More problems with securityd -- pegging CPU, not using much memory

Well, I'm at my wits end with this one. I'm going to probably have to do a very painful system restore tomorrow night if I can't come up with a solution.
The infamous 'securityd' process is at it again, this time it's pegging my CPU. It differs from other common problems in that it's hardly using any RAM at all (approx. 290KB)! Regardless, one of my CPU cores is maxed out dealing with it, and if I use the System Monitor to display information, the amount of Unix System Calls is rising at a laughable rate.
I've tried the common solution to the similar issue of deleting the /var/db/CodeEquivalenceDatabase, however in this case it does nothing. Upon reboot, 'securityd' immediately begins chewing up as much CPU time as it can get its hands on. The only way to stop it from doing so is to forcibly kill the process, which of course breaks functionality with anything that requires authentication.
This is becoming VERY annoying. Does anybody have a solution other than having to perform a System Restore? That's about the only option I have left, and I'm not very happy about it.

Hi - thanks for the quick reply - my router is normally on 24/7 and I have rarely seen it disconnect.  I only ever reboot the router if there is a problem.  It was 'suggested' by BT India after I called them this morning that I should reboot the router but other than moving it to plug into the main socket it hasn't been off since Monday when I logged the fault.
As you say the noise seems high - I wasn't even asked about this when I reported the fault - but it does not get any better if I plug into the master socket so I don't think it is an issue with the internal wiring.
The crux of my post is that:-
1> Support did not seem concerned in investigating WHY the profile dropped but just requested a reset of the profile
2> After the allotted time there has not been an improvement suggesting an underlying cause
3> IP profiles seem to cause more support issues than they resolve
4> How can I get the speed improved without waiting another 63 1/2 hours?

Chris Drew

  • Connection problems with D-LINK 300t (NOT using AE)

    Hi all,
    I bought the D-LINK 300t modem from apple and am having problems connecting it.
    I follow through the onscreen gui set up procedure, and that's all fine - the status tells me I'm connected, no problems. Network Connections and Network Diagnostics also tells me that I'm connected to the internet and that seemingly there are no problems.
    However, I cannot access any web pages at all. It just times out with Safari giving me the message that I'm not connected to the internet.
    I tried connecting the modem to my old G4 iMac and that didn't work either.
    I'm not using AE or any other wireless product, just connecting ADSL in and ethernet out.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    Still not having any joy with this ... I've bought a new modem/router and that is giving me the same problems. My Network Diagnostics is saying that I'm connected to the internet, but I can't open any web pages.
    The modem is saying that I'm connected.
    I just don't know what is wrong, or what to do next. The 'assist' button is not helping, nor is 'Network Diagnostics'. I feel like I'm missing something obvious but I just can't see it.
    If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it!
    Thanks.

  • I have the new iPad. Even with airplane mode on, my battery life is extremely limited. Is there a problem with the battery? I used to have the ipad2 and had no such problem.

    I have the new iPad. Even with airplane mode on, my battery life is extremely limited. Is there a problem with the battery? I used to have the ipad2 and had no such problem.

    What is your brightness setting & how many apps are open?
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    I encountered a problem with some client machines that use Firefox version 24ESR and IE8.
    Ajax requests of aspx pages from Firefox are getting the following error from the iis server (iis version 7.5):
    Bad Request - Request Too Long
    HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long.
    From analyzing the request that was sent to the server, I saw that the request consist of only the viewstate of the aspx page.
    I tried to disable the viewstate for one page and the server got the request correctly.
    I do not encounter any issues on these laptops with postback requests from Firefox or when running the same application with IE8.

    Sometimes that means that the page address sent is loo long.
    Check the link address you are using.
    I can't help you further and will send for more help.

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

    No bug. Just the way the .psd for the Scary Halloween template was put together.
    You are going to have to get into the .psd for the Scary Halloween template and rearrange the
    Layer Sets. Do you know how to do that? If not, I will give you very specific instructions on how to
    do that.
    You want the order of the Layer Sets to look like
    That is what worked for me just now to get the disc menu Preview to open to the main

  • Problems with Master-Detail Form not retrieving Detail Rows

    Portal 3.0.7.6.2 on NT
    I am having problems with a Master-Detail Form not retrieving Detail Rows. Sometimes it retrieves all, sometimes about 50%, the majority of the time it's not retrieving any. If it never retrieved any I would suspect that the 'join' condition was wrong but that isn't the case. I didn't have this problem with a prior MD Form I created. I have tried re-creating the MD Form but I get the same problem.
    Is anyone having similar problems/is this a know bug??
    Any help or thoughts are appreciated.

    I experienced performance problems. The simpiest MD form takes about 10 secs. to requery. I's not answer to your question, but there is more problems with this concept.

  • SOLMAN 7.0 problem with Stack16-question on note#1231975

    SOLMAN 7.0 problem with Stack16-question on note#1231975    
    I'm importing Stacks 16&17 into our Solution Manager 7.0 system
    and getting errors when importing the Java part in JSPM after the ABAP
    went in with no errors. The error matches OSS note 1231975 but we are
    having problems understanding what this note is advising to fix the
    issue. "SAPJTECHS SP16 component needs to be applied before proceeding
    with the whole SP16 stack. It should fix the usages on the systems
    fixing missing rows at BC_SL_PARTS table." Each time we start JSPM it
    gives the errors mentioned in this note. How are we to import
    SAPJTECHS before the rest of the Java Support Packs if we can't get
    JSPM to come up due to this error? About half of the Java Support
    Packs were imported before this error occured.

    You can deploy that component manually using SDM (instead of JSPM).

    If you had already removed the device from 'Find My iPhone' in iCloud, then you jus tneed to powercycle the device in order to activate it.

    "After the device is removed from the previous owner’s account, turn the device off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top-right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally."
    If it has not been removed, then the activation lock is still active.
    If the previous owner cannot remove the device from their account there is nothing you can do unless the place you purchased it from will give you a refund.
    Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5818
    What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
    Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
    How do I check for Activation Lock before purchasing a used device?
    When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
    Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
    Turn the device on and slide to unlock.If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
    Begin the device setup process.After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in to icloud.com/find. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
    You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process.

  • Has anyone had a problem with the spotlight search not working sometimes?

    Has anyone had a problem with their "spotlight search" not working? If I restart the phone it will work for a few days then not work again.

    It's more likely the OP's router.  I have a wifi only iPad 2, yet location services work just fine on my iPad.  If I open maps, my location is found quite nicely.  I have seen that some routers do not provide location services and I suspect the OP has such a router.
