Reportcrash using over 100% of my MacBook's CPU

My 13" MacBook Pro overheats and the fan is very loud. I checked the Activity Monitor and Reportcrash is using 100%+ of my CPU. Help!

Select that process in Activity Monitor, then click on the Quit button in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button from the dialog.

ReportCrash using over 100% cpu after opening photoshop cs6

Currently running Mavericks on my macbook pro & just started noticing a problem. I'm sure its been there for a while, judging by past performance of photoshop, but just now caught it in activity monitor.
After I launch photoshop CS6, AM automatically shows ReportCrash as using upwards of 100% cpu, which explains why my computer seems to be dying when i'm working in the program.
As far as I could get with this problem on my own is checking concole to see what might be causing the process to appear. Not sure how to fix the problem though, which is why I come to the forums seeking guidance!
thanks in advance for any help!

Same thing is happening to me. Seems like it started about a week ago, fan is running a whole lot now. I'm not saying it's the cause but the "top" utility shows /System/Library/CoreServices/ReportCrash running at 103% - 105%. Weird.
Changes: In the past 10 days Software Update delivered new versions of OS X 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5, and I installed and ran DiskAid 6.5.3 and evasi0n7-mac-1.0.7. Also, Chrome began to hang several times a day in the past week so I removed it and re-installed it, which seems to have solved that problem.
Anybody else hearing the fan a lot and seeing these 100%+ utilitizations lately?

Premiere Pro using over 100% CPU

When I open up Premiere Pro, it is using about 6.5% CPU. I can cut, move around in the timeline and add effects ok. But when I play the video (even if its just one track with no effects) my computer starts running very hot and Premiere starts using over 500% CPU. the CPU cores heat to the 90s Celsius. Below are some specs, let me know if you need more to help answer. Thanks!!!
MacBook Pro
OS X 10.9.4
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Adobe Premiere Pro CS 6 - version 6.0.0
Here's the CPU and temps before Premiere plays anything...
Here's while it is playing through a video...

First of all, I strongly recommend that you update to 6.0.5. You'll reap the rewards of many bug fixes. I won't venture whether that alone will help with the temperature.
As you probably know, video processing is one of the most processor-intensive activities you can ask your computer to do. Exactly how hard your CPUs will be pushed depends on at least four factors:
The type of video, namely the codec. Those that use interframe compression are much more processor-intensive than intraframe compression.
the resolution, or pixel dimensions, of the video: higher resolution = more pixels = more work
the number of layers in your sequence. And be aware that if you're using nested sequences, you need to include all the layers in each of them.
effects. Some effects like scaling and color correction require a lot of processing.
One key data point you left out regarding your computer is the graphics card. A card that supports GPU processing will take a lot of the stress off of the CPU. From the system specs you provided, I gather you're on the Late 2011 MBP. If it has a 6750M or 6770M with 1GB of VRAM, then it's supported for CS6, but not if you have the 512MB version. (Here are system requirements for CS6: System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro)

Tasks using over 100% of CPU?

There are a few Root tasks that occasionally use more than 100% of my CPU according to my Activity Monitor. One of them was at 148% at one point.
There is usually just one Root task that uses that much CPU whenever I open my Macbook from sleep or it just happens at random times. And the only way to stop it is to force quit the task that is making it do that. It all started after I was ripping a DVD using iSkySoft and it froze so I had to force quit. Once it quit, the CPU problem came up.
Why does it do this? Do I just have to check the Activity Monitor every now and then to delete the Root tasks that use a lot of CPU? Is there a way to permanently make it stop?

Well the root task problem stopped but now I just turned on the computer and Finder was using about 80% CPU for some reason but it seems to be working now after I quit it in Activity Monitor and brought it back up again.

