MBP eating up all of my bandwidth
Hello, here is a little background info - these are the computers/devices involved
15" MBP unibody
13" MBP unibody
24" iMac
Xbox 360
My router is a Buffalo WHP 54 GS thats been flashed with Tomato.
My issue is that the 13" MBP eats up ALL of my bandwidth when my wife surfs the internet with it.
Anytime I'm playing on xbox live - as soon as my wife fires up a browser (both safari and/or firefox) , my ping increases drastically - from around 20-50ms to over 300ms. Which kills my session.
This only happens when the 13" is going. I did some tests - had all the macs on in the house and my bandwidth is getting crushed, as soon as the 13" goes to sleep or gets turned off, my bandwidth usage is back to normal. This is while having everyone perform the same tasks online (browse facebook pics).
When you turn the 13" back on, bandwidth is fine for about 5 minutes then it gets killed again.
All software is updated, so no updates are being downloaded, no files are being downloaded, no one is streaming video, just looking at facebook or some different blogspot blogs.
Bandwidth usuage was monitored using tomato's real-time bandwidth monitor.
What can possibly be causing the 13" to use sooooo much bandwidth?
I'm about to just format it and reinstall the os again, but I'd like to avoid it if someone can suggest an idea or maybe a bandwidth monitor I can use on the mac to find out what application is using so much.
Ah yes - sorry left out that bit, I only mentioned the ping because thats the first network problem I encountered that led me to look at my network usage, then I found the bandwidth issue.
Looking at the usage for about 20 minutes today - With finder, safari, and mail running - but no one using the mac, every 4 minutes my inbound traffic hit 6131kbps, which is just under my max of 6Mbps. This happened every 4 minutes for the full 20 minutes I looked. Once I killed safari and mail, the usage leveled out, then after 8 minutes spiked back up to almost 6Mbps. These spikes seem to happen for no more than 10 seconds each time.
I think I'm just going to do a clean install - I originally upgraded this one from leopard to snow leopard, and it seems to be the only machine giving me issues with its wireless connection. Its a long shot, but just something else to cross off the list in hopes that its a software issue and not hardware.
I'm still going to look for a monitoring utility at the sites you suggested for future issues.
My wife doesnt use itunes on her mac, no bittorrent applications, no backup software to the cloud. Even timemachine is off. I really have no idea why it would be doing this, the chances of her installing some random program that could turn out to be a trojan are slim to none.
I have noticed that the mac has some wireless issues, such as the range is very limited. The router is in a network closet I have very close to the living room, if you leave the living room - the mac will say its connected, but wont be able to pull any websites- this would be in the room just past the living room. Its not a big house. If after my re-install I'm still getting these issues, I may hit up the Genius Bar to see if I have a faulty airport card.
Thank you for you help in this

My Yosemite is eating up all my bandwidth
Hello,
I Installed Yosemite Yesterday (2 hours after the public release). I love it.
I kept my laptop on overnight to download some stuff and noticed it download just 15% (1.15GB) of my data (it would otherwise download at least 4GB). I thought it was my ISP problem so ignored it. But from today morning I noticed something called com.apple.geod is eating up all my bandwidth.
It stays on always. I tried force quitting it but it comes back up again. I restarted my Mac several times. I got a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013).
Is this some bug or something??? It's really annoying. My Safari, downloads, Radio and mostly 99% of my internet applications are getting messed up because of this.
I don't know if this might help but my Apple Maps and Maps (inside iMessage while my friend shared a location with me) does not open. I mean it opens but the Maps and stuff just shows those lines and does not load. It was perfect with Mavericks.
Help please?
Graham MirandaGuide: How to solve Yosemite memory leaks and CPU usage
This is VERY useful. There is also some additional information on drivers in /Library/Launch Agents and /Launch Daemons that are causing memory leaks.
After two weeks and two different (brand new) MacBook Pros, Yosemite is finally behaving after following such guidance as above. Note: When com.apple.geod stops responding, I simply View...Send Signal...Hang Up and it clears the problem. Good luck! -
Photostream uses all my upload bandwidth and i have no photo.
Hello, well, i came back home today and noticed that something was using all my upload bandwidth. I closed all the apps and it was still being used. So i opened Activity Monitor and had no idea about what was using all that bandwidth. I just noticed few apps using CPU. I don't know why but i tried to force quit Photostream and it freed my UP bandwidth. I rebooted my MBP and i immediatelly saw about 20kb/s BW usage without any app started. So i checked iCloud preferences and disabled Photo Stream and the BW usage dropped down to 1-2kb/s.
But why is that? I mean, i had no photo streamed. Aperture and iPhoto had Photostream with 0 photos inside and it was disabled on both. iPhone too. So why if there was no photos to stream it was using my upload bandwidth?No.
Sorry.

