Yesterday, Sugarsync prompted me to install an update. After installation, it complained parts of it was installed separately and refused to run. I uninstalled it via /Applications/SugarSync\ Manager.app/Contents/Resources/SugarSyncUninstaller.command
Then I did a fresh install. Still no luck, it kept crashing. I fired up the Console to see if I can find any errors. I found some errors related to xfsmond, particularly:
10/11/11 5:43:46.788 PM [0x0-0x57057].com.SugarSync.Manager: launchctl: Error unloading: com.sharpcast.xfsmond
I fixed the permissions of the Launch Daemon for it via
sudo chmod 644 /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.sharpcast.xfsmond.plist
And loaded it via
launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.sharpcast.xfsmond.plist
Voila, now SugarSync Manager runs fine, no more crashes. Hope this post helps someone…
Help! I have the same issue, but don’t understand what to do!
1. Run the Console, it is under Utilities folder in Applications.
2. If you have the same error, run Terminal, it is also under Utilities.
3. In the Terminal window, type in:
sudo chmod 644 /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.sharpcast.xfsmond.plist
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.sharpcast.xfsmond.plist
Then simply run the SugarSync Manager. That’s it.
I had the same problem. Similar fix.
OSX Lion, 10.7.3
SugarSync Manager 1.9.50.86491.20120221
Installed fine; ran fine.
Then I logged out.
Logged back in, and SugarSync Manager would start: splash screen then manager window, and immediately vanish.
Turns out permissions for /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.sharpcast.xfsmond.plist were fine (-rw-r–r–), but ownership was set to root:admin (vs. root:wheel).
sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.sharpcast.xfsmond.plist
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.sharpcast.xfsmond.plist
and everything is well.
Thanks for the tip.
Thanks you guys …. followed Thoms process and saved my life!