Web browser processes use over 100% CPU (OS 10.6.8)

Hey, I know this problem has come up a lot in the last couple of years, but I've looked everywhere, at every thread and possible solution to my problem and none have ever worked, so as a last resort I'm going to just straight up ask bout again and hope I'm missing something.
So whenever anything on my browser is moving, wether it be Flash, HTML 5, Java or even an embedded video, on every browser I've tried from Opera to Safari and every time it will put two or three processes related to the browser up to 60%, usually amounting to over 120%. I have tried doing a fresh install of Snow Leopard, which only softened the problem for a small while. This problem, and a couple others started happening after the 10.6.8 update was installed. I have never installed Safar Extensions, I have fixed permissions, cleared caches, binned files, tried running Safari under 32-bit and 32-bit Rosetta.
Nothing works. After 20 seconds of a youtube video my macbook will freeze and ask me to hold down the power button. If I download the video through activity and play it in VLC it's fine. If I play it in Quicktime it's fine for 20 seconds and then the video stutters and slows right down before the audio stops and Quicktime refuses to play anything unless it's closed.
Among other problems caused by the update: Alt 3 is no longer hash, it just turns my cursor into a crosshair temporarily and MDS/MDworker sometimes randomly decide they're going to join in on the rogue processes for a while. I'm so close to having to sell a bunch of stuff in order to get a laptop so I can finish my uni course, it's particularly horrible knowing that I rely on my macbook for all my university work and gigs yet it's been letting me down so much.
Model Name:          MacBook
Model Identifier:          MacBook2,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          1.83 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          2 MB
Memory:          2 GB

Oh, I posted this to the Macbook forum as it's ambiguous whether the update caused a hardware/software confliction, since a fresh install of Snow Leopard did not work.

Motion is so slow and is using over 100% of my cpu?

hi i am just learning motion but am hitting a brick wall, any help would really appreciate it,
i am using motion 3 on a g5 dual 2.7 ghz with 5.5 gb of ram and have replaced the original graphics card with the ATI Radeon X800 XT,
it either quits when opening with a template or when i put an effect like echo on it will be so slow that i cant work, i checked on the activity monitor and it is using 103 % of the cpu, which also prevents me using any other program even safari.
what should i be doing as i thought the new graphics card would solve this ?
any ideas? i am hoping its just a matter of changing the settings or preferences somewhere so i can get maximum use out of this expensive new card?
cheers a million to any helpful solutions
simon

cheers for your reply,
okay so i will update the operating system( i think i have updated i just havent updated it in the forum
i have just put the graphics card in,(i havent noticed an improvement yet)
so maybe i need to look at the ati website and download the latest driver for the card.
i empted the ram preview and deleted the plist, this seemed to run better.
cheers again any more suggestions i really appreciate.

Used over $100,000 in credit, here is what happened to my score

Inspired by the guy that talked about how mortgage troubles affected his score (I think he lost his house), I felt inspired to talk about the largely inconsequential wild fluctuations in my credit score In January I went from about 0% utilization to about 65% utilization. The average age of my accounts are 2 years and 5 months. It's just an average. This hasn't all reported yet, credit karma currently reports 55% utilization. My Vantage Scores went from 770 down to 554 in 30 days. This is a 216 point drop. Vantage Score you laugh, well I also have opened some accounts as part of this process and have therefore received the scores the lender actually pulled during my credit evaluations, which I have to assume are FICO, these so far have been 663 or so. It is also entirely probable that the lenders have scores that were last updated a few months ago, so I get to assume the worst. The actual cash I pulled from the cards is sitting tight as it is all 0% interest balance transfers. I'll let you all know if Macy's (my lowest limit card) gets spooked and gives me another credit limit decrease, hysterical. I haven't updated my signature in a while, those limits are not accurate any longer. The point is to let you guys know which one of these creditors can actually make good on the credit they've extended to you, and which ones will likely pull the lifeline when you actually need it the theory is that a lot of you guys are wasting your time here trying to get above-average credit, or maybe even to the place where I am with limits, so we'll see if it's worth it!