Please help, my Mini is eating up all my Ram & suffers from annoying bugs!
Hello
This is my first official post with a few problems as I just got my Mini and as I hear around the boards, there are a number of things wrong with the mini...
Here is my first problem :
My Mini seems to eat up a lot of ram and for some reason, when I quit all of my apps and leave only one or two open it does not go up... Instead it just sits there and if I try to open more apps, it falls dangerously low and I feel the computer is kind of suffering...
On restart it is doing just fine again.
Here are some examples (please click on links to see Activity Monitor images):
The case when it goes bad
http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/1645/ramconsumption6ba.jpg
And this is after restart or startup
http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/3280/ramconsumption25es.jpg
What is eating up all my ram? And why does it not bounce back to the free ram it should have? It is like the apps suddenly double in RAM consumption...
Second problem :
When I start up my mini, each and every time I have to remind the mini to connect to my Airport Express, I have to go to the menu and pull down the menu bar and that is all. I don't even have to select it, cause it does it by its self, but not until I remind it. This is a rather annoying part, I cannot make it understand that it should JUST connect to my Airport setting...
Are there any solutions for this?
Third Problem :
When I startup the mini, the sound is always set to default, meaning it comes through the speakers at half volume. I always set it to full, so that I can control my speakers instead of going both to the mac and my speakers to control my sound setting.
Does anyone have this problem? And how can I fix it?
Also,I can only hear the startup chime via the mini and not via my speakers. Is this a universal problem with the minis? If so I can live with it, though it is pretty annoying.
Fourth Problem :
As I am writing this topic in this forum, my keyboard is kind of slow, it is not reacting as fast as it should. It is set to fast in the preference pane and even the controls of going up and down on a page via the arrow keys don't seem to keep its beat. It does it once and I have to press it how ever many lines I want to go up, unlike before on my G5 I just press and hold the button and it will go as far as I let it before I let it go.
What is that all about?
Fifth Problem :
Though this is a small problem, I don't know if this could be major later. I tend to get digital distortion during my usage of Safari. Certain places, I visit I can see digital distortion. Like when I scroll on CNN.COM. It makes some strange lines and I cannot figure out what is wrong with it...
Now, the mini was once considered to be a cheap investment, but as I found out, I had to go a long way and very close to the price of an iMac to get my Mini to work. See I have an Apple Studio Displace 17 inch ADC. Now, to my surprise, as I was about to hook up my mini to my nice Apple screen (Only a generation old), I was in for a big shock... It was simply not compatible... Not one bit... Leaving me with the bitter taste of having to pay an additional $130 for an DVI to ADC converter. And that really made me angry.
But aside from that, I have to say, I am not certain that I want to keep this mini... I have 10 days, to decide if I want to keep it or not... I can get a full refund if I don't like it... And so far, I am not sure I like it as much as I thought I would...
Rosetta aside, I think it is pretty fast, in all the native Intel apps. So, we'll see if I can eliminate some of these problems and if I can, I will keep it, but I am not sure how many of these problems I am going to need fixed before I seriously want to keep it...
I am going from one problematic G5 Dual 1.8 Powermac to another problematic Apple computer... It can get a little too overwhelming...
So any help anyone can give me at this point, would be very much appreciated...
Dual : G5 1.8 Ghz, MacMini Core Duo, iPod, iPod Shuffle & mini Mac OS X (10.4.5) Was the mini the correct decision?Hi PPC7410!!!
Wow, thank you so much for your post, I really appreciate you taking the time to set a few things straight for me...
And yes, you are right, the Apple Studio Display was bought with my G5 Dual 1.8. So I kind of didn't want to buy a new monitor.
The main reason why I bought the mini now was because I am saving up for a MacBook Pro. I am going mobile soon and need a good computer. But, I want to wait till Apple fixes all the small problems with the MacBook Pros and I hope to get one early next year. And that is where the mini comes into the picture. I need a computer I can have while I save up for the laptop. And while I can still get some decent money for the G5, I am going to sell it and use the money on the laptop. Once I get that, I will give the mini to my father who can use it to keep in touch with me and start his digital life...
But...
A little about why I went with the min in the first place...
I bought a Dual 1.8 G5 PowerMac not long ago, well when it came out. Since day one I had serious problems with it. It was so bad that Apple even sent me a replacement, but that only came back with other problems. The first one had a logic board defect, it just panicked almost all the time... (On each startup there was a good chance my monitor went blue and a lot of cryptic codes were written all over the screen. Even when I tried the hardware test DVD, it couldn't complete it because it went into panic mode and I had to pull the plug cause nothing responded on the G5.)
Ok, so I waited almost 3 weeks for the new one, while I was in the middle of a project (which died because of this), and I was really pulling hairs by this time. So the new Powermac arrived, and I had to return my faulty G5 to where I got it. I live on the 4th floor and no elevators. 2 weeks before I got my G5 my back went out, so I don't have to tell anyone who owns a G5 Powermac just how heavy it is. Perhaps out of the box it wouldn't be so back but the box was big enough to house a small family. The new ones are smaller I see.
Ok, the new one arrived, and it didn't panic or do the things that the other machine did. However it was birthed with entire new set of problems which started to show up a little bit at a time. These problems presented them selves in strange bottleneck results. Applications such as iTunes would suffer with a G5 Dual 1.8 powermac and 1GB of Ram. The specs were directly from Apple. I didn't add anything to it.
A friend of mine has a G4 400mhz and I am telling you, that sometimes, that machines does things FASTER than my G5 Dual 1.8Ghz. That blew my mind...
I have to be honest, the hammer fell hardest when I pre-ordered Apple's Aperture in hopes of really getting some kind of real harmony between my Mac and my Nikon D50. But alas, when I got it, tried to install it, it said it could NOT be installed on my machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yet the Apple seller, on the phone said, SUUUURREE it can, why couldn't it... I thought ; well yeah it is suppose to be the best and fastest mac out there, why would it have a problem with it? But I was wrong... and when I called them telling them that I couldn't install the app, they didn't want to cut me some slack. So I was stuck with Aperture 1.0... It looked good on the shelf, but that is all... It was a waste of money....
To be honest, I simply gave up at that time... I have just had so many problems with the G5 I have, that I wanted to downgrade to something that just did, the normal jobs of everyday work, such as surfing the web, emailing, occasional Photoshopping( With Adobe's press note telling us not to hold our breaths for any Uni-Photoshop this year, kind of feels like a kick in the teeth).
So, I didn't expect much from the mini. I know I couldn't do heavy work on it but all in all, speed wise, it is as fast as my G5 on a good day.
So aside from Rosetta, which is a real drag when you use it, it is a pretty good little machine... Just hope they will sort out these problems sooner than they did with so many other macs with ticks and bugs.
Again, thank you for answering my questions... I didn't quite understand the RAM thing, but you might be right, I just didn't encounter that on my G5...
Take care and have a great day! -
How do i delete all the photos that are in that Photo app? it is eating up all my memory
how do i delete all the photos that are in that Photo app? it is eating up all my memory
Photos transferred from your computer are removed from the iPhone the same way they were transferred from your computer, via the iTunes sync process. To remove all such photos, deselect Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera followed by deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. -
Non interactive zlogin eats up all CPU on Solaris 10 u4
Hi,
We are having trouble with a zlogin command that is started via a script from inittab on a Solaris 10 u4 system.
When a zlogin command is started from the script this zlogin will within 10-15 seconds start spinning and consume 97-98% of the CPU. The zlogin command never ends, and the startup is stuck there.
Running a pstat during the zlogin shows the following picture:

