FP uses entire CPU

Why does FlashPlayer take over the whole CPU capacity (98%) and slow my PC to a crawl?

ICal in Leopard uses max CPU and must be force-quit

I'm having a problem with iCal 3.0 in Leopard. When left running, eventually it will start to use my entire CPU for no reason. I have tried wiping out all of its preference files, and deleted all my "subscribed" calendars (in case it was maybe stuck trying to update one), but it's still acting up. Interestingly, when it goes into this CPU hogging seizure, if I try to quit it normally at that time, the program will quit, but then immediately relaunches itself as "hidden" -- as if it needed to remain open to finish some kind of indexing or something. I find I need to then force quit it twice before it will stay closed and quit being a nuisance.
Something is definitely broken here.
On the other hand, at least the dock icon for it (appears to) always display the correct date now. Although I apparently can't leave iCal running anymore (unless I want to listen to my fan going full blast all day), I'm glad it no longer needs to actually be launched to realize it isn't July 17 every day of the year.
I've seen a few similar reports from other users. Has anyone found a workaround for this yet?

I did some more testing yesterday. I created a new user, launched iCal, played around with it a bit, and left it open for awhile. It never maxed out the CPU or became unresponsive, and appears to be working perfectly with a fresh set of calendars.
As I mentioned in my first post, I had already deleted all of the preference and .plist files in my regular user account, and that did not fix the problem. I have now concluded that there must be something "corrupt" in one of my calendar files (I don't think they are actually corrupt though; my guess is that iCal 3 just has some kind of bug that only occurs with some certain type of legacy data). If I could, I would simply delete those and start fresh, but I have far too much valuable information in there to do that. Unfortunately, it is not possible to export individual events; all I can do is backup and restore entire calendars. I tried that, and the problem continues, so I am at a loss as to how I can solve this without destroying several years worth of data.
As I am not willing to lose all of my old data, I guess I will just have to wait until this nasty bug in iCal 3 gets fixed.

Converting to MP3 causes iTunes to Not Respond while using 50% CPU usage and makes my computer stutter

Anytime I attempt to "Createa an MP3 Version" of a track, it will take a REALLY long time to work.
Right now I am attempting to convert an audio book I have which has 88 tracks. Once I start to convert anything more than 1 track at a time, iTunes immediatly becomes "Not Responding" and takes up about 50% of my CPU the entire time. It seems like it's doing something in the background but it won't even update the screen anymore, creating weird effects on my screen (Ghost menu bars show up at the top of my screen, etc.). In addition, once iTunes becomes non-responsive, my entire computer starts to "stutter" meaning that every other second everything momentarily hiccips and stop for a split-second. This means that while iTunes is converting any multiple MP3 files, if I drag the mouse across the screen, it stops every other second. Any videos that I try to play pause every other second briefly. Basically, my computer becomes almost unusable. Plus, while iTunes is working in the background, different programs randomly jump to the front of the screen. I will try to be using my web browser while iTunes is working in the background. Then, suddenly, iTunes pops back up to the foreground in front of my browser (put still won't be responsive to clicks). My notes program will also flash windows in front of my web browser while surfing, again, only when iTunes is running in the background.
I really don't understand:
1. Why it takes so much time to convert any file to an MP3 file. Even converting a single track takes a few minutes. I'll let my Macbook Pro (with Windows) sit for HOURS upon hours trying to convert the 88 track audio book and it always freezes up and never comes back.
2. Why iTunes becomes non-responsive so quickly and won't allow the screen to update once it starts "thinking." It caps out around 50% of my CPU power so it's not like it doesn't have the headroom to refresh the screen while it works.
3. Why does iTunes' working in the background affect every other program I am running? I don't mind if it uses up CPU cycles in the background, but if it makes my computer unusable while doing so, it's really not worth it.
I should state that I love Apple products (even though I use Windows on my MBP for school purposes). However, I absolutely DREAD having to do anything with iTunes anymore because it has become such a hog on my computer. Someone please tell me that there is something wrong with my iTunes and/or a setting I should change. I have already re-installed iTunes from scratch before and that didn't help.

Not a solution, but if the Podcast feed is dormant, why not unsubscribe?
As to the file structure for media on the device it is deliberately obscured as a countermeasure to casual piracy. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Content put on the iPod by a non-iPod aware product is going to treat it like any external drive. The iPod firmware won't read that media.

