GFXCARDSTATUS MAC OS X

So, how do we fix this? Well, it’s very simple.

However, we received information from the developer, Cody Krieger, that failing to load on boot (despite the option being selected) could be caused by the ‘Load gfxCardStatus at startup’ option being checked while in one location (for example ‘Downloads’) and then the application being moved to another location (such as ‘Applications’). Usually, for applications such as this, users will attempt to run the application from the ‘Downloads’ folder, see if it is for them, and then if they decide to keep it, close it and move it to the ‘Applications’ directory. The application file itself is (usually) downloaded straight to the ‘Downloads’ folder. When gfxCardStatus is initially downloaded, it isn’t an application that has to be ‘installed’ as such – there is no installer.

Now, sometimes users might experience that gfxCardStatus does not automatically start when booted, despite this option being selected. Then the preferences pane will be displayed, where you can see whether or not you have the ‘Load gfxCardStatus at startup’ option selected or not: You can check whether you have this option selected in your preferences by clicking on the gfxCardStatus icon at the top of your screen – usually an ‘i’ or an ‘n’:Īfter clicking on the icon a drop down menu will appear, on which you then select ‘Preferences’: This tutorial is for you if you have selected the option in gfxCardStatus preferences to ‘Load gfxCardStatus at startup’ option but gfxCardStatus still doesn’t start when you startup / boot your computer.
