Iphoto hogs my cpu, even when running in the background

Hi, I can't leave iPhoto running in the background because it regularly uses 47% to 98% of my cpu (although there are times that it only uses 12%).  Eventually the computer heats up to over 200 degrees (F) and freezes, forcing a hard re-start.  I did all of the iPhoto maintenance tasks (rebuilding, etc.).  My library does have 3000 photos, but I am running 16 GB of RAM.  I monitor the CPU use via "Activity Monitor" and no other program comes anywhere close to using that much CPU.  I'd appreciate your suggestions.

This is iPhoto for iOS.  You should post your question in the iPhoto for the Mac (iLife) forum to get better answers.

  • Page breaks appear in the spool output of report when run in the background

    Hi All,
    Report is using fm 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' to display the report. parameters passed to this fm for display are :it_fieldcat,is_layout,it_events,t_outtab.
    Page breaks appear in the spool output when report is run in the background.These page breaks needs to be removed. When executed in the background, the excel extract should be the same as if pulling directly from the report itself.
    How to remove the page breaks in background?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Abhishek Singh

    Hi
    You can use the below code , which the reprt run in background. If you run the report in background thenyou need to use  'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'
    if sy-batch = ' '.
    call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
    else.
    call 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'.
    endif.
    if you are using OO alv then write this code..
    CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline
    RECEIVING e_offline = off.
    IF off IS INITIAL.
    CREATE OBJECT g_custom_container
    EXPORTING container_name = g_container.

  • Windows Media player pausing randomly when running in the background.

    Essentially I will set Windows media player to play a playlist. I will start some game. And anywhere from 5-20 minutes into the game, windows media player pauses.
    This also happens when I am browsing the web.
    Something similar happens when I am using VLC player. But instead of a pause, the volume decreases by about 60%.

    Sounds like this happens while online. If so change your properties of your network card to half duplex. Or update your drivers.  http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

  • LR uses 10% cpu even when idle

    I noticed that LR 3.3 consumes 10% cpu all the time even when it sits in the background (and I'm working within an other application and I have NOT started any batch)?!
    After putting LR in the foreground (as active application) it consumes less then 5%?!
    What is it doing??
    Are there some settings to reduce/switch of background tasks?
    (I already switched off memorycard detection for import, and XMP autosave)

    It's really annoying that LR misses a lot of really tiny things that Adobe developers could implement them alltogether in only a some days. But no - you have to install lots of plugins, which lack of the poor LR api.
    Well, the SDK is actually pretty complete, and quite powerful. Lr is a heavily threaded application, and this is exposed to some extent by the SDK. For plugin authors, this is really nice. It offers a way to make very powerful additions to Lr that don't belong in the core product, but behave as if they are.
    But it means that a poorly written plugin can soak up a fair amount of resources. Note, however, that a plugin cannot totally steal all resources. There is a governor on that, so the worst you will see is this sort of problem -- annoying, maybe, but not disasterous.
    And remember that the vast majority of plugins will use the tasks and threads handed to it from the application, and will never exhibit these symptoms. It is only some sorts of plugins written in a specific manner that would ever impact overall application execution profile. So, you could install many plugins and never see a change in behaviour whether 1 or 10 were enabled.  But install and run one that cycles hard on blocking activity and you will see this problem.
    There is always a trade-off. Plugins make the application very flexible, but with this flexibility comes some risk. There is no perfect solution and there never will be. (Adobe could never implement all plugin behaviour everyone would want as first-class features in the core product -- this is impossible.)

    When you launch iPhoto with the option key depressed you'll get this window:

    All libraries on your hard drive (and on external drives) will be listed and the currently used library will be listed as (default).

  • Firefox constantly runs in the background even when closed

    Hi
    I have Firefox 3.6.8 running on Windows Vista.
    I have found that Firefox constantly runs in the background even when i have just booted up the computer or when i have closed it.
    Firefox seems to constantly run with 5000-20000 K bytes in the memory.
    When i have Firefox running to look at webpages, there are two processes running. When i close Firefox there is one process running. If i end the process using the task manager, it only takes seconds before it starts to run again.
    I know this isnt normal because i keep a good eye on the processes running on my computer. So unless the latest version of Firefox requires this process running all the time, it looks like i have a probably.
    Ive scanned my computer with zonealarm, avast, superantispyware and spybot to scan my computer for viruses. One of the pieces of software found a virus and it deleted it successfully.
    Im not too sure if this is a virus that is hiding in my system or whether its part of the latest version of Firefox.
    Firefox isnt showing the usual signs of a virus. As in it doesnt try to redirect me to random websites and it doesnt try to get me to download something.
    I hope someone can help me please.
    Rob

    After talking to someone very helpful on the live chat support.
    It appears like i have a virus that is very good at hiding from detection from anti-virus/spyware software.
    No idea what intentions the virus has as its not showing any sort of virus like behaviour.
    I called the old installation a different name and closed the Firefox process. A few seconds later, instead of a Firefox process starting again a different executable started.

