Finder and loginwindow use 100% cpu with 10.6.8

I recently installed the patch to OS X 10.6.8 and now the finder is very unstable and uses 100% cpu and the loginwindow uses 100% cpu also. Yes I have Parallels 6 on this machine but I already "un-checked" the "show windows applications in doc" option which is the recommended solution. However, this did not fix the problem. I do not know how to determine what actual process is causing this finder / loginwindow issue. I very much appreciate if anyone has suggestion how to fix this problem.
This is on a mid-2011 MacBookPro.
thank you.

TBauer, I had the same problem with 10.6.8 using 100% of the CPU with Parallels 6 installed. The following steps solved this problem for me:
0. Take a screen shot of your Dock if you wish to remember it as currently set
1. Launch Activity Monitor and click on the CPU column so you can see Dock using the CPU
2. Move ///Users/ ... /Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist to the trash
3. Click on Dock and click on Quit Process to stop the Dock
OS X will then rebuild the default Dock
4. Put the items back in the Dock that you want
That solved the problem for me yesterday morning. I've launched Parallels 6 several times now and moved the machine from my work network to home and the 100% CPU problem hasn't returned.
Hope that works for you, too!
I don't think using the combo updater will solve the problem. The problem appears to be a .plist that is generated with OS X 10.6.7 and earlier that contains icons of a larger than Apple documented size causes the CPU looping. Rebuilding the dock.plist under OS X 10.6.8 appears to solve the problem.
Parallels has issued a knowledge bulletin saying they are looking into the problem. On their web site they have another approach involving moving the offending icon out of the dock to solve the problem. I like my solution better but theirs works, too.

Firefox constantly hangs and freezes; uses 100% CPU during the freeze.

Almost spontaneously, Firefox would freeze and become unresponsive. During this time, every Firefox window is whited-out and do not respond to any input, and the Firefox process uses up 100% CPU. All active content running at the time of the freeze, if any, continue to function as normal (Videos continue to play, web applications providing audio notifications send them as normal, although any visuals are now not visible as the browser windows are frozen. The sound continues uninterrupted, however.)
Freezing may occur at any point. Even when the user does not interact with Firefox, it may still freeze. Freezing persists with all addons and plugins disabled.
The freeze would last between a few seconds to a minute, and subsequent to the freeze, Firefox always resumes responding as if nothing had happened. While it does not result in significant losses, the freezing is extremely inconvenient and may occur as frequently as once every ten minutes.
The freezing symptom is universal across all versions of firefox between 5 and 8.0a2.

There are at least four similar topics here about this problem and I have clicked the button that I too have the problem on each and every one of them.
This is the first time in years that Firefox has given me a serious enough problem to render it unusable.

Dispatcher using 100% CPU with 4GB space "used"

A short story with a happy ending ...
A user tried to create a "big" table with a possibly somewhat cartesian select, resulting in the "oh no you don't: that would exceed 4GB" error/cancel scenario.
They cancelled and went back to working on the few hundred megs of data but "system seems very slow ..." . The dispatcher d000 was consuming 99.9% CPU. After a fair amount of looking around on the system and in this excellent forum (some hints but no exact match - hence this post) I decided that the problem was the TEMP tablespace being stuck with nearly 4G size (5MB used) but unshrikable .
Solution: I squeezed SYSAUX and USERS till they squeeled to get a couple of extra available MB, then created a 10MB new temporary tablespace, made it default temp, (would have altered any users set with non-default temporary tablespace but assumed there were none so ... ;-) bounced the database, shrank/fixed the original temp and made it the default again (with a lower max size constraint and a longing for the production version where temp will not count ;-)
For info: OS/Environment Linux SuSE 10 x86_64 : Opteron with 8GB Mem and
lots of disk ...
(No relevant info in the trace files/alert log etc so not posted - everything up and unremarkable but slow and with 1 very busy dispatcher process)
Otherwise pretty standard XE install running excellently for months.
Thanks everyone!

Gruss Dietmar,
thanks for linking this to a better and clearer exposition of the space issues
(<excuse>it was late here and home was already phoning to say the dinner was in the cat ;-)</excuse>.
My reason for posting remains the strange 99.9% CPU user of the dispatcher while the system was in the "on-the-edge-of 4GB" state (and this behaviour survived an instance bounce and produced no other sign (trace file or alert log) than the evidence of ps/top or the obvious degradation in performance. Could be there's a little bug for the developers to squash in the marginal case (which could even apply in production if you fill (almost ??) the data counted in production ? Whatever the case the problem is pretty benign and easily remedied when you know how. I guess the GUI shrink facility and a touch of documentation should help out in the production release as well.
Best Regards,
P-)

Itunes 10.5 and up using 100% CPU. Has anyone found a sure fix yet?

