Where is GrowlHelperApp.app? box pops up and closes after a few seconds. I don't have Growl installed - what can I do?

Whenever I open my recently Mavericks booted mac, a pop up box appears asking me
"Where is GrowlHelperApp.app?"
I have never used nor heard of Growl before.
I spent around an hour googling for a soultion, but the only ones I can find all relate to having Growl installed.
The worst part is that clicking "Cancel" immediately brings the box back up again, whilst moving it or just leaving the box open results in it closing itself after ~15 seconds just to re-open again.
It's extremely frustrating.
Does anyone know what to do to get rid of this without having to buy Grow
Cheers in advance!

Thank you for your help!
I disabled them all one by one and it seems like it was the GeekTool Helper that was causing this..
Which is a shame because it added life to my desktop
You have yourself a good day Mr. Tony!

  • When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works!  Any suggestions?

    When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works!  I have thought about deleting the app from my phone and then reloading it again but I worry that it will delete all my calendar info???  Any suggestions?

    To reset, press and hold the Home and power buttons until the silver apple appears.
    I would delete the app, reset the phone and then download the app again. Your calendar information should be stored on the phone as Week Cal uses the Calendar app information.
    Best of luck.

  • Some Apps refuse to open or close after a few seconds. Is it the apps or the phone?

    Has anyone else suffered from the following glitches?
    A few apps I have purchased recently have worked fine for a couple of days but then seem to stop working. By stop working I mean an app is pressed, the screen flashes to black as though opening the app, but then fails and returns back to the original screen. This has happened on two apps thus far, shiftlife organiser and the free app movie SFX. I had to delete them and re-sync them on ITunes. They both appear to work fine for a few weeks and then fail to work for no obvious reason.
    Another app Met Office Weather, will open correctly, but when navigating through the app to say weather maps, just shuts it down continuously. A game Death Rally, which I have been playing on and off for a while with no issues, now will open for a few seconds and then close itself again.
    Another issue is functions not appearing. From the main menu screen I have flicked left to the search screen to find there is no keypad, or when accessing ITunes via the phone, cannot input the ITunes ID as there is no keypad to enter the password.
    On each occaision i have rebooted the phone, but I dont want to have to keep performing this manual fix each time.
    Its almost appears as though a virus is slowly infecting my Iphone 4S V5.0.1.
    HELP!!

    Basics are restart, reset, restore.
    Have you tried each of these?

  • Ipad 2 - 30gb and running out of space, but i don't have that many movies - can anyone help

    ipad 2 - 30gb and running out of space, but i don't have that many movies - can anyone help?  How do i find a directory of files that I can manage (PC user)?
    thanks!

    You might have to do some experimenting from iTunes on your computer.
    Several months back, I had a phantom 5G of video.  I unchecked ALL video files and synced the iPad and the 5G was still there.  I was able to delete the 5G and bring it back by repeatedly unchecking and checking the "Sync Movies" box.
    A "Restore" solved my problem.  Be forewarned that it's not quick:
    Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • When I first plug in my power cord it lights up green and then after a few seconds changes to red.  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Apple systems in MBP have self-maintaining charging systems.  If the battery is less than 95%, the charger light turns orange when plugged it.  It will charge to 100% and stay green then will hold on charging until the battery drops to 95% again.

  • [MBA 2013]sound crashes and restart after a few seconds

    Hi guys,
    I bought a Macbook Air in June 2013 and 2-3 months ago, I started having problems with the sound.
    Basically, there is always one of those things running : iTunes, VLC or youtube/soundcloud so I always use the sound.
    After some time, the sound is strange like it is dying. After a few seconds, it stops working and then I have to wait around 5-10 seconds for it to be automatically restarted. I don't have headphone or anything plugged in and no external sound card.
    All my drivers are up to date and I have the last Mac OS X version (10.9.4 I think).
    Does anybody know what I should do ? Format it ? Uninstall all the software like Boom, Accubeatmix (maybe they cause the problem but I've used them since I have the MBA).
    I am used to using linux commands in a terminal if there is some dirty things to fix that so feel free to share those.
    Thanks.

    I uninstalled Boom and it seems to work now. Strange that it worked without any problem for a long time.
    I'll install it again and see what happens.
    Thanks.

  • When trying to download 4.3.3 for iphone 4 with firewall off and antivirus off but i keep on getting the error code 3259 - sometimes it times out after a few seconds other times it will be half anhour - can anyone help?

    Hi,

    Before beginning the download, try temporarily disabling the antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is required and is running with that secure OS.

  • My iphone 4s turns off and restarts after a few seconds or minutes to establish a FaceTime call. I've tried "Restore iPhone" but the same thing keeps happening. Any solution?

    My iphone 4s turns off and restarts itself a few seconds or minutes after when I establish a FaceTime call. I've tried "Restore iPhone" from iTunes but the same thing keeps happening. Any solution?