  • I deleted the picture in iphoto, then emptied my iphoto trash, but the picture is still showing on my computer when i go into my trash under "all images" How do you delete pictures even when you empty the trash and they stay in the computer?

    Wtih iPhoto 9 when the iPhoto Trash is emptied the files get moved to the Trash bin in the Dock as a second chance to change your mind.  Look in the Dock's Trash bin.

  • SpeedGrade Pins CPU even when IDLE

    MacBook Pro 2009, Core2Duo, GeForce 9600M GT, 8GB RAM
    Start up SpeeGrade, all is normal.
    Add a clip to the timeline, the CPU usage jumps to 200% (both cores) and stays there forever, until I delete the timeline.
    Any ideas?

  • I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build.  The same call works fine when running on the device

    I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
    I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
    The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
    I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
    I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
    By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
    Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
    Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
    Thanks!

    After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
    The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList.  Changing it to List resolved the problem.
    I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid.  And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger.  Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

    The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet.  Are you still using the same wireless router.  The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace.  For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio.   I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

  • Cannot download OSX Maverick? My current system is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and even when logged into the app store I'm getting the message that I can not download at this time. Try Later?

    Are you connected via wifi? If so, and it is an option, try connecting using a ethernet cable. It sometimes seems to help as it can give a more reliable connection for the 5.3gb download.
    If you do manage to download it you may want to make a copy of the installer file - which gets downloaded to the Applications folder - before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. It may save you another monster download in the future.

    When I print pictures from my IMAC to my Hp C8180 they are grainy, even when I select the Best Quality- Why can't I get good quality printing from Imac ?  Use the same printer with a PC and printed the same picture files-  they are printed with high quality-  Why can't the IMAC do the same?

    Does this involve iPhoto for the Mac?

  • My IPhone4 is secretly using alot of data even though I have double tapped Home button and closed all the apps running in the background.

    My Iphone4 is secretly using alot of data even after I have double tapped the home button and closed all the apps running in the background.
    This just started happening 3 days ago.
    When im out of home, the phone drains battery REALLY FAST, I lose 6% battery in 5 minutes.
    The phone also heats up and feels very warm after a few minutes.
    When I turn the data plan off, it becomes normal again, like I lose 1% every 30minutes even while listening to mp3.
    I can conclude that its secretly using the 3G at an alarming rate which causes the battery to die so quickly
    I have uploaded 2 pictures showing what happens before and after I turn on my WIFI.
    Notice that the ping spikes like crazy on my home network once I turn on my WIFI on my IP4
    WIFI OFF:
    WIFI ON:
    I hope someone can assist me with this!
    Thanks!!

    There is a common misconception that closing an app on the Quick Launch screen (it's real name) also kills the app's background process. This is not the case. First, all built in apps (mail, contacts, calendar, game center, notes, reminders, Genius, Photo Stream, etc) continue running their background processes even if killed in the Quick Launch screen. For apps from the App Store killing the foreground process also gives the app the option of killing its background process, but it doesn't have to. In addition, any app that has Notifications enabled can restart its background process if it receives a Notification.
    iOS 7 gives the user more control over background processes; you can selectively allow or deny any app to run in background. As you apparently have not upgraded this option is not available to you.
    As Chris has already told you, there's an app on your phone that is stuck in a loop. As you discovered killing foreground processes did not resolve the problem. One trick that sometimes resolves this is to let the battery run down until the phone shuts off and will not restart. Then charge to 100%.

  • My flat screen won't connect to the internet, even when I use the cord from my working iMac.

    I have an old dome base flat screen running Tiger and a newer intel iMac running Snow Leopard. My newer model connects to the internet just fine and my old one did too, until recently. Both work off the same Comcast modem and one will connect and the old one won't, even when I take the cord from the new one and plug it into the old. I didn't make any changes to it so I don't know what the problem is. Any suggestions?

    I think what happened is I had Hide My *** Proxy running and for some reason it won't let me get on line with it running, although it used to so I don't know what the deal with that is. On my other computer I can get on line with it running. Anyway, after I quit HMA I could get on line. Thanks for your reply. By the way, my other computer is not connected to a hub, but to the Comcast modem/wireless device that my other computer is connected to.
