UserEvent connected to applications folder on an attached partition

This doesn't happen on a bare-bones Mountain Lion installation.  My regular installation goes back to 2007, has had numerous software updates and has a fair amount of third party software.
When I mount the partitions on my Drobo S, I typically get the following type of connection [output from lsof].
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF    NODE NAME
notifyd    14 root  297r   DIR   1,12     1360       2 /Volumes/B6
notifyd    14 root  298r   DIR   1,12      442  421104 /Volumes/B6/usr
notifyd    14 root  301r   DIR   1,12      238  130854 /Volumes/B6/private
notifyd    14 root  304r   DIR   1,12      136  137088 /Volumes/B6/System
notifyd    14 root  307r   REG   1,12  8192160 3538524 /Volumes/B6/mach_kernel
notifyd    14 root  315r   DIR   1,12     2448  280507 /Volumes/B6/Library
mds        39 root   64r   DIR   1,12     1360       2 /Volumes/B6
UserEvent 915  rbp  137r   DIR   1,12     2040  463868 /Volumes/B6/Applications
UserEvent 915  rbp  138r   DIR   1,12     1360       2 /Volumes/B6
The two UserEvent entries prevent me from dismounting (ejecting) the partition.  They do not exist on partitions I can dismount.
I am at a total loss as to what is creating this.  Consequently, I can't begin to determine how to prevent it.  PID 915 referes t the UserEventAgent, which I presume sets this up.

ali b,
Yes, this an odd situation. When it last occurred, there was only one Apple Tech Support rep who understood the problem and knew how to fix it. It's a bit disappointing not be able to find any tech note referencing the problem and the solution. It's actually fairly simple, but sequence specific.
The "Application" folders that appeared in the search window were not the application folder containing all of my apps. Both were only 4KB in size. One contained an iTunes foler with some documentation in it. The other contained a Virtual PC folder with some scripts in it. The folder that contains my apps is actually over 7GB.
Again, I believe that the key to solving this problem involves creating a new folder, moving the contents from one to another, deleting the old and renaming the new. However, I also believe that some of these steps require terminal commands in order to accomplish the tasks. Ergo, a solid understanding of Unix is key to solving the problem.

  • Internet Connect in Applications folder

    Hello everybody. I have a question. In my Applications folder is Internet Connect application and it's has an icon like it's doesn't work. When I click on it appear such message: "You cannot open the application "Internet Connect" because it is not supported on this architecture." And I afraid after deleting this application I'll be have some problems. Is there anybody who have the same one in Application folder? Or any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi Lu-Maze,
    I believe that Internet Connect Application was used in Tiger and was found in the Utilities Folder. I don't think it was carried over with Leopard, as I can't find it. Move it to the trash but don't empty and see if it causes any issues. I don't know how you managed to get it if you installed Leopard unless it was a hold over from Tiger if you just did the upgrade and not the erase and install.

  • No Internet Connect in Applications Folder

    I think I accidentally deleted Internet Connect from my Applications Folder a couple of years ago. Can't find it using Spotlight. I went to reinstall it from the startup CD, but I wasn't sure how to proceed. I need it to configure my VPN. Any suggestions?

    From
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Connect
    Up to the latest version of Mac OS X 10.4, the Internet Connect application provides more general tools than the more detailed Network pane in System Preferences, which allows the user to configure and control systemwide network settings. However, as of Mac OS X 10.5, Internet Connect's functions have been incorporated into the Network pane of System Preferences, and the application is no longer included.

  • Mobile Applications folder missing

    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to acces files, which are supposed to be located inside the "Mobile Applications" folder, which should be located at
    C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media.
    However, this folder is missing. The only things that are present in the iTunes Media folder are:
    A folder named Automatically Add to iTunes, both one in English and Dutch "(my PC language) and both are empty.
    Another folder named Music, which is also empty.
    A file called .iTunes Preferences.plist
    No Mobile Applications folder whatsoever.
    iTunes version I am using is the latest. (iTunes 12)
    OS is Windows 8.1
    Device I am connecting with the PC is an iPod Touch 4th Gen. (running iOS 6.1.6)
    Some notes:
    I have tried syncing the iPod with the computer, creating a backup at AppData, but that still did not make a folder called "Mobile Applications" appear.
    I have downloaded all my apps through the iPod's App store, not through iTunes on the PC itself.
    I'll appreciate any help!

