RTA Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hey folks. Lately I've heard my fans running constantly and my computer running slow, so I checked my activity monitor and sure enough, there's a runaway process. asyncd. But it's not just one. It's a half dozen asyncd's, all eating up massive amounts of the CPU. (70 - 80% each). I force quit them all the first time, and it was fine. But then again just today, the same thing happened. So I tried it again. There probably ten asyncds eating up my resources. Anyone have experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddunn Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I am having the same problem as you, with the exception that I only have 1 asyncd process going that is taking up 70% or more resources. Whenever I kill the process, it will almost certainly start again later in the day. I haven't been able to isolate the problem, and I haven't been able to find out if it can be killed permanently - it would be nice to get rid of it for good because it makes my fans run constantly too. Once it is killed, fans slow right down. One thin I do know is that I was not having this problem under Leopard. It appeared to come up after installing Snow Leopard. It is apparently a PowerPC process - not sure whey when my macbook is an Intel, 1st generation white plastic. Let me know if you happen to get anywhere with this and I will do the same.
