What is "apple scc-20130410-174607"?

Hello,
Does anyone know what this "item" is: "apple scc-20130410-174607" ?
I found it in my Login Items with the "Kind" listed as "Unknown".
FYI: When I tried "show in the finder", the finder doesn't come up.
My IMac Intel w OS 10.6.8
I'm hoping that it's an innocuous piece of something left over from a driver or security update, but would very much appreciate it, if someone more tech savvy than I would enlighten me.
Thanks in advance,
Scout

Delete it from Login Items.
I did a Google search. The only return is this thread.
As long as your Mac isn't restarting itself, or doing anything out of the ordinary, I wouldn't worry about.

  • What is "apple-scc-20120126-112417"?

    I just discovered this in my Login Items. It's "Kind" is "Unknown," and when I right-click on "Reveal in Finder," nothing happens. Besides the obvious date reference (20120126), I haven't a clue what it's all about.

    Maxwell's,
    If you Google it you will find many results, not for this exact code but similar.
    These are similar.

  • User has a "startup on login" pref that opens a file named "apple-scc-20111227-074257".  Can't find any reference to this....any idea on what this startup file does or if it can be safely removed as a login-startup item?  thanks.

    Friend has a laptop running OSX 10.6.8, with latest software update 22Jun2012.  One of the User's items to startup on Login is a file titled "
    apple-scc-20111227-074257"
    No idea what this does or where it is located.....any ideas on what it starts up and if it can be safely removed from startup items?  Thanks for any info.

    If you mouse over the item in your Login Items you should see a tool tip indicating where it is.  Alternatively right (control) click on it and a contextual menu item, Reveal in Finder will be shown which you can select to open the folder containing the item.
    By the way the 20111227 portion of that name looks like a date -- 12/27/2011.
    I'm  sure you can delete it.  Nothing major is going to happen.  But you really should find out where it is.
    If Reveal in Finder doesn't show anything it may be because the file is invisible (which might be considered somewhat suspicious).  In that case use the finder find command (command-f) and look for kind filename plus invisible.  Or just use Find any File to find it.

  • What is this unknown file in Login Items: apple-scc-20130423-135229

    My Login Items include a file of "unknown" type named "apple-scc-20130423-135229."  When I attempt to "reveal in Finder," it cannot be located.  I also have not been able to locate the file using 3rd party invisible file locator software.  I'm running Avast! antivirus software, which hasn't turned up any suspicious files.  Is it safe to remove this file from the Login Items?  I've seen similar posts on the site, but no resolution.  Can anyone help?

  • Mystery Login Items - apple-scc

    In Sys Prefs, User and Groups, Login Items Tab, there are a few apps that I expect, e.g. iTunesHelper.
    But there are two oddballs: both have names starting with apple-scc, then numerals, e.g. apple-scc- 12345678-12456. Both have a yellow triangle with exclamation mark beside them. Neither are enabled.
    What are they?

    Do you have FaceTime video and audio set as login items?

This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one. Will they do the same for me? Is there any other way I can get all my pictures from my iPod without iCloud set up? Would Apple be able to lock up my iPod so they cant use it at all? Please help me, thanks (:

    Nothing... why would they do anything?
    Apple does not provide insurance and they are not law enforcement.

  • What is apple's replacement policy for a macbook pro?

