Q: Insecure Startup Item disabled at startup

Hi there,

It seems like a simple to solve problem, but I cannot detect the items that are prevented from startup. My computer shows me two "Insecure Startup Item disabled" messages about Digidesign (which I think was left there after deleting Avid). I have learned from the apple support page I can simply drag the two insecure items from my StartupItems folder. But I cannot find the StartupItems folder anywhere. It is not located in my Library folder, nor can I find it in any other folder.

Can anyone help out please? Thanks very much in advance!

More info about my mac and the error messages:

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Hi Linc Davis,

Thank you for the answer, but unfortunately that is the page I was referring to. It states I can find the item in my StartupItems folder, but I cannot find that folder. anywhere. Do you know where I can find it? It's not located in my library folder.

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards, Michele

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/StartupItems
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Hi Linc Davis,

Thank you for your quick and detailed explanation I thought I had to write it like this in from the Go menu: ~/Library/StartupItems - thats why I couldn't find it. It worked! Grazie mille!
