High CPU use (sorry for cross-posting this one)

I've posted this under general here: [High CPU Use? |High CPU Use? ] but think maybe I should have posted in this forum.
Any help much appreciated.

I just posted a reply in the original thread, I guess it's easier to follow this if you have question and answer in one place.

the many options in 'Export with Quicktime...' offer you .aiff as format.. which is the audio-only of your project.. drag that into iTunes/Toast/Jam/whatever CD-authoring you're using and you get an audioCD of the iM-project..
but that is a single-track, whole-gig-in-once CD ... little convenient (I would prefer seperate tracks).. so, I guess, you have to edit that .aiff export first in some app, ... I'm just an average iLife User, my preferred tool is Garageband... but, for sure, any other audio-processor, as Logic, is able to handle that with a snap..
just to feed my curiosity: what spurred you to give yourself such a nic??

Using XCode for Cross Developing (Target would be Linux x86)

I'm developing RealTime Software - running as RT-Kernel modules - written in C for Linux x86 (RTlinux on Kernel Version >2.4.32 or RTAI on Kernel Version 2.6.x).
At the moment I develop using ssh and vi on the target machine. This is NOT very comfortable.
After searching your forum I found:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2322911&#2322911
Fine Links to the XCode Documentation. But reading it I just found how to cross develop to MacOS X targets (x86 and PPC).
Can you please tell me, if it is possible to use XCode for cross development with target machines using Linux on x86?
Thank you
Johann

In theory, yes. In practice, no. You would need a version of GCC that supports targeting that architecture and all the header and library files for that architecture. It is highly unlikely to be worth the time and effort to try it and it may not even work even if you do everything right. Plus, you would still have to run and test on the target platform.
You'll just have to make life the best that you can on Linux. I suggest downloading the NEdit editor for X Windows. It is as good as any Mac editor and very easy to script for automation.

Curve 9300 problem ..... Please Help ! (SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST)

SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST GUYS, it bugged and I don't know how to delete it ! I don't want to get an infraction :/ ..
Hey Guys ! First of all, I'm new to the community and looking forward to be as active as possible to help people and get help from professionals ! (And sorry for my bad english tho :/..)
So here's the problem ...... I bought a blackbery Curve 9300 today, and what happens, is when I try to update it, it gave me at first, error 507 (Which means there's no OS in the device I suppose) ... when I tried to update it again, it gets stuck on ''Reconnecting to JVN'' or ''JVM'' can't remember ..... ive been trying to find a solution for hours and stil no luck .... i tried pulling the battery out and putting it back in, but doesnt work ..... a pop up message told me to go to control panel, check for USB Root hub and put a check mark on a certain option, but they were already checked ..... this situation is extremely frustrating because the guy from whom i bought the phone doesn't answer anymore, and I don't really want to take it to a store to repair it for like 60-80 $ or whatever ..... if possible, I'd like to get some help please !!!
Thank-You in advance guys !

Hi 12khaled21,
Welcome to the community.
Error code 507 comes when there is no OS installed in your device.
Try downloading appropriate OS and install it.

Who uses STP for audio post professionally

Who uses STP for audio post and can it be used as a alternative to high end audio editor such as protools? Im studying sound design and I completely forgot about STP and I wanna to dig a little deeper and experiment with the program so.....is it any good or shall I save up for protools???

Let me start by saying I'm not an audio engineer but a picture editor. Having said that I feel I can shed a little light on this topic. STP is not ProTools. There are people who love STP and those that hate it. I find it useful in a couple of ways.
1. Creating Noise Prints and reducing background sounds like AC or refrigerator. This is what I predominantly use STP for.
2. Using the Time Stretching tool. You can change the length of an audio clip without affecting the pitch. You can also do this in FCP with a filter but sometimes I find it easier in STP.
3. The Music Beds and Sound Effects. I find these useful whether as temp music or having more choices in SFX.
All that I mentioned above can be done in ProTools. I find that the roundtrip between FCP and STP to be very easy which is why I use it for my needs. If you are studying sound design then my suggestion would be to become knowledgeable in as many software applications as you can. The concepts are the same just the tools are different.
I hope this helps!

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi All,
I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.
What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?
Thanks in advance,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

It should be within a few days, but it might vary a bit by bank/provider :
I am in India, if the bank don't refunds , what to do?
Rajagopal.pngr :- It is only a holding charge, it is not a permanent charge. If it isn't refunded within a few days or so (and it quite possibly won't be over a weekend) then you can query the charge with Apple.

I don't think so.
I have enough experience with LR to know what to expect for various activities.
Previews for all photos had been rendered long before I initiated the Save Metadata.
Metadata for 50 of the 52 files had already been written.
The high cpu had gone on for at least 5 minutes.   I switched to another app imediately after initiating the Save Metadata for the 52 files and only went back to LR when I heard my CPU fan running for a long time.
When I got back to LR, I saw the "Could not save metadata" window. I clicked "Show in Library" and OK. As soon as I did that, CPU usage went back to normal.
I've experienced the exact same scenario, where LR can't save metadata for all photos and I've never had LR get stuck consuming a very large amount of CPU.
As a test, I selected 118 other photos, changed metadata for all of them and then selected all and saved metadata. LR took about 20 seconds to save metadata for all 118 and LR CPU usage never went above 17%. The difference is that LR did not show the "Could not save metadata" window.

