Ads taking up too much CPU

I have a lot of problems with ads in chat software, but this one's new.
You have recently started serving a new ad for the Hungarian Vodafone, made in Flash. Sadly after a few loops it will use up a lot of CPU and render Skype itself (in particular!) unusable.
Right clicking the ad has stuff like "Some clever stuff by mito. www.mito.hu" in it. Attached a screenshot.

In any case, you should update Flashplayer (this week and the next for the new vunerabillity fix).
Found here : http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_ax.exe
You can also run Skype in Split view (compact view for older versions) found under view in skype main menu, without Skype home, to avoid large flash adds.
In general a normal PCs (mine is 4 years old for instance and have no issues), should not have issues with flash adds, unless there is an issue with the add itself.

Kernel_task taking up too much CPU after Mavericks update.

Hello!
I am running a Mac Book Pro 2.66 Ghz Intel Core i7. 8gb 1067MHz DDR3. OS X 10.9.1
Having just installed Mavericks, I've had a bunch of problems. One of them has been a new thing called kernel_task which can take up most my CPU from time to time.
I read a previous discussion and it seemed that some audio software had been the issue for a few people. However I do not recall installing or uninstalling any audio software. @linc_davis kindly offered up a diagnostics check, am hoping he or some other kind soul can make sense of the following terminal dumps please so I can find out which app is bringing me down!
Looking at the below, I certainly havent used or wanted the BB Rim software for a long time. Will try and download that and uninstall it again. Little snitch I know and use. and same with the mouse driver Evoluent, backblaze, peer guardian, macKeeper, and google. The others I don't recognise.
Thank you very much!

Start by following these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
Then, uninstall Trusteer Rapport. Your Mac cannot operate properly with it installed.
The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use "cleaning" or "security" products like MacKeeper. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

Theater 550 Pro's PowerCinema 4 take too much CPU resource?

Hello all Theater 550 Pro users,
I am experiencing Power Cinema 4 is taking too much CPU utilization on my PC, versus any other TV viewer apps like WinAmp TV, FlyTV, etc. CLCapSvc.exe is the process that blatantly taking most juice out of the CPU, causing TV viewing experience on Power Cinema 4 bad. Anyone know how to fix this? Any known patch for Powercinema4?
Now I'm using WinAmp's TV plugin until I find a better TV Viewer prog. Any suggestion?
Do you guys use any other TV Viewer app?

Thanks Stu. I'm still figuring how to get mediaportal working on my PC as over here only have analog TV, no EPG, no scheduler, no nothing... just plain old TV Viewer is all I want. However, PowerCinema4's CLCapSvc.exe issue shouldn't be ignored too...

Music Taking Up too Much Space on my hard drive...

Need some assistance... Have download approx. 30g. of Music Files on my 60 g. 5th. Generation iPod. At the same time I now have 30 g. of back-up files on my laptop hard drive....The music files are now taking up too much memory. I bought an 80 g. external hard drive and have copied all my music files onto it... (Accidentally deleted my downloaded music files last year off of my laptop. An expensive lesson!!! So now I download all music on a seperate external hard drive... Can I delete the existing music files off of my laptop, without losing all the stored music on my Ipod when I reconnect with my library on iTunes? I'd just like to safely remove music files from my laptops hard drive without accidentally deleting music already stored on my ipod! Need the memory on my laptop hard drive for other purposes... Anyone out there that can help me with this? Thanks!!!

Make sure in edit>preferences>advanced that you itunes points to its new loaction.
Also make sure that itune has copy music into new folder, and organise folder checks ticked to the on position.
Consolidate your library in itunes.
Then go through an double check each folder before deleting it from original location.
This will "copy" music and organise all your music into one location aswell as build Library.
You can add any folder that is missed as you check everything off.
It will not delete anything so you will need to manually delete as it is shifted.
Alternatively you can copy everything in exporer to the desired location & import entire folder into library. Once done, consilidate library, check for dublicates.

Apple mobile device service uses too much cpu time

Apple mobile device service uses too much cpu time, from 88% to 99% of the CPU time.

The best way to fix this is to completely remove all aspects of iTunes then reinstall. Step by step directions are on this article. Good luck

The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000). Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space. I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone. I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone. I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this. Thanks for any help.

What is the best way to manage my iPhoto, which is taking up too much space on my MacBook Pro?

What is the best way to manage my iPhoto, which is taking up too much space on my MacBook Pro?
Specifically, I'd like to keep some of my favorite pictures on the laptop while moving the rest to an external hard drive. Is there a way to tag just a few pictures inside an event/album as "favorite", while storing the rest in an EHD, but still keep them connected to the same event/album? I'd like to have just the favorite pictures on the laptop, but when I have the EHD connected, be able to view all my pictures in the same place, and not have to browse through separate hard drives. Ideally, whether or not a picture is designated as "favorite" will determine where it resides.
Is this at all possible?
I have only 7 GB left on my HD and I'm desperately needing a solution!
Thanks!