    If this is a new computer that the device has never synced with see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    The process of recovering transferring purchases and recovering other media should create the folder in question. In some cases it may be one level up in the iTunes folder, but that is unlikely here. The only other possibility is that you're not looking in the active media folder.

  • Missing files, user folder, application folder and system folder

    I am using a MacBook Pro 2011 model with OS X 10.9.4.
    Since I bought the machine several years ago, I have had only a few small problems with it. Yesterday I wanted to reduce the size of a video, so I downloaded a video compressor/converter software, and left the computer on and the program compressing my video whilst I went off to work. When I returned home, the compressing program had a pop-up saying ''Could not complete compression, system full'' or something along those lines.... After trying to play the movie without success, I decided that I would restart my computer, as it had been on all day.
    When the computer restarted, it came up with the grey loading bar, which usually comes up when I have done a software update. It disappeared quite soon and several minutes later, my user profile appeared. I logged in as normal, and then tried to open my browser. An error message popped up stating"Can't open user profile directory, because you lack sufficient privileges. You might want to contact the administrator of this machine". I then tried to open other programs and they all came up with similar messages and did not open. Skype stated "Can't create a lock file at Users/Lauren/Library...etc".
    I then went to Finder to look at my applications and they were ALL GONE! Then I went to a folder I have with all my files called "My files", and although the primary folders were visible, "SCHOOL,WORK, HOLIDAYS PICS, etc", these folders were empty. I then checked my User folder, and my systems folder and these were empty too. However, the Desktop and Documents folders still contain the documents that were previously there, and my background images remained the same.
    I tried to open Word, and although it is also missing from the applications folder, and it opened, also allowing me to open a document which I know is located within the 'empty' folders. I have a feeling that my documents and files are still on my computer, but I don't know how to access them!
    Please if someone could shed light on the situation! All my work files and personal files are on this computer and I would be devastated to loose them!
    Let me know if you need any more ino or screen shots!
    Kind regards,
    Lauren

    OS X- Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup
    You need to start by doing the following:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    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. Alternatively, 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
    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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Adobe CC 2014 Applications do not show in my Applications Folder.

    Hello all,
    Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
    I have recently installed all 2014 versions of my creative cloud software which all worked fine.
    The odd thing is that they do not appear in my Applications Folder when viewing from a Finder window. They all show in LaunchPad and also when I do a 'Reveal in Finder' search from the Dock icon when the application is launched.
    See screenshots attached;
    01 - Applications Folder from Finder
    02 - 'Reveal in Finder' from the open application dock item
    The two folders show are the same path (Macintosh HD / Applications).
    As you can see the 'Adobe' Folder is common to both but the CC applications no longer show in screenshot 01.
    This is not a show-stopper by any means but I curious to understand why this has happened after upgrading to CC 2014
    Any ideas?

  • How To Copy User Folder/Application Folder To Fresh Drive

    I have a friend's iMac G5 whose hard drive went south. Fortunately I was able to copy its contents onto an external firewire drive before it totally lost its data. I installed a new hard drive in the iMac and put on a fresh copy of Leopard and iLife '80 - using my friend's same name for the user folder. Migration Assistant won't see the folder as it is on a connected but not bootable drive. So I need to manually drag over her data but I am concerned about just how to do this in a way that won't put me (and her) in "permissions agony." What's the best way to do this? Her system was running Tiger 10.4.11.
    Plus the same is the case for her old applications folder. How can I get all that including the files that go into various libraries. Migration assistant would be so wonderful as it handles all that stuff...any help with this part also?
    Thanks in advance.