American Express just unilaterally closed the card I have with them, this was a $30,000 line, so this ironically greatly increases the ulitization of my open lines, which will lower my score further! Unless I start deleveraging ASAP, which I won't but I can see this turning into a cascading credit network failure, as now my utilization is higher and the next lender(s) may find that more risky. Protip: American Express will not follow through when you actually need credit. So, enjoy those 3x CLI soft pulls, but they mean nothing as AMEX is not actually granting you anything but a number. Remember guys, I voluntarily dropped by credit score 218 points in the course of 30 days. I expect the equation to rebalance upwards 218 points when I voluntarily raise my credit score. (I've done similar things in a less drastic way before, and the score recalculates back upwards, instead of gradually over time, but I'll chronicle that process here too) If I'm going to play this game, I want to know which one of my lenders are strong, and which ones are weak. And in what order they renege on available credit. I want all those people complaining about arbitrary 6 point changes in their credit score, to know what is worthwhile and what is not.Not surprised that Amex closed. They are really spend centric on the charge card side but conservative and react quickly when you appear to carry increaising balances elsewhere. I've put 60k on Amex which is well above all of my revolving CLs combined but I don't revolve anything. I suspect if I started to revolve elsewhere my spend ability woulld drastically shrink. It's an interesting experiment you are doing because it will statistically look a lot like bust out fraud and a lot of large banks are monitoring those metrics. There is a non-significant possibility you could see major AA. Hopefully you will get csr/underwriter calls first rather than a shoot first response.

I was using the iCloud finder app, and it showed the computer that I'm using is over 100 miles away when it's not. Help?

I was using iCloud's location service, and it showed that the computer I'm using is over 100 miles away from where it actually is. Can't figure it out. Switched location on and off on the Macbook Pro, but it hasn't made any difference. It's showing a location I've never been to.

You do not need to sign into their Wi-Fi.
Your mac will determine its position using Wi-Fi positioning system (WPS)
It will look for the strong access points and look up the position in a database. After moving, the database entry for a moved access point may still be wrong. I don't know, what you could do at your end, since you cannot change the skyhook database.

When my iPod syncs, over 100 songs no longer download. What happened? They used to download but now they don't.

When my iPod syncs, over 100 songs (much of the library, actually) no longer download. What happened? This used to work just fine.

This just happened to me this morning. When I left work on Friday, everything was working in iTunes. And now this morning, I open up iTunes and nothing plays. I did all the troubleshooting from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610 and nothing helped. Anyone have any ideas???
Dell Windows XP Pro

I downloaded the new version of iTunes and now over 100 songs have an exclamation mark beside them and won't play. The message says: "The song ... could not be used because the original file could not be found." How do I get these songs back?

Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

Over the last few wks, i have lost several important file. Even the support team has not been able to recover them. Pls offer advice. I use microsoft office on my macbook pro, which is less than a year old.ce.

You did not steal my thunder. You asked for advice, I provided advice. I assumed that since you nor the "support team" could find your files that you did not have any backup. You should have told us you do regular backups. We have no way to know otherwise unless you tell us.

In the process of reformatting my macbook pro, I saved everything but my keyword list. The keywords are with the images, but the total list I use under "Keywords" is not present. Is there a way to re-create all my keywords I've used over the last 6 year

In the process of reformatting my macbook pro, I saved everything but my keyword list. The keywords are with the images, but the total list I use under "Keywords" is not present. Is there a way to re-create all my keywords I've used over the last 6 years.

I accomplished what I needed last night. I remembered I had picked my favorite images from each year and put them in a "favorite" folder by year. These folders included 500 to 1200 images per year. I pulled up the folder for each year and highlighted all images and clicked on "Keywords" and all keywords used for all images were listed. I made those keywords persistent. It took me a while to realize I had to click on each keyword to make it persistent. After doing this for all years, I assume 95% of all keywords I have used over the many years were back in my list. I'm sure there is probably a more "technical" way to accomplish what I needed, but this seems to have worked. I also exported my list into a word document and is saved on my hard drive.
If I had not made folders with my favorite images for each year, I could not have used this method, so if you figure out a better way, I like to hear it. Thanks for your comments and willingness to help.

