CPU shoots to 100% when typing in Pages

I switched to OSX Mavericks recently which came with the updated version of Pages. Unfortunately, whenever I now type in Pages there is a delay of a few seconds before what I type makes it to the screen. When I opened the activity monitor I noticed that the CPU usage of Pages shoots up to about 90-110% during the time that I'm typing. However, when I stop typing and leave pages idle the CPU returns to a normal usage (1-5%).

Ignore this (unfortunately there is no delete thread here). I just found that if I type at the end of the document nothing weird happens. It's due to the .ai or .eps pictures in my document moving around when I type.

You are referring to the Pages application? And you do not have this drop down window in the menu bar under Share?
I just tried it and clicked on Pages and my Mail app opened with the document already imported.

MBP lags when typing in pages

Hi,
I have a late 2009 13" MacBook Pro and when I am typing in pages it is constantly lagging by a couple of seconds, It also lags when I am zooming in or out and doing thing like moving images and text boxes. It is really frustrating and any help is much appreciated..

Saw you got no response. You could try some basic repairs.
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

Unresponsive / lagging when typing in Pages, how can I stop this?

When I'm typing in Pages on my Ipad (1) it's not responding immediately and delays for about 5 seconds before the letters I've typed show up and then it has bits missing. It's the same if I use a dock keyboard or the touch screen which makes me think it's somehting to do with the software.
Does anyone have any tips? I've recently upgraded to the recent iOS 4.3.2, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Thanks

ITunes 9.1 - CPU goes to 100% when playing prot. AAC - clicks and gaps

Since downloading 9.1, there are clicks and gaps when I play protected AAC songs on iTunes. Songs play fine with QuickTime player. When a protected song is played in 9.1, iTunes absorbs all available CPU.
I have followed all remediation steps in the apple.com support site including turning off sound enhancer, checking for driver updates, etc. I have also set buffering to maximum.
If I play an AAC protected song for more than a few seconds it becomes impossible to pause it and all other applications running freeze. This happens even when there are no other applications running . . . it is not a conflict problem with other applications. itunes absorbs whatever cpu there is left to take. Consistently using 60-90% of CPU w/ total CPU @ 100% constantly (when an AAC protected song is played).
iTunes works fine as long as the song is not protected.
I cannot find anything on the apple site to allow me to go back to 9.0. Why can't apple allow one to step back to the previour version? I am seriously looking at getting permanently off of iTunes. Each new release is harder to use and performs more poorly.

Unfortunately I have the same problem since I installed Itunes 9.1 anche this problem is shown in a lot of thread.....
I am seriously disappointed cause I BOUGTH these music and it's unbelieveble that Itunes doesn't play its music (sorry for my english...I am writing from Italy...).
I am afraid that it's an Intel Atom processor conflict.
I have already update everything was possible to update (driver, codecs, setting audio configuration, energy saving...) but I didn't find any stuff to solve this issue...

After upgrade to mavericks my cpu goes to 100% when email attempts to use my address book

Since upgrading to Mavericks, whenever I attempt to add an address to an email message, both CPU's will top out at 100%. After It eventaully finds the needed address, either from my stored addresses or the LDAP server, it will continue at 100% for some time before the message eventuall sends and things return to normal.

SESSION EXPIRED and CPU Utilisation is 100% when called from Pro*C

Dear Colleague
We are having a production system developed using Pro*c and PL/SOL packages in HP Unix.
The system is doing the following,
A file will be decoded using Proc and data will be load into 3 temporary tables (permanent table used for temporary) using SQLLoader. Then it calls a PL/SQL package which will process the data in the temporary tables and will store the summary information in Transaction table and will returns a unique id to the calling Pro*c module. The whole process is completed in a single process/oracle session.
The PL/SQL package, join the 3 Temporary tables and retrieve the data into an Oracle object(Collection) and process it. Then the processing summary will be loaded into Transaction table and return the Primary key.
Now the problem is, when the temporary tables are loaded with more than 200,000 rows, in some cases the system is running for hours before it finish. And during the process the session shows as EXPIRED in the database and CPU utilization for the respective ProcessId in Unix is almost 100%. Then after a while the session comes alive and finishes the process.
And for some other cases, with same row count, the entire process finished in seconds.
If the same process (PL/SQL package) when run directly using a separate session inside the database(and the temporary tables are still available), rather than calling from Pro*c, it finishes in seconds, where it took hours when called from Pro*c.
It will be highly appreciated, if anyone let me know, what actually is wrong. whether it is the resource allocation or should there any known problem in calling huge PL/SQL packages from Pro*C.
we are using Oracle 10g and HP-UX ed42 B.11.31 U System.

