kismac stays in location services after removal

Well, you see that in front of _locationd there is zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000sm00006d

So type : cd zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000sm00006d

And for step 8, if you don't know how to use nano (text editor), here is a useful :

i appreciate you support ,But after i wrote and i made this step

cd C

then nano clients.plist

it give me white screen witout any value inside ! 😮

i dont know whats is happen ,i am very weak with terminal

ok. Close the terminal and redo the steps until "cd C" (included). Then type "ls" (without the quotes) and copy-paste the result here.

Hi,

I have the same "problem" but I'm on ML. After browse C folder I could see these files:

-rw-r--r-- 1 _locationd _locationd 28672 10 ago 16:50 cache_encryptedA.db

-rw-r--r-- 1 _locationd _locationd 20480 28 jul 17:24 consolidated.db

-rw-r--r-- 1 _locationd _locationd 28672 10 ago 16:50 lockCache_encryptedA.db

Apparently, it has changed in Mountain Lion. clients.plist file is not present anymore.

I don't have a solution then.

Thanks 😟

didmytime, I have the same problem.. please let me know if you solve the problem .. Thank you!

Hi, are there any new possibilities to solve the problem under mountain lion?

I believe you will find the answer in the rather brilliant (at least I thought so) article "Reset and Remove Applications in Location Services on Mountain Lion (dated Jan 5, 2013)".

You'll find "clients.plist" in "private/var/db/locationd" which you have to convert to xml1, edit and then convert back to binary1, then kill locationd. All steps are explained, save and except you have to identify for yourself which text to delete specific to the application you want to remove from Location Services.

For me this text was:

<key>org.kismac-ng.kismac</key>

<dict>

<key>Authorized</key>

<false/>

<key>BundleId</key>

<string>org.kismac-ng.kismac</string>

<key>Executable</key>

<string>/Applications/Utilities/KisMAC.app/Contents/MacOS/KisMAC</string>

<key>LocationTimeStopped</key

<real>382473182.77373999</real>

<key>Registered</key>

<string></string>

<key>RequirementString</key>

<string>cdhash H"0b90033c15e7ad07d0b715d8fb20a3b84caf2ac9"</string>

<key>Whitelisted</key>

<false/>

</dict>
