Creative Cloud is always listed under "Apps Using Significant Energy" in OSX Mavericks

The Creative Cloud app always seems to be listed under "Apps Using Significant Energy" in OSX Mavericks. Is this normal behavior? Is there something that CC is doing in the background that requires it to draw energy? Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.

I've been having the same problem, it's not a Mavericks thing as it was doing it previously, it's using the discrete graphics some times and that's what uses the energy.
It's not consistent either, right now I'm on integrated graphics but randomly it'll switch to discrete with Creative Cloud shown as the dependancy (I use gfxCardStatus to keep an eye on what's happening), I can understand when PhotoShop etc are running but just the installer app???
I asked Adobe on Twitter a couple of months back but it got ignored. Would like an update as I use battery power a fair amount and CC controll app sapping my all important battery power for no good reason is a bit off.
I like the CC concept and how frequently things get updated but perhaps take a few days longer and get things tested in house before you release them, I've only just got CC working again after the last disaster of an update, please take a little care Adobe, this stuff is important to us.

  • Does every web client and/or app use 'significant energy?'

    Brand new MacBook Pro (non-retina,) with upgraded 2.9 ghz Intel i7, and maxed 16GB 1600 DDR3 RAM.
    So far, I've attempted to use Safari, Firefox, and Chrome.  Upon using it for more than a few minutes, or having multiple tabs open, it shows under "Apps Using Significant Energy," with the battery icon.  If used constantly, I could probably squeeze 3-4 hours of battery life before charging the laptop, which seems quite low for a newer machine.  Certainly, it's no MacBook Air, but shouldn't it see a bit more juice than that?  Only occasional videos, no constant YouTube or streaming services.  Mostly searches, jobs, etc.  I've also noticed that my installed Adobe CC programs take a loooong time to startup, but didn't know if that issue is common, or if anything can be done.
    So:
      ** are all the web applications juice hogs?  I kinda like Firefox the most, and Chrome has some neat customization features, but they all end up like little piggies in a sloth.
      ** could it be the MBP?  Would resetting anything possibly positively affect the speed, battery longevity, programs on startup, etc?
    I'm decent at tinkering if I know the proper steps to ensure I'm doing everything just right.  Also, I have AppleCare on the expensive machine, so worst case, I can bring to an authorized store- but I don't want to waste their time if this is just nothing.  I've searched the discussions forums for previous advice, and nothing really, precisely answered the issue.
    Thanks, and cheers!

    The point is you are bound to do VB.Net for web services and it is not VB at all.
    The syntax surely resembles VB but wait till you see what you have instead of good old PRINT!
    VB.Net is not a continuation of VB, it is something radically different that you will have to learn. And if I had to choose between learning VB.Net and Java/Swing, I would go for the latter. I think the third choice, C#, is definitely the winner on all aspects of programming on the Windows platform. The GUI building gap is not as wide as it was with Visual C++ and VB, in fact, it is almost non-existant: .Net's Windows-forms can be developed rapidly either with C# or VB.Net; basically you get the same tool to develop GUIs.
    All things said, there is an excellent article at http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=SOAP-And-EJB discussing when to opt for SOAP in an EJB environement.
    Hope it helps.

  • What to do about Apps using significant energy

    Does anyone know about the battery monitor and how to fix problem apps?  If you click on the battery icon at the top of the screen and wait a few seconds, it will tell you which apps are using a lot of battery.
    I am often surprised when my lpatop starts to get warm when I am doing simple web browsing for example.  I look at the battery icon, and it shows me soemtimes 2-3 apps running in background that are "Apps using signficant energy".
    When I google this, it suggests starting and stopping the problem app to see if it fixes the problem.  A number of apps inclduing Micorosft Word and PArallels come back and use the battery.  Most recently, I did not realize that I had accidentlaly opened up a word window and then clicked to close it. So word was at the screen, "Do youwant to delete this file" and this was showing as 100% in the battery monitor when I went in to check later.
    I like that we have the battery monitor... It would be nice if tehre was a way to tune the problem apps...  good option for Maverick OS 10.10!!
    Is anyone else having similar challenges with rogue apps!!??
    I will put this in as a problem request to Apple as well as this has also happens with Numbers and Pages in background.

