Helper never starts - connect

Gilles9

Hello,



every time I log bac in my user account



I get the red dot, as the helper does not strats, activate itself, or connect or link with the extension



this prevents me from using shortcuts



very annoying



I repair permissions, ran Disk Warrior

use Agile troubleshootin application



No solution



the only way to get it going is to start the 1P application

I use 3.9.2 from the MAS



Thanks

Can you confirm for me that the option to "Keep helper running…" is CHECKED in 1Password's preferences?

Yes I confirm it was



and I tried to disable it, close 1P app, restart 1P app, reselect, and re-close 1P app

without any success



I also removed the extension and re-installed it



I now reverted to the non-MAS version 3.8.9b2 to be able to work



before I made a report (in case you ask for it)



any further suggestions ?

Hey Gilles,



I am a bit confused since you said you reverted to "the non-MAS version 3.8.9b2". However, 3.8.9.b2 is a beta version of the browser extension not the 1Password application. This is unrelated to the Helper or its ability to run on Login.



Please do email us a fresh, current [url="http://help.agilebits.com/1Password3/diagnostics_report.html"]Diagnostics Report[/url] if you are still having trouble. If you have reverted to 1Password.app 3.8.x and the problem does not exist, we will obviously not be able to troubleshoot it. But if you are running 1Password 3.9.x and having the problem, we would love to take a look. You can email the report to support AT agilebits.com.



Thanks!

Gilles9

Sorry

version 3.8.12 beta 4 for the App



I am emailing the report



Thanks

My sincerest apologies for the confusion, Gilles. You ticket was accidentally marked as closed, so it slipped through the cracks. This should not have happened.



Sadly, it appears that you are being affected by a bug we have reported to Apple in which 1Password is unable to register the Helper to launch on startup.





Please [b]uncheck[/b] "Keep helper running to enable extension features" in 1Password's preferences.

Please make sure that you disabled that setting before proceeding. Once you have uncheck the "Keep helper running to enable extension features" setting:



1. In Finder, select [b]Go > Go to Folder[/b] from the menu bar.

2. Copy and paste the following path and then press Return:

[CODE]

/Applications/1Password.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/

[/CODE]

3. Open System Preferences.

4. On the "Users & Groups" pane, select the "Login Items" tab for your account.

5. Drag "1Password Helper"" from the Finder window to the "Login Items" list.

Once 1Password Helper is listed in your Login Items, restart your Mac.

I'm having the same issue with the Mac App Store version on my MacBook Pro, but not on my iMac (both running current version of Lion). I'll give the workaround a shot.



Khad - do you know if this will impact anything down the line should Apple fix the bug or a workaround gets baked into the software? Will we have to go back and remove the Login Item?

[color=#282828][size=4]Welcome to the forums, Matt. I am sorry that you are also experiencing this problem.

I believe that would be the best course of action. This is something we are still investigating, so I can't say for certain just yet.