I have tried reinstalling everything in different order several times. The winsock... command worked for maybe a week but now it doesn't and I had to fix some of my firewall/internet safety software after doing so. Like many others I'm running Win 7 64bit. problem started after the 10.5 update. I've been searching the internet and forums and haven't seen a sure fix yet.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if the problem has been resolved.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Discoveryd process uses 100% CPU - Safari Can't find the server

Hello
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I lose connection to the internet 2 or 3 times a day. (Outlook goes offline at the same time)
This is with a wired connection. (Wi-Fi is turned off)
Safari gives me the "Safari Can't Find the Server" message.
Restarting the computer solves the issue temporarily.
While I'm unable to connect to the internet, Activity Monitor shows a process named "discoveryd" that uses 100% CPU.
Force quitting this process gives me back access to the internet instantly. Unfortunately, I suffered a kernel panic (auto restart) a few minutes after force quitting discoveryd. I'm not 100% sure those 2 are related but it would be an odd coincidence as I never experienced had a single kernel on that system. Haven't tried force quitting that process since.
I'm using this iMac in a work environment. (Connected to a windows file server and exchange)
This issue has been happening 2-3 times a day since the day I upgraded to Yosemite.
Any pointers on what could fix this issue ?
Thanks

I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 on XP and now it and applemobiledeviceservice.exe use 100% CPU. How do I fix this?

I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 on XP and now it and applemobiledeviceservice.exe use 100% CPU. How do I fix this?

When I called Apple Support to ask about the 100% CPU usage, they wanted to charge me because my Ipod was out of warranty. I insisted on talking to someone and finally got to talk to a software engineer for free. He said that he had never heard of the problem in his three years at Apple. Nonetheless, he sounded really interested and suggested that it might be a conflict with anti-virus software. I deleted the antiviruse and that DID NOT HELP AT ALL.
It seems as if Apple could care less. There is no official response. Their primary response is to look at the Forum. At least you find out that the problem isn't your fault, it really is Apple!!!!
So far the best solution is just to delete iTunes and use Mediamonkey to sync your pod.
Apple, please fix this!!!!!

ITunes will uses 100% cpu and will not close in OSX Lion

When I start up iTunes, after a few minutes, the fan kicks on and Activity Monitor shows that it is using 100% CPU. The fan kicks up and the MBP gets warm. I have to force close to get it to shut down. iTunes match is constantly running, so maybe that has something to do with it?
I'm not running it in Mini Player mode or anything like that, so I'm not sure what's causing the problem. Any thoughts on how to diagnose it?

I also have this problem which has been getting worse with recent successive updates of Firefox. As a long-time user and advocate, I am about ready to look for an alternative browser. Firefox will not close and exit properly, requiring direct cancellation through Task Manager; starts up very slowly (often 1 to 2 minutes); and frequently locks up the CPU with 100% of cycles while doing NOTHING; offers to restart crashed sessions, but cannot recover and reload those sessions; will not operate correctly while any other application accesses the internet, like uTorrent. Firefox is set to delete cookies, etc. whenever the session closes, sqlite database is vacuumed regularly, CCleaner regularly wipes remaining accretions, and disk is defragged. Currently running 3.5.5 but will NOT upgrade until this problem is solved since later builds report the same problems. I know several other users who have experienced the same problem and I can no longer automatically recommend Firefox to users and clients. Is anybody paying any attention to this problem? What is being done to address this fault? Why is there no response to the original poster? Is this really a support forum or just a way to preoccupy and distract the users who suffer this malfunction? Wireless 54Mbps connection. No Adobe Flash, QuickTime, MS Silverlight, etc. installed on this machine. Firefox 3.5.5 with the following add-ons:
Aardvark 3.0
Adblock Plus 1.2.1
Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper 1.0.6
Free Download Manager plugin 1.3.4
Highlighter 0.1.4
MR Tech Toolkit 6.0.4
repagination 2006.4.5.1
Save Complete 1.0.1
Session Manager 0.6.8.3
Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.4

