After upgrading to OS X Mavericks syslogd needs lot of memory and cpu, system is very slow

After upgrading to OS X Mavericks the system is very slow. securityd and syslogd are using 50% of cpu and memory is also used by syslogd and kerneltask (8 GB out of 12). After rebooting the system it runs very well, a view days later (without reboot, only hibernating) the situation is the same.
Looks like a problem in OS X. Any solutions?

I haven't worked out the LDAP messages but I noticed at other times I was seeing lots of album art messages from BlackBerry desktop. I'd already uninstalled the app but it still had processes running. I followed this link to remove completely; http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/57023/how-to-uninstall-completely-black berry-device-manager
CPU levels have been noticeably lower ever since.

  • Need to retrieve memory and cpu information

    level: Advanced
    i m working on a cluster related software (not a business software, just a thesis work). i need to retrieve current memory and cpu usage info (i m using windows xp, i need the info what we get by pressing (alt+ctrl+del)). i need to use pure java. please tell me a better and easy way.

    i know about JNI and i know Runtime.exec(), but theRight, then you also know what to search for on google.
    problem is it would not be helpful for my program to
    call taskmgr by Runtime.exec() and for using JNI i
    need the native code in c or c++ to retrieve the cpu
    and memory usage information. but i m not expert in c
    or c++. Thats more search factors to add to the google search.
    please help me somehow. if u have any reliable native
    code then help me. the code should provide both cpu
    and memory usage info instantly.Thats another requirement to add to that google search.
    There may be free versions out ther, but you are going to have to do the leg work, nobody is going to do your work for you. You know about runtime.exec(), you know about JNI, now do a search.

  • I am upgrading a old power mac g4 need update 9.1 and the system gives error message when i try to export it?

    i am upgrading from 9.0.4 to 9.1.0 in the order that I am instructed when trying to get free update from the apple site i get error message..what gives with that am i supposed to just stay in os9?

    9.1 is helpful for some application compatibility, but more so for running Mac OS 9 within Classic environment in Mac OS X.    Classic though is not as good as booting into 9 directly, as many drivers are not accessible to the Classic environment in X.   You can find the newer 9 updates if you follow this tip.

  • After upgrading to OS X Mavericks Time machine stops working

    After upgrading to OS X Mavericks Time machine stops backing up and sometimes hangs on ,,preparing,, for o days and sometimes stops inmediatly. Report says:
    Backing up to /dev/disk1s2: /Volumes/Backup/Backups.backupdb
    Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
    *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '*** -[__NSArrayM objectAtIndex:]: index 0 beyond bounds for empty array'

    Is this a Firewire or Thunderbolt connected disk?  There are know issues with that in Mavericks.  If so try connecting the drive by USB as you continue.
    Is it a WD drive?  There appear to be issues with those drive on Mavericks.

  • Okidata printer errors after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

    Immediately after upgrading to OS X Mavericks, when I try to print with my Okidata C330DN color laser printer will NOT print in color.
    I get this message:
    "The Print Dialog Extension could not be loaded because it has not been updated to run in this application's secure environment".
    I contacted Okidata, who said "give us a week" to update the driver.  Well, they updated their driver, I just installed it, and get THE SAME ERROR...

    This is because of sandboxing, and Okidata will need to release another driver that handles these permissions issues. You can try printing from a non-sandboxed application like Safari, if that helps.

    Hi ..
    Better to troubleshoot Yosemite.
    Not enough free storage space can slow your Mac down.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.   OS X Tips Where did my Disk Space go?
    As for Safari, might be a cookies, cache, extensions, or plug-ins issue.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • My mail messages are blank after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this??

    My mail messages are blank after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this??

    Hi, I had this same problem. I have a load of work subfolders and was showing the message header but no content. I think it lost the link to the original messages.
    There may be a simpler way but I fixed it by going to the mail folders in finder. I took the following steps:
    Go to user library (hold down the alt key whilst clicking the Go menu in finder to access user library)
    Go to user/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes. You should be able to see your mailboxes and your original messages (ending .emlx) after clicking down the hierachy in each mailbox. For some reason mail added a "-2" onto the end of each mailbox which I think has caused the problem.
    Copy each required mailbox (.mbox) onto desktop. I removed the "-2" at this stage to clean things up.
    In Mail, choose File/Import Mailboxes....
    Import data from: Apple Mail. Click continue, navigate to desktop and choose the relevant .mbox folders. Click Choose.
    It should then import the mail to a new folder called import in mail. You can then rename that folder or move the subfolders out.
    I moved the .mbox folders on my desktop to my documents folder as a backup just in case. I then deleted the problem mailboxes from the finders mailboxes folder.
    Problem solved - for me anyway!!
    Hope this helps.

  • Why system is very slow after installing Mavericks

    After installing mavericks my system becom very slow. startup also very slow. when i open an application it spins. what should i need to do

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.

  • After upgrading to Firexfox 35.0 all vine videos, instagram videos and some webplayer videos dont work anymore.

