Airport daemon takes over 95% CPU?

I think this started after applying the OS X 10.4.8 update.
When I turn on Airport in certain areas, the 'airport' daemon consumes 95-99% of CPU. Essentially it's spinning madly on one CPU core, sending the fans running at high speed to keep the machine cool.
If I turn Airport off, it doesn't stop. I end up quitting the process from Activity Monitor, or 'kill -HUP'ing it from Terminal. The next time I turn Airport on, the 'airport' daemon is restarted, which is fine... and within a minute or so it goes mad again. The machine quite often locks up solid for a couple minutes at that point, but comes back to a useful state eventually.
The strange thing is that this doesn't happen when I connect to my home WLAN. That's an old 802.11b network, however I can see 802.11g networks there. It happens at work, and I've seen it happen in one other place. (These are the only three locations which I've tried to use Airport since the 10.4.8 update.) So in two of three locations, airport goes nutty.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Syslogd daemon take lot of cpu time arounf 50% of cpu utilization.

syslogd daemon problem it take lot of cpu time arounf 50% of cpu utilization. How do i solve this issue without reboot.

You can try then a "/etc/init.d/syslog stop" and "/etc/init.d/syslog start"
This is only a solution which perhaps will solve your load problem. But obviously
you should investigate why you have this strange behavior.

How do I get rid of BTFON from the service provider as it takes over everything??

How do I get rid of BTFON from the service provider as it takes over everything??

No idea what BTFON is or what "service provider" you mean, or what you mean by saying that it "takes over everything". Is this a wireless network that you wish to stop connecting to? If so, open System Preferences, click Network, then select AirPort, then click the Advanced button, then select the AirPort tab. In the list that appears, select BTFON and click the '-' button.
If that's not what you're talking about, you'll need to be more specific.

How can I remotely take over a PC from my Mac

My father has a new notebook running Vista. I have a new Macbook Pro running Leopard.
He lives 3000 Miles away and regularly calls me for help. Anyone know how I can remotely take over his PC in order to fix problems and help him along.
Thanks

Eric, in reading the posts, it seems you are familiar with Mactopia's RDT. I can connect to my work PC via RDT 1.0.3, but the connection doesn't hold whether I'm directly connected to my router or using Airport. If I bring a work PC laptop home, I can remote connect to my work PC using Microsoft Windows RDT on the laptop with no problems.
Do you know if there is something I need to do via preferences with my VPN and Mactopia RDT on my PowerBook to maintain a good connection to my work PC? I've tried to find support or discussions on this at the Mactopia site (nothing remotely relevant) and I only some meaningful discussion here via your comments to Curious George's questions.
Any hints you could give for a better Mactopia RTC connection to my work PC using my PowerBook is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nancy

Documents take over 30 seconds to render and also require Function F5 to refresh

We have a four page document, 2 pages in Spanish and 2 pages in English that takes over 30 seconds to render. We have put a 30 second counter in so the user doesn't keep pressing F5 over and over. The document will display after the 30 seconds when F5 is pressed. Another aspect related to this is the fact that our input folder stacks up and pdf files cannot be deleted if they were not rendered.
What is causing this issue in version 8.2 and how can I resolve the issue?

What are you using to make the form request (Workspace, servlet, etc)?
How big is the form (the file size)?
Which LiveCycle operation are you using to render the form (Forms, Output, Form Data Integration, etc)?
Are you merging data with the form? If so, how large is the data?
Is there anything unusual going on with the LiveCycle server? Anything in the logs, is the server CPU at 100%, etc.?

JDeveloper 11.1.1.7 takes over 45 minutes to start

Hi,
I have windows 7 64 bit with 64 bit JDK 1.7. My jDeveloper 11.1.1.7 takes over 45 minutes to start, even the previous versions took similar long time. I have McAfee running on my system and have 8 GB RAM and more than 100 GB HDD on my C drive. I tried playing with the tuning parameters as mentioned in few blogs, but nothing seems to help.
Please help.

Indeed, McAfee caches what it has previously scanned. I've had different versions of McAfee where this has been, and hasen't been a problem.
It's pretty easy to tell on Windows if McAfee is the culprit. Open the Task Manager and watch is McAfee active (consuming CPU) during the whole process of opening JDev.
If so you're going to have to work with your IT department to get exemptions for JDev put in place if it is.

After update, iTunes takes over 30 minutes to start up

I updated iTunes to 10.6.3.25 a couple of days ago to the latest version, and now it takes over 30 minutes to load. I click the iTunes icon on my desktop and get the mouse spinner for about 2 seconds, then it disappears. During that time, I can see in task manager that iTunes.exe using the about 25% of my CPU (i3 550) and over 100,000k of my 8GB of RAM. After it finally loads, I plug in my iPod and iTunes gives no indication that it sees it at all. Windows sees it, but iTunes doesn't. My question is, what can I do to fix this? I've already went into programs & features and went to changes and hit repair on each of the apple programs I have on my computer and that changed nothing, and I also tried this.
tl;dr iTunes takes forever to load and iPod doesn't show up in iTunes

UPDATE: After having had my iPod plugged in for TWO HOURS, it has finally been detected by iTunes.

