Intermittent Crashes-No Clues in Console

Or at least I can't find any clues other than repeated attempts to sign-in to a discontinued MobilMe account.


Any ideas?


The list of actions taken so far:


  1. Clean install and migrated user files from Time Machine back up.
  2. Installed OS10.6.8 over current OS
  3. Repair permissions from disk, zapped pram and reset smc.
  4. Ran Extended Apple Hardware Test, Drive Genius Scan Test, 6 loops of Rember (Memtest) - all passed
  5. Ran Onyx Maintanance and Clean.
  6. Searched and deleted old PPC and unused Intel applications and drivers
  7. Updated current apps and drivers.
  8. Removing all connected hardware except power and ethernet cable did not stop crash.
  9. One mistake was to delete Bonjour in Safari but I'm not sure what effect that may have had.
  10. What I've forgotten after a couple of weeks working on this problem😟


I have previously posted but I seem to have run into a dead end.


Here's the Console log ending with the launchd[1] entry which is the restart after a hard power off (?)

You replace them. Easiest is to put that modified plist on the Desktop and use this Terminal command to change the permissions: copy & paste it into the window that pops up, and hit the return key.


sudo chown -R root:whell ~/Desktop/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist


At the Password: prompt, carefully type in your admin password, since nothing shows up on the screen, and hit the return key again. Once that's done, make another copy of the original plist file, copy & paste in this command which will replace the original one, hit the return key, and restart:


sudo cp ~/Desktop/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

Ok, I checked /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist and the


-NoMulticastAdvertisements


was added to the Program Arguments. Unfortunately Console still reports:


4/6/12 1:34:44 PMmDNSResponder[18]Permission denied (NOAUTH): _services._dns-sd._udp.user.members.mac.com.
4/6/12 1:34:44 PMmDNSResponder[18]hndlRecordUpdateReply: Registration of record _services._dns-sd._udp.user.members.mac.com. type 12 failed with error -65537


In doing some housekeeping by going through old files I've found an alias in the Documents > Backed Up Files to my home folder and it's contents complete with a hard drive icon which I trashed siccessfully. Also an iCal Calendars folder in Home > Documents > Archived Items > iCal Calendars folder with Birthday, Holiday .ics calendars etc. It seems like my Home Folder has gotten mangled probably more than once and I'm fighting the prospect of starting fresh, rebuilding a new Mac.


I certainly appreciate your helpful knowledge and time!
