Does anyone know how to remove 360 Controller Driver Daemon from the Startup Items on an iMac?I downloaded this so I could use an Xbox 360 wireless controller for Onlive but since downloading this I get a conflicting driver error when I load up Onlive.I thought I'd deleted this from my mac but I can still see this sitting in System Information/ Software/ Startup Items but I can't remove from here. It does not display in my System Preferences to allow me to remove from the Startup Items?
I'm retrying to install windows on my mac. It's the second time I'm trying, but it has somehow become way harder. The first time I installed Windows, everything worked perfectly, untill I noticed that SP2 wasn't installed, and I couldn't install it on my windows, somehow.
Now I'm trying it with a different version of XP (Pro), but Bootcamp is giving issues. I haven't deleted the old volume/partition (don't know the difference) of windows yet, as it is installed on my startup disk and Disk Utility won't delete it .
This might be a "silly" question but here it is: I get this message: your startup disk is full. Do I need to delete files? What there is to do ? Where to look? Is it normal, my Macbook is getting really hot?
My own account login items list in my systems preferences window is limited to one item- an istat menus helper app. But my mac hd/library/StartupItems folder contains two items that I don't recognize and don't think have much to do with starting up the computer. One is a Qmaster folder and another is named RDUSB00A3Startup. Each folder contains a few items, including a unix executable file and a plist file. My mac hd/system/library/StartupItems folder is empty. Can anyone please advise on whether the items in my mac hd/library/StartupItems folder are necessary and if deleting them could affect my computer? I don't use Qmaster and have no idea what the RDUSB00A3Startup folder is for.
Every time I try to restart my computer on my Hard Drive I get this message "Startup disk could not gather enough information on the selected disk". As of right now I am running my whole computer off of a 16GB flash drive that is quickly running out of memory. How do I fix my Hard Drive without losing all 150GB worth of data. I am running off of OS X 10.6.8 and have another iMac that is working fine.
I have an Imac with Snow Leopard but my startup disk is full; I tried the System Disk to start it up and I also ran the disk utility but nothing. Any ideas on how to acces the hard drive to delete some files and free up space for the startup? Or what should I do to get it to start?

I didn't just lose my harddrive. My 2007 iMac with Leopard froze up yesterday and it looks like I need a new hard-drive.But I thought I'd try to follow the support info to reboot it with the startup disk so that I could try to backup the files.I inserted the disk, pressed C on startup, and worked my way to disk utilities.I clicked on the Macintosh HD on the left side and clicked "repair disk." and after a couple minutes I got an error message saying that the repair failed.Ok, so then I stopped, but then noticed that the "Macintosh HD" on the left side is now in grey color print. And when I click on it, it looks like there is 0 bytes on it.Did I just lose my entire hard-drive?? Please tell me that there is some hope. I was having problems with backing up my info onto my WD Mybook through TimeMachine, so it's been over a year since that was last done. I am merely trying to retrieve files from the last year from my hard-drive before I have a new one installed. I'm dropping off the computer in the morning with an Apple 3rd party consultant to try and retrieve what he can from my hard-drive. I just want to know if I just made things worse.
Ive made an OS bootable super duper backup of my white intel imac (late 2006) 10.6.8 onto a WD My Book Studio 2TB (GUID partioned) and although the drive appears to be running fine from the OS its not being seen as a startup drive when connected via usb or firewire (with an 800 to 400 adapter) after holding down the option key at startup. I tested the startup drive capability on a newer imac running 10.7.4 and it shows up as a viable startup drive when holding option at boot up and plugged in via firewire.
why the older imac might not be picking up the drive at bootup with option key pressed?

I ran omnidisk sweeper and it shows I only have 39GB of used space. However, when I check the info on the startup disk it shows that I only have 300mb-5GB left depending on the day. I have deleted all unnecessary files that I can. I can't really find anything else to delete. I only have a couple programs installed that are pretty basic like word and excel.

keep getting message start up disk almost full. Got rid of garage band. Have no moves on mac.Just word for mac and documents created on word. Have never used for photos, music and keep nothing except documents. Says 232 GB used on Hardrive and only have 13 mb left but has fluctuated in last 3 days from 600+ MB to now 13 MB. Have emptied the trash and all downloads numerous times?
My 2009 mac has been telling me the start up disk is full so I thought to save iphoto and itunes to an external drive. But I have been advised to upgrade the os first as I am still on snow leopard. Before I buy lion (I can't wait for mountain lion) can I upgrade while the start up disk is full? Or will it not let me (it won't do the updates that are coming through at the moment)? If I save iphoto and itunes to the external drive first will I still be able to access them/ properly?
