Finder runs near 100% cpu when I open a specific folder.
I noticed my mac pro battery went to the red zone in under two hours, it normally goes all day. I checked activity monitor and it showed finder using 97% cpu.
To keep it short, I discovered there's a problem only when I have a specific folder open. I don't have to be accessing the folder, finder goes near 100% anytime this folder is open, even when there are no other apps running. It's a relatively large folder - about 3300 items counting all files and subfolders. Is there a maximum size finder can handle under snow leopard or, perhaps, on an intel processor? I tried moving half the items to another folder and the problem seemed to stop. This isn't a good solution for me, however, as I need all the files located together.
There is no problem with this folder on my good old power pc running 10.4, so I'm processing it there for the time being.
HELP? Thanks.
No, info is not checked, nor is arrange by nor show icon. Thanks anyway.
However, curiously, if I change view from icon to list, finder cpu % drops down to near zero. Change view back to icon, and finder goes crazy again. Maybe this'll mean something to someone?
Meanwhile, I can now use that folder, just have to remember to set it to list view.

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time. -

hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder> go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help? how can i put all my application through application folder?
Something really odd is going on. In your first screen shot, I noticed that the Applications folder does not have the proper icon displayed in the side bar. Also, in the title bar it lists it as Applications 08-59-29-909.
Not sure where it's picking up that odd name, unless it's because it's still truly within the Trash folder.
Try this. In the Finder > Preferences > General > turn on "Always open folders in a new window". (I have a feeling you have the default setting with this off).
Now, in Finder > Go > move down and open the Applications Folder from there. Now open the folder where you see all your applications that you show in your screen shot, select all, and move them to this true appliactions folder.
This is what you should properly seeing (but with different apps listed):
See how the Applications folder has the icon of the letter A shaped with a pencil, ruler & pen. -
why does pointer become a pinwheel when I open one particular folder only and prevent me from opening the apps in it and then keep me from closing the folder unless I shut down the computer completely. I can open all other folders on the desk top without a problem. My game folder never gave me trouble before.
Try this. Open one of your files. The window that contains your picture is named at the top. Command click on the name and you'll see the entire path starting with its name and then moving to the folder, the folder it is contained in, etc all the way to down to the hard drive volume name. This should tell you where to find the folder.

