Crashing & ElementsAutoAnalyzer excessive CPU Resources (w/ No Media Analysis)

I had PSE 11 when I upgraded to Mavericks. Since then I've installed PSE12 and updated the catalog obviously. I've noticed a couple of issues; crashing and CPU excessive use with ElementsAutoAnalyzer.
Crashing
When double clicking on a picture in the organizer or scrolling through pictures in the organizer, PSE would crash every so often. It happened a total of three times before my wife gave up on working in PSE. Here is a link to my Crash Report: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bb6f014u6ft1inh/PSE12Crash.txt
ElementsAutoAnalyzer
Even with all Media Analysis turned off, I noticed that ElementsAutoAnalyzer starts eating up CPU (even well after quitting PSE). I even caught it running above 700% a few times as seen here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5lirxa1n4ylrff5/Screenshot%202013-11-26%2021.33.29.png

Kill the auto analyzer:

Note that if you do this you won't be able to upload videos to revel. For the crash on opening, there's a known conflict between mavericks and cover flow view in your finder/open windows:

  • Firefox 18.0.1 consuming excessive CPU--both in Standard and Safe Mode--when accessing Gmail

    Firefox 18.0.1 consumes excessive CPU--both in Standard and Safe Modes--when accessing Gmail (in Standard Mode). CPU consumption averages around 56% on my dual-CPU, Windows 7 desktop.
    The only way to stop this from happening it to open Gmail in "HTML" mode. When I open Gmail in Standard mode, a "Loading..." status shows at the top of the page. After about 30 seconds, a error window pops-up within the Gmail page saying that there is a performance problem and provides the option to load Gmail in a limited, "HTML" mode. Clicking the HTML Mode link solves the issue. I've been using Firefox for years and have never seen this issue until now.

  • X200 Hardware Interrupts constantly at 40% of CPU resources

    As many other thinkpad owners I started to experience excessive "Hardware Interrupts" using between 40-45% of my CPU resources (on both cores) on my x200. Note that Task Manager will _not_ show this, you will need something like Microsoft's "Process Explorer" to show this. This started about a week ago, following a slew of updates I had been rolling in from "System Update" on my Vista x64 Business.
    I searched the Internet high and low and found many similar experiences (not only with Lenovo models, not only with Vista). Obviously, it is nearly impossible to find out what's causing this.  There is a useful tool called "KrView" by Microsoft that will display more info about which driver is causing the interrupts, but unfortunately it does not run under Vista x64.There is also an on-board Vista tool that allows you to check for unsigned drivers but that didn't seem to be the problem (all drivers were certified ok).
    Other have reported problems with their network drivers where such interrupts would occur as soon as they turn on WiFi. Some were successful by removing their installation of Deamon Tools (which I have not installed, so that didn't help).Others suggested hard disk drivers or CD-ROM driver issues.
    I thus tried to home in on the probably culprit, and found the following puzzling effect: This only occurs when my x200 is in the docking station! After a clean startup, it will be nice and idle for some time, but after some 5 minutes it will start to constantly show the 40-45% of "Hardware Interrupts." Once this happens, it almost never goes back down, even if you undock it. However, if you _start_ the system in an undocked state, the "Hardware Interrupts" do not appear!! I even tried to manually connect all the different pieces that I have attached to my docking station one by one to my undocked laptop (e.g., network cable, external keyboard and mouse, USB harddisk) - none did trigger this. But as soon as you redock your laptop, it will spike up again to its 40-50% "Hardware Interrupts".
    I _assume_ that it might be the display driver that causes this, as this is the only piece of hardware that I couldn't "test" on my standalone laptop: I use a displayport cable to connect by 24" monitor, and the x200 does not have a connector for this... I tried installing the latest Intel graphics drivers but the won't install and tell me that I must use the OEM lenovo versions. I also could not "rollback" the driver (option greyed out) and the old driver version doesn't seem to be available on the lenovo post...
    Alternatively, it might be some sort of "docking station driver" that's causing this. Although I'm not sure what this driver would be and how to update it :-(
    Any hints? (sorry, ultra-long post)

    And this is the kernrate log after I uninstalled the sata controller from control panel. No CPU load.
    I restarted the machine after removing the sata controller and it installed the controller again, it has prompted me to reboot again to finish the installation but I haven't done that yet. Until now, no high load has happened.

