CPU - Only a half core used of six cores

I have a session with three audio tracks and three instrument tracks, one with Kontact installed with LASS violins. This shouldn't be very stressful for a Mac Pro 2013 6-core with 64GB RAM.
Why does Logic not use all cores and how can I force it to use them?

I don't think it's Apple's problem as this happens in other DAW software like Pro Tools and DP.
I changed the the multiprocessor support in Kontakt to three cores and it now is spreading threads so the cores are all at very low usage.
Still the live track peaks though. But when off the track, processors are VERY low.
I would consider this a bug in Kontakt, and apparently this has been going on for a long time. When selecting a track with Kontakt installed, the processors go to one peaking and another about half, all others go black. Weird.

My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.

When I use the 'reply' tab in Hotmail I can only see half of the screen and am unable to scroll down to view the email I am responding to. How do I fix this?

I use Hotmail and when I hit 'reply' I can only see half of the page. I cannot tab down to read the email I am responding to and if I type too much the text disappears into the hidden section of the page. This does not happen in Google Chrome when I checked it so it is a Firefox problem.

OOPS! Too quick on the trigger to ask that question without trying anything. Sorry. Solved it by touching the bookmark icon.

Picture can not be resized to fit the screen, so i can only see half of my face when use it as wallpaper!! Suckss!!

picture can not be resized to fit the screen, so i can only see half of my face when use it as wallpaper!! How can I change it？？

There's a bug with the wallpaper. One thing that helps a bit, go to the photos app, find your pic, 'send' it to be wallpaper. You have a bit more control although not all the function you're used to.
No idea when or if Apple will fix it.

It depends on which model you have:
13" - 1440x900
11" - 1366x768
This of course assumes you are talking about your internal display.

My macMini has only a 1.5 GHz Intel Solo Core and is now unable to do things like Turbo Tax. I use it mainly for email, web browsing, bill paying, banking. Should my next purchase be a notebook, laptop, mini or iPad?

Desktop: Mac Mini dual-core i5 (or quad i7 if you can afford it, it might seem overpowered but it will last you longer. Upgrade to 16GB RAM if you want to future proof that side of the machine. Don't buy from Apple, install it yourself).
Laptop: MacBook Pro 13' if you don't need portability, or MacBook Air 11' if you do (as RRFS has said).
A notebook and a laptop are the same thing.

HT203167 I bought a song using an I-coke credit and it only plays half way through then it skips to the next song??

I recently bought a song on I-tunes using an I-coke credit, the song only plays half way through, before it skips to the next song, does anyone know what is going on and what I can do to fix this??

Remove the song from the device either by using a computer or on the device itself.
You can redownload any song that you have currently purchased for free through itunes on a computer or iOS device. After deleted attempt to redownload the song.

Pages '09 only uses one processor core?

Hello,
some days ago i had to open a document containing nearly 2.000 pages. Don't ask why.
Working with this document was quite complicated because Pages was responding very slowly. I used the activity monitor to see what was going on and i recognized that Pages only uses one core of my eight core MacPro.
I tested iWork on my iMac and MacBook Pro (both DualCores) as well: same problem.
Does iWork only use one processor core?
Kind regards,
roman

How much memory do you have in your system? I'll bet if you check activity monitor (applications/utilities) and go to system memory tab therein you will see lots of page outs. This happens with huge docs and little memory as the doc is being swapped between active operating memory and the hard disk The only way to solve this problem is to get more memory (not storage) in your system. For a 2,000 page doc you're going to need lots and lots and lots of extra gigs of memory. By the way - how big is the too big file of yours?
Number of processor cores isn't going to solve the issue if you have pageouts. It is a system memory/size of document issue and completely unrelated to how many processor cores you are using.

Six core vs quad core

Is an intel six core cpu 1.5 times better than a intel quad core cpu? When I am using media encoder to produce an hour long HD mp4 file with gpu acceleration would the processing time be significantly less with the six core cpu?

Francis,
Ideally speaking you are correct, but in real life it often does not work out that way. Generally you can expect around 35-45% increase of a hexa core over a quad core, but only if the processes are nicely threaded and there are no other bottlenecks in your system. That is hardly the case and that is why in practice the gains are often smaller, due to other bottlenecks appearing (disk I/O, memory or GPU) and overhead from the OS and application.

