Google Chrome Helper is not responding after Mavericks upgrade

Since installing Mavericks on my 2011 Macbook Air, Google Chrome has frozen twice and activity monitor says this is due to a process called google chrome helper.
Chrome Version 30.0.1599.101
The first time, I could not get my machine to respond so I had to do a hard reset.  On the next occasion I waited and it started responding again.
Never had this problem on Mountain Lion and I am a chrome tab ****.
Cheers

Here's the last entry in the Chrome dev's forum:
This bug is fixed and the fix will reach the stable channel eventually.
This is an issue with how Activity Monitor determines responsiveness – these processes are running perfectly fine. (We changed chrome to work around that Activity Monitor issue, and the fix will reach you eventually...
That is "dated" about five hours ago (current local time here is 6:23pm, CDT). So there should be a new version of "something" available soon. The reason I say "something" is because several dev's claimed a new version of "Canary" seems to fix this problem. I'm no dev but the concensus seems to be that the 'helper' is actually work/responding fine, as far as Chrome is concerned. But there are some changes and API calls that make Activity Monitor 'think' it's "not responding." Reading that last post, however, leads me to believe that a new version of Chrome will soon be available. I have no idea what "Canary" even is but many may not be using it so the fact that it fixes this problem is irrelevent; the fix needs to be seen by all Chrome users.
Hope this helps. Here a link to that dev thread (80 posts): https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=304860&can=1&q=app%20nap&col spec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Iteration%20ReleaseBlock%20Cr%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20O S%20Modified

  • Applications not responding after Mavericks upgrade

    Just upgraded an IMac-2009 of a friend from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and faced Mail & Contacts not responding (spinning ball).
    May be there coud be addtl applications not responding but i only checked the major ones and those 2 causes problems.
    I just asked him to re-install OS-X (01:40) and i will see (am living far from him)
    I have also read a lot of communities questions and have some lines of thinking like preferences & permissions.
    2 questions :
    1) Some ideas to help me
    2) is there a way to manage his IMac from home (I have a MacBookPro using Mavericks)
    Thank you in advance
    Best regards

    Hi,
    Thanks for everything you provided to me : it helped me a lot.
    The last status is (for info)
    - i decided to re-install Mavericks (for the 3rd time !!!) as the upgrade was so badly installed and i was surprised to see that this time, the re-installation shows "complements modules to re-install" (translated from french) with a schedule of 01:02 (against 01:40 before)
    - and apparently my friend called me later to say : everything is working fine. He recovered all applications.
    Strange but I am happy by now.
    Thank you again

  • Imac not responding after mavericks upgrade- black screen

    Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks 2-3 weeks ago ....if I leave my mac for a while and then try to wake it up with a touch of mouse or keyboard, the screen remains black. The mac is still on as its warm .The only way to recover this is to :
    1. Pull out the plug - gives fresh reboot
    2. Keep the start button pressed for approx 5-10 secs, then press it again and the mac powers up...to the state it was when left ie not a fresh reboot.
    This is very annoying , has my wife yelling at me and no longer gives us the instant access from sleep we used to have ...
    Any help appreciated !
    Thanks Jon.
    I have a 27" iMac from August 2010 (ie v soon after CPU upgrade) , core i3 processor

    OK I appear to have fixed this ...after the Mavericks upgrade the screensaver was reset to loading photo's from "national geographic" which it did after a few mins...i have changed this to another option photo's of earch/space etc..now i can wake the imac from sleep immediately as before ....so now fixed !

    Re: Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.

    Hey there sarunelis,
    It sounds like after updating to 10.9 the zoom function is not functioning at all. It sounds like you may need to check for 3rd party plugins. This article will help you check for that.