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)

Can I merge several different Verizon plans (different family members each have own plans) into one plan (i.e. can I take over all their lines), if all lines on all plans are on Edge?

I was originally told by Verizon that if I joined, I can eventually take over the lines of various family members. Now that I've joined, and my family members all upgraded their phones and are on Edge, Verizon is telling us that we can't merge into one plan (because Edge lines can't be transferred to another account).
Is this true, and, if so, what is my recourse since I was lied to.

Well, yes and no (as far as being lied to). I asked on several occasions (I have the chat transcripts to prove it) if there would be any issue if the lines were all already on Edge, and was told each time that under no circumstances would there be any issue. The latest being today (I know it's after the fact, but I wanted proof that this is what the chat people are saying). I asked "I have currently have an account with 3 phones on Edge. My brother and his wife, and my parents, also have plans all on Edge. I would like to 'take over' their lines. I want to make sure there is no issue with the Edge plan and that I can simply 'take over' their lines with no problems." I was told "Yes. That would be correct." Again, this is what I was told in the past as well (my original post didn't make clear the timing of the chats and upgrades to Edge..). Every time I chatted I mentioned that the accounts were going to be on Edge or (later on) were already on Edge. Even before my family members upgraded to Edge, not one single chat or phone representative (and my brother asked the same thing in a store) mentioned NOT to upgrade to Edge because it couldn't be transferred. Everyone just said yep, no problem. The ONLY reason I even joined Verizon (I was on Straight Talk) was because of the More Everything and Edge plans (we wanted a family plan with 6 people and over 10GB so we'd each save $25/line). Otherwise I never would have joined Verizon and my family wouldn't have upgraded either.

When using an Apple TV, any new device that logs on immediately takes over the display. Is there any way to prevent this and maintain the control from a designated device?

I would like to designate a single device to control the Apple TV, but anytime another device enters and logs on it takes over the display and whatever is on that screne appears. Is there a way to set the Apple TV so this does not happen?

Glen beck is a conservative news commentator , he now has a tv Chanel broadcasted only by the Internet, is is GBTV I get it on ROKU. I cannot get that or FOX NEWS or CNET on my new apple TV. Love the new device with the exception of my missing networks. By the way, thanks for the remote advice it works great.

Open Process Orders take-over when going-live

Hello PP People
Does anyone have any experience/recommendation about the transition/take-over of open process orders from a legacy system to SAP when going live ?
These process orders are started in the legacy system and should arrive in a partially confirmed (hours/consumptions) status in the SAP system at go-live. How is this generally tackled from a CO point of view ?
Any hints on this could be helpfull
Thanks and best regards

Hi,
The method adopted depends on the business requirements. There are quite many options which can be adopted. So first thing i would say is get a clear business requirement what business expects from this migration.
Some of the options could be
1. Close all orders in the legacy system & create new orders in the SAP system & post back the confirmations, post goods movement as per the legacy system.
2. Create a material per order carrying the cost (WIP value) as per the legacy system, assign this component in the component list & post this mateiral to the order, thereby the WIP vlaue will be acrrued to the order.
3. Ask your FI-CO personnel to post the WIP value to the order from FI side.
There could be many more approaches, the choice depends purely on business needs. Hope the above gave you some guideline.
Regards,
Vivek

When I select a netflix movie on my iPad and push it to my apple TV, why doesn't the Apple TV take over the streaming, so that I can then use my iPad for other things?

From what I can tell, when I select the movie and hit the airplay button to move it to the apple TV, my iPad is still doing all the work of streaming the movie. Why can't the apple TV take over the heavy work at this point? I'd like to be able to use my iPad as more of a remote with an awesome interface for the apple TV. The netflix app on iPad is great, and the easiest way to browse movies, and pushing them to the apple TV is fantastic, but once the movie starts, I want to use my iPad for other things!!! Can this be put on the "to do" list for devs?

Have you tried the Remote app on iPhone/iPad to control AppleTV, do searches etc? Should be easier than the remote alone and this does not involve Airplay.
Please note, only users read/comment here - your idea is quite sensible in my view (maybe have a 'Continue viewing on AppleTV' option or something. I doubt this would be high on Apple's roadmap but send them feedback here:

I have an iPad2 and recently bought an iPad mini. My husband will take over the iPad 2. How can I get him an iCloud account associated with that iPad and his iPhone 5?

I have an iPad 2 and recently purchased an iPad mini. My husband will take over the iPad2. How can he get an icloud account for this iPad (eliminating me) and his iPhone5?

Delete your iCloud account on the iPad 2, then he can follow the instructions to create his own iCloud account on it:

Then he can setup his own account on his iPhone.

