Update 10.10.3 Crashes constantly

Update: I've done some testing and the problem is the iCloud syncing. This crashing problem I'm having went away when I turned off iCloud sync.. Hopefully this will help localize this problem. I must say I've been looking thru all the problems with this 10.10.3 update and it looks like a disaster.

I have entered this iCloud crashing problem in the Feedback site you suggested. I am very disappointed with the bugginess and performance of the new Photos sync to iCloud. I have to turn iCloud off completely just so I can use my computer without randomly crashing to a reboot..

I've installed the latest update after 10.10.3 and I still have the problem if iCloud sync is turned on in Photos the iMac crashes. I can't be the only one with this ongoing issue.. If anyone else has this problem please chime in.. The usefulness of my iMac has been reduced.

Thanks Thomas, I have not tried that. I'll try it and report back to this topic. Also you are making me think, I am running Total Finder. Maybe this is related?

Eric,

You did bring up a good point about the console log.. Now I can see there is something wrong with iCloud starting this. iCloud is doing some kind of duplicate action and some name = "null". That does not sound good..

Can someone from Apple see this????

I also found this information in the Library/Logs/CrashReporter/com.apple.netowrking.discoveryd.log. This is the entries as the crash was happening.

What is this remote control thing?? What ever it was it never triggered before the 10.10.3 update.

If anyone else is crashing all the time open the console app and see if you see the same....

This time I uninstalled TotalFinder and disabled Time Machine opened photos and let the computer sit. After about an hour it crashed again. Here is the Console log again showing the problem to be in cloudd and photosd.

Thomas,

Mine is still crashing if I have the iCloud sync turned on in Photos. I could not find a com.apple.finder.plist to delete. I have Yosemite 10.10.3. Where did you find yours?

I just found it and deleted it.. I'll try again....
