Q: Endless crash reports

2010 MacBook Pro Unibody 17 inch/Mountain Lion

 

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion I have had many issues not least of which are many apps that stop responding - some apps that stop immediately (like the App Store) and some that stop when I try something specific (editing a contact, accessing Security/Privacy settings, copying to clipboard form Mail etc).

 

Now I find that in the  console that I have an endless stream of crach reports - 5 every minute of:

 

com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.crashreporter.writereport.crash

com.apple.message.signature: accountsd

com.apple.message.signature2: UNBUNDLED ||| 182.2 (182.2)

com.apple.message.signature3: D65845B3E2F1EE4A81201E57913991FE

com.apple.message.result: NO

com.apple.message.summarize: YES

 

hundreds of these (just a few at random):

 

([628]) Mail(628) deny file-read-data /Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

CGSGetWindowTags: Invalid window 0x219

CGSBindWindow: Unable to obtain window information

 

and these:

 

Error while opening database Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=512 "The file couldn’t be saved." UserInfo=0x7fd41243d0f0 {reason=Failed to create file; code = 2}, {

    reason = "Failed to create file; code = 2";

}

Creating new database...

 

and that is just a few that get repeated several times every minute..

 

I rebooted into safe mode and am still getting reams of the entries. I have verified the disk and permissions and all reports as being fine. And mostly the machine seems to work except for the above apps and other occasional 'not responding' situations.

 

Can anyone tell me in simple terms where to start?

All help and advice appreciated...

    OK - not sure what actually cnsistutes a 'crash report' so - at random - would that be this:

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.

    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:

    find . $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) -exec ls -Odel {} \;

    Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.

    The usual amount of output from this command is about 30 lines, below what you entered, sometimes less. If you get much more than that, don't post it; just reply that it happened. If you get only a few lines, post them — the text, please, not a screenshot.

    If any personal information appears in the output, edit before posting, but don’t remove the context.

    Wow. I think it s safe to say that the result of that was to list many thousands of files... it just kept scrolling on and on. I have retained the results if they are of any value...

    I am intrigued as to what this means and if there is anything that can be done..

    Thanks for coing along

    The procedure below will unlock and reset the permissions of a user's files under OS X 10.7.4 or later, including 10.8 or later. If you're running an earlier version of 10.7, update to the latest version first. This procedure should not be used under OS X versions older than 10.7.4.

    Back up all data before you begin.

    Part A

    Enter the following shell command in the same way as above (without typing):

    sudo chown -R $UID $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $_

    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.

    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.

    Part B

    Step 1

    Click the Finder icon in the Dock. A Finder window will open.

    Step 2

    Press the following key combinations, in the order given:

    Command-3

    Shift-command-H
    Command-I (the letter "I" as in "Info")

    The Info window of your home folder will open.

    Step 3

    Click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the window and authenticate with the name and login password of an administrator on the system. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Step 4

    In the Sharing & Permissions section of the window, verify that you have "Read & Write" privileges. If not, use the "+" and "-" buttons in the lower left corner to make the necessary changes.

    Step 5

    By default, the groups "staff" and "everyone" have "Read Only" privileges. With those settings, the files at the top level of your home folder will be readable by other local users. You can change the privileges to "No Access" if you wish, but then your Public and Drop Box folders will be inaccessible to others. Most likely, you don't need to change these settings.

    Step 6

    If there are entries in the Sharing & Permissions list for users or groups besides "me," "staff," and "everyone," delete them.

    Step 7

    Click the gear icon at the bottom of the Info window and select Apply to enclosed items... from the drop-down menu. Confirm. The operation may take several minutes to complete. When it does, close the Info window.

    Good day Linc

     

    Thanks for sticking with me here.

    Well I did all that and I am afraid it appears to have changed nothing.

     

    I do understand what you were doing there with the chown and chflags. But I am puzzled by the fact that you suggested the command will take a 'noticeable amount of time'. In fact it took about 15 seconds before returning the prompt.

     

    Likewise the 'apply to all enclosed items' didn't appear to take any time at all although I am not actually sure how you can tell that.

     

    I performed the 'find' command as well and am still getting what looks like the entire contents of my user folders - some 238,000+ items! And the console is still churning out log files at high speed.

     

    is there a 'stage 2' by any hopeful chance?

