Even on a Mac things can go awry. The nifty Liquid app was spewing out errors in the Console…
com.apple.xpc.launchd: (com.hyperwords.liquidwordsfree) Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.
Others have observed that just deleting the Liquid app will not remove the errors. You will need to dig a little deeper and delete…
com.hyperwords.liquidwordsfree from the Containers folder in your Library
~/Library/Containers
com.hyperwords.liquidwordsfree.plist from the Preferences folder in your Library
~/Library/Preferences
com.hyperwords.liquidwordsfree from the system’s…
/private/var/folders/vx/qbl8t4dn1dsbjqc4_67vymg80000gn
(that last bit may be different for you).
If you have trouble finding these folders the nifty PopClip app can, once you have selected the text, offer you a folder icon that will take you straight to the desired location.
Alternatively the nifty Hazel app will find all those extraneous files, when you have moved the main app to the Trash, and ask if you want to delete those too.
Once it is all cleared out a fresh install from the App Store and all is well again.
Today’s secret word is Nifty.
