Memory leak in Message after a sleep

Solution 1:

I would file a ticket with Apple. It needs to be addressed, and Apple is very good about following up.

Solution 2:

Here's what I would do to actually try and fix the problem. We will completely reset iMessage.

First up, log out of all accounts from Messages and Facetime, and then close them down. Create two folders on your Desktop: Messages, and Preferences.

With Finder as the active application, hit shift ⌘ cmd G and enter in ~/Library/Messages/. Drag the contents of this folder into the Messages folder your created on your desktop. Basically, you want to remove everything from the ~/Library/Messages/ folder and back it up on your desktop just in case.

Then, hit shift ⌘ cmd G again and enter ~/Library/Preferences/. Look for any files starting with:

• com.apple.imservice
• com.apple.imagent
• com.apple.iChat

and drag them into the Preferences folder on your Desktop.

Now, restart your Mac, log back into iMessage and see if the issue persists.
