Question

Every time I start my laptop, the HTC Sync Manager is launched automatically. I don't mean the automounter which is started when you connect your phone. I mean the the HTC Sync Manager itself which is magically started and places its icon on the top of the screen:

enter image description here

Question: How can I turn off that the HTC Sync Manager is started on every reboot?

I'm running a MacBook Pro with 10.9.

Edit:

When I go to Preferences->Users&Groups->LoginItems then the HTC Manager does not appear there. The directory /Library/StartupItems/ is empty as well.

Edit:

I have made the folder content of certain startup daemons available as requested by Frizlab. Please find here the contents of the command

tree ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ /Library/LaunchAgents/ /Library/LaunchDaemons/ \
   /System/Library/LaunchAgents/ /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/

Additionally, I have reboot the MacBook without logging in and opened an ssh to it. It seems that the HTC application is started after the login. After I logged in, I find the following process

penny:~ patrick$ ps x | grep HTC
  232   ??  S      0:00.22 /Applications/HTC Sync Manager.app/Contents/Resources/HSMMonitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HSMMonitor -runMode autoLaunched
  401 s001  S+     0:00.00 grep HTC
Was it helpful?

Solution

Try

launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.nero.HSMMonitor.plist

OTHER TIPS

To disable HTC Sync Manager auto-mounting Launch terminal

Type
diskutil info /Volumes/HTC Sync Manager

Make a note of the Volume UUID.

Next
sudo vifs

Go to the bottom of the file
tap the i key

And paste the following
UUID=YOURVOLUMEUUID none hfs rw,noauto
Replacing YOURVOLUMEUUID with the one you made a note of earlier

Hit Esc Then type the following to save.

You will be using "vim" in case you need help with the editor.

Edit: For stopping applications from autostarting go to Preferences > Users & Groups, then click on your user and remove HTC Sync Manager from your Login Items.

You can also disable the autorun volume on the phone:

Settings > Apps > All > HTC Sync Manager

Tap "Disable", for good measure tap "Force stop" and "Clear data"

  1. Open Terminal

  2. cd /Applications/HTC\ Sync\ Manager.app/Contents/Resources/

  3. Rename HSMMonitor.app

    mv HSMMonitor.app HSMMonitor.bak.app