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Also, if this only happens with one Wi-Fi network, power cycle that Wi-Fi router.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order.

  • "where is GrowlHelperApp?" box popping up

    Hi, I am running itunes 8.0.2 on a macbook running 10.4.11 and all of sudden everytime i open itunes and frequently when I change songs a choose application menu pops up and says "where is GrowlHelperApp?" I do not have any file by that name on my computer nor have I ever had Growl (that i know of). If i select something else from the menu nothing happens and the box continues to pop up. This is very annoying and I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution for this.
    Thank you very much.

    What is Growl? How does Dropbox use it?
    From Growl's website: "Growl is a notification system for Mac OS X: It allows applications that support Growl to send you notifications." In other words, Growl lets Dropbox notify you of any Dropbox activity right on your desktop. If Dropbox detects Growl is installed on your Mac, it will use it to display all Dropbox notifications.
    Growl notifications appear at the top right corner of the screen. A Growl notification will appear whenever new changes are made to the contents of your Dropbox, such as a newly added file or a change to a shared folder.
    Note from David:
    Therefore, "growlhelperapp" is a support file of Growl, which is placed on your system if you use Dropbox — that is, if you have enabled the Dropbox App.

  • Every single app including iTunes, safari forces close after ten minutes of activity? I have closed all apps with minus button and still closes

    Every app on my iPad force closes including safari, and iTunes, it seems ir forces close after fifteen minutes of opening the app or iPad apps. I have tried using the double click start button to close all running apps but it still force closes and I've noticed that when I reopen an app after it foreclosed I will get a black screen and will have to close open and close and open in order to get any app running again. I know you can't get a virus but I am wondering. I am hoping I won't have to reset and lose everything I have. My memory is too low for backup. But if I have to reset can someone tell me what the reset does and if backup would restore on the reset. Ive tried everything clearing cashe cookies, history. Please help this is very frustrating especially when your in the middle of writing a paper and it force closes on me. I have never hooked it to a pc so not sure i would get a virus and I haven't used iCloud. If you have any suggestions can you tell me exactly what I need to do to fix this. I don't have the money to call apple support, I am a nursing student. Thanks, Abby

  • When I share video to my macbook it cuts off opening titles and starts vid a few seconds in.  I have tried making titles part of timeline, not appending them, but it does the same either way.  Any advice on how to get it to include opening titles?

    I'm having trouble getting FCPX to share my entire video, it cuts off the opening titles and starts a few seconds in when I share to my MacBook.  It's my first vid so I've done a few daft things like editing the audio after I put the visual together, so had to detach it and re-attach it.  Is this the possible root of my problems? 

    Hi Tom
    Version 10.0.5 FCPX.  Can't send screenshot at present.  However on all three versions of the video I have in Projects there is a shaded area on the left at the start.  Shaded from top to bottom over the credits and sometimes over the first two or three seconds, this extends to the left and fills the project box before the 00.00 counter and the timeline starts. This only appears when I expand the timeline so I can see the clips I've attached.  It's not visible if I just have the timeline and no clips or audio showing.   I think it corresponds to the part the export is cutting off. I'm self-taught from tutorials and handbook and it's all new to me, no editing experience prior to the last two weeks.  
    Couldn't upload to Youtube at all, though it did go to Facebook, but with two audio tracks playing, so export is proving a bit tricky. Also after attempting to share two different versions of the vid an icon has now appeared beside it's name in my Projects next to these two versions showing an audio sign and triangle with exclamation mark.  Another version of the vid has the same icon and freezes the computer when I try to open it and is just a black space where the timeline should be.  I can't even Move To Trash.  I think there may be an audio problem: the main timeline footage should have had audio but was silent, probably a mistake made when it was shot.  So I synched audio.  However, I think there is audio on the main footage but just unavailable to me.  Could be this is messing it up?  I'm clearly doing something wrong!  Also as mentioned, edited the audio after I'd synched it, so had to detach the synched audio and re-attach an edited version.  Could be I went wrong there.  I just highlighted, deleted and attached the new audio.
    Might download an unexpanded version and see if anything's different.  Failing that may go back to scratch, synch edited audio and try again and just not put on start credits.  However, could it just be a bug in the software?  Would re-installing help? 
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks.

  • Maill App Closes After a Few Seconds

    My mail app on my new iPad closes automatically after about 5 seconds. Any advice?

    Can you send mail from your ipod?

    I even had to delete and setup my account again when my mail stopped connecting to my mailserver.
    After that it worked fine again.

    I'm confused
    I took this to mean that your DID have an install disk.
    By holding down the "C" key, you are booting to the install CD.
    Alternatively, you can hold down the "option" key, to select which drive to which you want to boot.
