Incomplete uninstall

edited December 2014 in Boom Discussions
I've uninstalled Boom 1.x either with the uninstall button or the UninstallBoomDevice.scpt file (can't remember which.) Since then I have rebooted my Mac several times. Today I noticed that there is still some Boom artifact on my system that manifests itself every 10 seconds in the Console log as follows:

12/9/14 6:35:59.766 PM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.globaldelight.BoomDaemon[20871]) Could not find and/or execute program specified by service: 149: Could not find a bundle of the given identifier through LaunchServices: com.globaldelight.BoomDaemon

I cannot find any LaunchDaemon/LaunchAgent plist file that might be related to Boom's daemon. Can you please advise how to unload the daemon's config from launchd?

  • For what it's worth launchctl has this to say about the daemon's config

    $launchctl list com.globaldelight.BoomDaemon
    {
    "EnableTransactions" = true;
    "LimitLoadToSessionType" = "Aqua";
    "MachServices" = {
    "com.globaldelight.BoomDaemon" = mach-port-object;
    };
    "Label" = "com.globaldelight.BoomDaemon";
    "TimeOut" = 30;
    "OnDemand" = true;
    "LastExitStatus" = 19968;
    "Program" = "com.globaldelight.BoomDaemon";
    };
  • Steve and anybody else who stumbles on this,

    The old Boom (v1) application made an entry in your local user LoginItems plist (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginitems.plist). All that needs to be done is to remove the entry through System Preferences... -> Users & Groups -> Login Items Tab. Now just delete the Boom entry in the presented list. Full step by step instructions can be found here: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18759?locale=en_US. Unless you've done it before I wouldn't suggest hacking on the plist file directly.

    Hope this helps,
