Why are there dozens of "web process" pop ups after wipe and load of 10.6.8 on Mac Mini by Genius Bar?

I just had my Mac Mini (early 2009) in at the Genius Bar as it was running very slow. They did a multi hour scan of the harddrive, etc. Did not find any hardware problems. They did a wipe and loaded 10.6.8 on the Mini. The Apple folks were great to work with. I picked it up today and and set it all up. Using Safari, I am now going through 6-12 "Web Process" with each and every web page I go to!! Safari is completely unusable in this fashion. Can this be changed or must I use a different web browser.

Good morning,
Not quite sure what you mean by 6/12 'web process' with every page I go to. The version 5.1.7 is correct for the Snow Leopard OS X.
Run a software update, just in case the geniuses didn't, and check if you or they have installed any Safari extentions. If so delete / disable them all and try again.
If Safari then shows signs of normality, reinstall the extentions one at a time until you find the one that is causing the problem.
Oh, and have you got 'Block pop up windows' checked in Safari menu?

Why are there two ns-httpd processes running for one instance of iws 6

Hi all,
I'm used to iWS 4.x where there's only one watchdog and one ns-httpd process running for any given install of iWS. Now in iWS 6.x I noticed there are two processes for the admin server and two processes for the actual single web server instance, along with two watchdogs.
What are the extra web server instances doing? I noticed that there is a 'parent' relationship with the pid's, so I guess one is spawning the other, but why? If it's to have persistent state over restart, isn't that what uxwdog is for?
Thanks in advance,
James Huang

Web Process Pop Ups

I keep getting these annoying these WebProccess pop ups every time I try to access a new page on the internet & when my Mac starts up. I have to keep allowing the connection to these ports.
I didn't even know I had a firewall on my Mac, is there particular software that causes these pop ups?
How can I get rid of them?
Thanks

I only get these infuriating pop-ups when browsing via the latest version of Safari. When using Firefox 4.0 with Little Snitch, I have no problems.
Currently using Ghostery to prevent info back flow (Google Analytics, Adplex, etc) but again, no problems with FireFox or Little Snitch.

Why are there so many inactive processes running on my computer?, etc.

Hi,
This issue might already be addressed but my MacBook Pro has been really slow lately and when I checked the activity monitor, the inactive processes take up half of the system memory. Usually, how much space is this supposed to take? I only have the basics plus Sophos running. I've been trying to check to see what's running but sometimes some disappear and appear momentarily. In general, what's the idea or normal composition of system memory? Any help would be much appreciated.
Usually, this affects Safari which is slow when I switch between tabs, etc. Now, the browser has been quitting more frequently with the Java 10.4-.5 message appearing. What should I do to remedy that problem?
Many thanks for any input!

It is normal for there to be quite a number of inactive processes.
the inactive processes take up half of the system memory
There is some confusion in what you are asking. Are you talking about inactive memory? Inactive processes will not be using any CPU, but they may have inactive memory allotted to them. This is memory that, should another process require it, can be reallocated to that other process. It's like a kind of caching: it can quickly be drawn upon should the inactive process become active again and need it. In the meantime, it is free for any process to use. It is not being wasted or used.
Usually, how much space is this supposed to take?
You are introducing the word "space" here. I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I don't think it's applicable.
I've been trying to check to see what's running but sometimes some disappear and appear momentarily.
That is normal for Activity Monitor. I think you need to have a better understanding of Activity Monitor.
http://oreilly.com/pub/a/mac/2005/10/04/activity-monitor.html
Sophos may be slowing down your computer. You should turn off its always-on scanning feature (or whatever it's called) and just run it on demand.

Why are there 26 firefox.exe processes running when the taskbar shows none?

Win 7 professional, Firefox 25.0.1. If I shut down Firefox and restart it I often get an error that a copy is already running. Checking the Task Manager shows many firefox.exe processes (26 this morning) even though the application tab shows none.

Hello Axis,
Can you please confirm if this happens each time you are using Firefox? Also, the cache size wouldn't have a big bearing on this issue happening. Can you please try if this issue happens when you are running Firefox in safe-mode (instructions below). if it doesn't then we can narrow the issue to a plugin / addon.
<hr>
Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

Why is there a spider web on my Yahoo email drafts and how do I make it go away?

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/784172''
I simply type an email in my sbcglobal.net on yahoo account. Then I save it to Drafts. Then I return to edit or add text, and something strange happens: All the text is laid out exactly as I had written it, but a sprinkling of tiny squares and arrows appears on top of the text. It reminds me of a spider web. I clicked on a few of these symbols. Some would completely delte the document. Others would move the borders to the left or right. I want to avoid seeing this in the future and how do I get rid of it?

Try using CCleaner: http://www.piriform.com/ (:

Newbie: why are there multiple process started?