How to Open a Specific Folder in the Finder via Shortcut Key
I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere, so sorry for not finding it...
Is it possible to assign a shortcut key to open a specific folder with Automator or AppleScript? There are 4-5 commonly used folders buried 10-11 levels deep on a server and I'd love to have a shortcut key to open those particular folders in the Finder.
Could you give me some assistance?
Thanks!QuickKeys may work, or you can look on http://www.versiontracker.com or http://www.macupdate.com for other alternatives.
Another option is to create aliases to those folders and store the aliases in a local folder which you can place on your Dock, the Finder window sidebar or toolbar. -
A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference. I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
Any thoughts about what might be wrong?Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Firefox 15.0.1 stops responding (100% cpu) when a link opens in a new window.
Whenever I click a link that is designed to open in a new window Firefox goes straight to 100% cpu usage and I have to go through the Windows "end now" sequence to close the program. I've tried opening one of the links in a new window but I think it was done in java not html (not sure if all the links are java when this happens as that's the only one I've tested). Not sure what details someone might need but this is on my Mom's older laptop with Windows XP Media Center Edition Ver. 2002 Service Pack 2. Hmmm just saw the SP2 will try to update and see what that does though I don't think that's the issue.
So what is happening or not happening now ? The problem computer is your Moms, but I assume your own computer works ok. Have you tried that on the same internet connection as your Mom uses & visiting the same sites?
Also try Internet Explorer. If that is also very slow the problem may not lie with Firefox.
I suggest you try the Firefox Reset feature on your Mom's computer,
* BUT first of all
**make a note of the software extensions that are in use, and bookmark their download and support sites.
** back up the Firefox profile [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* follow the instructions in the following article, after reading the caution about what will be lost
**[[Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and fix problems]] -
Windowserver spikes to 100% cpu opening one specific folder
one issue keeps haunting my imac 27" (late 2013) running on maverick 10.9.4
everything runs pretty fine until i open one folder containing further folders with jpgs. the primary folder is 1.98 gb, but i have other folders on the external wd my book drive that are 78 gb heavy and don't have that issue of windowserver spiking up to 100 % cpu. the problem is limited to that one folder.
i have know idea, what makes that folder special. i didn't have these problems on my old imac, where i can open the folder, delete jpg etc. without any problem.
any suggestions?It's probably a combination of Flash and video decoding. Flash is not coded very efficiently on the Mac and uses more CPU than it should. On an older machine, this can tax the CPU to its limit. You can watch CPU usage spike even on Flash sites that don't use video - try it sometime.
Second, the way that current video codecs get so much quality out of so little bandwidth is by applying encoding so intensive that you need a very powerful CPU to decode it. Codecs that assume they will be running on the 2GHz dual-core CPUs of the last few years will overtax the slower single-core G4 processors of half a decade ago.
I can watch Hulu and other videos on my PowerBook G4 at standard resolution (Hulu at a low frame rate, though), but the G4 cannot handle high quality resolution playback at all.
In your case, it's important to kill off any CPU-intensive processes that don't need to be running in the background when you're trying to watch something. -
100% cpu when scrolling in Adobe Reader 8.1.2
I've installed Reader 8.1.2 on a 2003 Windows server STD Edition with SP1. Everytime I open a pdf document (regardless of what's contained in it)and I scroll using the mouse or the scroll bar the AcroRd32.exe process spikes near 100% utilization. The effect is, scrolling slows down extremely slow and you loose control of the scrolling until it stops. Once the scrolling stops the CPU utilization comes back down to zero for the AcroRd32.exe process.
Side note, I've tried different types of pdf documents, some with plain text and some with pictures. The same result occurs every time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.I also have this problem. 2 gig ram / athlon 2400+ @ 2.0 GHz. Adobe reader 9.0.0.0
Save yourself the headache and dump adobe. Since they haven't responded i'd give up hope on them. I'm using an alternative open source alternative. sumatra pdf. Initially opening a pdf it's quite slow but after that it's infinitely better than scrolling h311 with adobe's reader. -
Ntvdm using 100% cpu when installing jdev 3.2
I downloaded jdev32.zip from otn, unzipped it into a directory and tried to launch setup.exe. Busy cursor appears for about 15 secs, then disappears. ntvdm is startet and consumes 100 % cpu time. No install screen appears.
I stopped almost every service on my nt 4.0 server sp 5, no help.
Anybody any idea / experience ?

This is most unusual. Possibly a corrupted Zip file was downloaded - Possibly other resource / file issues.
Please check the following things:
1. Make sure you have pleanty of available free disk space for the installation to unzip and install.
2. Run WinZip on the Zip file to see if any errors pop up - if so, you may need to re-download.
3. Possibly - Reboot machine and then try to install when minimal OS activity has occurred.
I hope this helps,
-John<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Dear John
Thank you for your reply. I can exclude the bad zip file, for the setup programs from jdev 3.1.1.2 and jdev 3.1, which happened to stay on my machine, show the same behaviour (they worked fine at their time). I agree that it has something to do with my installation. Meanwhile, I reapplied service pack 5 and applied service pack 6 for NT, no help.
I will try to check with install shield corporation.

VPN CONCERNTRATOR 3005 running at 100 CPU!!
Hi all
We have a customer which has a VPN concerntrator model 3005. They have been complaining that over the last 6-7 months that connectioned from about 20 remote sites (L2L) have been running very slowly. This occurs especially when the VPNC CPU shows that it is running at 100%. As soon as this drops, it all returns to normal. However, it is intermittent and even when there are minimal active sessions the CPU goes to 100%. The VPNC has 64mb ram and the usage is a mere 30%...Can anyone explain what is going on? The remote sites are running cisco routers over broadband. Which pass through a PIX 515E (via ACL) to be authenticated on this VPNC.
Someone help?
Regards
Randeep CCSPHigh CPU utilization may depends on a number of factors, please let me know the following:
1 - Do you have compression turned on for any of the group, how many of those users connected at the same time, compression is extremely cpu intensive?
2 - Is your SEP card(s) taking load, what does "Monitoring | Sessions | SEPs" show?
3 - What other features you have configured on the box, QoS/Routing Protocols?
4 - Do you have logging turned on the box, if yes, what are the severity levels configured, high
severity level will result in high cpu util.
