[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1922060, member: 204485"] garmp, what exactly does this notification say? Do you only see it at startup? When you say 'startup" do you mean you turn your iMac off every day and "startup" every morning? Or perhaps you mean when it wakes from sleep? Most of us never turn our devices off, especially desktop devices. If its only when you turn it on, with respect, I would suggest you stop turning it off and ignore it when you do. Alternatively, the four 32bit files/apps are likely the culprits, you can attempt to root them out but locating them for removal will probably require an app like Find Any File. Thomas Tempelmann developed this great little free app available from here; [URL="https://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/"]Thomas Tempelmann - Find Any File[/URL] Able to find and display all files, including "invisible" files and trash them direct from the search results window. We can see from your screen shot that the files are a couple of years old, two from unknown developers and they would be my first suspects but I think you could safely remove all four. **When you right click on any item in the FAF window and select trash, note it will stay in the window but it's location will change, to Trash. Try restarting and see if the notification appears. If not you can play it safe and leave those files in the Trash for a few days and if no problems arise delete them. [/QUOTE]
