Just took a look at my “Console” log out of sheer curiosity (relatively new to Mac) and I get this “bootstrap_register() erroneously called” message once every ten seconds. If they’re going to run something on my machine without my permission, can’t they at least get it right?

I noticed my log files being filled with garbage from google, exactly as related by Hank on May 8 2011. It took quite a bit of work to remove all references, programs, plist files … relating to google, and to use launchctl to remove the launch of the google daemons. I hope now I am free of google, and will remain so.

This really pisses mr off because all I run is Google Earth. But I’m on a PPC running 10.4, so Google WON’T update my software – and yet I still have to run this trash?

Remember the days whem Google would take cheap shots at Microsoft for their “evil empire” practices? Somebody was taking notes.

hmmm, this just started showing up on launch on my Mac:

5/8/11 8:28:57 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.google.keystone.daemon[4445]) bootstrap_register() erroneously called instead of bootstrap_check_in(). Mach service: com.google.Keystone.Daemon

5/8/11 8:29:20 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.google.keystone.daemon) Throttling respawn: Will start in 8 seconds

5/8/11 8:31:51 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.google.keystone.daemon[4581]) Exited with exit code: 1

… lather, rinse, repeat …. been doing it for an hour now.

@Mark: com.extensis.SuitcaseFusion2 has absolutely nothing to do with Google. It is, as its name suggests, part of Extensis’ product “Suitcase” font management product. Contact Extensis if you want to get rid of it.

but it still keeps installing that
com.extensis.SuitcaseFusion2
file.

it now askes me to connect 10 X
making me very angry
‘its very frustrating.

in terminal, it asks for a password, but there is no password and there is no way of typmin in a passsword.

short of deep reformatting my mac and never using any google products ever again, does anyone have a solution