Premiere Pro CC only using 30% CPU and none of the GPU

Hi,
I’m very new to video editing (actually I have no Idea what H264, or avi or mp4 or mov is, I just need the video to work) and I have never used Premiere Pro before. Now I'm trying the CC 7.0 trial.
My goal is to achieve the fastest rendering times possible.
Today I have upgraded my PC for maximal performance in video editing:
Intel i7 4930K (12threads)
Radeon 6950 (2GB)
16GB RAM
SSD
I have a recorded video of me playing a PC game in .avi 2552*1348 resolution (2560*1440 monitor without some borders).
I have set export to H.264 and settings to match source (resolution 2552*1348, 30 FPS, Progressive, Square pixels, NTSC, main, 5.0).
But when rendering (no effects, just cutting) the program only uses 22-45% of the entire CPU and none of the GPU.
The best result with this stress was cca 1:1 rendering:movie length. I'm using 16GB RAM, I tried 32GB and 64GB and the stress on CPU and GPU was the same and the rendering times changed only slightly.
I have an SSD and the read write speeds during rendering are 1-9 MB/s so there is plenty of performance left.
Frankly, this 1:1 performance offers Power Director 11 which I have been using so far. (When editing 1080p the ratio in PP is cca 1:2,5, the same as in Power Director.)
So when the disks are idle, the GPU is idle, more RAM changes nothing and the CPU only works on 1/3 its capacity, what is the bottleneck?
I want to use 100% of the CPU and 100% of the GPU and have the rendering:movie say 0,3:1 or so.
What can I change to fully use the processing power of my computer?
Thanks

Apple Mail client (version 8.0) using 100%+ CPU upon using mail drop (13" R-MBP running Yosemite 10.10)

Hello Support Community,
I am having quite the interesting issue. I have read plenty of reports where users' Apple Mail app is using 100% of CPU. This did not start for me until I went to go use the new mail drop feature in Yosemite. I am running Yosemite (10.10) on my 13" Retina - MacBook Pro (flash storage, 8GB RAM, 2.4 dual-core Intel i5) and my Apple mail is version 8.0. I have tried 3 different mail services (2 gmail accounts and iCloud), all result in the same issue. I have also done a complete erase of the hard disk and a brand new install of Yosemite, the issue persists.
As previously stated my mail app is using 100% upon, and only while, using the mail drop feature. If I force quit the mail app and allow it a minute, the mail app returns to using less than 1% of the CPU and the app and entire system resume normal function. Upon attempting to resend the same message that is placed in my outbox the CPU usage jumps to 50-80%. After a few seconds, the CPU usage will sometimes jump higher than 100%, ranging from 130% - 199%. All of these observations were made using Activity Monitor. Of course you can see my frustration, an app using this much CPU stops every process my Mac is doing (using safari, messages, iTunes etc.) - the whole computer locks up. Even force quitting is a difficult process to attempt.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I am at a loss and have no idea what to do. I am a pretty tech savvy guy and have tried everything that I would've thought would fix this. Is there anyway this could be a hardware issue? I don't think so but... all possibilities need to be taken into consideration, even though that one seems outlandish. Upon creating a new user account with a separate user library (but same system library) I figured the OS was the problem. I can't narrow it down to being a specific mail provider, and it can't be my OS since I have now erased and reinstalled 10.10 twice. Thank you!

I have this same issue. It has been driving me insane, Mac Mail uses 100% CPU most of the time I use it, after every time I open the machine, or after a sleep or even mostly after a screen saver has locked me out. It normally settles down after 5-15 minutes, but then happens every time again. It is killing my battery.

Firefox won't open following update. Can't open Profile Mgr, even when using entire directory path in cmd line

I'm running Firefox on a Windows 7 machine. Firefox won't open following the latest update. I've read the help articles and it seems like I need to create a new profile because my settings have likely been corrupted. I'm unable to open Profile Mgr, even when using entire directory path in cmd line. I've tried the following commands in the command line:
firefox -p
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p
Nothing happens with either command.
I'm also running Norton Internet Security. I read a help article Re Virtual Browsing features possibly causing a problem. The article said to check the virtualization setting in the internet security software and to clear the virtual cache. I went thru all of the settings menus in Norton Internet Security version 21.6.0.32 and I didn't see anything that looked like 'virtualization" settings, so I assumed that this doesn't apply to me.
If you have any ideas, I'd sure appreaciate your expertise!!

hello arcandl, when firefox isn't launching after you double-click on the shortcut this is sometimes also a sign of malware being active on a system.
you might want to try running a scan with some different other security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] which are specialised in removing adware and browser hijackers.

Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option doesn't works

OK, guys, this is the problem...
After YEARS of testing from Acrpbat 4 thru 9 on Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option... it doesn't works properly and doesn't got the entire site. ALWAYS get an error of memory or any other error but FINALLY you NEVER got the entire site. I'm talking for a big website... not like amazon.com, but a big one.
I make a walkarround to try to capture the website in parts but Acrobat is not "intelligent" to make a resume capture of the site, because ALWAYS start from the begining instead from the resume position of the site...
My question is, HOW can get the ENTIRE SITE in a PDF document... without getting errors or stopping the capture process...
Don't have problem of low RAM memory because I'm in a MONSTER MACINTOSH.... 3.2 GHZ with 8 Core and 32 GB of RAM under Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 in Acrobat 9 Pro.
If I'm not wrong, the GET ENTIRE SITE option in Web Capture (Create a PDF from webpage using entire site option) doesn't works from Acrobat 4 thru 9 in Pro version... tested, you'll never got the entire site... I'm talking in capture a huge entire site and not a little one...
Can someone help me?
Thanks.

Ok so I go to a web page and select something to print. Once I've clicked print I switch over from printer/micosoft xps docu writer/fax and select Adobe PDF. All goes through with a 'Create Adobe PDF' coming up progressing through to eventually save and store. Once I open the file it end up as the picture above. I have the same version on another computer and that works fine but this particular Sony laptop it doesn't seem to work properly.

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

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.

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
Unhide Passwords 1.2.5.1
User Agent Switcher 0.7.2
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

New DVD writer on Satellite M40-193 uses 100% CPU

Hello anyone,
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

When I log in to EM, I can see section
Host CPU
It is 100%.
I have only instance named "parama". and it uses 1% CPU ant the picture shows that 99% CPU is used By Other.
What is Other? Why does it use that much CPU?
I had another oracle instance few months ago, but I is not used now (it is not even started).
How do I restore normal system performance?
Can I kill these processes?

Hello,
I have a similar problem. I see 2 perl processes related to Oracle that are taking up 99% of 2 cpus. These 2 perl processes have been running for days and keeping the load average high (above 2) on a mostly idle system.
The 2 perl processes are running:
/oracle/app/product/10.2.0/db_1/perl/bin/perl /oracle/app/product/10.2.0/db_1/sysman/admin/scripts/db/dbarchfull.pl
and
/oracle/app/product/10.2.0/db_1/perl/bin/perl /oracle/app/product/10.2.0/db_1/sysman/admin/scripts/db/dbresp.pl
Has anyone seen this problem? Can I kill the perl processes?

Start x11vnc -- X uses 100% cpu load

Hi.
I switched to arch64 and today I first used x11vnc and it is extremly slow. First I thought about the proxied connection but after looking into top I found X is using 100% cpu load. With arch32 everything worked as normal. Don't know whats the problem - any advices?
Regard, Andreas

Hmmm, I switched from official nvidia driver to xf86-video-nv and now works much better. I'll try it again with nvidia but not today...

Portal Uses 80% CPU

Hi,
My portal keeps on using 80% CPU and causes the server to be very slow and have to be restarted.
Whenever I log in to the portal page and click on my discoverer portlet there, I always get Page Cannot Be Displayed.
Can somebody help me on this issue, what might cause the problem and how to solve it? Thanks.

Move xorg.conf to another directory (back it up) and try starting X without xorg.conf. X increased cpu usage but not that much (around 2-5%) on C2D 1.8GHz...

RMAN parameters - to use more CPU for Backup & Restore

Hi Friends,
I am using RMAN backup on 11g database on windows.
RMAN is taking almost 1 hr to restore the database and i could see the CPU usage is very less - less than 10% during restore.
so how can i make the RMAN backup and restore faster by using more CPU on windows.
Regards,
DB

Even better, check the wait events in your database and you'll know why the backup / restore is not as expected.