Hi I have a simple question to ask...
Q1. Why are there multiple process for webserver instance and http-admserv for a default installed web server? Please refer below:
$ ps -ef | grep web
root 931 930 0 Jan 21 ? 0:00 webservd -r /opt/SUNWwbsvr -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/https-admserv/config -n https-adms

jes 6203 5994 0 10:52:36 pts/2 0:00 grep web
I understand we need 1 watch dog for web server and 1 for admin server but why 2 process for "https-mta01.mydomain.com" and "https-admserv"?
Q2. This is in relation to Q1. If I need to turn on CA Agent for monitoring, which process should I monitor for web server instance and also for http-admserv?
Newbie.

Ans1) That is by design and default behavior. There is one watch-dog process and 2 webservd processes that get started by default. The first webservd is called primordial and the second child webservd is the one that actually serves all the HTTP requests.
Example:
# ptree 6898
6898 ./webservd-wdog -r /space/iws61sp2 ...
6899 webservd -r /space/iws61sp2 -d ..
6900 webservd -r /space/iws61sp2 -d ...
In this example, the pid 6898 is called the watchdog process,
6899 webservd process is called the primordial process
and the pid 6900 is called the child webservd process that actually serves all the HTTP requests.
Ans2) You would monitor the child webservd process.

If i am the only user and owner of my macbook, then why are there 78 users in the directory editor?

Hi guys just wanted to know little bit about the open directory as my MacBook Pro has been playing up on and off at least a couple of years. I have been advised by Apple over the phone or as well as over the genius bar in trying to get my mac to behave. This normally solves whatever problem that has been happening at the time. "Great, job done!"... Not so much, as another problem eventually shows it's ugly pixelated face again and then we end up going round the Infinite loop ride one more time... And this ride ain't always free! I have forked out about £600 on it so far and it wasn't cheap in the beginning! Anyway I have just got off the ride and before I get punched by a plyst to get back on I would rather learn about the things I don't understand so hopefully I can resolve the matter without hair loss. So my main question so far is why are there 78 user names (most of which are computer related names, not all) are found in Directory Utility? I do not play games on my Mac it is mainly used for media such as iPhoto, iTunes, pages, mail and surfing the net. So which out these 78 users do I select as a server?
If you have any suggestions or pointers then please post a reply.
Thanks for reading
Orion

So which out these 78 users do I select as a server?
None. It's normal. Make no modifications.
It's not clear what trouble you are experiencing, or if anything is wrong at all. If your Mac is not behaving as you expect it should, describe what's wrong in as much detail as possible.
Include all relevant details regarding your MacBook Pro starting with which one of its three dozen models you have. Posting the results of EtreCheck will help with that. Read about it here.

D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time. It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates. In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud? If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
#3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
#4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for? If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have. Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well. It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

Why are there two separate JWS forums?

There's this forum and http://www.javadesktop.org/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=45 - shouldn't they be merged? Why are there two? Which one is the "official" one?

This forum, (the java developers forums) pre-date javadesktop.org, and as can be seen by the total thread count (5000+ threads vs 64 topics) has a lot more activity on the yopic of Java Web Start.
Javadesktop.org was created in 2003, and since it has much overlap with generic java development they also created a thread in their forum for Java Web Start.

Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over? Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes?

Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over?
Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes? There's tv series I'd like but they're incomplete like The Batman & Xena Warrior Princess. And films theta aren't available for download but you can purchase in a store like HMV? Apple isn't doing itself any favours by secluding countries by their store. They'd make billions if you could just select the iTunes Store you want to search & purchase from just by signing in! If anything what they're doing is putting themselves into a corner, other companies like Samsung & HTC are already on too of them for innovation & ease of use. The people they're attracting are predominantly existing Apple users not new customers. What do you guys think?

It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell a particular item where the content provider/rights-holder has granted them a license to sell them. Content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store, and you have to be in a country to use its store - they want control over where their content is available.
You can try requesting that an item be added to the UK store via this page, but unless the rights-holder agrees to then Apple won't be able to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Why are there so many flash updates?

Why are there so many Flash updates… I have had two in the last week and at least one more since the start of the year. It seems to have really got silly this last 12 months, is Flash really that unsecure and unstable that it needs this many fixes and updates?
I know you can tick the install in background box when updating but I like to know what is going onto my computer and given Adobe's knack of crashing my system when using PS and AI I don't really want them silently installing anything.

99% of the time the update gets prompted by Youtube or BBC when videos won't play on there sites and I follow the links through them. You would like to think that big sites like these would not allow false links to malware to crop up, but it isn't out of the question. Next stop, up to date anti virus…..
As far as Youtube goes I thought they had adopted HTML 5 now as standard and didn't rely on Flash?