    Andy

     

    [Update] if you understand these things, would a crash report from one of the not-responding apps (like 'Secutiry/Privacy' pref panel or the App Store) be any use to paste in here? and is it worth noting that to date the ONLY apps I have these problems with are Apple apps. I have seen no problems with third party apps at all.

    I'd call 15 seconds a noticeable amount of time. Please post a sample of the output of the find command -- no more than a dozen lines.

    Well these seem to be representative of the folders - at least the pre-supplied OSX folders:

     

    drwx------+ 7 andy  staff  - 238 17 Jun  2011 ./Library/Audio

    0: group:everyone deny delete

    drwx------+ 2 andy  staff  - 68 11 Dec  2007 ./Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers

    0: group:everyone deny delete

    drwx------+ 5 andy  staff  - 170 11 Dec  2007 ./Library/Audio/Plug-Ins

    0: group:everyone deny delete

     

    Some taken at random:

     

    -r--r--r--  1 andy  staff  - 4316  7 Jan  2009 ./Web Development/SPF-4.0/icons/Turkish/two-tr/.svn/text-base/register.png.svn-base

    Interestingly I now notice that the vast majority of the list is centered on 3 folders - including the ./Sites/ folder with the other two being folders where I store archived material.

     

    Is that enough or would you like some more?

    Quit Terminal when a line ending in a dollar sign appears.

    Well that certainly limited the 'find' task to a couple of dozen lines - all folders!

     

    But has sadly changed nothing else. Still have apps dying and still have reams of console entries - including that recurring set every 10 seconds....

     

    I should have mentioned this earlier but I only just remembered it when I re-booted. I don't know if it might be relevant...

     

    I had asked about the apps not responding on a different thread. (here in fact: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19345480#19345480. )The first suggestion was to re-install Mountain Lion which I duly did.

     

    The second suggestion was to delete some preferences and they had me create a root user which I did although not totally happily. Anyway - that also failed to fix anything and put the preference file back. But - the interesting thing is that if I try and log in now as 'root' (and I DO remember the password ) it fails. Gives that little unhelpful jiggle.... Relevant?

     

    Thanks again

    Andy

    Launch the Console application.

     

    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.

     

    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

     

    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

    That's a little hard to do as the window is filling up pretty quickly but I will give it a go. Not sure how much data you want but let's try this:

     

    FIRST: These are getting dimped into the console window as mor eor less a batch. These get repeated every 20 seconds or so as a group of 6 entries:

     

    1 - 02/09/2012 19:31:52.737 accountsd[1811]: Error while opening database Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=512 "The file couldn’t be saved." UserInfo=0x7ffb7420b250 {reason=Failed to create file; code = 2}, {

        reason = "Failed to create file; code = 2";

    }

     

    Creating new database...

     

    2 - Second Error while creating new database Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=512 "The file couldn’t be saved." UserInfo=0x7ffb74008490 {reason=Failed to create file; code = 2}, {

        reason = "Failed to create file; code = 2";

    }

     

    3 - (com.apple.accountsd[1811]) Job appears to have crashed: Abort trap: 6

     

    4 - (com.apple.accountsd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

     

    5 - Saved crash report for accountsd[1811] version 182.2 (182.2) to /Users/andy/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/accountsd_2012-09-02-193153_Andys-Ma cBook.crash

     

    6 - Removing excessive log: file://localhost/Users/andy/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/accountsd_2012-09-02 -192824_Andys-MacBook.crash

     

    SECOND: So cleared the console window again and tried to open the app store application. As far as I can tell these were then dumped in bit I may have missed something in the rush! This is a group of 5 entries:

     

    1 - memorystatus_thread: idle exiting pid 1446 [distnoted]

     

    2 - (com.apple.printtool.agent[1387]) Exited: Killed: 9

     

    3 - 02/09/2012 19:34:50.000 kernel[0]: memorystatus_thread: idle exiting pid 1387 [printtool]

     

    4 - (com.apple.pbs[1381]) Exited: Killed: 9

     

    5 - memorystatus_thread: idle exiting pid 1381 [pbs]

     

     

    Any help? (and thanks once more)

    In the Finder, hold down the option key and select Go Library from the menu bar. The Library subfolder of your home folder will open. Inside that folder, there should be a folder named "Accounts," and inside that a file named "Accounts3.sqlite." If the Accounts folder doesn't exist, create it. See whether the messages about accountsd stop or change.
