FileStatsAgent process bug? (more then 90% CPU and Mac gets hot)

Whats FileStatsAgent? It takes more then 90% of CPU-Power. My Mac-Book Pro gets hot and i have to kill the process by my own every time. Tried reinstall and clean install, nothing works. never had this issue when using T, SL, L, ML..

Hello,
According to the man page, FileStatsAgent "collect file stats." Open Activity Monitor and get info on the FileStatsAgent process. Open the "Open Files and Ports" tab and there will likely be a music file that the process is hanging on.
In another thread, Dave determined that the MP3 file it was hung up on was corrupted by using a program called MP3 Scan + Repair. Deleting the offending file solved the issue for many of us.
Hopefully this solves your problem!

Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

I have been a happy user of Firefox for many years. Around last April first I opened Firefox and was offered an update to v 4.42.0.0 which I accepted. Installation seemingly went well. I forget now exactly what happened but the result has been that ever since April 1 I haven’t been able to open the Firefox browser when clicking on the Firefox icon. My computer now was running very slowly. I tried to uninstall Firefox, but a popup told me I couldn’t because Firefox was in use. This confused me because I couldn’t see it being used. Only now I have found that on Task Manager processes that “firefox.exe” was consuming 99 % of the CPU. After removing firefox.exe by clicking End Process my computer ran better. I uninstalled Firefox I had on my computer and installed Firefox 5.0. Unfortunately I have the same problems: Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

Born2die! Brilliant. I am a desktop clicker and never knew Firefox had a safe mode.
Thank You!
I was unable to start in safe mode initially. The second time I disabled all of the Add-Ons and she started up just fine. I enabled them one by one hoping to track down the culprit but the problem seems to have gone away.
BTW I am running ver. 3.6.8 (in response to cor-el's earlier post) and
Firefox is in the process of downloading 3.6.10 (which I am starting to think may have been what caused this whole problem to begin with)
Incidentally, whats up with all of the Java Console Add Ons?
I have:
Java Console 6.0.11, Java Console 6.0.13, Java Console 6.0.15
Java Console 6.0.17, Java Console 6.0.20, and Java Console 6.0.21
What are they? Do I need them? Can I uninstall them? Is this due to using Open Office?
Also, .NET Framework 0.0.0 Should I uninstall it?

This can be the result of selecting the wrong driver. An older, unsupported laser printer will sometimes work with the generic Postscript driver.

Hello,
If you can actually see all of your tiles, you can change your configuration page settings:
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
# Search for '''browser.newtabpage.columns''' and change it to 3, or however many columns you like
#* Note: '''browser.newtabpage.rows''' allows you to change to how many rows you want as well
Alternatively, you can set a fixed number of tiles with the following extension:

HT4060 My iPad wont charge when plugged into a computer, the battery isn't lasting long, and its getting hot when charging

My iPad wont charge when plugged into a computer, the battery isn't lasting long, and its getting hot when charging

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

When using Pages, I can't seem to print an envelope. I use file, then print, and see the printer icon come up in the dock showing it received the info but then quickly disappears and nothing gets printed. When I check the printer queue there is nothing

Bear with me, I've not done this before. I can't seem to reliably print an envelope when using Pages. I go to "file" click "print", click "ok", see the printer icon flash in the dock with a red "1" (indicating a printing job), but then the icon disappears and nothing gets printed. I checked the printers queue and there is nothing there. The funny thing is, after many times hitting "print", twice I've had envelopes printed. ??? What's the secret?

Have you tested it from other software, such as TextEdit to establish that it is in fact Pages that is the problem?
Step us through Print Setup... and what you select when you send it off to print.
Peter
From the
Brother MFC-6800 Printer's User Guide:
How Can I load envelopes:
You can load envelopes from the multi-purpose sheet feeder. Your appliaction software must be set up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or Document Setup mebnu of your software. Refer to your appliaction manual
It also mentions an issue with paper thickness.

Why do I pay for AppleCare and then phone malfunctions and I get charged again to replace phone

Why do I pay for AppleCare and phone malfunctions in approx 60 days and I get charged replacement fee. Isn't this just a bait and switch scam to cheat customers?