    After upgrading to Firexfox 35.0 all vine videos, instagram videos and some webplayer videos dont work anymore.
    I get messages like:
    ERROR 1
    -Error Loading Media: File Could Not Be Found
    http://i.imgur.com/5OaxOFC.jpg
    ERROR 2
    -Video can't be played because file is corrupt.
    http://i.imgur.com/cqRpJOp.jpg
    Before I start, I will like to point out some things Ive tried already so this doesnt end up being a back and forth of things already tried.
    *Ive uninstalled adobe flash player
    *Ive tried the whole
    media.windows-media-foundation.enabled to false or to true
    *Ive gone into safe mode and nothing
    *Ive tried toggling off the plug-ins to see if anything I have problems with works. Nothing.
    All the media that plays from different various players:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7IXmV6A6Bk
    http://bestanimes.tv/mushishi-zoku-shou-2nd-season-episode-10/
    http://www.watchcartoononline.com/mushishi-episode-26-english-dubbed <-- 2 embedded videos that both play.
    All the media that wont play:
    http://www.jwplayer.com/ <---- that front page video : I get ERROR 1 for this
    http://videomega.tv/?ref=AJWOLaJQKbbKQJaLOWJA <--- I get ERROR 1 for this
    And every vine and instagram video. Since I will be asked to post something from it here is something from vine and something from instagram
    https://vine.co/v/OqxKQBJd3lm <---- I get a still image
    http://instagram.com/p/up3CG6ooDP <----- I get error 2 if I go into page info and click the media tab and look for the video.
    All my enabled plugins:
    http://i.imgur.com/9fCZ1s2.jpg
    Everything on my permissions even on the pages of the media I cant play is set to : Use Default.
    Now, I thought this was just some kind plug-in problem, I even thought it was just something with the updated made Firefox incompatible with some of the webplayers. Of course I found out this was wrong. Keep on reading:
    If your flash plugin crashes or if you terminate/end process in the Task manager, your video will be replaced by this grey message:
    http://i.imgur.com/vudnNIM.jpg
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7IXmV6A6Bk
    http://bestanimes.tv/mushishi-zoku-shou-2nd-season-episode-10/
    http://www.watchcartoononline.com/mushishi-episode-26-english-dubbed
    http://www.jwplayer.com/
    http://videomega.tv/?ref=AJWOLaJQKbbKQJaLOWJA
    Now, all these videos I listed before, If I had them all open in tabs and then proceeded to terminate my flash plugin in Task Manager, they would all be replaced by that grey message window that the plugin crashed.
    Now, after I updated firefox to 35.0, if I did the same thing
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7IXmV6A6Bk
    http://bestanimes.tv/mushishi-zoku-shou-2nd-season-episode-10/
    http://www.watchcartoononline.com/mushishi-episode-26-english-dubbed
    These three would show that grey message and these are the ones I can play
    But these 2 the ones I have a problem with.
    http://www.jwplayer.com/
    http://videomega.tv/?ref=AJWOLaJQKbbKQJaLOWJA
    they wont even be affected by it. Its like they arent even using the flash plugin.
    Whenever I would terminate/end process my plugin from my task manager in 34.0 EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING would not work including every vine video and instgram video, it would either show that grey message that says the plugin crashed or it would not work. They would all work again when I refreshed the page. Everything, in 34.0 in my firefox was using the flash plugin.
    Now, as I stated above I thought it was just some kind of webplayer and firefox 35.0 conflict that was causing these problems.
    Until I saw this:
    http://www.watchcartoononline.com/mushishi-episode-26-english-dubbed
    http://i.imgur.com/gCaUMXm.jpg
    http://i.imgur.com/V9w7ulS.jpg
    http://www.jwplayer.com/
    http://i.imgur.com/dqZtoTX.jpg
    They are both using the same exact webplayer. THE SAME ONE.
    I can play the first one
    but the video in the front page of http://www.jwplayer.com/ I cant play it.
    Which brings me to my final conclusion.
    The reason I cant play some that fron page video of http://www.jwplayer.com/
    videos from videomega.tv
    and instagrams and vines
    IS because of their file extension, their file types.
    I went to the firefox options and clicked the Applications tab:
    http://i.imgur.com/uWWKelX.jpg
    http://i.imgur.com/HYBjwdZ.jpg
    http://i.imgur.com/IK4C2WR.jpg
    Shouldnt all those video file types be in : Use Shockwave Flash (in Firfox) instead of : Always ask
    When I try to toggle it to something else I dont even get the option to use Shockwave Flash
    http://i.imgur.com/gTH18S1.jpg
    In Conclusion, what gives??
    -In 34.0 Everything worked.
    -If I terminated/ended process the Flash plugin in 34.0 everything would be affected by it , either by not working anymore or showing me that grey crash message.
    -This all started when I upgraded to 35.0
    -Has nothing to do with webplayer conflicting with 35.0 as proven above.
    -The reason for all of this not working is the type of video extension they have. Judging from the examples I gave of the things I cant play, it would seem I cant play mp4, flv and whatever vine uses. Which I think its mp4 as well.
    Anyways, how do I fix all this so it works like it did before I upgraded to 35.0

    I looked at that but it only shows for Windows 8.1 , 8.0 , 7 , i have Vista , 64 bit Ultimate , would the Windows 7 one work ?? , or am i out of luck ?
    And what plug-in icon in the address bar ?? , i don't see anything that pertains to any plug-ins
    This is a example of one of the videos i was trying to watch , basically when you click the arrow in the center , it just goes away for a second then comes back and the video never plays , it just sits there , in the lower left corner i see a small popup that says javascript;

  • After upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the virtual memory while using external HD

    after upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the "virtual memory size" while using external HD. I check it using Activity Monitor and found that "Finder" wll increase the "Virtual Memory Size" and "Private Memory Size". and then after a while. the system told me my HD is full and hanging there.
    My External HD is 1TB. and I have installed new version Paragon NTFS for Mac V.9.01. I am not sure it is related or not.
    but I attached my external HD. the "Finder" will start to increase the "Virtual Memory Size".
    please help out this case and solve this issue.
    thank you !!!

    The one has nothing to do with the other. Virtual memory size and Private memory size are used by developers to analyze their software. it has nothing to do with anything related to the user.