Sajid

Dear Colleague
I just want to rephrase the problem again.
We have a Pro*C application. This will read the binary file and dump the data in ascii format to a data file. Then, within from the pro*C, 14 Dynamic tables will be created using EXEC SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement, each having almost a maximum of 45 columns. Also, created INDEXES to the tables in the same way from Pro*C.
And Control file will be created as follows
OPTIONS (SILENT=(FEEDBACK)) UNRECOVERABLE
LOAD DATA
INTO TABLE FILENAME_BCI_USED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
TRAILING NULLCOLSColumns Listed
Then Sql loader will be called using system commands (from pro*C itself) to loead the data into the table, as follows.
   sprintf(syscommand,"sqlldr %s CONTROL=%s DATA=%s log=%s rows=5000 direct=true", glb_connect_string,ctl_file,data_file, log_file );
   ret_value = system(syscommand);data loaded successfully.
Then the Pro*C will call a PL/SQL package for processing the data.
The PL/SQL package, to process the data, dynamically construct the below query and use it for the reference cursor to retrieve data and load into a collection.
v_sql_query := 'SELECT '|| '/*+ index(b '||p_File_Name ||'_1) index(b '||p_File_Name ||'_2) index(s '||p_File_Name ||'_3) index(s '||p_File_Name ||'_4) index(s '||p_File_Name ||'_5) index(s '||p_File_Name ||'_6) index(e '||p_File_Name ||'_7)*/'   || '

      END;
    END LOOP;And the above module is behaving strangely.
With almost 150K or more rows in BCI_Table & SU_Table each and less than 10 rows in EXCH_Table, the application takes more than 100 minutes to complete the process.
When we checked the session activity, it is showing the same query for a very long time.
Where as files with 100K or less rows are getting processed in a minute.
And the performance for 150K+ rows is inconsistent, that when we isolate the package and run it directly calling from oracle, it is getting executed in less than 4 minutes. Whereas it takes 100+ minutes from Pro*C.

Black does not show up when typing in pages

Please help!
I recently replaced my hard drive. I reinstalled pages and now black shows up as a white font and pictures are a very light purple until you move the curser over the control panel arrow when you want to change the contrast or brightness of the picture. you can see the picture perfectly untill you take the curser off the control panel arrow. Please help!
Thanks,

Did do the updates too? You should update to iWork 4.0.4. You can find a link here iWork 9.0.4, That is if the software update check under the  menu doesn't work

Why is CPU maxing out 100% when burning dvd?

I bought premiere elements 13 yesterday and got my dvd ready to go. I started burning it today and it's been over an hour and still processing, it may have taken 1.5 hours total. Trying to run photoshop at the same time was making photoshop very slow so I checked resources I saw premiere was using 99% of my cpu, even after closing photoshop. When the screenshot was taken it was at 93% encoding and dropped a little. I have an i3 3.4gz dual core and have never seen it go above 50%, and even that was just a spike. The system also has 8gb of ddr3 ram on windows 7 64bit.
The dvd burning appears to be done but the program won't respond, it's now fluctuating between 0-5% of my cpu but is still not responding. It doesn't have the actual not responding, program frozen error, and makes me wonder if it is done burning.

digitaldoodlebug
Thanks for the reply and considering the comments.
Please remain with the "Fit Content to Available Space" option with a check mark next to it.
The only time that I disable that option by removing that check mark is when I get a Data Rate error message which forces me to remove that check mark so that I can manually set the Bitrate to lower value to enable the burn process to proceed.
783 MB at 1.69 Mbps (megabits per second) is definitely the lowest quality bitrate set. The maximum bitrate in Premiere Elements burn to is 8.00 Mbps.
If you are using a standard DVD disc (4.7 GB/120 minutes), in reality that 4.7 GB is 4.38 GB for your disc capacity. The Premiere Elements burn to DVD uses a variable bitrate which means that your max 8.00 Mbps will vary across the DVD being produced.
If you are seeing a No Disc error in the mix, that is another matter...there is a known error in 13/13.1 which requires deletion or disabling of the OldFilm.AEX file. This has been written about here a lot.
Local Disk C
Program Files
Adobe
Adobe Premiere Elements 13
Plug-ins
Common
NewBlue
and in the NewBlue Folder is the OldFilm.AEX file that you delete or disable by renaming it from OldFilm.AEX to OldFilm.AEXOLD.
So, please look at that, leave the check mark next to Fit Content To Available Space (if 8.00 Mbps is much less than 8.00, then consider a Double Layer Single Sided DVD (8.5 GB/240 minutes, in reality 7.95 GB).
We will be watching for your progress. Any clarification needed, please ask.
Thanks.

