Q: LinkedIn in Internet accounts duplicated 100x - and growing - Is there a mass delete for internet accounts?
LinkedIn in Internet accounts duplicated 100x - and growing - Is there a mass delete for internet accounts?
Somehow LinkedIn is listed as a disabled account over 100X in my internet preferences. Same account, same email, all disabled. I think this is causing the 100% cpu utilization for accountsd process. Either way deleting manually would take hours if not days (about 30 sec per delete) and since I never added that many, clearly there is some corrupt file somewhere.
Deleting com.apple.internetacounts.plist does NOT fix this.
I've had the problem for about a year and have not found a solution.
I would be perfectly happy to nuke ALL accounts.
I have this on 4 Macs that are all linked to my apple ID. When I buy a new mac, as soon as I set up iCloud, it auto populates with the 500+ linkedin accounts and accountsd goes to 100% cpu.
About ready to kill off the apple ID I've had for over a decade since there does not seem to be a way to reset all the accounts tied to it via iCloud.
Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 8 Core 64GB Ram