    Macbook Pro, 13" from Summer 2011 running Mavericks
    Still under applecare, but will run out in approximately a month.
    As stated above, I bought the computer in the summer. A couple months later, I took it in to the store and ended up having the logic board and entire screen replaced because there were issues with both.
    This past march (2014) I took it into the store and had the hard drive cable replaced because my hard drive was "missing"
    Afterwards, I was having issues with the computer shutting down randomly. I would close the lid - putting it to sleep - and then I would sometimes hear later on (not immediately afterwards) the disks start going again or the fan start blowing as if the computer was turning on again and working on something. Sometimes I would put it in my backpack and 20 minutes later take it back out and find that it was super hot and the battery had completely drained. The computer also got a lot slower. I talked with apple on the phone and the person I talked to even commented on how slow it was going as she had me open up certain things to check settings, etc. That resolved nothing so I took it in to the store. The store technicians took it and then gave me a call later and told me they found nothing wrong with it. They offered to send it in to the factory or some other repair center for a more thorough search and repair. Due to certain work circumstances, I said that I would see if things got better. A few days later, things got a lot worse and I ended up taking it to the store and having it sent out to the factory. Both times I was at the store I could see exactly what the technicians were writing down, and despite me telling them over and over again, they wrote down things that weren't really the issue. Maybe this is minor, but for example, I would tell them that my battery heated up when the computer was supposed to be asleep and it would get hot and drain completely in a very short time while it was supposed to be asleep. They would write down "battery drains quickly." They also just didn't seem to care very much - walking away and helping other people despite my appointment, etc. Well they sent it off to the factory and then shipped it back to me after replacing the logic board, battery, fan, and ram. I called apple as it was being shipped back to me and asked to talk to a manager because I thought it was rather ridiculous that my computer was having so many issues - I felt like as soon as my warranty was up it was just going to have another problem and I would end up paying for it. He to me he would extend the warranty some and he alluded to possible a possible replacement of the computer down the line if I was still having issues. The day I got the computer back, it kept trying to shut down. It froze once. I wasn't even doing much with the computer - it shouldn't have been overloaded by a long shot. I called and left a message for the manager. He called me back a couple days later and I told him what the issues were as soon as I got the computer back. However, they abated between the time I got it back and the time he called me back, so he attributed it to the fact that I had been using google chrome and said I should check my updates. I switched browsers and made sure I was updated and for a time it was ok-ish (still slow). Then I had an issue where I was copying files to my desktop. The copying went on forever and ever and my computer started freezing. I tried shutting down and I couldn't. I hit the power button and it wouldn't turn off. After forever, I finally got it to turn off and restarted. Then the random shut downs started again. And then, finally, I was left looking at a folder on a gray screen. Called the manager again and he said it was probably the hard drive cable. He said that if the cable replacement didn't fix it, we would probably be looking at replacing the computer. I took it in to the store and had it replaced. It didn't do any good. Now the manager wants me to send it to the factory again. He says that I almost had reached the amount of repair issues that would get me a new computer, but the first issues right after I got it didn't count since they weren't very recent. What is apple's policy on replacing laptops that seem to just be lemons?

    We cannot answer the question nor will Apple. You will need to consult your state's lemon law to determine whether you have a case. Most likely you will need to go to arbitration. If you need to go to court you will need to hire an attorney or use small claims court if your case is eligible.
    If Apple has such a policy, then only Apple knows what that policy is. So you will need to take the matter up with them through the local Apple Store.

  • What will Apple do if my iPod Touch 4g crashed while updating to iOS 6?

    Yesterday while trying to update my iPod touch 4g to iOS 6, it just suddenly shut down mid-way (on a charger). When I tried turning it back on, it would pull up the battery screen indicating that the battery is low, so I would plug it in the charger again. Although after its charged a bit, it would pull up the Apple logo and then go to a (teal) blue screen and I cannot do anything else. When plugged into a computer, my laptop can't even recognize my iPod touch. I've tried draining the battery out all of the way, then charging it up again and it won't work. My iPod touch isn't jailbroken either, and there was 2.4GB free space like indicated during the update. I'm wondering what will Apple do if I would bring it to the store?
    I'm really upset because I just barely bought this about two months ago when I broke the screen on my other iPod touch

    try putting it in DFU mode
    watch this vid

  • What does Apple HW Test really test about hard drive?

    My 2002 FP iMac was recently jolted. The internal hard drive is no longer recognized. Here is what I know:
    When I boot with the Apple Hardware Test CD which came with the computer, it does not recognize anything wrong with the hard drive.
    When I boot from an external hard drive, I get a dialog with buttons to Initialize, Ignore, or Eject the hard drive.
    When I open Disk Utility (external HD boot), it can see the disk, but says it is unformatted.
    I also downloaded a trial data recovery program and it could not find anything identifiable on the hard drive.
    I don't really know what the Apple Hardware Test program tests with the hard drive, so I don't know how to interpret the information I have.
    My questions:
    Is there any hope for salvaging anything from the hard drive? (Probably not?)
    Is the drive itself likely to be OK if I format and re-install my OS? (Is that what the HW Test is telling me?)
    I have not tried to format the drive, because there are a few things I would really like to salvage. I have also not opened it up to examine anything on the inside because I would not know what to look for.
    Suggestions for how to proceed will be welcome.