User Agent Switcher 0.7.2
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

All programs using 100% CPU, freezing, crashing, -10810, -600, and -1712 errors

Okay, so. I have a Macbook Pro from December 2012, a little over a year old.
Version 10.9.1, running Mavericks
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB
Startup Disk - Macintosh HD
I can send more info if I need to. I'm a graphic designer using Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign usually simultaneously, as well as Spotify, Messages, Sparrow (mail), Stickies, Tweetdeck, and Evernote. I also use a wireless mouse, drawing tablet, and second screen. This has never been a problem (I mean, my old computer had 4 GB memory and handled these programs just fine, except for Final Cut Pro 7) up until recently.
For the last two months, my computer has been seriously out of whack.
I'm constantly having to refresh finder
Every time I open Google Chrome, all of my extentions crash immediately and any website I try to go to is extremely sluggish (but Safari works)
The dock freezes
Constant error messages: 1712, 10810, 600
Audio fails randomly
Overall, the problem seems to be that I can't do more than one thing at a time -- I can't take a screenshot if more than two programs are open, I can't open DMG files, I can't open Spotify if any Creative Suite program is open. I've been watching the activity monitor, and it seems like each program is trying to use 100% CPU, which doesn't seem right. I have to close every program to work in Photoshop, which makes me miss calls and emails.
I've tried restarting in safe mode, verifiyng the disk and repairing permissions, I used time capsule to restore to a time before it was happening, and restored my user profile in Chrome. I'm at my complete wit's end trying to figure this out! I feel like my next step is to just reinstall my OS completely, but that would be a major setback for getting my work done, and I'm not even sure that would work.
I've looked on other forums and it seems like the Mail app typically causes problems, but I don't even use it, I use Sparrow.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP

Launch error -10810 in Mavericks
I have the same issue since a couple of days. Nothing that I found in the community (rebuilding launch info using Onyx or manually deleting the apple.com-launch prefs) has helped me so far. Only some apps are affected (PasswordWallet 4.7.4 among them).
I can launch it once and it will run fine as long as it’s open. Next time it refuses to open displaying the error -10810 message instead. I trash the app and use a fresh one off the vendor’s dmg file I downloaded and the sequence repeats.

Xcode using 100% cpu even with no projects open: Solution

Symptom:
I had a very strange problem with Xcode 3.2.1 on Snow Leopard 10.6.2. As soon as I opened a project, Xcode would start using 100% of the cpu. It would continue doing this even after I closed ALL open projects. Xcode was using 100% cpu (200% actually) even while idle! Xcode would also often hang. I tried deleting Xcode and reinstalling twice. That didn't help. After much searching and trial and error I discovered the problem and the solution:
Problem:
I had an SCM entry defined from a previous remote site session in the SCM tab of the Xcode preferences. This site was no longer responding to requests, and apparently Xcode was continually trying to connect. Apparently the preferences were saved across the uninstall even though I used the shell script to uninstall all the developer tools.
Solution:
Delete the unavailable repository from the SCM tab in Xcode preferences.
I hope this saves someone the aggravation this problem has caused me.

CF4.5 uses 100% CPU and hangs

Hello,
According to the ColdFusion Forums my problem is not a new one but I still want
to post it with the hope to get some kind of answer.
I'm are running the following system:
CF 4.5 Enterprise Server
SiteMinder 6.0
IIS 5.0
MS SqlServer 2005
Both the CF and database server are Win2000 SP4.
About every one hours the CF server uses 100% CPU and from than on it is
impossible to log into the application. The site is still available though.
After restarting the CF service everything works fine until.....
I do not know what triggers this but I suspect it has something to do with
SiteMinder and logging onto the application.
The site has to go live on Monday so you can imagine the pressure to get
this fixed before the weekend.
Greetings,
Jilani

Jilani, you mention that this seems connected to SiteMinder. Do you mean you have your own version of SiteMinder, separate from the built-in one that came with CF 4 and 5? I wonder if there could be a conflict between them. Why are you using the full SiteMinder? And do you really need it?
More curious is that you say this spike happens every hour. Can you confirm if it's every 67 minutes, specifically? If so, then I would assert that this could be a problem related to the client variable purge process, which I discuss here:
http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/10/4/bots_and_spiders_and_poor_CF_perfo rmance
But that may not be the issue if simply enabling/disabling the siteminder service will immediately recreate your problem....unless somehow the DB used by SiteMinder is the same DB used for client variables. Do you have any datasources listed in the CF Admin page for client variables? Any chance there's a connection between them and siteminder?
/charlie
PS This whole issue of client variables and how they can hurt you unexpectedly is something I'll dicuss this Thursday at noon US EDT, when I present "Clients and Sessions and Crashes, Oh My", to the online ColdFusion Meetup: www.coldfusionmeeetup.com.

Cannot find my "Pictures folder" in Finder and was using the "all Images" selection to fiddle with my pictures. Now I think I may have screwed iPhoto up

Cannot find my "Pictures folder" in Finder and was using the "all Images" selection to fiddle with my pictures. Now I think I may have screwed iPhoto up

Hi jamesxio,
Do you still have the Pictures folder in your home folder? If not, create a new folder in your home folder and name it Pictures. Make sure the iPhoto Library folder is in the Pictures folder.
Now launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed until you get a message screen. Choose to open another library and navigate to and highlight the iPhoto Library folder. Click the Open button.
You didn't move anything around or rename anything in the iPhoto Library folder in the finder, did you?