You need two libraries to do this. One on the external with all your Photos. One on the internal with a subset - your favourites. You do it this way to make backing up easier - that is, back up the library with everything, so you're only backing up one.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events/albums/photos you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

Firefox uses too much CPU ff3.6.3 any HELP?

Firefox uses way too much CPU. Running MAC OSX and ff 3.6.3 using "activity monitor" shows Firefox uses typically 96% of my CPU !!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I noticed my computer was getting s- l -o w- e -r

Hello Kr.
This kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
#run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe-mode] to disable all extensions, themes and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins, themes or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. Also, try the theme you want to have installed so see if that is what's causing the problem. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension/theme, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
#you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons. If you want to keep using those problematic add-ons, please contant their author for support.
Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
#try reinstalling Firefox. No data will be lost. You can get the latest version for free at [http://www.getfirefox.com/ getfirefox.com]. If that doesn't fix the problem, proceed;
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix your issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable them to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't work, proceed to the following point;
#update your modem/router software. There have been some reports that some modem/router software may cause Firefox and other browsers to loose performance and/or stability. If updating doesn't fix your issue, try other versions of the software, if possible. If you need support with this, contact your modem/router manufacturer. If this doesn't help, proceed;
#clean up your OS registry, using appropriate software. Make sure you've followed my instructions correctly, but if this all doesn't work, [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles create a new Firefox profile] (this can be temporary, of course) and see if the issues persist. Report here the results, so we can't help you further.

I cannot watch Flash vids because Firefox uses too much CPU.

Firefox has become untenable because it uses too much CPU and disrupts Flash videos.
I've tried disabling or changing the values of plugins. Installing older versions. Nothing helps. It just sucks. It makes me want to pull someone's lungs out.

Everyone has this problem, since Firefox rigged one of its Plug-ins (something to do with crash reports) about 06 months ago, to max out CPU, thereby sabotaging computer performance (including Flash videos).
Why or how they haven't fixed it before now strains belief. I have seen the same complaint everywhere. It is a major fuck-up. People want to abandon Firefox in droves, except that none of the other browsers have decent add-ons like pop-up blocker.
Sort it out, Firefox.

ICloud Photo Library taking up too much space

I am using iCloud Photo library, and noticed that it was taking up too much of my iCloud memory. I have 4 photos and no videos, and that uses around 300 MB of storage. What can I do to change this? Is this a bug?

If I upload my entire Photo Library to iCloud Drive, then delete photos from my Library (on my computer), can I still access those deleted photos on my iCloud Drive?
An iPhoto library will not work properly on iCloud Drive. It will be corrupted by the syncing. An iPhoto Library needs to be on a locally connected volume or on your system drive. Move your iPhoto Library to a small portable drive as described here: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
A second problem is, that you cannot save space on your computer by uploading to iCloud Drive, because iCloud will keep local shadow copies of all items in your user library. Moving files to include Drive will not save any space at all. (iCloud Drive FAQ)

You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

SpamAssassin and too much CPU load

I have been testing my messaging server and SpamAssassin integration. Everything seems fine except too much CPU load coming from spamd (SpamAssassin's daemon). I am testing them on a UltraSparcII-i, 256MB, Solaris 10 box. When I loaded it with 4msg/min containing 50K ascii text each on the receiving side, the spamd process went up to 90% of CPU load, and then just died silently. My questions;
1) Is there any performance tuning that I should do to avoid that much CPU load? Or is this just normal?
2) I have heard of another anti-spam product called dspam. How can I integrate dspam with the Java Messaging Server?
Thanks!

Installation of JES Messaging Server by itself suggests 1.2 gig of RAM. SpamAssassin adds to that suggestion.
You have less than 1/4 of the suggested RAM. You're 'way short.
SpamAssassin will use cpu. I found that nx x86 box was far less expensive to feed, and works extremely well for Messaging and SpamAssassin. 1 gig or ram for my PC costs about $75. Adding ram to your Sparc will cost mor than a PC complete.
4 messages/min isn't much, but. . .
You're likely swapping pretty hard. Check for "I/O wait". I often use "top" for a quick look at such.
When I switched from an "ultra-5" with 384 megs ram, to an AMD 1200+ with 1 gig of ram, my system went from feeling totally buried to feeling mostly un-used. I'm currently able to handle far more than 4 message/minute, with no overload or swapping.
