OS X :: Hidden Google Updater Process

Jan 23, 2009

I installed Google Picasa far Mac on a 10.5.6 leopard machine. Today, a window told me that I should update my version of Picasa, but Picasa was not running. The updater was well hidden. In fact, there is no google updater in my StartupItems. Furthermore, there is no goo* process among the running processes. The only upd* process is "update", whose function I ignore. Does anyone know which one is the Google Updater process? At Google they forgot to add "sudo" and User Authentication in the updater. The updater fails also when launched with Administrator privileges. That's funny, the mighty Google offering us such pearls of Mac programming.

Software :: Removing Google Updater From Application List

Jun 16, 2008

I recently installed and then removed "Picasa Web Uploader". Along with that application came "Google Updater". I removed Google Updater from my applications list, and removed the /Users/mbeason/Library/Application Support/Google directory. Unfortnately, I still see a "Google Updater Helper" process in the process list when running activity monitor. I've done some research on Google. They indicate that you should be able to uninstall Google Updater from within the tool itself. However, I did not find this to be the case. I re-installed Picasa Web Uploader to get Google Updater and it provided no option to un-install itself. How do I squash this program once and for all?

OS X :: Hidden Process Running Under Activity Monitor

Jan 1, 2011

I just found a 'hidden' process running in Activity Monitor. If it weren't for the indication of 64 bit under virtual memory, I wouldn't have noticed anything. This is the first time that I've ever seen a 64 bit process running with root privileges. On top of that, it's hidden. Whenever I try to quit or even force quit it, it comes back. Should I be concerned? I'm little worried right now. This wouldn't have any relation to the sudden loss of several fonts that occurred a few days ago, would it? (I lost Century Gothic)

OS X :: Re Fsck-hfs Process At Start Up - How To Disable Speed Up Process

Sep 21, 2009

I have a Mac Pro with several raid array and single drives attached (1x Wiebetech RTX600 Raid 5 through SCSI; 1x CalDigit HDElement Raid 5 through miniSAS; 4x internal drives).Unfortunately, due to various reasons (electricity outtage and software crashes), I'm experiencing system crashes and need to hard re-start the system. Upon restart, I am able to boot back into Mac OS X, but sometimes one, or both of the raid arrays will not mount.However, after a period of 0.5 - 2 hours, the array would magically re-appear again. Sometimes this might even happen to internal drives that I had mounted inside the chassis of the Mac Pro.

OS X :: Good Process Explorer Equivalent - Monitor Process CPU And RAM

Feb 26, 2010

I am wondering if anyone knows of a good osx based alternative to Process Explorer on windows - what I'd like to be able to do is graph CPU and memory for a specific process and ideally see what network connections a specific process has open. atMonitor seems to do this pretty well generally, but not for specific processes (this is for monitoring a multiplayer flash game).

OS X :: Software Updater Keeps Quitting

Jul 14, 2009

I have browsed the forum for an answer to my problem, but none of the "fixes" worked for me. Each time I try to check for updates the blue bar progresses almost to the end then suddenly quits. I deleted the cashes, all of them, and the plist and still no updates. This is what the "problem details are" except the 3 pages of gobbledygook that I cannot understand:

Applications :: ITunes Library Updater For Mac?

Mar 23, 2009

I see that this has been asked a few times (albeit a long time ago), but there's never really been a definitive answer.I have just switched to Mac and I used to use a program called iTLU on the PC which would automatically update my iTunes library (remove tracks that have been deleted from the hard drive and add tracks that are new).

Applications :: How Does Adobe Updater Work

May 31, 2009

I recently purchased a used macbook and the previous owner left a copy of Photoshop CS 4 on there for me (I don't know if that is kosher or not). But I'm planning on buying the entire Creative Suite by next year, but it is a perk for me to have access to Photoshop for the time being.

I'm paranoid about losing access to Photoshop though, so I never update it with the Adobe updater for fear of it asking me for the serial # or it sensing a different IP or whatever it could do. But last night I allowed it to update the updater. Everything works fine still. I just allowed it to update itself, the actual updater program.