Facetime using 100+% CPU?

Hello everyone, recently I have noticed my fans kicking into over drive while on a facetime video call, I checked Activity Monitor and realized that Facetime was using over 100% CPU, with the system running at about 10%.
I found that making Facetime full screen, and using the 4-finger swipe to hide Facetime instantly dropped the CPU down to about 34%. However, the video is paused, making this work-around pretty useless, considering what Facetime is used for.
I am not sure if this is because of updates or firmwares, i have all the latest updates, the OS is Yosemite 10.10.1.
If anyone has any information regarding this, or is experiencing the same issue, a response will be greatly appreciated. I have searched on the internet, however I can't seem to find any solutions or viable work-arounds.
Below is my MBP configuration
Macbook Pro early 2011 2.3GHZ i5
4GB 1333 MHZ DDR3
Startup Disk Samsung SSD 250
Intel HD graphics 3000 384 MB
New MacbookPro battery, few months old.

Another information :
if I run two java program on the same time (using same instance of eclipse), the two javaw.exe each use exactly 50% (if nothing else if running).

Internet browsing uses 100% cpu

Hello everybody.
This situation has driven me crazy the last 4 months and till now i have not figure it out.
Everytime i have a video streaming in my computer, CPU usage goes to 100%. It happens every time, either using internet explorer or Firefox or Google chrome. Even when i have a skype video call or a gtalk video call. Some description of each one:
Using internet explorer: While i am watching a youtube video, CPU limits up to 100% after 1 minute or sometime 5 minutes. I am not able to watch a 15min video. Internet explorer process uses 100%CPU. When i kill it via task manager, another instance of IE
appears with the same CPU usage. I also kill it and then 4 or 5 instances of rundll32.exe appear consuming 100CPU. If i kill them, explorer.exe uses 100% of cpu. If i do nothing and just wait, CPU is 100% for two hours. If i just kill only IE instances, taskmngr.exe
is consuming 40-50% of CPU for 1-2 minutes, then other processes like conhost or csrss consumes the same amount of CPU and after 4-5 minutes everything comes back to normal. That's the story everytime i use IE 11.0.9600.16518
Using Firefox: While video streaming, flash player process consumes all CPU. When i kill it, the same behaviour described above occurs.
Using Google Chrome: When i run it, 5-6 instances of google chrome appear in task manager and after some time this browser also hungs with 100CPU.
All above are also happening while i run Skype either i have a video call or just text messaging. Sometimes svchost is 25-30 % and system hungs.
Operating system is Windows 7 home premium 64bit with SP1, my graphics card is NVidia Gforce GT 230M (latest drivers 20% when these situations occur, my system is extremely slow and whatever i do, it limits up CPU usage.
Any assistance is acceptable. Thanks for the patience.

Hi,
First, I would suggest that you reduce the hardware acceleration on the computer and check if it helps.
a. Open Screen Resolution by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, and then, under Appearance and Personalization, clicking Adjust screen resolution.
b. Click Advanced Settings, click the Troubleshoot tab, and then click Change settings.
c. Note that some video card drivers do not permit you to change settings.
d. Move the Hardware acceleration slider toward None to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.
This issue can be caused by confliction from one of the background programs or add-ons.
You may use Process explorer as Milos mentioned to find the root cause to fix the issue:
Process explorer:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
You can follow the references below to troubleshoot the issue:
1. 3RD part app: Remove to check the issue
2. Drivers: Update or install compatible version
3. System process/service: Upload the log file for analyzing.
I also would like to suggest you use Windows Performance Recorder to check the issue:

To diagnose HDD and RAM, I would like to suggest you contact your computer vender.
Hope it helps.

recently I have replaced my DVD-writer with a new one. My laptop is a Satellite M40-193 (PSM40E-06M026IT) and the original drive is a Mat****a UJ-831B. I have replaced it with a Sony-Nec Optiarc AD-7633A because I like the slot-in feature and the Labelflash feature.
Unfortunately it makes me a problem. It will use 100% CPU every time I use it. I cannot figure out the problem. Is there anyone who can help me? It is a software problem or hardware?
Thank you.

After six days this is the only help I can get on this forum: "...this optical disc drive is compatible with your notebook model?".
The ATA communication bus is a standard.
The exsistence of a compatibility list does not means that ONLY those drives present in the list can work with the relative notebook.
Those drives are the ones tested and the ones that Toshiba says: "this drive surelly work" but not says "this is the only drive that work".
In fact I have RESOLVED the question with a little software I have found on another forum and now my drive works perfectly and I have a newer and more featured drive than those in the list.
Thank you Mike