S5200UK more than meets Min Requirements for Win7 but slow and CPU peeking at 100% during IE or NIS

Hi everyone! Previously my S5200UK was upgraded from 1GB RAM to 2GB with a newer BIOS of V3.21
(See http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/Can-I-increase-RAM-size-if-I-upgrade-the-BIOS/m-p/1302... )
Thanks to Paul Tikkanen's help then I got the machine working fabulously but thanks to Microsoft's decommisioning of XP I decided to upgade to Windows 7 professional. The minimum requirements are 1GHz CPU and 1GB RAM. My AMD CPU is 2.08GHz but its performance is 2.6GHz equivalent. The RAM is 2GB and I have upgraded the HDD to a new Seagate SSHD SATA 1TB hybrid (with 8GB SSD incorporated). I used the exact drive on another machine a dx2000mt and WOW what a difference to boot speed (30sec) 1min with programs installed and data restored. (and that is usable desktop). I also fitted the ATI Radeon 9600 LE 128 MB AGP graphics card as recommended by Paul and a new 500W supply. I did not expect any problems as the 7 upgrade (clean install) on the dx2000mt went like a dream. Anyhow, this is the problem. After installing windows, all the updates and Norton Internet Security (NIS) the machine uses 100% processor and 25% RAM as I attempt to open NIS or use Internet Explorer. I can hear the CPU fan speed up every time it executes any small task and CPU shoots to 100%. With opening NIS there are two nis.exe processes using 50% CPU each! Any small demand of a program results in ultra slow operation. I put Win 7 on my old laptop with 1.5GHz CPU and 2GB RAM and that is great! I cannot believe that this S5200UK machine is limited by the CPU or RAM as it more that meets the requirements. I have obviously installed drivers (most came with Windows 7 and the others from a driver update program). There are no warnings or conflicts in the Device Manager and I have tried reinstalling everything again twice but it is always the same. I even tried changing the HDD to an IDE 80GB 7200rpm one but it was even slower! I also tried removing the graphics card but no change.Oddly I ran a performance test progam and, other than the memory, it came out better that the dx2000mt!!!! Has anyone got any suggestions as to what is causing this?
PS: The o/s is OEM for refurbished pcs on genuine hologram disk (no service pack but this was done via Windows Update) I will be very grateful if anyone out there can save my bacon. Thanks.

Hi:
The only recommendation I can offer based on what you have posted, would be to ditch the Norton Internet Security software and just run it with Microsoft Security Essentials.
That free antivirus/antimalware software uses very few system resources.

You would also need to use the Norton uninstall tool to make sure it cleans out all traces of the program.

Why My Cpu is getting at 100% when I open ITunes? (Memory problem)

Good day everyone,
Why is my CPU getting at 100% eating over 700 000k of ram as soon as I open Itunes?
Even if I'm closing the process it reopens automaticly and take all the memory...I am under Windows Vista (Family ed.) and I have the latest version of ITunes...
Thank you for your help!
Regards,
Dominique

It worked for me, for iTunes Store and Safari both!

Once it opens, type in the following command...
netsh winsock reset
hit enter
You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.

I am typing 3 page of Word Document. It has locked up and has this round multi colored circle going around when mouse is on the document....help!!! Why is it doing this

I am typing 3rd page of Word Document. It has locked up and a round multi colored ring turning when the mouse is on the document. It will not allow me to save it or move forward? Help!!!

Hopefully Word's auto-save feature will have saved most of your work.
If Word will not allow you to do anything, you have to force-quit the evil thing:  > Force Quit...

When starting Firefox 3.6.11 the CPU goes to 100%.

After upgrading from 3.6.10 to 3.6.11 I'm unable to start Firefox in a reasonable period of time (3 minutes). The CPU goes to 100% for one of my 4 cores, when left to its own, the Firefox window appears after 18 minutes 43 seconds. My CPU is a Q6700 (Quad 2.66Ghz).

How can I go back to 3.6.10??

When typing on laptop hand hits something, screen changes,lose current page??

When typing on my laptop keyboard, sometimes the palm of my hand will hit some keys, don't know what or where, and my page might change or I lose what I have typed. Does this have anything to do with the "hot keys" on my key board for my Toshiba computer? Should I or can I turn off hot keys to avoid this? Please help as it is very frustrating when in the middle of something.

I found on my laptop that the touch pad was interfering too much when I was typing so I started using a USB mouse and disabling the pad. It didn't stop all the behaviour you describe, but it has cut it down considerably. Now the only time this problem occurs is when I am being klutzy with my typing, such as hitting the Enter key when I want the right Shift key.
Hope this helps some.
