User Event Agent (Not Responding)

With the item selected, click the Quit Process button. A sheet will come down and ask you what type of quit you want to do. Click Force Quit.

I can only assume that User Event Agent is important, so if it doesn't relaunch near immediately, I'd restart.

I have the exact same problem. Started as soon as i upgraded to leopard. Everytime I force quit the process (UserEventAgent), it simply launches again as (not responding).

It doesn't seem to be adversely affecting anything... but it would be good to know what's going on.
I just restarted and both the usereventagent and finder were not responding. I had to force relaunch the finder, so maybe its something to do with that?

add me to the list of people with this problem, since leopard upgrade (10.5.1)

I am also experiencing the same problem. It happens after launching iTunes. iTunes hangs for a few minutes and then resumes working but User Event Agent continues to hang until I restart the computer.

I also had the same problem with the User Event Agent crashing after recently upgrading to Leopard OSX 10.5.1, but have found a possible fix.

After uninstalling the OSS 3D 2.3b6 iTunes sound enhancement plugin, the problem appears to be fixed and my system seems to be running more smoothly. For your info, there's a recent update to OSS 3D, which may fix this problem without uninstalling the application.

It appears to be Protools related (drivers)

applewiz: hey, me again... i was just coming back to tell you that i found that my digidesign core audio plug in (located in Library>Audio>Plug ins>HAL) was causing the problem. Deleted the plug in and n more 'not responding'... hmmm, obviously a similar issues. This is a lame question but how/where did you get the log in? Thanks!

I had the same problem. The previous resolution fixed my issues, and the user agent is running fine now.

This fix worked for me also. It's worth pointing out that I had not upgraded to a Leopard compatible Pro Tools build since updating to Leopard. I'll install PT LE 7.3.1 and see if the core audio driver still persists with this problem

Hi
Ive seen all the posts here but want to ask.
If i delete this bluetooth plugin am i going to be left with no bluetooth connectivity? I also use a Digidesign Mbox and had the drivers installed in my 10.4.11 system. I cloned that system to firewire drive and upgraded to 10.5 and let the set up assistant copy all my users apps etc from there into the new 10.5.1.
I cant find the digi design driver anywhere now in the 10.5.1 system. Can anyone say for sure that this driver was the culprit? If so where is it now?
Furthermore, i cannot sync my Nokia N73 as i could before i upgraded to Leopard. I wonder if this is because of the bluetooth plugin problem.
Sorry this is so badly written...
cheers

I don't know what it means, but what it does on my imac is to stop it from going to sleep. If i force quit it in activity monitor, the mac goes to sleep, but i have to repeat the process every time. Does anyone know if repair permissions might help this problem? By the way this has only happened since upgrading to the new O.S.
