10.9.4 update - installd starts and consumers all RAM

After updating my iMac to 10.9.4, two things happened:
1) com.apple.internetaccounts process blew up, which I managed to fix by following the instructions here: There was an error in Internet Accounts preference pane.
2) Now every time I start the computer, installd process starts up and starts consuming an increasing amount of memory, to the point where OS X tells me application RAM has run out. Killing the process causes the problem to go away, but obviously the process comes back on next restart. I have multiple accounts on the machine, and for some reason the problematic process only appears on my main account - if I restart and use another account, no problematic process appears. I guess I can fix the issue by migrating my data to another account on the computer (annoying but doable) but I'd love to hear if someone knows any debugging instructions on how to figure out what's triggering the process, as that'd save me a couple hours of wrangling with files.

Since the issue is specific to your user account and not others, assuming that they're all admin accounts, you can proceed in two ways. One is to log into on of those good accounts, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything on that list from the original account's Preferences folder into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one or more at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting ones. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.

  • Update Contract Start and End dates via BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2

    Hi Experts.
    We are successfully using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 to create sales order.
    Only problem is that the contract start and end date do not get updated.
    We are passing that in ORDER_HEADER_in-CT_VALID_F and ORDER_HEADER_IN-CT_VALID_T.
    After debugging, I found that there is one more table SALES_CONTRACT_IN in SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE. Updating the values in that table works.
    But the problem is this table is not available in BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. How to update Contract start and end dates from this FM ?
    I could not find anything in the search of this forums. So I guess this is not an issue and I am doing something wrong. Can someone suggest to me please?
    Thanks in adv.
    Aishi

    Are you creating a contract or a sales order?

    i recently updated my iphone and lost all my media as my computer did not have enough memory to restore and an error occured. How do i get them back.

    Media and contacts are NOT part of the iPhone backup. Media should already be in your iTunes library and contacts should be in whatever address book or cloud service you were syncing them to. Just re-sync them to the phone.

    Without a backup on iCloud, there needs to be another device using the same @icloud address that is syncing to the notes.  Without that, there is no way to go back in time to create a backup before performing a major update.

  • I recently updated to Mavericks and now all my e-mail accounts won't send

    I recently updated to Mavericks and now all my e-mail accounts won't send. They all receive ok but when I send I get a message "sender address rejected by server" and " Authentification required" The passwords are still intact

    Check the Mail settings for your account, especially the SMTP (outgoing) address, type of authentication, and entry of the proper email username and password. You can do this when you select the account then under the outgoing mail server use the dropdown menu to select the Edit option. Select your outgoing configuration in the list. Check the settings below, then click on the Advanced tab and check those settings.
    If all is OK, then I suggest your reinstall Mavericks:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.

    If it is not possible to get them re-installed by inserted your memory card in. Snake is avilable as a .sis file on Nokia Web site support for N95, this can be installed on N73 too. My phone is APAC code,the rest just hidden under download program you can connect to cataloque by eGPRS and you will find a SpaceImpact for free and Sudoku is there to DL but have to pay for full, anyway very cheap.
    Hope you will find them too.Message Edited by delixis on 06-Nov-200706:59 AM
