MBP retina UserNotification Warning

Hi everyone,


I was wondering if someone can interpret this user message I get sporatically. I been getting it for a while, but I just don't know what it means. Any input would be greatly appreciated.


12/1/12 1:38:03.780 AM UserNotificationCenter[1184]: *** WARNING: Method userSpaceScaleFactor in class NSWindow is deprecated on 10.7 and later. It should not be used in new applications. Use convertRectToBacking: instead.


Thank you

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Are you seeing this message in your Console log(s)? It pretty much what it says - some application or something is trying to make a call that was deprecated in Lion and Mountain Lion. "userSpaceScaleFactor" should now be "convertRectToBacking" to run correctly in OS X Lion and above. Likely due to some application that you're running that's not Lion/Mountain Lion "ready".

I have similar (or the same) issue - from time to time a quick popup appears and instantaneously disappears, making it impossible to spot. I immediately opened console and watched what happened:

then, immediately these lines began populating:

Have you ever (also in your previous macs, if you restored stuff from a timemachine backup after getting MBP retina) installed Aspell? I mean, if you installed a language that's not supported by spellcheck by default (in system preferences - search for spelling). If there's a language with Aspell listed, try to disable it. I also deleted ~/Library/Services/cocoAspell.service.


I tried and will be checking if the issue reoccurrs.

i managed to trap the popup message on video:

It appears when starting the system. But it doesn't appear after rebooting. You have to shutdown the system and start it using power button.


I started to search for the file.


mac:~ root# find / -type f -name java -exec ls -la {} \; |grep x

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 54272 Jan 12 17:49 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Commands/java

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 100768 Jan 12 17:49 /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java


I excluded error messages.

Next, I added these files to firewall rules:

open System preferences, security, firewall, firewall options, +, cmd+shift+g and pasted the full path into the finder window, so i don't have to browse deep.