CPU running over 100% using Roxio Toast

Hello,
I am using Roxio Toast and noticed that songs are skipping, I checked my CPU and it is going over 100%, when this happens.
My activity monitor show no other programs are running.
Any idea why my computer is running over 100% on one single program?
Thank you,
Bmac

single threaded and can't be broken up. Most likely written before hyper-threading and not optimized. Don't feel too bad, Apple had trouble also in 2009 and hadn't caught on and had audio code in that would spike processor core and overhead the system and wasn't rectified in 10.5.7+ but took 10.6.2+ to work around.
So what version are you using and is this the latest? And what about any other processes or something? A system can't run w/o lots of other processes, even if you aren't running a main foreground program, plug-ins, background, they all do matter.
My guess is like every thread almost, more input is needed about your system.
By itself it is just being inefficient.

Organizer 12 - how to: zoom over 100%, use the Trackpad, compare images?

English Version below.
Hallo zusammen. Ich bin von Apple Aperture auf PSE 12 gewechselt. Nun habe ich meine 11500 Fotos im Organizer und ein paar Startschwierigkeiten.
Ich habe in den Voreinstellungen angegeben, dass man Fotos auf über 100% skalieren darf. Das funktioniert aber nicht. Fotos werden immer nur im Fenster eingepasst, wenn der Zoomhebel ganz nach rechts steht.
Einzig in der Vollbildansicht kann man über 100% skalieren. Dies funktioniert aber auch, wenn ich die Voreinstellung dazu nicht gesetzt habe.
ie vergleiche ich mehrere Bilder? Im Handbuch steht beschrieben, dass man dazu aus dem Menü Ansicht -> Bilder Vergleichen wählen soll. Diesen Menüpunkt gibt es bei mir nicht.
Auch bei dem Druck auf F12 geschieht bei mir nichts. Kann ich die Tastenfunktionen irgendwo neu zuweisen?
Zu guter Letzt: kann ich die Zoom & Pinch Funktion des Magic Trackpads irgendwie einschalten? Das vermisse ich sehr. Da war Aperture sehr Bedienerfreundlich.
English Version
Hi there. I switched from Apple Aperture to PSE 12. Now I have my 11500 photos in the Organizer and a few teething problems.
I have specified in the preferences that you can resize photos to over 100%. This does not work. Photos are always fitted only in the window when the zoom lever is all the way to the right.
Only in the full-screen view you can scale over 100%. However, this also works if I have not set the setting in the preferences.
How do I compare multiple images? The manual describes to select from the View menu -> Compare images. This menu item does not exist for me. (German Version)
Also by pressing F12, nothing happens. Can I re-assign the button functions somewhere?
Last but not least: How can I use the zoom & pinch from the Magic Trackpad? I 'm missing that very much. Aperture was very user friendly with that.

You cannot zoom in on an more that fitting the screen space will looking at images in the Organizer's image well. This size may be much smaller than 100%.
There is no preference to "resize photos to over 100%".
There is also not a Compare option in the View menu.
To do either of these options (from the Organizer) you have to be in the Full Screen mode. From here, you can use the mouse wheel (or trackpad) to zoom up to 1600%. You can also compare images by selecting the Side-by-Side or Top/Bottom display from the "View" Options button on the Full Screen options bar.
To use the F-keys, you have to add the Command key, so Command+F12 will open the Full Screen Mode in side-by-side compare view.
If you purchased Photoshop Elements as a replacement for Aperture, there are a lot of differences that you will have to adjust to. Photoshop Elements and Aperture are hardly complementary applications. If you were looking for something like Aperture, you should try Lightroom instead.

Hello Barbara and thank you for your answer.
I've ment side by side view. And it works by pressing F12 + cmd. Thanks.
Zoom & Pinch only works in the Editor, but not very well or smooth. And I couldn't tell you how often the Editior rotate my images unwanted ...
In the preferences of the Organizer, there is no point for a scroll wheel. And I'm really not able to zoom in the organizer over the "fitts in screen" size.
And I've found some more problems Sometime I'd like to export my images without any Exif/Metadata Information and resized. I haven't found any point do do so.
At the Moment, I'm thinking about switching back to Aperture, where I came from - I've tried to use PSE 'cause of Adobes Raw Converter, which is much much better with Olympus RAW Files than Apertures.
