MacBook Pro crash report - endless loop

uhm...thanks for the hint....good question.....

i can't remember what it is.

"could" be an old application regarding a mobile / modem software for getting online using a sim card (usb "surfstick").

But that's just a guess...and i thought i deleted this software months ago...but that's the only name which would fit.

Is there any way to find out more or do you have some help where to search or how to get rid of it..?

thanks a lot.

OK,

found some entries at:

System- Library – Extension

System- Library – Modemscripts

Library – Modemscripts

and removed everything regarding ZTE (modem).

Testing now...

didn't have luck so far.

The crash report is still generating EVERY 10 sec, now with this information:

That's a plausible explanation. I do recall reading about it in an earlier Discussion so I'll try to find it.

I do not recommend deleting various system modifications is piecemeal fashion, either manually or with any "cleaner" or "zapper" type utilities. That's a quick way to create unrelated problems and / or render a Mac unbootable. Find an uninstaller from that device's developer, if you are able. Beware that app uninstallers that actually work are often the exception rather than the norm.

Back up your Mac if you have not done so already. To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support. Do not make any modifications to your system until that has been accomplished. I can provide additional suggestions for your consideration, but only after you confirm a reliable backup exists.

there was an uninstaller before at the time as i was uninstalling that peticular software, but it seems to me that it didn't delete everything.

Of course, you're right regarding your recommendation... in that case, i was a little bit too quick, i guess, as i already deleted the files i have found.. 🙂

Yes, i have time machine running almost all the time.

Everything seems to working fine, but there is still this crash report every 10 sec. I can't say if it is now different to the ones before, but i copied here above.

(sorry for cross posting)

What i didn't so far:

i didn't run a repair of the Hard Drive and Permissions.

However, i am still curious what exactly causes the crash report every 10sec....

This is as far as I got: http://www.zteusa.com/support_page/

If you remember the particular USB device you were using, you will be able to get farther than I did.

thanks, but i can't say which stick it was, since i don't have that stick anymore and it was re-branded by my mobile provider...