So i have a few questions:

1. Can people legitimately sell a mac with third party software still on the machine, such as Adobe Photoshop in my case?

2. When I allowed Adobe Updater udate itself from 6 version 6 to 6.0.2, did it talk to Adobe at all with regards to Photoshop, or is that too far of a stretch?

3. If I allowed the Updater to update Photoshop, would it check the serial # or anything at that point, or was the initial installation all there is to liscensing?

I'm asking this out of curiosity and because if I am in flagrant violation, I'd rather not be using the program. I'm paranoid about this type of thing too.

Software :: Flip4Mac WMV 2.3.0.14 Updater Installs SliverLight

Oct 29, 2009

The automatic Flip4Mac updater will install Microsoft's SIlverLight browser plugin automatically unless the user does a custom install. It was even going to install it on my 10.6.1 machine although the MS web site claims that SilverLight is tested through 10.5. I have contacted the Flip4Mac support people since I believe this is Malware behavior.

Most Mac users will be unaware of what SilverLight is and how it will effect their machine. Nor will most experts think to check for/remove it when troubleshooting. If you wish to make your concerns known, contact their desktop support group, and include "Support Case 1-74223" in the subject line.

OS X :: Software Updater Freezes - Time Taking?

Sep 6, 2009

I have a PPC mac mini with Leopard installed. The last software update was in approximately April. I went into iTunes and was prompted that there was a later version. I went into the Apple Software Updater, but it hangs about a third of the way through the process. I can 'cancel' the update, i.e. not beach ball, but it won't finish and display the list of items to update. I searched the forum and one suggestion was to delete the contents of the Library/Updates folder. This has not resolved the issue. How long can an update search take? I am waiting ~20 minutes, which is much longer than I have had to wait in the past.

OS X :: Can't Set Safari 4 Snow Leopard Google Search Box To Google

Oct 15, 2009

Previously the solution was to install Safari plugins Inquisitor or Glims but Apple have removed the interfaces from Safari 4 that these plugins used - and there is still no built in Safari Preference to set the locale of the Google search. Effectively this renders the Safari Google Search field pretty well useless - at least for UK users. If you're searching for UK-based businesses or individuals, for example, the thousands of USA results that come up first are just not relevant - (that's an example of British Understatement. by the way

Just have to go for the warranty?

OS X :: Software Updater Suddenly Slow - Not Downloading In Snowleopard

Jun 18, 2010

I don't know whats going on. My SU was working fine until i noticed last night when I went to download iTunes 9.2, the downloading speed was real slow....like an hour or more on the timer. I tried multiple times then went to bed. internet connection is fine because today I've been downloading stuff on my other computer and just used software update to download iTunes on this machine that has both my Tiger partition and an SL partition, and it downloaded fine on that. However, I tried downloading some software app from apple directly form their website and the speed is fine. And now also, trying to download iTunes from the updater aborts about halfway saying it can't be verified or corrupted. I don't get it. what the heck could be wrong?

OS X Server :: Finder Stopped Working When Forced Updater To Quit

Jun 19, 2007

Q. I stopped an update installer of some Apple software and the Finder, now crashes without showing the desktop. Only the Apple logo and a spinning Beachball which never disappears. I can start up in the Unix mode and also in the Windows mode. I have an Imac with Osx 10.4. I could reinstall the system but probably I will loose a lot of unique files and poto's. In the Unix mode I have removed the Installer file from the desktop but it didn't change the startup. I have little experience with Unix.

OS X :: How To Get To Hidden Windows

May 12, 2010

Recent switcher. Experienced in KDE Linux and Windows. If I have two windows in Firefox, both maximized - is there some way, from the dock or cmd-tab to switch between them? Its really hard to find a "fullscreen" windows behind another one. Expose sort of does it, but I prefer to see icons rather than page representations (sometimes it's hard to differentiate between a terminal and a sparse website).
