Suddenly the fan of my Mac Mini starts to run as crazy - Possible reason / elimination? Just started my Mac Mini 15 minutes ago. Suddenly the fan started to work and the sound is clearly hearable. Normally the machine works quietly.
I took a look into the processes-table and found that there is a process &quot;accountsd&quot;. The &quot;Accounts daemon&quot; perhaps ...

Might the &quot;accountsd&quot;-process be related to the annoying fan-trouble?
What can be the reason of the described behaviour, out of the blue?
What can one do against it?
Here are the OS-specs:
I found a solution for the problem, meanwhile.
Here's what worked for me: In the &quot;System-Preferences&quot; it was demanded to update the Apple-ID.


After doing so, I shutdown the machine. Then started it again.
The problem is now gone. The accountsd-process is still there in the processes-table, but the use of system-capacity is back to normal.
