Has anyone experienced ColorPort not launching? It’s always worked great for me under Mavericks (and every other Mac OS in the last 10 years) but suddenly won’t launch. I’ve tried reinstalling Mavericks, Java 6 and Java 7 and at every step it just won’t launch at all. No dialog box, nothing, all users, hard drive and permissions check out fine. Anyone seen this? Scott Martin www.on-sight.com
Happened to me last week. Not sure what changed or got updated but same behavior. Only fix I came up with: I had to restore an older system backup and all was fine. Prior to that, even booting to another user didn't work. I was having issues with Creative Cloud getting updates too FWIW.

sounds like it’s probably corrupt prefs or perhaps a corrupted .plist file? Also, check out your Library / App Support / CrashReporter folder for clues regards, Steve

Robin - yes, I do that often as well and it’s all checking out fine. I have had problems with orphaned blocks on this SSD that required repair that could be related to this problem. Andrew - I’ve had it working fine on 10.9.5 as well until it suddenly stopped. How weird that you restored from an older backup - was that a 10.9.5 backup? I’ve also tried various versions of XRD as you might imagine… Larry - Hey, I’m at a client's with two 60” Overdrive RIPs today… OD 2.3.1 is running on 10.7.5 and I was wondering if I should update the OS… Do you recommend 10.9.5 with the latest OD? Steve - thanks for this - I’m not used to looking at these… Here’s the problem (that I’m not sure how to interpret): _________ Application Specific Information: dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries Dyld Error Message: Symbol not found: _wlScanBSSID Referenced from: /usr/bin/uc/libwpsapi.dylib Expected in: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Apple80211 in /usr/bin/uc/libwpsapi.dylib __________ Scott Martin www.on-sight.com On Oct 14, 2014, at 12:50 PM, Robin Myers <robin@rmimaging.com> wrote:

Yes, it was an older 10.9.5 backup. XRD didn't seem to be affected on this end. Just CP which refused to launch as you reported. Andrew
Darn, so you had the exact same problem, aren’t sure what triggered it, but fixed it through a restore. Was that a Time Machine restore or... Super Duper clone?

Hi Scott, Overdrive Rev. 2.3.1 is required for 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8. Rev. 2.3.7 has specific updates for 10.9.5 that has rendered it to no longer work on the earlier OS levels. We only found this out this week. We’ll be adding a Notice on our web to indicate this. Rev. 2.3.5 was our first release for 10.9., again to handle 10.9 specific GUI issues. Rev. 2.3.6 was never released and now due to 10.9.5 causing 2.3.1 to crash (it was working on 10.9.4 and earlier versions), we released Overdrive 2.3.7. Therefore, please do not update to 2.3.7 for any OS prior to 10.9.5.

OK, thanks to everyone who responded. I figured it out! Apple’s Mavericks Java installation and a Oracle’s Java Installers (7+8) all let me down. With any of these installed the Terminal told me there was no Java Installation and it wasn’t bringing up a prompt to install one (because there already was one installed). Only the Java installer at this location: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572 could resurrect ColorPort. Hope this helps someone else! Thanks again. Scott Martin www.on-sight.com
Glad you figured it out. But is it too much to expect of Apple that these things would be thoroughly tested for functionality before releasing the upgrades? Java is quite a ubiquitous application after all.

OK, looks like it’s in the Apple framework somewhere… it looks like it might have something to do with the wireless network? That’s weird for ColorPort. Does CP access the network to connect to some devices? Anyway, I’d pour over the preferences folder and kill any .plist file that looks related to ColorPort or X-Rite stuff…. have you installed anything recently? regards, Steve

ColorTRUE on iOS uses wifi to connect to an i1d3 via a host machine. I've no idea if ColorPort participates in that though, or whether the wifi stuff has leaked into it. Graeme Gill.
I find that the best fix comes from starting up from another HD and running both Disk Utility "repair" and Disk Warrior "rebuild" after repairing permissions on the original HD.
