What does this console msg mean and how can I stop it?

This is about a CDMA iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2.10 (8E600). The console displays the following message every 10 seconds forever:
Wed Aug 31 12:36:47 unknown com.apple.launchd[1]<Error>: (com.apple.mobile.installd.mount_helper) posix_spawn("/usr/libexe/installd_mount_helper",...): No such file or directory
Wed Aug 31 12:36:47 unknown com.apple.launchd[1]<Warning>: (com.apple.mobile.installd.mount_helper) Exited with exitcode: 1
Wed Aug 31 12:36:47 unknown com.apple.launchd[1]<Warning>: (com.apple.mobile.installd.mount_helper) Throttling respawn:Will start in 10 seconds
It seems to be saying that it's trying to launch a file but the file is missing. But that interpretation doesn't totally make sense because why would it keep trying to launch a file that it already knows is missing?
I powered the phone off then recorded the console log during powerup. This message appeared for the first time during the boot sequence as follows:
Wed Aug 31 12:36:47 unknown kernel[0] <Debug>:launchd[68] Builtin profile: MobileMail (sandbox)
Wed Aug 31 12:36:47 unknown com.apple.launchd[1]<Error>: (com.apple.mobile.installd.mount_helper) posix_spawn("/usr/libexec/installd_mount_helper",...): No such file or directory
Wed Aug 31 12:36:47 unknown com.apple.launchd[1]<Warning>: (com.apple.mobile.installd.mount_helper) Exited with exitcode: 1
Wed Aug 31 12:36:47 unknown com.apple.launchd[1] <Warning>:(com.apple.mobile.installd.mount_helper) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10seconds
Not sure what MobileMail is but if it's the mail app, I use it all the time with (apparently) no problem. The mail app is configured to connect to google mail to send and get my mail.
Can anyone interpret this and say what's going on?  This endless message gets in the way of debugging an iPhone game I'm trying to develop.

There is no error message on the phone. I'm seeing it by reading the phone's console messages using Xcode.
My reasoning in posting it in this forum was that it appears to be an error message from iOS that has nothing to do with the software I'm developing. Even though it isn't being displayed to the user it's part of the behavior of iOS and I think this is a forum about iOS, among other topics. But I'll take your suggestion and post it on the developer forum also.

  • What does this error message mean and how do I solve it? "Sorry, one or more of the following command-line tools was not found:  /usr/bin/lsbom, /bin/pax, /bin/mkdir, /bin/chmod, or /usr/bin/update_prebinding."

    It sounds like some of the Unix Executable commands were removed (or the permissions to those were modified) out of the /usr/bin/ folder.  You can try opening disk utility and repairing permissions on Macintosh HD or you can reboot your computer and holding down option-r when it comes back up to reinstall Lion again.  This will not delete your personal information or applications you have installed but it would be best to back it up to Time Machine before you do.  The article on how to do this is here. (http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/)  I have had to do this before and it works like a charm.  It should fix your issue but grab a cup of coffee because its going to take about 35 - 40 minutes depending on how fast your computer is.

  • What does this error message mean and how do I fix the problem? Service "Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. I'm trying to install the new version of iTunes.

    When I get to the service section when I try to install the newest version of iTunes I get an error message. I'd really like to be able to connect to the Apple Store but can't figure out how to get those "sufficient privileges to start system services" and there doesn't seem to be any help on the Apple Support section of their Website - at least that I can find. Can anyone help me?
    I uninstalled the older version of iTunes. Apparently there was a .dll missing. I also uninstalled Safari since iTunes apparently uses some of the same applications as iTunes. It's getting frustrating not being able to buy books or access the books I already have. 
    Thanks for any help you can provide. Sometimes computers mystify me.

    I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
    Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
    Error 1053  The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
    Can anyone please help?

  • What does this error message mean any how can I fix it?

    I am running windows XP
    When I go to the command prompt, and type javac StdOut.java (StdOut.java is a java file that contains the source code for the StdOut method), I get this response:
    'javac' is not recognized as an internal or extrenal command, operable program or batch file.'
    I have java version 1.6.0_02

    I'll give you a more specific answer than that, although the above poster is also right.
    You're missing one of two things: either you didn't install the development kit for java (you just have the jre instead), or you didn't set the path to include where your javac executable is.
    First make sure that javac exists on your machine. If it does, then you need to set the environment variable. I'd google that, as it's relatively simple and I'm too lazy to type out how to do it.

  • Better privecy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers?

    Question
    better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
    Details

    As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
    Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
    In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
    C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
    Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
    Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
    If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
    If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
    Any luck?

  • What does this console error mean?

    I just got my 13" non-retina MacBook Pro back from the Apple Genius bar since the cable that connected my hard drive was failing. Before I brought it in, it suddenly went from an OK speed to a something is wrong speed. But before I took it in on Monday, I opened up the console and it had these errors that had to do with like the SMC and such. Before they took it in, we re-formatted my hard drive and re-installed OSX. That didn't fix it and the last backup I had on my Time Capsule was April 3 of this year. When I got it back, I transferred my data from the Time Capsule so I didn't have to re-install all my programs and such and I had a VERY important video stored on the Capsule. And today, I noticed while in my science class, the top bar on the top of the screen wtih the Apple symbol was missing. I shut it down and performed a disk utility, SMC reset, and PRAM reset and those errors are still there. Also when I went into iPhoto to retrieve the video I had, photos would appear in the boxes for a split second and then disappear and when I try to vew them, I got a triangle with an "!" within it. I can open them in Aperture but no videos can be accessed. But back to the errors. I get these two errors as a pattern in the console:
    4/9/14 12:46:44.000 PM kernel[0]: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR TC0D kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff8022443000
    4/9/14 12:46:49.000 PM kernel[0]: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR F1Mn kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff8022443000
    What do they mean and how do I fix them? So far, there aren't any major performance issues, it just runs a little slower than before. I bought my MacBook brand new in September of last year (2013) with all standard configurations but I did upgrade the RAM from 4GB to 8GB since I'm a mobile DJ. I haven't contacted Apple yet but I will when I get home later today since I'm still in school. And also when I try and open the files stored on my time capsule, it says I don't have permission to. Like... It's the same computer. It was restored from a Time Machine Backup. How do I allow the correct permissions? This is my computer, no one else uses it unless my brother wants to connect friends/family in minecraft.

    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    sudo mdutil -t 416080
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.