[SOLVED] lspci only detecting half my video RAM

So i needed to look up details about my video card when i noticed something strange. It seems the system is only allocating half of the available video memory for some reason. What's the reason for this? I haven't tweaked it or assigned any swap memory or anything like that for it either so i don't know what's up. I should have 512 MB, but i only have half. Here's my lspci output:

Is there any way i can fix this? I mean i have no problems whatsoever and i can watch 1080p videos and using 1920x1080 resolution without any lag, even play most games on high settings without too much lag, but still, it would be nice to have all my video memory.
edit:
Didn't see that thread in the search, but thanks! interesting to know. And if anyone happens to stumble upon this thread, basically the "problem" is:
(quoted from this thread )
On most GPUs, it's sized 256MB to avoid various SBIOS compatibility and resource contention/exhaustion problems. Please note that the size of BAR1 does not impact how much video memory the GPU can access. It does limit how much video memory can be accessed directly by the CPU, but due to the large size discrepancies between BAR1 (typically 256MB, as I said above) and video memory (1+GB on high-end GPUs), the NVIDIA Linux graphics driver does not rely heavily on CPU mappings of surfaces in video memory.

Prices have crashed. Look and you can find Samsung 128's and others for $89 sometimes.
It is not just moving the OS and data apart, though it does matter, and more from you should never have the OS cluttered with data, been doing that for... 35 yrs. 0.01 ns vs 10 ms. 60k IO's per second. Reads in 220MB/sec but held back from making full use of SATA 6G.

Anyone using a 12 Core Mac Pro? I have HORRIBLE performance issues .. Help!

After the latest 10.7.4 Mac OS X update I have extremely horrible performance issues with AE ... and they were not so great before the update.
It is still stabilizing ... but an 1:19 clip in SD is taking 12 HOURS TO analyze and stabilize. !!!
The 12 cores are barely being used and this problem has been an issue since I purchased the suite over a year ago.
Does anyone else have problems using AE on their 12 CORE MAC PRO?
REPLY ONLY IF YOU HAVE A 12 CORE MAC PRO PLEASE.
There must be a problem because since the update ... Adobe Encore is PERFECT .. and ALL 12 CORES MAX OUT and the encoding is quick!!
I also have major problems between PP and AE using Dynamic link .. and slow renders in PP.
Everything else works fine .. other apps / other vendors.
I am calling Adobe today.

Thank you for your time.
I am using a 12 Core 2.93 GHZ with 32 GB RAAM and a NVidia GTX 285.
I also have a Areca 1212 PCI RAID Card. ( NOTE: I HAVE A SERIOUS RAID DRIVER PROBLEM NOW. THE RAID IS DISCONNECTED )
Mac OS X 10.7.4
Adobe Master Suite 5.5
The Apple "Console" app logs a whole lot of these three Adobe related errors:

Only half of my hyperthreaded processors are active when using AE "Warp Stabilizer". This issue was addressed before in the Forums. There was no solution. I dont' know if it is any better in CS 6.
Also the automatic saving of all linked compositions while using the dynamic link feature bewteen PP and AE causes huge inoperatable waiting times .. unbearable. My guess is that the new "Global Performance Cache " fixes this ... which I consider update to a terrible problem .. but they sell it as a feature ( Ill go into that later.
Question:
What RAID card are you using?
Do you use the Warp Stabilizer?

Actual CPU´S that will be used: 0

I have no idea what I can do. Maybe someone can help me.
-I7 2600k
-ATI 6970
-8GB Ram
If I want to turn on Multiprocessing in AE I get the message:
Installed CPU´S (processor cores): 8
Actual CPU´S that will be used: 0
I can change all these settings but AE still does not accept my CPU´s.
Please help me

Okay I made pictures of all my settings.
Furthermore I thought my CPU could be the problem because it uses Hyperthreading Technology. I disabled Hyperthreading and After Effects told me that I only have four cores. This is absolutely correct. Nevertheless the amount of used Cores is still zero. I can not activate multiprocessing.
By the way I was really satisfied with the speed of AE without multiprocessing. I only had one problem. Sometimes I got the message:
"AE needs more than 2 frames to playback" I thought I can solve this problem by enabling multiprocessing.
I also tried purge--> all , which did not help
I also changed the cache folder of AE to an external device which did not help either.
I ALSO deinstalled my Comodo Internet Security because I read that some people could solve this problem with this
My question is: It is generally possible for me to activate multiprocessing with only 8 gb RAM?
Thanks for all advice.

My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

HP 8500 A Plus only prints half of first page from my mac

When I print wireless from my mac it only prints half of the first page (regardless of how many pages the document is) then stops. This only happes with my computer. If I make a copy or print from my phone everything works fine. I've had this printer for about 2 years and this is a new issue that didn't used to happen. I do not get any error messages when this happens.
Any ideas?

There is no full feature software and driver for your printer that is compatible with Yosemite @1Adam12 , so we know the issue is not the software. Let's try the following steps in order to resolve this;
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and download and install the HP Printer Drivers for OS X.
Now when you add the printer, you should have the HP driver to choose,
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can the printer driver
Please let me know if you can print a complete job now.
Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.
