I did this, still the same problem.Offhand I don’t recall the remedy we used for this in the past, but please try changing SMBIOS name to iMacPro1,1 as mentioned by @Inqnuam. No need to change serial numbers. Just change the name temporarily to see what happens.
I tried this, and even if the terminal confirmes "disabled", the daemon still comes up after some minutes.Has anyone tried this command ? IDK but it may be the same for mediaanalysisid too.
Code:sudo launchctl remove com.apple.photoanalysisd
To reenable it:
Code:sudo launchctl load com.apple.photoanalysisd
I wonder if deleting the photo library file and rebuilding it might solve the underlying problem? (Volunteers should of course fully back up their system before doing this.)
After going to the extreme of completely fresh install 11.2 on a sepratae SSD with the same OC like on the system nVME and exactly the same error occured, I narrowed it down to the mediaanalysisd daemon. I read quite a bit on the net about it, apparently this is more specifcaly looking at videos in the photo library - but correct me if I'm wrong.
On the completely fresh install of 11.2, I logged into iCloud, turned on the Photo sync. It satrted to sync to the cloud and all photos/videos appeared. Then mediaanalysisd kicked in and 2 minutes later it crashed.
I disabled iCloud Photos, deleted the Photos library file all together. Restarted Photos.app, it asks me where the library file is, I say create new. So with the new empty library file mediaanalysisd never comes up at all - and no more crashes!
I did the same in my main nVME system install, so now I don't have iCloud Photos on and the Photos library is empty. And no crash!
I wonder what this strange behaviour is. Don't you all sync your pictures with iCloud? and none of you has this issue? Maybe I have some wicked pictures/videos in my iCloud? Or some video file is causing the daemon to crash...?
So the only workarround for me is to not sync my iCloud Photos - which is not satisfying at all, given that it was working in Catalina. What is Big Sur doing wrong here - if at all. I want my Photos sync back!
Any ideas?
thanks
