Please also confirm which version of macOS you are running. They won't be if you are experiencing this issue. PrivilegedHelperTools > com.ea.origin.ESHelper That solved the CPU iusage but I feel that's only temporary. I managed to end 1 of the 4 processes, but the rest would keep restarting. Before you post, please open the LaunchDaemons and PrivilegedHelperTools folders and check to see if the following files are there: There seem to be 4 separate instances of 'Adobe CEF Helper.exe' running in the background and only one seems to act up at any given time. If you are still experiencing this issue please post in this thread.
#ADOBE CEF HELPER LOCATION .EXE#
EXE files fall under under the Win32 EXE (Dynamic link library) file type category. Make sure you back up your Mac beforehand! Adobe Genuine Helper.exe, also known as a Adobe Genuine CEF Helper file, was created by Adobe Systems Incorporated for the development of Adobe CEF Helper.

To reinstall your version of macOS simply open the App Store, download the OS and install it to your hard drive. These apps can be notoriously harmful and can remove files that they shouldn't resulting in operating system instability. Then, you have disabled Adobe Genuine Software Integrity. After that, you can delete the Adobe folder completely. Step 4: Right-click it and click the End Task button. If you have run any apps recently that claim to clean up your Mac of files you don't need, please reinstall your operating system. Step 3: Then, open the AdobeGCIClient file and return to the Task Manager window once again.
This may seem extreme but you may have corrupted or missing files and permissions which could be causing this error. Create a new admin user account on your Mac and see if you can successfully download and install Origin in that account.Try the Terminal command posted in the Accepted Solution on the previous thread running for this issue.If it is not you need to ask whoever has control of the admin account to install Origin for you:
Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups and make sure your user account is an Admin account.It was a known bug and was fixed in a subsequent update to Origin. This was previously an issue for users running OS X Mountain Lion. Your Mac user account must be an Administrator account to grant the permissions needed to save the files. Once entered the window keeps popping up in a never ending cycle, seemingly unable to verify the details:Īs part of the installation process Origin requests permission to save a helper tool file in the Macintosh HD > Library > LaunchDaemons and Macintosh HD > Library > PrivilegedHelperTools folders (NOT the user 's Library folder). The user name and password information entered should be your Mac user account details, not your Origin user name and password.
When attempting to install Origin a window pops up prompting the user to enter their user name and password to install a helper tool.