Can I delete a later backup and keep the latest one as to not eat up all my space?
Can I delete a later backup and keep the latest one as to not eat up all my space?
Are you talking about Time Machine backups on a Time Capsule?
It is fine to delete the backup as long as you are sure there is nothing you want.. and do a new clean backup. That will be the least possible space usage for a working backup.. Never delete files out of an existing backup.. it is very hard to manually delete files in the backup.
We do not recommend it. -
What can be done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.
Dear Adviser
This is NOT a bug report or an enhancement request.
We are looking for advice on a customer support call.
We are using iPlanet Webserver 4.1 SP7 and iPlanet Directory
Server 4.12 on Solaris 2.8.
We are checking to see if there is any engineering
documentation or quick pointers on LDAP database file
sizes and cache file sizes that may relate to a
reported problem.
Thank you for your time and co-operation in advance.
We have been working on a TIBCO/Portal Builder customer
issue that does not seem to have guidance in end
user documentation. This is related to a significant
increase in LDAP and cache file sizes (which at this
point do NOT seem to affect any performance). Is this
something that you are aware of from your QA/performance
tests? The problem seems to have suddenly cropped
up and we are attempting to isolate the triggerring event.
We started with the possibility that it is
a. Solaris Platform issue
OR
b. LDAP issue
We have done several experiments to isolate specific
issues as described below. We have researched
Sun/iPlanet web site and technical sites on the net.
Currently, we believe that the LDAP database size is increasing
because the Portal has been configured with pages
that have a lot of "Personalized" panes. Users are visiting
these pages, and getting automatically subscribed to these
panes, which add corresponding entries in the LDAP server.
Please find below the listing of all the files (from LDAP
DB directory) which are growing very fast. Kindly advise what can be
done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.