    The data on the ill-fated hard drive may be recoverable; could be
    there has been damage to the drive or the software on it that lets
    the computer read files from the drive.
    Some disk utilities such as Disk Warrior could see about trying to
    fix the drive; although if physical damages exist, it can't fix that.
    The booted OS X Installer's Disk Utility has options in the Installer
    menu bar (drop down menu to select other things, when not just
    reinstalling) and you could see if OS X's Disk Utility from the booted
    Installer disc could give you a status report on the drive in Verify, &
    also see what it says about 'Repair drive' when chosen to try a fix.
    Sometimes, the OS X's Disk Utility can't fix something, and at that
    point, other utilities (retail on DVD) may be able to. Then, the tossup
    is, whether or not you want to pay for the utility to fix an old drive, or
    put the money into a new one.
    Data Recovery software is available as download, so if the old hard
    disk drive were removed from the computer and a new drive put in,
    later on the failed drive could be investigated through use of software
    (such as those which can recover, then you pay to unlock results)
    and that is another way to consider addressing the old drive contents.
    Some would suggest, if you had Disk Warrior or some other disk utility
    that could fix the old drive good enough to try and get data off it, maybe
    even a full clone or just the files you need, then you would not need to
    get the data recovery software. Of course, that software which runs to
    see if you have recoverable files, can do that part for free.
    The AHT may see the drive is present, while not recognizing a
    failure in its firmware or in its directory, etc. Some kinds of disk
    utilities can try to rebuild and replace a damaged directory or
    other bits of software on the drive so it can be read again.
    Usually, the test for the hard disk drive is Disk Utility on the
    OS X Installer; and that gives you the boot version that sees
    even a healthy drive as an unmounted and repairable volume
    when it is correct and not beyond the limited ability of the utility.
    Hopefully something practical comes from all these words...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5.  My old android phone worked perfectly with my car.  Even the tech guy at Lexus couldn't get it to work.  What is apple doing to fix this.

    The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5.  My old android worked perfectly with my car.  Even the tech specialist at Lexus couldn't get it to work.  Lexus said that other iPhone 5s were having the same problem.  What is apple doing to fix this?

    Going to the local Apple store this morning...
    My problem is not uncommon as the board is showing signs of this happening to many others as well. That is where I found the restore and reboot information to try to solve the issue of crashing apps.
    I understand that Apple will not "give away the cow", but letting iPhone users know that the problems they are having are being addressed by Apple is a little more comforting than nothing at all. Other wise, all the apps in world are useless and even more importantly worthless, if a person has to reset/reboot/reload just to get them to work.
    IF Apple can not address the basic problems with todays iPhone apps, why should one believe that the iPhone 3.0 OS is any better? Using a PC comparison, which is better, XP or Vista. If the current iPhone OS of 2.2. what ever is not working that well (as related to down loaded apps and iTunes), will OS 3.0 be any better?
    The waste of time I refer to is in going to the apps store and downloading the apps... Again why by apps if the free version does not work?

  • I have two iphones in my household and neither phone has the wifi greyed out, what is apple doing to rectify this problem

    What are Apple doing to rectify the problem that the Wifi icon is greyed out and you can no longer get onto Wifi!! 
    This has happened on both iPhones I my household!!
    It must be a problem with Apple as so many people seem to having the same problem.
    I have tried resetting networks, resetting phone etc....nothing works

    Broaden your perspective a bit.  There are literally millions of phones out in the world without any issues at all.  If you are reading posts on the internet about the ones with issues, then you would be left with the impression that they all have issues.  Neither you nor I have data to support the existence of a widespread issue of this type.
    Having said that, the only issue that matters is the one at hand; yours.  Let's stay focused on that.  Help is here and if we can't counsel you toward a software solution, then help will be available elsewhere, but at some cost to you.

  • What is apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update? this update has ruined my phone

    What is Apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update??? This update has ruined my phone! Why would you put out a update you know is going to ruin someones phone? Whats being done? I have tried everything to fix my phone which was just fine before Apples IOS 7.1.2 update!!!