    This is just for your info so that if you have an app that is running that you are not actually using, you can quit it.
    The biggest power hog though on a MacBook Pro is the discrete graphics card.  If you have one in your book, you may want to use gfxCardStatus (http://gfx.io) to disable it unless you actually need it.  On my MacBook Pro, I get about 8 hours with the card off and usually about 4 when its turned on since I use apps that force the use of the discrete card f installed.

  • How do you restore Apps using Time Machine in OSX Mavericks?

    I cannot seem to restore my Apps from a Time Machine Backup. The same error message keeps being displayed: "Contacts can't be modified or deleted because it's required by the OS".

    Sorry. I should have been more specific.
    I accidentally deleted my contacts in Apple's address book App. I'm trying to restore them from a recent Time Machine backup.
    I tried following the suggesstion in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5674113
    For some reason, bringing the contacts window forward, as suggessted in the above thread, does nothing to solve my problem. I see the time machine backup of my contacts created at 12:24pm on Monday 25 April (EST Melbourne Australia). When the restore button is clicked, the Time Machine App seems to be transitioning past data into the present momnent, yet nothing actually happens. The contacts are not restored.
    I never used to have any use prior to updating my OSx to Mavericks. Something about the way Mavericks is managing my data in the Address book, and possible calendar too, is preventing Time Machine from restoring properly.

  • How do I fix Creative Cloud to show ALL my apps that I have installed ?

    Here my specs : Windows 7 Pro 64 bit ● 10GB DDR3 RAM ● Intel Core i7 ● AMD Radeon HD 5700 Series
    Here my story :
    One day, little Creative Cloud said it had an update to be installed on itself. Possibly taking it from version 1.7 to 2.0 or something. I clicked on update. Creative Cloud started downloading and once it was done it said update complete. I clicked on finish or something. Once that happened, it disappeared completely. Gone from taskbar, Window closed and shortcut gone ! I looked into the Creative Cloud folder, in the Adobe folder and there were two folders : Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Cloud_2.7.0.413. I then went into the Adobe Creative Cloud folder and double opened the application therein. It opened the Creative Cloud desktop app BUT showed it had an update just as before for itself. I AGAIN clicked on update, and then it said "Error 50" , unable to update. I searched around and somewhere on the forums it said I must download adobe cloud and reinstall it. I did that and ever since that dreadful day, little Creative Cloud desktop app doesn't want to show ALL my installed apps anymore. It simply shows only 2 !
    This is what I have : Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash Professional, Media Encoder, Fireworks. What it only shows in Creative Cloud desktop app : Flash Professional, Dreamweaver.
    What I tried doing :
    1.) Re-installing the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app.
    2.) Changing the directory settings for APPS and pointing them to the actual location of the installed apps.
    3.) Deleting or renaming the "opm.db" file.
    4.) YES, I RESTARTED MY PC !!!
    What I want to do :
    1.) Receive a fix that will make ALL my installed apps show.
    2.) Find out what the hell the difference is between the concept of having TWO versions of the same program installed BUT getting updates for BOTH like "Adobe Photoshop CC" and "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014". I installed the Adobe Photoshop CC this year almost 2 months ago for example. Then CC told me there is an app update and that got me Adobe Photoshop CC 2014. Now I have two versions of the above listed programs... Why doesn't CC just UPDATE the Adobe Photoshop CC, rename and list ONLY Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 in the end ?
    What I do not want : RE-DOWNLOAD OR RE-INSTALL ALL MY INSTALLED APPS ! This not only will cost me a lot of internet bandwidth but also a considerable amount of time. There must be a simple fix as all files are in place ! I can launch all apps individually and they are working both the "" versions and the 2014 ones.
    My question : How do I fix Creative Cloud to show ALL my apps that I have installed ?
