Accountsd Mac cpu is high

to be honest, i don't think Apple or someone from Support is reading here. i'm pi**ed off, really...can't work in a proper way...

we should all call the support and tell them to check this post, or send them mail or something else.

I have the same problem with my Macbook pro 2017. I did a factory reset and installed the combo update.

However it did not work, the problem came back yesterday. I had to disable permanently all accounts including my apple ID. Shame on you apple!

I have the same problem. My macBook is stuck (sometimes only the Mail app) and access to IMAP or SMTP accounts is rejected. It got even worse after I changed the provider for one of my e-mail-accounts. The credentials are the same — only the SMTP and IMAP hosts have changed. That was too much for accountd and Mail. I've got to delete the whole account on my Mac and set it up freshly. Still — sometimes Mail cannot connect to the mail server.

Hello,

same issue here but keeps going away and coming back ... not sure its something I am doing or just a few forced reboots.

Regarding your feedback, when you installed the Combo update were your already in 10.15.7 ? From my understanding if one is already at that version this update is just a reinstallation of what one already has right ?

By the way a few days ago when I removed an exchange account where I was syncing my contacts from the issue went away ... until it came back today. Again not sure it had to do with removing that account or just some reboots...

This is not the time for Apple fanboyism.

this is not a once-a-month blue screen error, this bricks up the computer and makes it unusable. Logging out of apple ID does not works for me anymore. My only option is to rename the sqlite file and possibly messing up the icloud sync feature until the next update.

everybody knows Catalina was full of bugs and did not contribute to our perception of what a Apple product should look like. This bug was the last drop in the bucket.

(by the way, if there is a problem on Windows, msft at least acknowledges it ASAP sometimes in hours! Apple is yet to speak about this subject!)

Its works (ONYX)!!

Thanks

Sure,……… install Windows !

I installed the combo update to solve the problem. Although it seems that the accountsd has disappeared for two days, it shows up again today. I do not think this solution is a stable one.

thanks mate, this help. but I only remove the file which affected to my mac,

activity monitor -> accountsd -> command+I -> open files and port

nope sorry 😀 i think we should all move to twitter and sent tweets to @AppleSupport so that they understand that people need help.

I thought they were reading this site.

Another option is to send a bug report via feedback.

Same here after upgrading to 10.15.7 on my Mac Mini 2018 nothing works. accountsd is permanently using over 500% CPU and Safari is dead. Same here nothing works.

Also I have noticed that the keyboard shurtcuts don't work at that time.

I solved it installing this update:

It was impossible to use my MBP 16 ... difficult to download that using safari either (I had to use chrome)

Regards

I have the same issue. On a Mac Pro Late 2019. Tried the fixes on this page. Did not help. The Apple ID section in the system preferences is totally unresponsive - any mouse our keyboard input take minutes to be taken into account.

Same problem. I honestly haven't stopped having problems with my Macbook pro since I bought it. Heating, process problems, instability in the operating system, security problems. Limitations with the hardware. Definitely the last Apple product I buy. How i miss old apple
