System Events?

Post by Nelsn Helm »

When I start up my computer, I get a window that says "Where is System Events.app?" Does that have anything to do with GC? I cannot find an app with a name including either "System" or "Events". _____________________ Nelsn Helm 4112 Massie Av 3 Louisville, KY 40207-2179

You should find 'System Events.app' in '/System/Library/CoreSevices/'. Usually an error message of the kind "Where is xyz.app?' comes from an AppleScript which for some reason or another cannot find the app for which the script is calling. I have no idea the script might be in this case nor why it cannot find System Events. Since the error shows up on start-up it may perhaps be associated with one of the 'Login Items' perhaps.Alan Fry On 22 Sep 201305:26, at   05:26, Nelsn Helm wrote:   When I start up my computer, I get a window that says "Where is System Events.app?"

I just suppose Apple Co. has systems of operation problems [AKA OS-X] for latest versions seeing worse problems on my side here.I remember when the NEW TIGER OS was first out - the bug was that if you deleted any system files [it was possible] like prefs it would spiral into a crash... it went repaired later.

Apple is slap dash in their software - starting after Panther I read often enough. Tell me if after any recent updates that the computer gets slower - annoyingly sluggish unresponsive - when was Apple introduced anyhow? 1984 Superbowl?

The normal cure for this problem; When the box pops up with this error scroll down to the app and select it. In your case you will probably need to scroll down to "Other" then navigate to /System/Library/CoreSevices/ then select System Events.app. The problem should then go away.
