Why is calendar agent using 90 percent of memory when it is not open?

The computer also has been freezing when I use apple's mail and the calendar.  I have to do a hard shutdown and then log on again.  Other programs are not affected.

RyanLost, I would strongly recommend ALL FF users BLOCK updates, as long as Mozilla is rushing out buggy updates. I generally don't like to automatically update anyway, but I SURE don't want to have automatic updates when Mozilla is more concerned with putting out new releases than fixing the problems with the old releases.
The fact so many people are complaining about FF6 seems to confirm this. It's one step up, two steps back, for many people. It's not just like an incremental bug fix release. No, it has new and buggy features added.
If 5.x and 6.x were merely improvements on the stability of 4.x, I could have agreed it's "nothing to worry about". But, as you said, the memory is hemorrhaging.
Definitely, I suggest you revert your version and wait until Mozilla actually FIXES a release and the news on the wires is that it's fixes, and not just a buggy new one.

  • How do I stop FF from opening everytime I want to use the XPS Viewer,even when FF is not open at the time

    This is actually a workaround answer for the question at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/943960 , which has been archived.
    This problem persists for me in FF 27.0.1. The source of the problem can be found in this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358297 which Mozilla seems to think has been fixed.
    Basically, the MS xps reader program thinks it needs to open MS Internet Explorer, but it does this by opening the default browser, which for us is probably FF.
    Here is the workaround:
    If you want to open an xps file in ms windows:
    * First right click on the file in ms explorer to get the context menu.
    * Choose "Open with" > "Choose program"
    * Instead of the default choices (if any) offered, choose "Internet explorer"
    * ALSO, check the check box "Always use the selected program to open this type of file."
    This will make Windows go straight to IE, which works for me. However, you will still have to have the underlying handler installed, presumably.

    1. "this is a really really old version of Firefox" Really? FF 27.0.1 is really old? It's the latest version as of today. Read my post more carefully.
    2. The bug was updated relatively recently by someone else, who was told to file a different bug. I do not have time to refile bugs that other people have already filed and updated. Among other things, I will be told to install the latest build and see if the bug persists.
    3. The purpose of my post here was to help others who might have the same problem.
    4. If you "have no idea", why did you feel the need to respond? I would rather hear responses from those who have some idea.

  • Calendar agent using all memory.

    I am running a late 2012 iMac running Mavricks. This morning my computer hung. After rebooting it it hung again in a few minutes. I ran activity monitor and noticed that the calendar agent process slowing uses all the memory and then the OS starts using virutal memory on disk causing the computer to be ususable. I found an article to run off the calendar agent that fixes the issue for now.
    launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
    Does anyone know why this all of a sudden would happen? I have not made any changes to my system recently, I use Gmail for my email and calendar.
    Thanks!

    I am using MacBook Pro 2014 Retina Display. Initially came with Mavericks and upgraded to Yosemite (10.10.2).
    Had the same Problem. Calendar Agent took nearly 6 to 7 GB of the RAM and left me with 15MB ram. Got really irritated. But found this after a hard struggle. I tried the above solutions, think didn’t quite work for me.
    Follow the steps you will get your problem solved.
    Backup all the calendar events to your iCloud by enabling calendar in the internet accounts from system preferences. (Do this step only if you need your events to be there).
    Then open TERMINAL and type.
    chflags nohidden /Users/*******/Library
    ******* represents your username or the name in which your mac is started with. This name can be seen from "Macintosh HD” then “Users” then the user which you are..
    After running the command then again type in TERMINAL
    chflags nohidden /Users/*******/Library/Containers
    Now close the TERMINAL after running it.
    Now, open finder and goto "Macintosh HD” then to “Users” then the user which you are then “Library” then “Calendars”.
    In “Calendars” you have got to delete some files.
    Those are:
    Calendar Cache
    Calendar Cache- shm
    Calendar Cache- wal
    Email Cache.plist
    Actually after deleting it,restarting PC solves the problem.
    Sometimes you can’t delete those files because the Calendar Agent uses them and is running in background.
    For that you have got to open Activity Monitor and Force Quit Calendar Agent and delete.
    Restart your PC. Then open Calendar. Nothing happens and is back to normal.

  • Using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
    Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
    Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

  • HT1933 why am i getting charges on my credit card when iu am not buying anything?

    why am i getting charges on my credit card when i am not buying anything?