  • While being idle online for a few minutes, why does Firefox start cyclically using 50% to 5% CPU resources, with a 10 to 1, hi to lo ratio

    This behavior became apparent after the last couple of Firefox version updates. Current Firefox version is 21.0. My PC is an IBM ThinkCentre running @ 3.0 Ghz Intel CPU with 1.5 Gigs PC3200 DDR ram. With or without any other Windows apps open, whether I'm on line just idling on my home page (Google) or any other web page or entering / receiving data, several minutes into a session, the MS XP pro SP3 task manager shows Firefox cyclically using 50% (and more) CPU resources for 8-10 seconds then 1-5% CPU resources for 1-2 seconds. Closing & restarting Firefox, allows me a few minutes of speedy surfing. My ISP is AT&T 2nd tier DSL with a download thruput of 300 (+) MB (not Mb) / second (altho, most of the time I'm just viewing a web page or idling, without downloading or uploading any data).
    What has changed? My PC & all of its software have remained the same with the exception of MS security updates, Adobe Reader updates, & Firefox updates (without adding any additional plug ins, add ons, etc., with each update).
    What the...! For the past several minutes that I've been inputting data here, the task manager showed a jump of only 13% cpu usage (ever so briefly) by Firefox & only then when I switched between the task manager & Firefox. Intermittent anomalies are gonna be the death of me...
    Well, this is an annoyance, albeit an intermittent one. Ah, I pine for the days when I heard about & believed in "seamless integration"...any thots that might help resolve this issue sure would be appreciated.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • 10.9.4 excessive CPU usage

    And now a strange case...
    Installed 10.9.4 but it became unusable because of excessive CPU usage. Reverted back to 10.9.3 but now the problem persists!
    Basically, if connect the Ethernet cable the CPU increases and temp raises from 45C to 95C. As soon as I remove the Ethernet cable and stay on WiFi things go back to normal. I already have done the most obvious, i.e. reinstalling the OS from time machine, removing launch daemons and plug-ins, and fixing disk permissions. Check the details below. Any idea? It would be much appreciated. I'm getting nuts with this.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • WMP300N uses excessive CPU

    On a fast dual core processor, WMP300N can chew up half of the cycles.
    This executable becomes active when LinkSys Monitor is used to manage the WMP300N PCI Adapter.
    On the Linksys Wireless-N Products page
    http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Promotion_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1144421946975&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper
    The WMP300N adapter isn't even listed.
    Even when there is no network traffic at all, WMP300N chews up about 20% of the cycles, so I set about to find out why. Pretty simple, really ... just run sysinternals Filemon.
    http://www.sysinternals.com/
    Download:
    http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html
    And you'll see wcmp300N chugging thru %windir%\temp looking for GIF files for every Beacon Interval.
    Pretty silly ... When can I expect a fix for this?

    There are a number of discussions here looking at the different possible avenues. A quick troubleshooting would be to:
    If you do not want/need to sync over wireless then disable it (uncheck the “Sync with this iOS device over Wi-Fi.” when you have your device connected to iTunes). There seems to be quite a few issues with the APSDaemon.exe.
    Run the Diagnostics in the Help menu of iTunes and chack any issues using the help button.
    See what is using up the CPU & Memory besides APSDaemon.exe in Task Manager.
    If your Security Software is also constantly active see a) and b) below.
    a) http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123 [Not an issue for me]
    b) http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
    c) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3540485?start=15&tstart=0
    In my case it appears to be Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 (avp.exe) fighting with Apple Push (APSDaemon.exe) on my Windows XP Pro box. I am not set up with the “Sync with this iOS device over Wi-Fi.” but APSDaemon.exe is running anyway. If I kill it in Task Manager the CPU resource usage drops to normal. No cure yet, just work arounds.

  • HT203167 My computer crashed and i lost all my Itunes media ?!

    Recently my computer crashed and I lost all my Itunes Media...I have absolutely no idea what I should do ?!
    Could somebody tell me what to do ?

    If you have a backup to an external hard disk, then install iTunes and place the backup of C:\users\????\Music\iTunes back into that folder. If you need to redownload old purchases, then go into iTunes and go store -> purchased -> download previous purchases and that will at least get you what you bought from Apple. If you could elaborate on what kind of crash, I might be able to recommend a few other things, but that would be less Apple support and more data recovery.

  • Firefox using massive CPU resources, even with no addons?

    I've been trying to figure out why Firefox is using ridiculously large amounts of CPU resources, but can't seem to find anything. At the time of writing this, I have 5 tabs open, none of which are highly graphic- or sound-intensive (facebook, 3 articles and this) and no add-on toolbars running. I updated to FF7 the other day, primarily because FF wouldn't open without doing so, and it's currently using a little over 625K in CPU.
    I've tried restarting, but it starts at around 105K and skyrockets to around 300K within 5 minutes and I can't think what to do to sort it out. I've tried running it in safe mode, but there's no difference to the CPU usage. Add to that the fact that I can't even run another program at the same time (making me choose between music or internet), and frankly, it's driving me up the wall.
    I don't want to change browsers, for the simple reason that I prefer FF in terms of usability and appearance, so I'd prefer a fix if possible. The troubleshooting information included is from my current session, which does have some addons re-enabled, since disabling them did no good whatsoever.

