10.4: Fix Compressor background process error
Authored by: twocik on Jan 29, '07 12:22:59AM
Here's the fix


***Note if you're not experienced in the Terminal, then I'd recommend to ask before doing so, you're at your own risk***

I disabled a startup item, but now I want to use it

If you disabled a startup item but you're now certain that it's associated with a trusted application, you can install the application again. Or, if you're an advanced user (and an administrator) who's familiar with Terminal, you can use the following steps instead of reinstalling the application (we're using "TrustedApp" as our example application; please substitute it with your trusted application's name):

Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities).
Type the following line, then press Return:

cd /Library/StartupItems/TrustedApp.app/

Type the following line, then press Return:

sudo rm .disabled

From the Apple menu, choose Restart.
When you see the alert about the startup item you want to use, click Fix.
Click Restart in the second alert. After your computer restarts, the item should work as expected.
