Any ideas?

That process is a diagnostic aid to capture system statistics. The system starts it when it detects a potential problem or an actual problem - so you've likely got something out of adjustment or problematic installed.

It's from Apple and generally is more like a fire suppression system than something that starts the fire. To use that tool to find the initial cause of the CPU usage you'll need a few tools and some basic orientation.

First, open up Console.app and look for the Show Log List/Hide Log List button. Press it to expose the User and System Diagnostics Reports.

You can monitor the actual reasons why Report Crash is running here. If there are a lot of events, you can right click a name and Reveal in Finder - R and delete or watch the log files more easily in Finder.

Once you have a feel for what the diagnostics look like on that Mac, a second console window can watch /var/log/system.log as you work to see what happened right before the Report Crash fires up.


Now for your specific crash. Locationd can be cancelled by turning off all network access. I would turn off Bluetooth if you don't need it and turn off WiFi and disconnect any network cables from the Mac.

Then I'd shut it down and restart. Look at the time when you log back in and watch for more crashes. Once the system is stable - turn on one item (Bluetooth or Wifi or connect one network cable) and then wait for a bit.

You can even poke locationd after the reboot by opening the Maps app and requesting your location. It should warn you about needing things turned on, and ignore those for testing.

  • @Stophface Wow - that would be a huge waste of CPU and battery (if you're not on wall power). I'll edit my answer once I have a look at your details. Also, consider shutting down the Mac and deleting most of the old diagnostic messages. Sometimes the system gets so backed up with that many crashes, that the cycle self-propogates. A reboot ensures we're chasing the original problem and not complications from the ongoing resource hog.

  • I rebooted already. The ReportCrash occus instantly again. You want me to delet all the files (.spin, .crash, .diag etc.) from the folder "System Diagnostic Reports"?

  • Let's meet in Ask Different Chat if you care to have a short back and forth. editing several times and commenting doesn't work very well for refining an issue.

According to the man page (man ReportCrash):

launchtl can be used to disable and re-enable crash reporting. To disable crash reporting:

      launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.ReportCrash.plist
      sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ReportCrash.Root.plist

To re-enable crash reporting:

      launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.ReportCrash.plist
      sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ReportCrash.Root.plist

The locationd file was corrupted.

After trying to access my privacy settings in safe mode and normal mode (which did not work, it crashed) and after a restart and PRAM reset (which did not help neither) I installed the combo update from here https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1804?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US and that worked very well :)

I was googling for a solution. I tried reinstalling OSX. I tried some clean up using the Onyx utility.

In the Console application where you see that something is crashing and restarting and crashing again, you can see some file path in the reports.

So this solution I found somewhere. You can see this path in the Console application when the problem is occurring, so it make sense and works. I also restarted that locationd service by running this:

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locationd.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locationd.plist

Only deleting /var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000sm00006d fixed this problem in my osx installation.