    First, if you're using an iOS device, make sure that you did not inadvertently make an in-app purchase. Many apps, particularly games, are free for the base game but charge for additional features such as levels, "coins" and other such add-ons. Check your Purchase History to see if that reminds you as to what you might have purchased:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
    If you find that these were in-app purchases, to prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your device. For more information, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
    As to a refund, that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases, but there are no guarantees.
    If the charges are not in-app purchases that you made and forgot but the charges do appear in your Purchase History, contact the iTunes Store and let them know. You should also immediately change your password for your Apple ID. If the charges don't appear in your Purchase History, they were probably fake charges made directly to your credit card, and your card issuer will need to handle those.
    Regards.

  • Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all.

    Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all. Is the setting I need to change in Outlook or on the iPhone or is it somewhere else?  I used to have this setting but transferring Outlook to a new laptop somehow turned it off.

    No. You really can't do that. Not easily at any rate. You would have to set them both up to use POP3, but even then there is no way to guarantee that the phone won't poll the server prior to your computer doing so, pulling down the message from the server.

  • How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

    How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

  • My hotmail was open and I was using on my Mac Air, now it will not open

    My hotmail was open and I was using on my Mac Air, now it will not open
    What did I do and how do I open ?

    The app may not be iOS6 compatible. Have you tried to reset it? HOld down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red slider, and unitl you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps. If it doesn't, then I'd contact Kindle and see when they're going to update their app or if they even know there's an issue. Unfortunately, the burden is on app developers to be compatible with the operating system, not on the OS to be compatible with millions of apps. So it's up to them.

  • I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

    I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

    This is from my personal experience:
    It almost happens every time I tried to connect with Sync from my Android phone, the window asking me to enter my account name and password always shows up. And if I enter the information, it'll say I have the wrong password, etc. My workaround is to click the "cancel" button. But it does not cancel immediately. The window will stay on for a while (usually a few minutes), then it'll disappear and start connecting to Sync. And it'll connect and sync successfully.
    You can try this workaround but you have to be patient to wait for the window to disappear.
    I don't know what is the cause of this, but it has happened ever since FF4 for Mobile came out. I have searched around and couldn't find any solutions.

  • SQL Server Agent - [165] ODBC Error: 0, Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]. [SQLSTATE 08001]

    Hi,
    I keep receiving the error below in the SQL Server Agent Error Log;
    [165] ODBC Error: 0, Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2]. [SQLSTATE 08001]
    It is occurring approximately 20 times an hour and i cannot link it to any job failures. All jobs on the same SQL instance are working.
    The server is a clustered server and there are no errors occuring in the SQL Server error log at the same time. I have attempted to trace using profiler looking for errors and warnings but anything that does occur doesn't seem to correspond to the reported
    times of the errors within the sql agent error log.
    Please could someone point me where to look next?
    Many thanks.

    Please may I add that this is on a SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition patched to 10.50.1600.
    Nah, that server is not patched at all, because 10.50.1600 is the RTM version. Find Service Pack 2 and install at the next maintenance window, after having performed tests according to your local policy.
    It is not going to resolve your particular problem though.
    It seems like you have a job that attempts to a connect to s server that is down or non-existing. The job may be configured to return success also on failures. I would check if there are jobs that target other servers.

  • HT5557 why can i bye a book from itunes libery but it will not open on this pc

    why can i not open a book that i got from itunes on itunes

    The iBooks sold at the iTunes Store are only for iOS devices such as iPads and iPhones.  They cannot even be read on a Mac, much less a PC!
    If you wish to download books to read on your PC, get the Kindle Reading App for PC, and buy your e-books from the Kindle Store.
    The Kindle books can be used on PC, Mac, Kindle readers, and iOS devices, by use of the corresponding apps.

  • What to do when aperture will not open because of time machine which I don't use

    I do not use time machine and it is turned off. I even went as far as to exclude the aperture library from the backup IF it were turned on. I am still unable to open aperture as this is the message I receive when I try to repair the library: "aperture library cannot be opened until time machine has finished." Please help!
    The problem began when my power supply got interrupted and the power was cut unexpectedly while I was editing. When I restored the power and went to open aperture, it gives me this message (paste didn't work so I will type it):
    "There was an error opening the database for the library 'library name'. To repair your library, quit and restart Aperture while holding down the Command and Option keys."
    so, when I follow the instructions to repair, it gives me this
    (can't get it to paste, so I will copy message)
    aperture library cannot be opened until Time Machine has finished.
    Please help! I have to get these images to my client!
    Thanks!
    Angela

    Okay, I copied the library to another location and when I tried to open that library by pressing option at startup to choose the library, it told me the following:
    There was an error opening the database for the library "library name". The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported.
    So, I'm guessing that was a fail! I then tried the suggestion from Frank Caggiano, which also did not work. I'm feeling quite defeated. Looking for that magic touch
