Is "librariand" part of Lion ? if yes, what is it for ?

Do you have EverNote installed?

I have this too and I see it coming back many many many times

I searched and only found a few questions about this and one answer about the location (/usr/libexec/librariand).

Some suggest that there is a relation with Evernote (like the above) but I think there is not. Nobody seems to be able to solve it 😟

I would really like to get rid of this but simply removing the file does not feel like it is a solid solution...

I hope somebody knows where it comes from!

Do you or did you use mobileme, and/or do you have the iCloud beta installed?

Do you or did you use mobileme, and/or do you have the iCloud beta installed?

Yes I use Mobile Me and yes I installed iCloud beta.

Never used iCloud though and I did not find documentation how to uninstall it.

Thank you for getting back to this...

Well,

I did a little digging and the librariand process is related to/tied to AOSnotifications/account/etc.

If you google that it comes up being Apple Online Services. I feel as though it's either your mobileme trying to connect, but more than likely it's the iCloud beta trying to connect but the accounts are off or something. Also I see mentions of Ubiquity and that's somehow Apple related.

The reason you can't find any docs online regarding this is most likely because iCloud isn't officially out yet.

If you change iCloud details or account info you'll see AOS messages in the console.

I feel as though this will either be resolved in the fall when iCloud actually comes out, or it's just something that will always persist.

Hopefully the official iCloud release will overwrite the beta files otherwise you will need to do a clean install or something.

It certainly is part of iCloud.

I'm hitting this same set of messages.

I'm sure it's not part of Evernote, because I've never had Evernote installed. I'm guessing it has something to do with Documents and Data, since it seems to show up in my Console every time I open a new file in Pages, Numbers or Keynote. The app beach-balls for about 30 to 60 seconds every time I open a new document.

It just happened when opening an image in Pixelmator. Same console messages, same beach-balling. No idea if it's related, but since we're just trying to collect facts...