    I have also experienced issues with my iphone5 since updating to ios 7.1.2, prior to this update my phone was working perfectly fine and I know I didnt cause any damage to the phone because I baby my iphone as if it was my child. Ever since I updated to 7.1.2 my phone shutts itself down while I am using it, it can be while using whatsapp, browsing the internet or using apps, more than anything it fails while using the internet. The screen will either start to flicker or vertical lines will pop up and then the phone will fade to black, after this happens the phone will get really hot and to turn it back on I have to wait 5-10 minutes and hold down the power and home keys at the same time for about 15 seconds for it to turn back on, I have to wait 5-10 minutes because if I dont when I boot it back up it immediately shutts down again. This is a constant all day thing and for now i get by just making phone calls and sending regular text but I try to keep the action down to a minimum to prevent missing a phone call. I tried clearing the phone and rebooting it to original setting but this didnt fix it. After reading and speaking with several techs they tell me that ios 7.1.2 rolled out some performance adjustments one particular that affects the amp levels that the battery works at and supposedly the iphone 5 cant handle it, they explained that the phone for certain activities is asking for more or less power and the phone panics into safe mode and shutts itself down. My battery life is fine so I havent changed the battery like someone had suggested. In the diagnostic data it gives a panic.ips error. Id really like to know if there is any possible way to roll back to 7.1.1 through jailbreak or any other way, I was perfectly happy with this phone and didnt plan on buying another one for atleast 1-2 more years. If anyone can help me out this would be greatly appreciated, if not I hope apple is working to fix this.

  • IPhone 3GS upgrade v3.1.3 to v4.0.1: What's Apple Doing to Resolve?

    I upgraded to 4.0.1 this weekend on my iPhone 3GS and my wife's iPhone 3GS. We are now both suffering from only 5 hours of battery life.
    Prior to the upgrade we enjoyed over 16 hours of battery life. The only difference is the upgraded operating system. This proves the problem is the upgrade to 4.0.1, maybe not v4.0.1 itself, but definitely the upgrade from v3.1.3 on a 3GS.
    We use(d) these machines in our business and because the working business day is greater than 5 hours, this upgrade to 4.0.1 is costing us real money. If Apple wants to be considered more than an up-market toy maker, it will need to show more commitment in support of real world businesses.
    Can Apple continue to refuse to accept there is a problem? I've tried ignoring the problem, like Apple, but it didn't make my battery last longer. So I guess ignoring the problem is not the correct answer? Maybe I need to hold the machine differently with v4?
    I call for Apple to immediately make an optional downgrade to v3.1.3 available, or issue a fix to the v4.0.1 upgrade process/software. If any empowered employee of Apple reads this, please action immediately.
    Otherwise, what is Apple doing to resolve this issue, other than ignoring it?

    Hi
    When you say nothing in the csauth log... do you mean nothing at all... or nothing that looks like an error?
    Try setting logging to max and seeing where it gets to.
    I suspect there is something in your 3.3 config that doesnt get upgraded corectly. Its impossible for every scenario to be tested - Im not sure how much upgrade testing actually gets done. Probably left until the end of the test cycle.

  • Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates?

    Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates? All of a sudden without changing any settings, the audio on my NEW ipad cuts in and out on applications/ games, keypad noise and lock sounds. The rocker button only seems to work while the sound is intermittently being heard before, after a few seconds of noise not doing anything when sound goes off.
    This is highly frustrating as I've noticed others posting about such issues as far back as April. Anybody had the same thing happen to them? Is this likely software (ios6) or hardware issue? What are the solutions Apple???

    Apple has no physical stores of their own in Dubai, so unless you mean that you purchased from the online Apple Store for the UAE, you purchased from a dealer, who may or may not have been authorized. You can check the expiration date of the warranty on your iPad yourself by entering in the serial number here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    If it does indeed show the warranty has expired, then what you need to do from here will depend on who you purchased the iPad from and when you really did purchase it. Perhaps you actually purchased it in August and are just misremembering? Check your receipt. If you confirm that you did purchase within the last calendar year, tell us exactly where you got it and we can probably offer advice.
    Regards.
