Mail Can't Open & com.apple.internetaccount process hogging 100% CPU

Desperately seeking answers after Mavericks install..
My mail crashed and now won't open at all. I've tried most (if not all) the suggestions posted by others.  Haven't tried deleting and reinstalling mail yet, as this will be my last resort since I have a work account in it that is not on IMAP.
And another troubling issue is my macbook's fan is going crazy and feels like its overheating.
Looking at "Activity Monitor" I see a process "com.apple.internetaccounts" that is taking 100% CPU and 1.6GB of memory!!
No idea what this process is and can't seem to quit it.
PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks in advance

@Drewli77 yup that's it. When Mail opened I chose Google/Gmail and let Mail set the account up for me.
Before doing that I had noticed com.apple.internetaccounts hogging the CPU. I went into System Preferences > Internet Accounts, waited 10 minutes for the spinning ball to stop, then deleted the Google account in there. There was only one Google account in there, despite the fact that I have four Google accounts set up in Mac Mail. Anyway this one account seemed to be what was slowing down that preference pane. After deleting Accounts.plist I re-added my accounts in Mail, which added them to the Internet Accounts preference pane, but now that preference pane (and Mail) open just fine without hogging resources.
What annoys me is the fact that hitting Delete on a message sends it to Trash, which in Mavericks corresponds to Gmail's Trash, meaning it gets purged every month (regardless of the setting you choose in Mac Mail). I've been using Option-Delete to Archive it, but I wish I could just use Delete for that, since I always Archive and rarely Trash messages. I would set another folder to be used for Trash, but sadly, all of the options under Mailbox > "Use this mailbox for" are greyed out.

  • Can't open com.apple.iwork.pages..alt-document

    Just updated my iMac to Mavericks along with from iWork '09 to the newest Pages (5.2), Numbers (3.2) and Keynote (6.2). Somehow the vast majority of all my iWork documents got  converted to "com.apple.iwork.pages.alt-document".  Nothing but Preview will open them. Same for the Numbers documents. For instance, when I try to open the Pages Document called "Cleaning Requirements", I get a pop-up box that says... "\U201CCleaning Requirements\U201Dcan\U2019t be opened."  I've right-clicked on the document and tried to open it with the older iWorks Pages app (4.3) with no luck.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you...

    Really strange.
    Any other details you can give?
    Did any Pages '09 files translate successfully?
    Do you still have your original files? You will be much better off continuing working in Pages '09 even if you did not have these problems, Pages 5.2 is a PITA.

  • How can I open an Apple App account for downloading free apps?  I will not let me open a new account without a sim card.

    I just bought a used 1st Generation Apple iPad 64 GB, 3G. How can I open an Apple App account?  I am trying to download a free app and it says I have to have an account, however, everytime I try to set up a new account I can fill only fill out some of the information but then the screen goes black and I cannot proceed with the account.  At one point it said "no sim card" and I am not sure where one would go if I had one.  Do you need a sim card to download free apps?  Why won't it let me set up an Apple Account?  Any suggestions?

    I can think of no reason at all why you need a sim card to creat an Apple ID. Try this first - reboot the iPad and reset the memory.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Afte the iPad starts up again, follow the directions in this support article - exactly - to creat the account without a credit card.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    IF ... You are signed into another Apple ID on the iPad you will have to sign out of that ID in order to create a new one. Settings>Store - you can sign out there.
    You MUST try to download a free app in order to start the process off correctly. If you were using an email address with another ID that you already created, you will have to have another email address to associate the new ID with.

    Lanny here are the startup key sequences on wired keyboards to know for future reference:
    SHIFT - safe boot.
    command-S single user mode to run fsck
    command-R to run a recovery boot.
    command-option-P-R to reset the PRAM on Macs younger than 4 years, or whose PRAM battery is younger.
    command-option-O-F to boot into open firmware.
    D key to boot hardware test on an Intel Mac - for pre-July 20, 2011 Macs, this means having the original installer discs.
    Option key - Startup Manager.
    Option = Alt key on Windows keyboards.
    Command key may be Windows key on Windows keyboards, or cloverleaf or Apple logo key on Apple keyboards.
    Other startup sequences are here:

    can i open my apple account without credit card?

    If you follow the instructions on this page when creating the account (the instructons won't work with existing accounts) then you shouldn't need to enter credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    e.g. if currently logged into an account then log out of it, find a free app in the store and click on its free 'price' :
    Then click on 'create Apple id' on the popup that you get :
    I tried it a few days ago in response to another thread and I got the 'none' option on the payments screen

    i restored my iPad 2 one week ago and I can't open my apple ID I tried like 50 times and I went to the support page and they didn't help me.
    IF I'll go to Apple store, could they reset my iPad?

    Did you buy this iPad from somebody else? If you did purchase it second hand and it was not erased properly, you cannot activate it no matter how many times you restore the device. The original owner has to erase it using these instructions.

  • Java process take 100% cpu

    Hello,
    I have a webapp running on Tomcat 5.0.28/RHEL 3.0. After some time (approximatively 1 hour), a java process take 100% cpu load and never stop, but the application do nothing.
    Some detail on my configuration :
    Distribution : Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0 (updated)
    Kernel 2.4.21-37.0.1.ELsmp
    Glibc 2.3.2-95.37
    JVM : JRockit 1.4.2.08 (the last one)
    Tomcat : 5.0.28
    Server : 2*Xeon 3GHz HT, 2Go RAM
    JVM param : -Xmx:256m -Xms:256m
    Thanks for your answers ...

    Try taking thread dump (send a SIGQUIT to JRockit using "kill"). If you
    get a thread dump, the VM is alive, and it's probably your java program
    that's broken. In that case, make a JRA recording to see what's happening:
    http://e-docs.bea.com/jrockit/docs142/usingJRA/jra.html
    The methods pane is probably what you're looking for.
    If you don't get any thread dump when sending a SIGQUIT to JRockit,
    come back here.