  • SQL Developer occasionally hogs all CPU resources

    Client OS: Windows XP Professional
    Connecting to : Oracle 9.2.0.3 on Sun Solaris server
    I encountered a few instances where SQL Developer hogs all CPU resources on my Windows XP notebook.
    I usually have to kill the SQL Developer process.
    I have noticed this happening occasionally when I :
    1. hit Enter at the SQL Worksheet window
    2. hit F9 at the SQL Worksheet window - the query does not start

    Hi,
    Really tough to tell from that little of info, is there more?
    Does it boot at all? How often does it KP?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), does it KP then?
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Might try disabling some CPUs.
    The cpus boot argument can range from 1 up to the total number of processor cores on your system.
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/qa/qa2001/qa1141.html
    You might try this also, thanks to old comm guy...
    This can be done in open firmware,(boot with cmd+option+O+F held down).
    setenv boot-args cpus=1
    reset-all

  • Mountain Lion Mail excessive CPU usage

    Evers since upgrading to ML 10.8 and 10.8.1, Mail heats the CPU up to 100% after a couple of minutes and remains like this forever. Absolutely reproducible. Mail is unusable for me.

    This problem was solved.
    After a lot of frustration (restoring Lion backup and performing the update several times), I managed to have a stable installation without the problem of high CPU usage and high temperatures.
    It seems that the installation procedure has an issue, when your user directories are located in an external disk. In this particular case, after the installation of the server software, the two links in /Network/Servers directory, pointing to the / directory, do not get created, so you need to do that manually.
    That, in itself, was not causing my excessive CPU usage, but it didn't allow my users to log in the server. Thinking that this was the issue described in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2938, I was running the command described in the previous link to fix the issue. That command (sso_util configure -r REALM_NAME -a diradmin afp) was what was killing my CPU.
    All is well, when it ends well, I guess.

  • Cpu resource is available but many run-queue from vmstat

    Hi, all
    I coundn't find appropriate category for this system related questions.
    I am sorry for this.
    The system has more than 100 CPUs on a linux machine, but there are more than 10 run queues.
    As you see, "r" is around 10, but "id" of cpu is about 90%.
    => I cound not understand why processes do not use OTHER available CPU resource in stead of waiting in run-queue.

    Thanks for your reply.
    "r" is the number of processes ON CPU plus the number of processes WAITING FOR CPU.
    The following is from "man vmstat".
      Procs
           r: The number of processes waiting for run time.
           b: The number of processes in uninterruptible sleep.I am confused whether or not "r" contains processes which are corrently on cpu, not in run queue.
    Could you give me more detailed explaination or some article?
    Thanks.
    Best Regards.

  • X61s Hardware Interrupt up to 40% of CPU resource

    Hello, i recently updated my harddrive of my x61s to a  seagate Momentus ST9320421ASG 7200.3 GForce - 320GB 7200rpm 16MB. After that i have done  fresh Installation with Windows XP Professional on the new drive twice!! Each time when i finish installation i begin to get a wired Hardware Interrupt with constantly eats up to 40% of my cpu resource and cuts my battery life to half. i have tried to deactived the component one after another in order to locate the problem(which componet is sending the interrupt). But i found nothing. And the interrupt does not start right away when i boot into XP. it starts sometimes later after login or start some programms like opera or Firefox browser. Does anyone has an idea about this issue? BTW, i already use the system update to get all my drivers and bios to the newst version. Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    T his issue annoyed me for a long time , but final!! eventually !!! i fixed it!
    its because of the latest intel display dirver.
    so everyone just need to download an older one.

  • Firefox sometimes freezes up for a few minutes and begins using 47% of cpu resources and sometimes also extra 100-200kb of memory

    since updating from 3.6.xx to firefox 5, 6 and now 7, firefox sometimes will freeze while loading a site and use 42-50% of cpu resource. it also sometimes doubles or trebles memory it uses at same time as freezing, and freezes for 2 or more minutes. when it comes back sometimes it will have failed to load a page and will display the url but a white screen. this can happen any site, but seems to occur more when on image sites. usually i have more than one ff window open, one of which is an iboard, and the freezing seems to occur more often when either posting, or when opening a subboard or more often a thread in tabs or new windows. problem seemed to be helped when i disabled a recently installed java plugin but didnt disappear, and it can still happen anytime with only one window/tab open. the only common thing seems to be the site is either refreshing, or loading.

  • Moble device support uses 50 percent of cpu resource

    I tried uninstalling Itunes and all of it's components. I have a pentium 4 with 3 gigs of ram. Apple Mobile Device Support  uses 50% of CPU resources and slows my computer to a craw when Itunes is not running. I don't mind if it uses resources when using the product, but it uses the resources even when your not running any Apple software... Windows XP 32 bit pro all service packs and upgrades. Itunes 10.5 or latest. Any help please..

    I am having same problem.  Many say reload iTunes in a particular way.  Some say that works, others say it doesn't.   You can run "netsh winsock reset" and it will temporarily free up the memory once you reboot, but it impacted my IE from finding the server.  Still looking.  Apple must know this is a problem.   As one use said, have they heard of regression testing?
