Re: [CGUYS] Process name (null) on OS X

I lean more towards thinking it's a quirk of 10.5, maybe in conjunction with the migrating. You could be right about OS X maintenance fixing it. I didn't find any discussion of a migration resulting in these null names. I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens. Thanks again for the input. d

Re: [CGUYS] Process name (null) on OS X

I would bet that the null had something to do with the migration of those particular programs... OS X runs some maintenance programs occasionally and that might account for the later change... db Jordan wrote: All the null named programs were migrated. But plenty of migrated programs are no

Re: [CGUYS] Process name (null) on OS X

All the null named programs were migrated. But plenty of migrated programs are not named null, the icon for the programs in each case is right there beside the word null, the programs are all working properly, and in the case of Thunderbird, Seamonkey, and now Audio Hijack, the name null has be

Were the programs showing up as null migrated or installed fresh? db Jordan wrote: Thanks for the incites. I'll read up on your ideas and try the different booting modes. Today, after another shutdown/startup cycle, Thunderbird is no longer Null, and Seamonkey, which was also null, is no long

Thanks for the incites. I'll read up on your ideas and try the different booting modes. Today, after another shutdown/startup cycle, Thunderbird is no longer Null, and Seamonkey, which was also null, is no longer. Sunbird still is. Audio Hijack still is, and is up to date. I do have all of Audi

Re: [CGUYS] Process name (null) on OS X

I am running 10.4.11 and do not have this problem. I run Thunderbird, but not Audio Hijack (I use WireTap Pro) and Sunbird (I am now looking at it thanks to you). What OS are you running? Do you know if you have always had this problem or is it new? Steve Jordan wrote: There is a curiosit

Re: [CGUYS] Process name (null) on OS X

Have you tried running "top" in Terminal to see if the process names show up there? This will give us a little more information on how deep the problem goes, and it is also a partial substitute for Activity Monitor. You can read about it at

Re: [CGUYS] Process name (null) on OS X

I googled "Process name (null) on OS X" and came up with this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Process+name+%28null%29+on+OS+X&btnG=Google+Search"; I guess you have already done this because the results seem to refer to A Classic environment or apps which doesn't add up in your case...

No comments on this issue, eh? I suppose you'd have to be a serious OS X geek to know about something like this. What I find when I Google is that it's: Something to do with the Classic environment, which I've never allowed to load on the machine. Some anonymous app that consumes massive amounts of

[CGUYS] Process name (null) on OS X

There is a curiosity I've noticed lately. Beside the symbols for the Thunderbird, Sunbird, and Audio Hijack applications in Activity Monitor, it calls the process name (null) instead of their names. These apps seem to be working properly and quitting them a restarting them does not help. I did
