as I can't now remember noticing how long it took to start before.
    Someone said the problem could be the power supply failing.
    Is there any way for me to diagnose what exactly is wrong, since an emac power supply is not same as a PC power supply?
    Could a PC power supply be modified to replace the emac power supply as I have a failed PC with a good power supply I could use if it would work?
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Ann

    Hello and thanks for your reply.
    I neglected to mention that at the time of the hard disk failure I put a new hard disk inside too with the intention of using it as a back up to the External Hard Drive but I found it was easier in the end to get another external hard drive and now I use Time Machine to back up on to that 2nd external hard drive every few days.
    I disconnect the 2nd external hard drive when I'm not backing up data on to it.
    Most of the time when I boot up the emac it somehow knows to go straight to the 1st External Hard Drive instead of the Internal Hard Drive but occasionally it will go to the Internal Hard Drive and when it does that I have to go to System Preferences and then to Startup Disk and actually select the External Hard Drive icon and that's what I had to do every time when it was having that weird starting then stopping phase, ie, every time during the starting then stopping phase, when it did start it went to the Internal Hard Drive even after I would go into Startup Disk and select External Hard Drive it would start on the Internal Hard Drive, so in the end I didn't bother trying any more and I just connected to the internet through the Internal Hard Drive until I took the back off and vacuumed the dust out and ever since I did that it's been running normally, ie, it's always selecting the External Hard Drive again and running at what seems to be normal speed for everything too.
    I just don't know why it went into that starting then stopping phase.
    When it was in the starting then stopping phase the internal fan noise would stop but the little white light next to the DVD door would stay lit up so it was definitely getting some power from somewhere but it was failing to go on and boot up because the power to the internal fan had failed ie, I could clearly hear the fan stop only 3 or 4 seconds after hitting the start button.
    I've just had a look at the capacitors that you suggested and they look perfect, like new in fact, they have a shiny metallic top with a + indented in the top and they are flat and they show no sign of a dried up liquid or any bubbling up anywhere.
    Anyway, your reply was helpful since you ruled out the Power Supply and the capacitors, so thank you for those.
    The friend who advised me how to get going again after the initial hard disk failure, ie, via the External Hard Drive connected by fire wire, did warn me not to touch anything in the back that wasn't directly related to changing the hard drive but thanks for the heads up anyway.

  • Change characters in the background after upgrading BEX workbook

    Hi,
    I have just upgrade the Bex workbook from 3.5X to 7.0.  Functionally, it works fine.  However, one thing that irritates the end users is that when one opens the workbook, it immediately shows an Excel-sheet with change symbols, numbers and characters scattering from line 1 to 4 (like TRUE, FALSE, arrow-symbols etc).  Later on a variable screen pops up on top of this background.  The background will disappear only after the variable screen is filled and the result is finally displayed. 
    Does anyone comes across this issue?  Is there any way to get a clean background to start with?
    Thanks.
    Best regards,
    Zabrina

    Hi,
    The problem is due to the fact that we are using too low level of SAPGUI.  After upgrading the GUI level and patches, this together with other frontend problems such as missing role button, variants not showing and so on are dissolved.

    Same exact same situation happened to me with Windows 8 64 bit, Adobe XI .
    the CPOU is slowing down and is heated. the fans s running all the time. the only solution was for me to end the processes from the taks bars (one process per adobe file open !!!)
    somethign is definitely wrong; but don't know if it is Windows 8 or Adobe; I thing it is Adobe issue.
