What's wrong with my computer console?

I see hundreds of error messages nonstop. I'm not familiar with their meaning but there seems to many to post here. Do I need to install the operating system?


Thanks for any advice.

TheEntireSky, those Console messages occur normally. As mende1 wrote, ignore them.


Thanks for your repsonses, but in English words like 'fail', 'deny', 'unable' are common words for errors and problems.


There is no need to examine your Console logs unless you are experiencing problems with your Mac.


somebody in that link says I should trash


System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.afpstat.plist


That's a good way to cause problems with your Mac.


Do I need to install the operating system?


It is already installed.


Stop worrying about this.


If you are having problems using your Mac, explain the symptoms.

Can you copy those messages here? Normally, your computer works correctly with those problems, but if you note that your computer doesn't work correctly, copy them here so we can know what process belongs to those errors

That file has nothing to do with lsboxd process. I recommend you to start into safe mode, pressing Shift key while your Mac is starting, and then, reboot again. On the link, some people did it and solved that problem, so it could be related to cache problems

IF your read my post you'll see I already explained the symptoms, and just coming out with a 'stop worrying about it' answer is patronising and shows you don't know the answer. If you don't know what the symtoms are, what is it you want me to "stop worrying about"?