Need to take over apple ID due to death of a family member

My Dad has died and I need to take over his apple ID in order to help my mum, who has his iPhone, computer, MacBook, iPad, and her iPhone all on his account. I have tried several times contacting Apple Support, and was starting to get somewhere, however, since the middle of March, I have had no response from my emails. Today I phoned apple and got put through to the US (this lady was actually very helpful, although unable to actually help me). I've since scheduled a call, but do not hold out much hope.
Has anyone been through this process?

I'm afraid the only way you are going to be able to deal with this is through Apple Support. You could try regarding it as a security issue. This Apple Help page provides contact information for various countries for security problems with an Apple ID:

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?

How to Create a Bootable Flash Drive to do a clean install of Lion. I have tried to use the InstallESD.dmg but it still will not do a clean install so that I do not have to do a reinstall from the Recovery (That just re downloads and takes over 6 hours)?
The system I'm have is a Mac-mini that had SL on it and no SuperDrive. I have also call Apple Support and they have really have not been to much help over 1st did my up grade to Lion and Installed the Lion Server.... it lost my SSL that I paid for and kill almost on of my server setting, plus kill all my web servers (using apache vhosts), and not to say the LDAP will even let remote users login to your laptops.
PS: There is no way that I'm going to buy a Install USB from Apple... They have over billed me over $300.00 because the Apps Store still has bugs (Glad I did not write that App/Service)
If there is anyone that can give in the information to create a USB install stick, I would be very thinkful.

Here you are bro, courtesy of "softpedia.com"....brilliant site!!!
If you ever had problems with your Mac OS X installation you know that the first thing you should do is to check the startup volume using Disk Utility.
After the check has ended and, if the errors exceed a certain level of seriousness, the Disk Utility application will require you to restart your Mac and use its Mac OS X Install disc counterpart.
Other users may have to reinstall OS X altogether, but will find, or already know, that their SuperDrive (a CD/DVD reader and write combo drive) is not functioning properly and it will not be able to read the Install disc.
Although this might happen to Mac OS X Leopard users due to faultyhardware, the vast majority of problematic SuperDrives will be encountered inside Snow Leopard running Macs.
This is due to the updated SuperDrive firmware included in either the Install disc or the software updates one has to install to reach the latest version of OS X, namely 10.6.6.
This can be fixed by flashing the SuperDrive’s stock firmware using free command line tools that one can find for free online (I will write about this process also, but at a later time because this article only focuses on allowing you to create your own alternative USB boot disc).
If you are reading this last bit of information with skepticism, than you should know that it happened to me too. Despite all my tries to make it work properly, the SuperDrive kept on munching any inserted DVDs and just popped them out in about twenty seconds.
The workaround to this issue was to create my own Leopard bootable USB memory stick. I am not suggesting a Snow Leopard bootable stick mainly because there are lots of users that have decided to buy the cheaper, Upgrade version, which I have not tested and, therefore, I’m not sure if it will work properly once written to a USB disk.
And now, here are the exact steps you should follow in order to obtain a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) Install disc.
Step 1 (If you already have the Leopard install disc DMG file you can skip to Step 2)
Launch Disk Utility (you can find it inside /Applications/Utilities). Here select the Leopard Install disc in the list of drives on the left and click on the New Image menu entry at the top of the window. A save message will appear where you will have to select the Desktop as a destination.
Step 2
After Disk Utility has finished creating the Leopard DMG, insert your USB stick and erase all data and reformat the disk. To do this select the USB in the list of drives on the left and, after clicking on the Erase tab on the right side of the window, choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and click the Erase button beneath.
Step 3
After the USB has been reformatted, download the SuperDuper app from HERE and launch it. Once SuperDuper starts, you will only have to select the DMG in the Copy drop-down menu, your USB memory stick on the right and hit the “Copy Now” button.
One can also use Disk Utility for this task but creating a bootable USB stick failed 2 out 4 times when copying the DMG to the stick (with the exact same settings each time). Creating the bootable stick using SuperDuper proved to be the perfect way to do it because it worked each of the 4 times I tested it.
The steps above can also be used to create a bootable Mac OS X Lion USB by using the InstallESD.dmg image you can find inside the Lion installer (named “Install Mac OS X Lion.app”) downloaded from the Mac App Store in the /Applications folder.
To locate the InstallESD.dmg right click the Lion installer, select the “Show Package Contents” entry, go inside the “Contents” folder, and from there into the “SharedSupport” folder. Inside this folder you can find the InstallESD.dmg you can use to create your own bootable Mac OS X Lion USB stick. To do so, go to the third step described above and use the InstallESD.dmg as the DMG to be copied to your USB disc.
That’s it! Once the process ends you will have a fully bootable Leopard (or Lion) USB disk that you can use as an alternative to the Apple’s DVD Install disc that comes bundled with all Macs.
To use your newly created bootable disk you will have to restart the Mac, press and hold the OPTION key until the StartupManager appears. Here, select the Mac OS X Install disk using your keyboard arrows and press return to start from the selected drive.
