Usernoted process issues

I've been having a problem with my iMac for a while whenever I have to restart. It always gets stuck on the Apple logo screen with the spinning thing. I have tried pretty much everything you're supposed to do in these situations. Basically everything here:


http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_use_os_x_boot_options_troubleshoot_you r_mac


I've also unplugged all my external devices and run a few memtest passes on my RAM. Neither helped locate the problem. Eventually I get it back on after several safe boots, regular boot, etc... There's no consistent pattern to it.


Today I discovered that the "usernoted" process is taking 99-100% of my CPU. It also appears several times in Console under "User Diagnostic Reports" during the time I last tried restarting my iMac making me think it's the culprit. So maybe somebody more knowledgeable could look at this log and tell me if it is the problem. Thanks.

You probably have more than one issue, but I notice that you've mixed RAM from two different vendors, which could be the underlying cause.


To address the problem with usernoted, proceed as below.


Back up all data.

Triple-click the line below to select it:

~/Library/Application Support/NotificationCenter

Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

Services Reveal

from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Log out and in again. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.

Thanks for the suggestions. The usernoted issue appears to be resolved. As for the RAM I purchased it from Other World Computing, a well known Mac store, and that's what they recommended. That was around 18 months ago and this issue only recently appeared. In any case I'm going to remove it and see what happens. Will report the results here.


Thanks again.
