Apple Mac and processes

I have killed and disabled these process that were eating my memory. They do not seam to impair any required functionality of the programs they are linked to.

Note: commence at your own risk. We take no responsibility what so ever.

Disable the iCalAlarmScheduler Process:

Open iCal
goto iCal->Preferences
and untick "Turn off alarms when iCal is not open"
that is it, the process will terminate on its own.

Disable iTunesHelper Process:

Open a terminal and do the following:

$ps -xww
$kill -9 TheProcessNumberForiTunesHelper
$cd "/Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/iTunesHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/"
$sudo chmod -wrx iTunesHelper


Disable Lexmark X73 process:

If you have a Lexmark X73 printer then the monitor uses the CPU and memory for no apparent reason.

Disable Lexmark X73 Monitor:

$ps -xww
$kill -9 TheProcessNumberForLexmarkX73Monitor
$cd "/Applications/Lexmark X73/X73 Scan & Copy.app/Contents/Monitor/"
$chmod -wrx "Lexmark X73 Monitor"



To return any of the disabled programs back to normal do a
$sudo chmod 775 TheFileName