Tibco SupportThis may be perfectly normal behavior for the LDAP server. If some application is adding a lot of data to the server, the database will necessarily grow. You can look at the access log to find out the IP address of the client, the BIND dn of the client, and the operations from that client. Perhaps this will help you narrow down the culprit.

Something is eating up all my memory on my Mac Book Pro.
I think that I downloaded some virus that is eating up all of my memory on my Mac Book Pro. I had 50 gb and not it's zero...Thank you.
Sorry, but where and what is The Finder? I am running Tech Tool to check out my Apple Macbook Pro. My Apple disc utility says that I had
40 GB and then it went down to zero with very little usage. I am an honest person, Ogelthorpe, and I made a mistake by looking at Chatterbate and
maybe this **** site had a virus on it? I also looked at some old Busby Berkeley movies on You Tube. The hard drive problems occurred right after these
two searches. I have been erasing unnecessary things but as soon as I get some free space, it just disappears again, right away. It is like a stomach
worm in a dog that eats whatever hard drive space that I can muster...Thank you, again, Ogelthorpe, and it is now 3:45 PM in Caserta, Italy...Grazie! -

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Addressbooksync and sync serviceagency are eating up all my memory
Acording to the Activity monitor, Addressbooksync and syncserviceagency are eating up all my memory. I force quit both of them but they come back on their own. When I force quit the complet apple software, when it comes back on it starts the mail program on its own, it their a way to stop this? The memory usage problem seems to have started when I asked Address book to check to duplicates - how do we get things back to normal?
You need to connect your device to the computer, and 'unsync' them via iTunes, if they are albums that were created by syncing the device. Otherwise, you can manually delete phots that were taken on the device that are in Camera Roll.

