How do I stop a particular service from running?

You can stop with this command:

$ launchctl unload com.wondershare.mobilegodaemon

Additionally if you want to completely delete it, you have to search for it on /Library/LaunchDaemons/, /Library/LaunchAgents/ and ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ to delete the configuration file, that should be called com.wondershare.mobilegodaemon.


For what it's worth, in February of this year a moderator on Mobilego's forum offered a software download to someone who posted about difficulties ridding a Mac of this digital zebra mussel.

It was only a little unsettling to see the typo she made:

Hi, here is a tool for you to uninstall it completely. You just need >>to run it on your mac and then MobileGo can be installed.

Link to the thread where the download is: Uninstall on MacOS
Direct link: MobileGoRemover.app.zip


Look for, and delete, the file the with name com.wondershare.mobilegodaemon.plist in one of the following folders:

  • ~/Library/LaunchDaemons
  • ~/Library/LaunchAgents
  • /Library/LaunchDaemons
  • /Library/LaunchAgents

After restarting your Mac, the service will no longer be run.

You can also use the command sudo launchctl unload com.wondershare.mobilegodaemon in Terminal.app to stop the launchd job.