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

  • Notes problem after Mavericks upgrade

    Notes will not sync after Mavericks upgrade, other apps - mail & contacts & calendar do sync

    First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

  • Most of the default Mac Apps does not work after Mavericks Upgrade

    Hi, I did everything, but nothing has brought me out of this misery .
    I Updated Maverick just 2 days after its release. Had no problems, other then slow Finder. I restarted my iMac last week, and got caught with these issues, known to me, not sure what all bugs are there.
    All these apps does not work: App Store, TextEdit, Preview, Terminal, iBooks, Maps, Calendar, Contacts, Mail, etc
    I do not know how to do a clean install, as I had upgraded from Snow Leopord to Mountain Lion and to Maverick using App Store, which does not open at all.
    Hoping to get some response soon from Apple support team to help me.

  • Why does Verizon Wireless ask to confirm my email address when I touch the Google Chrome app, but not respond when the correct info is entered?

    I touch the Chrome app icon on my Droid and a Verizon message comes up. It asks me to confirm my email address as shown on the screen, and has a field for entering my billing zip. When I do so, it flashes as if processing but comes right back to the same screen with the zip code field empty. I went on line and confirmed that all info in my profile was correct. Anyone out there with the same problem and/or help?

        Lets get to the bottom of this, Dwix! I personally use the Google Chrome application and love it. I am confident that we can figure it out together. Did you just start using the application? Have you had this message pop-up before? You mentioned that it is a Verizon Message, does it come in a form of a text message? Is it possible for you to send us a screenshot of this message?
    Please share the details needed so that we can better assist!
    Thank you,

  • Microsoft Word 2011 not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    After my upgrade to OS X Mavericks yesterday, my Microsoft Office Word 2011 program has not been working properly. After a short while of being open in the background while using other applications, it stops responding and causes the whole computer to act extremely slow. It causes me to Force Quit the application. What can I do to fix this? It never did this before.

    You were not using Mavaricks before either.
    You will need to contact Microsoft for Mac Support  and/or post in their forums.

  • Mac Mail not working after Mavericks upgrade

    After successfully updating to Mavericks, Mac Mail app does not launch (window does not appear on screen) and requires force quit to stop. I also have Outlook loaded and it started up and works fine.  I would rather use Mail. Anyone else have this issue?  Is there any easy fix?  The app doesn't launch completely so I can't clear any of the accounts to try to start Mail fresh.

    Here's my issue and how I fixed it. If you have this problem then try what I did.
    When I lauched Mail, it appeared like it opened but then wouldn't display any windows at all and wouldn't
    update my mail count on the icon.
    Within mail there is options to display. The setting was set to "assign to none". That makes mail appears as though it is not working and seemed to bottleneck how mail operates.
    In the dock - click and hold on Mail - open Options and chose the display you wish to assign the window to display
    mail.
    Hope this helps.

  • Printers and Scanners preference pane does not work after Mavericks upgrade

    I upgraded to Mavericks on my late 2011 MacBook Pro, and my printers and scanners preference pane stopped working. Sometimes it comes back as an error and wont open, other times it opens but the list of printers is obscured and not really showing, and it does not react normally. I tried reinstalling from System Restore with the onlie version, but that just took 6 hours but did not really help. I am going a little crazy as I cant get my Canon MX330 scanner installed and recognized. Does anyone have any ideas for me please??

    I'm assuming that you're referring to the Printers & Scanners in System Preferences (not a preference pane, which is a different animal).
    While I haven't experienced your issue, one thing that users find helpful is to go to System Preferences/Printers & Scanners/, and delete the printers listed by tapping on - (minus). Then, reenter the information when it's required later.

  • Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.

    Since upgrading my late 2009 iMac to Mavericks and Safari 7.0 the zoom function in Safari (cmd and +) doesn't work properly.  I used to use the zoom in Safari at the beginning of my session to help me read pages a little easier and zoom remained at the level I set it at but after upgrading the text reverts to actual size every time a new page is loaded.  It's becoming a bit of a pain to reset the zoom on every page load.  I've tried everything I can think of to resolve this but without success.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  Thanks in advance.
