How to fix sandbox violations by airportd?

I keep seeing a lot of errors like this in the console which seem to be causing beachballs:

SandboxViolation: airportd(81) deny(1) file-read-metadata /Users

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012) and I'm running version 10.12.4.


Solution 1:

Those sandbox violations aren't ever something that causes a beachball in my experience. They may be logged at the same time, but are coincidence and will happen when the beach ball isn't in progress.

  • To dig in to the beachball - which app is spinning or are all?
  • Can you run a sysdiagnose (in activity monitor) on the app?