    Message was edited by: JOHN PAGE

    I was able to have a fairly successful conclusion to my dilemma. I had copied her information using Retrospect's Duplicate function and all her data was copied onto a firewire drive. This was done as her drive was going south before it totally deteriorated. I made a new administrative user with a slightly different user name (adding a 1 to her name) and copied all the user folder data over. Then I deleted the original user (and the 1 on her new user name) and was left with all her stuff in good shape with no permission problems that couldn't be taken care of with Disk Utility. Of course the Applications folder was one I didn't bother with because of how so many applications install things all over the place, preferences, application support folders, etc.; but, after a reinstall of most of her applications, things to seem to be working quite well. A few of her applications that I had no install for, I copied over successfully from her old application folder itself. Not bad.
    I bought a Time Capsule for her use and am backing up that way for her...as well doing a Super Duper incremental back also onto the Time Capsule.
    Thanks for your help.

  • When I updated to Lion, a folder named RamdiskFixer appeared in my Applications folder. What do the applications contained in this folder do?

    When I updated to Lion, a folder named RamdiskFixer appeared in my Applications folder. What do the applications contained in this folder do?

    Thanks. I am sure you are correct, although I don't recall installing it and I only discovered it after the update to Lion. That is why I thought there was some connection. Anyway, I have deleted the folder and its applications. Thanks again for setting me straight.

  • No icon or application in Application folder

    I downloaded QT 7.4.5 for my G4 and copied the dmg to an external HD and connected the HD to my G4. I copied the dmg disk to my G4 desktop and installed QT 7.4.5 to my G4. The installation was successful and I restarted. No icon or application is in my Macintosh HD application folder. I searched with the finder under applications and QT is not there. Plus, I tried to load an earlier verson 7.4.1 and the installer said I can't load it because a newer version is already installed. Anyone have a clue where it might be?

    Click on the external drive and choose Get Info from the File menu. If the format contains Mac OS Extended with or without anything after it, drag the iPhoto Library of the Pictures item in the Finder's sidebar to it. If not, open the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and depending on your needs, erase the drive, create a new partition in that format on it, or create a disk image on it(must be smaller than 4GB if drive is in the MS-DOS format.)

  • Apps do not appear in applications folder, app store shows that they are installed

    My system failed and I had my husband restore all the applications. He was installing Garage Band, iMovie ad iPhoto using the App Store. He paused the download of all the applications since the system had to to do a restart.  When the system came back up, App Store was reporting that the applications were installed, but when I looked in the applications folder none of the applications were in the folder.
    How do I restore these purchases?
    Thanks

    My husband was able to figure it out.
    The problem was that the backup of my old system was connected and the old applications folder was found by the App Store App store. So App Store thought that the application was installed even though the application folder was not on the system drive.
    The work around was disconnect the drive. My husband thinks that the the App Store should ignore any application that is not in the system Application folder.
    Thanks

  • I updated to OS X version 10.9 and now my applications in the applications folder are gone

    When I click Finder-->katelynsmith(with the little house icon; under favorites)-->Applications folder all of the icons for my applications are gone (chess, iPhoto, etc.).  However, when I search for "chess" (or any application names, for that matter), hilight the icon, and click the tiny applications folder on the toolbar on the bottom of the window (see photo attached), all of my applications are there and they still work. 
    Why did this happen and how can I get the applications back to the applications folder they used to be in?  Do I need to just copy and paste all of them?
    Thank you,
    Katelyn

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    There are two Applications folders: /Applications (in the root level of the hard drive) and ~/Applications (in your user folder).
    If you have a look at the bottom part of the screenshot, you can see where Chess is stored, and it indicates that it's stored in /Applications, so you are looking for applications in the wrong folder.
    Open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Sidebar, and mark Applications. Then, close the Preferences window and you will be able to access to the Applications folder in the Finder sidebar. Another option would be to go to View menu (on the menu bar) and type:
    /Applications

  • After downloading ff4 into applications folder, then dragged (logo copied) to bar at bottom, when I tried to open it, prompt comes up that Mac OS-X version doesn't support using it?

    received email notification, ff4 now available, click here , clicked on button as directed, file downloaded, dbl clicked on icon, dragged new icon to applications folder, looked up "info" and saw "ff4" to which I then dragged a copy to my bottom bar.
    tried to open ff4 logo at bottom bar and was informed that Mac OS X 10.4 version did not support ff4?
    Luckily I saved older ff 3.6.16 @1998-2011
    I have new version ff4 parked in my 'applications folder' but can't use it?

