Are you actually seeing behavior related to these, or just seeing things in the logs? For example, I do see these sorts of errors when a non-sandboxed app tries to do something, but I only see the error in the Console, I do not notice anything otherwise. 24-Dec-12 10:52:22.425 PM sandboxd[11333]: ([11329]) com.apple.qtkits(11329) deny mach-lookup com.apple.ls.boxd 24-Dec-12 10:52:22.433 PM sandboxd[11333]: ([11329]) com.apple.qtkits(11329) deny file-read-data /Library/PreferencePanes/Perian.prefPane/Contents/Resources/PerianUpdateChecker.app/Contents/MacOS/PerianUpdateChecker That makes sense, Perian hasn't been updated for the sandbox and won't be. But most messages in Console are informational, and you shouldn't be freaking out because the word 'deny' is in the message. > I see a lot of this: "UI updates were forcibly disabled by application": I see a few of those. THey seem to be, again, informational. Basically the system is saying "Hey, an app spent more than a send throttled, so we are going to override the app and allow the rest of the system access to the UI.