Fans Running Hard and MBP getting HOT!!!

When simply surfing the web and checking email, the fans kick on and the MBP bottom gets very hot...it seems to have just started doing this recently...is there something to fix this? Is there a setting? It is well ventilated.

This problem started on my MBP about two weeks ago.
I am only running Safari and the fans start running at 6000 rpm for about 10 or 15 mins then stops. It gets hot under the top left area. I mostly notice it running late at nite...
I contacted AppleCare and was transfered to a specialists. We went thru all the checks and did the PMU and PRAM reset with no change. Then the next day ran the Apple Hardware test from DVD one with no trouble found.
It was suggested that I send in the unit for repair but I am waiting (patiently) for a fix of my poor display (very grainy, light leakage, banding, etc) so am waiting to send it in.
This is also affecting my battery life. I was getting 4 hours under Safari usage but now only get 2.5 hrs on a brand new battery.
good luck all in a fix.

I final piece for me in the jigsaw following on from this
http://www.care4pcs.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-be-happy-gmail-user-on-iphone-or.html
is to turn off wifi when you do not need it. When I leave the house I turn off wifi, because the majority of the times when my iPhone has got very hot and crashed is when I am away from home. I suspect that if the iPhone is in the vicinity of public wifi (wheather secure or not secure) it will try and connect, even if you have 'automatically join known networks' set to off. This is easy of course if you have an unlimited data contract for your iPhone. I may be wrong, but it is working for me. It makes sense for me because it is another way of reducing the work the processor (and battery) has to do and therefore reduces the chance of overheating.
Having said that, I never had this problem with my iPhone 4. I now have a 4S.
Try it. Hope it works for you.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Given that it's only 3 months old and was brand new, you are covered by warranty. You need to take it to whoever you bought it from as they are the servicer of your warranty.
Good luck!

Mds Process takes a lot of CPU and TimeMachine is blocked

I have TimeMachine activated on an external HD. Everything works fine and some other external HDs are backup with TimeMachine to the TimeMachine Drive. When I now activate SpotLight for my internal Macintosh HD the TimePachine Process stops and is never going on. When I kill the mds process TimeMachine is going on with backUp. Next try from TimeMachine and I have same problem again.
When I move Macintosh HD to private area from Spotlight TimeMachine is working fine. Now I can't search in Mail, Macintosh HD and some more unfunny things. It would be great when everything works fine again.
I was checking the access right and everything was fixed or there was nothing to fix. I checked the Macintosh HD by using the Recovery Partition and everything is fine.
When I now remove the Macintosh HD again from the privat area of spotlight mrs will take very fast 200% CPU on my iMac and next TimeMachine Process ist blocked again.
It is not a question of time. I ran mrs now for 7 days and it takes always 100-200% CPU in top and I stopped TimeMachine during this time. My Macintosh HD has 500GB and the TimeMachine HD 2TB and it has 1TB free space.
I stopped TimeMachine, initialized the HD, reactivated TimeMachine and everything was archived as long as I had Macintosh HD in privat area of Spotlight.
At the moment I don't have any idea what I can do. Is there any possibility to see what mrs is doing when it takes so much CPU which folder or file the process trys to process?
So what can I do?

Problem solved...
I found a folder I deleted and problem was solved.

MERGING AND SYNCING more then one audio and video clip?

Is there are way to select a bin of video clips and a bin of audio clips (DSLR with separate audio) and have Premiere analyze and sync them in batches like Avid. I have a mountain of audio and video clips, but with no rhyme or reason to the file name, no timecode, no slates, just waveforms. But without knowing which audio files go with which video files, it’s impossible (or least time-consuming).
Or do I have to use plural eyes or other synchronising program for doing that?
THanks.

Do the video clips have audio. That is, are you seeking to match A/V clips with audio-only clips? If so, then Premiere can do that. Select all the clips in both bins, right-click & select Create Multicam Source Sequence, and select Sync by Audio.
Whenever Premiere finds that two or more clips match each other but no others in the batch, it creates a multicam source sequence of just those clips.
