Hi Ronni and All, Your advice is spot on, as usual Ronni.
I found two folders in the /Library/Application Support and one .plist in the /Library/LaunchDaemons/ . Trashing them fixed my problems. Many thanks. My iMac is now back into normal operation. Have a nice weekend and best regards, Philippe C On 7 Oct 2016, at 4:23 pm, Ronni Brown <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Philippe, It will be located in one of these locations /Library/LaunchDaemons/ /Library/LaunchAgents/ If it's there delete it (or move it to the trash) Additionally, you might have something in the "Application Support" directory in any of the Library folders. Remove the files and then 'Restart your computer’ Cheers, Ronni 13-inch MacBook Air (April 2014) 1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost to 3.3GHz 8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM 512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage macOS Sierra 10.12 > On 7 Oct. 2016, at 3:40 pm, Philippe Chaperon <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Dear WAMUG, > > It seems my first email may not have reached the discussion group.
