Since yesterday, each time I start my Mac mini, the CPU is running 100%. The activity monitor shows accountsd is running high. The only way to solve it is sign out my Apple ID and restart the Mac. However, I am now unable to keep signed in, and therefore lose the iCloud services. Please help, this is a major bug!
Mac mini, macOS 10.15
Please read the following user tip and restate your question/problem in detail:Â
Writing an Effective Apple Support Communities Question - Apple Community Â
When did this start? Was it after some update or upgrade? If so which one?
Have you run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up" or anti-virus apps on your Mac? If so which ones?
Boot into Safe Mode (How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support) by booting with the Shift key held down and check there to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing.Â
Try starting computer in Safe Mode ( Shift key at Startup ). Let it stay in Safe Mode for maybe 15 minutes. Restart in Normal Mode
I have precisely the same bug! Please help
I have the same problem since a few days, both on my MacBook and my Mac Mini. Please someone help us to fix this asap!
As Old Toad suggested as did I earlier , Safe Mode is a good solution. I did on retina MBA 2018 yesterday because of this 10.15.7 update from 10.15.6 and it solved the issue.
