Thank you Ronda. I have OS 10.5.8 on a 24" iMac 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo. 4 GB.
Getting rid of that pesky .plist file stopped that non-stop message. It has allowed me to focus on some other errors on restart. I've managed clean up some problems but there are more I'm not sure what to do about. For example from the list below is it safe for me to try getting rid of /Library/ScriptingAdditions/24U Appearance OSAX.osax And can you suggest what else I should do to clean up the restart. This is from the Console Messages starting with the restart.. 29/12/11 4:30:04 PM com.apple.loginwindow[37] Shutdown NOW! 29/12/11 4:30:04 PM com.apple.loginwindow[37] System shutdown time has arrived 29/12/11 4:30:04 PM com.apple.SystemStarter[33] Stopping ProTecV Server 29/12/11 4:30:32 PM com.apple.launchctl.System[2] BootCacheControl: could not open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: No such file or directory 29/12/11 4:30:32 PM com.apple.launchctl.System[2] BootCacheControl: 29/12/11 4:30:32 PM com.apple.launchctl.System[2] could not unlink playlist /var/db/BootCache.playlist: Unknown error: -1 29/12/11 4:30:33 PM com.apple.launchctl.System[2] launchctl: Please convert the following to launchd: /etc/mach_init.d/ dashboardadvisoryd.plist 29/12/11 4:30:33 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.adobe.versioncueCS4) Unknown key: ServiceDescription 29/12/11 4:30:33 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.RemoteDesktop.PrivilegeProxy) Unknown key for boolean: EnableTransactions 29/12/11 4:30:33 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.usbmuxd) Unknown key for boolean: EnableTransactions 29/12/11 4:30:33 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.cups.cups-lpd) Unknown key: SHAuthorizationRight 29/12/11 4:30:33 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.cups.cupsd) Unknown key: SHAuthorizationRight 29/12/11 4:30:33 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.ntp.ntpd) Unknown key: SHAuthorizationRight 29/12/11 4:30:33 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (org.x.privileged_startx) Unknown key for boolean: EnableTransactions 29/12/11 4:30:46 PM org.ntp.ntpd[27] Error : nodename nor servname provided, or not known 29/12/11 4:31:05 PM com.apple.SystemStarter[32] Starting ProTec6 Server 29/12/11 4:31:21 PM com.apple.launchd[1] ([0x0-0x6006].com.dantz.RetroRunSL[119]) Exited: Terminated 29/12/11 4:31:21 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.UserEventAgent- LoginWindow[109]) Exited: Terminated 29/12/11 4:31:21 PM com.apple.launchd[120] (com.apple.AirPortBaseStationAgent) Unknown key for boolean: EnableTransactions 29/12/11 4:31:21 PM com.apple.launchd[120] (org.x.startx) Unknown key for boolean: EnableTransactions 29/12/11 4:31:45 PM Dock[138] [QL ERROR] Generator database update takes too long... we will use what we currently have 29/12/11 4:31:46 PM Finder[140] [QL ERROR] Generator database update takes too long... we will use what we currently have 29/12/11 4:31:46 PM SystemUIServer[141] MenuCracker 2.2 (/Library/ PreferencePanes/MenuMeters.prefPane/Contents/Resources/MenuCracker.menu) See http://sourceforge.net/projects/menucracker MenuCracker is now loaded.