Ubd was eating up all network bandwidth after latest upgrade.
Hello,
When the OS X 10.8.2-update (2.0) was installed on my MacBook Air,
Dec 3 20:49:53 MacBookAirPatrick.local installd[914]: Installed "Aanvullende OS X 10.8.2-update" (2.0)
My MacBook Air start to use all my bandwidth.
The reason seems to be the process ubd. I removed this via:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Ubiquity.framework/Versions/A/Support/ubd
What is this process used to and was removing this the right action?
Thanks.I was given a link to this thread by an AppleCare representative.
I noticed that in the last few days we had been getting through significantly more data than normal - even overnight when the computers are relatively idle it was using about 7 GB.
I was able to log into my Draytek Vigor 2710 router and find out that it was the IP address of my Mac Pro that was using all the data.
Then I used Little Snitch Network Monitor to see what processes were using all the data. As mentioned above it was ubd - and more specifically it was 3 processes - p03-ubiquity.icloud.com, p03-content.icloud.com and another called something like blob. something .windows.net (apparently this is cloud storage used by iCloud).
Concurring with what was said above, I was told it was Documents and Data that seemed to be the problem. I signed out of iCloud and allowed it to delete everything from my Mac Pro, then signed in and restored everything except Documents and Data.
My plan is to see how things go without using iCloud Documents and Data - and if no further problems I'll try ticking that again and monitor it closely.
My suspicion is that some corruption occurred with iCloud documents or the sync process (second problem I've had with iCloud so far).
It's a shame because things like this NEVER seem to happen with Dropbox - even though I use Dropbox far more extensively and for far longer. -
My iPod64Touch is frozen at that screen, with no way to get to settings. I have even pressed the top (on/off) button and the button at the bottom (front) at the same time, and it just returns to the frozen screen. Let it drain, recharged, and get the same screen. I'm sure this is Apple's way of forcing me to send all my 6674 items to my new MBP(Yosemite), and know it will not include my Amazon purchases and personal CDs that are on the old MBP. I don't use videos, photos, or anything other than music on the iPods.

iPodTouch 64 ------------------------------------12/24/14 9:33pm
iPodTouch 64 - Feb 14, 2015 7:07pm ----12/24/14 9:33pm
I use this device in the cars only, and have played it many times until last week, when I got the frozen screen after disconnecting from my husband's car. The CAR couldn't have tried an update, right? I forgot about Sync, didn't I? I've now checked the box to "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". Why didn't I see that before now? It's possible that the update was so large, that the iPodTouch wouldn't take it and just quit, without completing the update, but left me this unresponsive screen.
So can I safely just plug the USB from the iPod64 into the older 2008 MBP and update it from there (WITHOUT DANGER OF LOSING ENTIRE COLLECTION)? Make it simple; I'm 74 and not as savvy as I used to be! I tend to zone out with long descriptions, but if you have to....fire away...between hubby and me, we can usually figure it out.
I haven't migrated from older to newer MBP or to iPad4 yet because I wanted to be selective in doing so. I am offloading all my photos, digital art, documents and important Applications onto separate thumb drives, before upgrading the old MBP, and will probably backup the whole thing on a new external backup drive, too. Then, will upgrade to Snow Leopard (the last update the 2008 MBP will take), and use it almost exclusively offline.
I have a 'Classic iPod' that I purposely haven't updated since the last of '14. All purchases from all sources are on there (as on the '08MBP) and I want to keep it that way. We keep it in players and do not plan to update it or play anywhere else, except perhaps with headphones or through the tuner occasionally. I'm assuming it is safe from the same fate?

*** Updated - FIgured this out right after I posted... I simply selected all contacts on the iMac, exported as a .vcf then dragged that into the MBP contacts ***
Problem solved...
*Original Question*
I have a MacBook Pro (MBP) running Mavericks... syncs contacts via iCloud with my iOS devices. My iMac is an original intel model from 2006 which can only run Snow Leopard. I have many contacts on that iMac that I would like to copy into the contacts on my MBP.
I used the 'Address Book Archive' feature on my iMac - transferred that to a flash drive then tried to import into the MBP contacts at which point it said it would replace the contents on my MBP... something I do NOT want to do.
Does anyone have a way of bringing all of my iMac contacts in to the MBP without replacing?
I appreciate any help... Thank you !
Mike