    Ok, one of the rules in troubleshooting is to remove all peripherals and see if anything changes.
    I had two 500 GB "My Book" drives (different releases) connected via FireWire, and one Seagate 1TB drive connected via USB 2.0. (I thought they might be taking a lot of power away from the main unit.)
    So after shutting down the iMac, removing the external hard drives, and attempting a reboot from the DVD I was able to succeed! The verify and permission check went as expected - nothing unusual.
    I then dug out my original 10.4 Tiger installation/boot/utility disks that came with my G5 iMac, and was able to boot them as well. With the Tiger install disk I was able to run the "Apple Hardware Test iMac Version 2.5.1", and it didn't test the DVD drive but did find something wrong with the Video memory! (It was apparent that something might be wrong here since the display wasn't clean but had a bunch of short verticle lines about 1/8" going up and down all over my display - it was bad enough that I could barely read the hardware test results.)
    So, while I may still have a Power Supply issue (I should be able to boot from the DVD with my external HD's connected) I now also know I may need to have the video ram looked at.

  • Transfer from time capsule frozen - shows for part 15 hours: 2 min remaining transferring your applications folder...

    Transfer from time capsule frozen - shows for part 15 hours: 2 min remaining transferring your applications folder...help!!!

    Hang in there for another few hours to see if the transfer will complete. Check with the Apple guys again if no progress.
    If you find that you need to repeat the process due to errors, I would strongly recommend an ethernet connection from the TC to the computer to greatly speed the process and minimize chances for errors and interruptions.

  • No access to Enturage application folder after installing Office 2004

    I´m not sure this this the right forum, but when I ask Microsoft Enturage people, this is a Mac Tiger security/permission problem, and when I ask Apple people this is a Microsoft Enturage problem, so I don´t know.
    So,my issue: I have just reinstalled my HD, using "archive & Install". After the installation, I installed Office 2004. Everything works fine (Word, Excel etc) extept for Enturage, I cannot run the application. The message I get after klicking the icon is:
    "You do not have write access to the Enturage applocation folder.To run Enturage you must have the administrative user remove the Identities folder from the application folder."
    I have an admin-user. I have not changed user (only me and the admin) during installation.
    The reason for reinstalling my Mac was solely because of Enturage-problems, and now, after all this effort, it will still not work! This can make a person go insane!
    I am not a very technical person, and will be very greatful for all help!

    Did you shut down the database before moving files?I didn't move any files, I just copied some files to the other node.
    Can you connect in sqlplus?Yes that was possible. I also had a connection to the database using TOAD.
    After looking for the problem together with a colleague I've found out that I had to add some more listening addresses. The problem was that my nodes node1 and node2 have the IPs 10.10.10.2 and 10.10.10.3 but the virtual server of the cluster which forms the database oracledb for the clients runs on 10.10.10.103. So there was the name for e.g. node1 in the configuration files but also the IP-address 10.10.10.103 which the system couldn't resolve. After adding all possibilities using the Net Manager and after restarting the services it worked fine. At least until now. I haven't tried everything yet... I will go on tomorrow... thx so far.

  • Can't restore from Create Archive of Applications Folder

    Hello. I never fully recovered from reverting to Panther from Tiger (see re:Major Problems in Feb. 2006). I think that I had some leftover Tiger apps or cache. So, I did another clean install, starting with OS 10.2.3 and then updating to 10.3.9. I think that I avoided all problems, everything is running smoothly, except...
    I wanted a backup of my Applications folder so that I could drag my non-Apple apps back into it after the restore. I thought that I would compare the Application folder after the system re-install with my copy of the folder and it would be easy to just drag my apps into the system folder. I used the File/Create Archive menu item on my Application folder, and yes, it took a long time and is huge, but it worked. The problem is that I can't unzip it. The error that I get is "Unable to unarchive "Applications.zip" into /MacFileCurrent". (Error 17 - File exists.)". There are several versions of Turbo-Tax and a few of Metrowerks Codewarrior, but they have different names. I tried connecting my iMac via firewire to a different computer (running Tiger) in case it needed to be on a different drive than my system drive, but that didn't help. Can I unzip the file?
    Thanks in advance.
