Q: Not responding processes in Actvity Monitor: callservicesd, coreaudiod, com.apple.geod, identityservicesd, and icloud helper


whenever I open Activity Monitor in Yosemite release version, there are three services that are maked red as not responding. They are callservicesd, coreaudiod, and com.apple.geod, icloud helper, and identityservicesd. I have yosemite on my system. It has been upgraded from Mavericks 10.9.5


calling from Mac via iPhone to another phone work fine. I can also log in to iCloud from System Preferences and manage my account. No other malfunction seen other than these not responding services in Activity Monitor

What are they? And what go wrong?

I have just filed BR and this problem is also reported here http://www.drwingnut.info/?p=13805

Any comment and fis please

    i ai have tried to delete com.apple.GEO.plist from Preferences folder then reboot. I also deleted many MiDI device from Audio MIDI Setup that are related to Premiere Pro an Prelude that I have already removed from my Mac long time ago.

     

    AFter reboot, it seems that all the not responding processes stop occurring. Will check back and post again For update. Also I do not have Digidesign or avid plugin on my system.

    Not responding processes come back again even after deleting com.apple.geo.plist and many midi device. Seems that Apple has to sort out this bugs for all of us. I will keep my finger cross.

     

    my complain is every year Apple come up with new version of OSX and so many bugs and problems are there. Will Apple slow down and get to rock solid OSZ as before? Do we need a new OS version evert year for the sake of having one will full of bugs?

    If you do not have sound I believe if you reinstall hear you should be fine. If problem comes back then Google plug ins for.mac and install those.

    Cubelibre,

     

    In my case, with yosemite 10.10.1, I disabled the iPhone Cellular Calls option in FaceTime Preferences on my iMac. This action eliminated the problems with callservicesd, coreaudiod, and identitysericesd not responding. The com.apple.geod is still not responding. I never had an issue with iCloud  helper.

     

    Perhaps someone can confirm that turning off iPhone Cellular Calls option in FaceTime Preferences solves the problem with the three daemons that I mentioned. I'm still trying to find an answer for the com.apple.geod daemon not responding.

    I Have checked with the Dev of Hear app. The dev confirmed that Hear has nothing at all to do with these responding processes. Coreaudiod is support for bluetooth and AirPlay. So thiis problem must be fixed by Apple. I have filed bug report but not response from Apple yet.

    It also seems that coreaudiod, identityservicesd, callservicesd run OK when you first boot up Mac. But as you sleep or hibernate it, the processes will be responding after Wakeup. Seems that problem is related to sleep and wake feature too

     

    hope Apple get this fix soon.

    Maybe it's not a problem of the app but deleting hear I have no more problems

    Hi guys,

     

    Read this blog post. This is how I solved the issue. http://nisalm21.wordpress.com

     

    Hope this helps

     

    I read this.. and it helped.. kind of.  The blog posting: http://nisalm21.wordpress.com/2014/10/31/mac-os-x-yosemite-handy-tips/

     

    Said to do the following:

     

    Solution for heavy RAM usage and non-responding services

    1. Find Digidesign CoreAudio.plugin in the following path : /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL
    2. Delete the plug-in and remove it from the trash.
    3. Reboot the system.

    I didn't have a Digidesign CoreAudio plugin.. but I DID have a program called "Hear" installed.

     

    http://www.prosofteng.com/products/hear.php

     

    After uninstalling and restarting the computer coreaudiod was no longer in a "stopped responding" state.

     

    The only OTHER process stuck in "Not Responding" is com.apple.geod - now I just have to figure out what's messing with that and remove it.

     

    Suggestions?

    Same as Casey-al.  com.apple.geod has shown up as not responding since Yosemite upgrade (day after I bought my refurbished Macbook Air).

     

    Reboots, etc., don't solve the problem.  No particularly abnormal behavior noticed, but if there's a fix - as I assume it exists to do something useful - I'd like to fix it....

    The issue is not with hear its with what ever plug in you have on your computer. I didn't have hear I had digi-design.