Yet another high cpu using flash issue

Salutations. What I'm about to tell you won't come to you as a surprise as there have been many similar topics discussed here. In fact, on the first page, there were two. So let's get on with it!
hp pavillion entertainment notebook dv6 e2170ee
windows 7 64bit
6gb ram
intel core i7 cpu q 720 @ 1.60 GHz    (never overclocked. don't know how to)
nvidia geforce gt 230m
firefox is on safe mode. kind of better than regular mode.
firefox waaaay better than chrome in handling flash. haven't tried it on ie. don't want to. i left ie8 at version 8
flash hardware accelration is off
firefox hardware accelaration is on
latest flash player enabled
latest shock player enabled
latest flash director enabled
latest firefox
no idea if my vents and cooling system work properly. read several posts about this issue being related to hardware.
i have updated my drivers using hp support assistant, driver detective, and windows update. wouldn't be surprised if there was a conflict with all this nvidia driver as well. went to the site. it detected my model and sent me the driver. had audio and video options in it.
while writing this post, the adobe tab + 4 flash tabs off the same site (youtube, younow, cam sites, etc) are open.
performance tab in taskbar says
flashplayer 15 *32bit (2 processes with the same name but diff cpu usage by the way. why 2?) is using 5%
firefox *32 bit is using 5%
audiodg.exe is nowhere to be found
now firefox and flashplayer keep alternating ofcourse. flash always ends up with higher cpu when everything breaks. i have noticed that even after closing ff, ff and flash are still in the processes table. they stay there for a bit. why?
ISSUE NUMBER 1: i can't play a video and have flash players on at the same time. I'd like to watch a movie and every now and then look to my other screen to see what's going on with the flash site. it can't be done. all is well at the beginning then it goes to hell. i have the latest free version of bsplayer and videolan. Yes vlc handles better but it all goes to hell in the end. sometimes the video won't even show on vlc; only audio
ISSUE NUMBER 2: i don't understand the logic behind the increase in cpu. if i have 6 tabs open all flash all is well. but at some point it just spikes up. so i always try to keep the number of flash tabs as low as possible. sometimes 4 are no issue but 5 are a big issue. sometimes closing a tab helps and sometimes it doesnt.
ISSUE NUMBER 3: audiodg starts using more than 2%. It can go up to 11 or 13 even. That shouldn't happen. I've been told that for it to go beyond 2 or even 3 means there's a conflict. I had trouble dealing with this issue. I don't know what or where the conflict is. So if there's anyone here that's good at this please contact me. Ill post a pic of device manager. For the sound, i have 4 nvideo and 1 idt audio codec. I cdon't know which to disable or uninstall. im thinking of unintalling every audio/video driver i hav and start from the beginning. BUT LETS NOT MAKE THIS ABOUT AUDIO/VIDEO CONFLICT
QUESTION 1: was there ever a time when this issue didn't exist? perhaps there's a "stable" version of ff or flash that don't cause this.
QUESTION 2: ive seen a lot of posts about this but I honestly can't remember any participants saying OH REALLY? ODD, I NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE
QUESTION 3: isn't there some kind of tracer that can track the moment that it goes to hell? im sure there is but no one's mentioned it so far
QUESTION 4: would buying a new laptop solve this? I'd like to think not since the issue is flash not the capabilities of a laptop but i can't help but think that a better laptop will fix this. My laptop is 4 years old.
QUESTION 5: i don't know anything about multithreading or multiple cores handling a single process but if someone showed me how, would that resolve my issue?
MY WISH: for flash to coexist peacefully with human beings

Disabling Hardware Acceleration in Flash means that we're doing all of the processing on the CPU, instead of on the GPU. The GPU is purpose-built for 3D graphics and video decoding and is far more power efficient. Decoding H.264 video in software is very CPU intensive, which is why we made the huge investment to enable hardware acceleration on the vast majority of available desktop hardware. Running six CPU intensive tasks simultaneously (which is what you're doing by using six simultaneous tabs) is unsurprisingly going to tax your machine.
If you've disabled Hardware Acceleration because video wasn't working right or something, figuring out how to get that enabled (or moving to better hardware with good driver support) would solve the vast majority of what you're describing here. If HP doesn't offer updated drivers, I'd recommend trying the corresponding Nvidia drivers, as OEMs aren't always motivated to pick up the latest fixes once a model is no longer generating new revenue for them. The chipset manufacturers tend to provide longer support, but those drivers aren't officially supported by the OEM.
The architecture for Protected Mode for Firefox is a result of the fact that we've retrofitted a modern plug-in security approach to a legacy plug-in architecture. As you've noticed, equivalent sandboxing in other major browsers is designed into their plug-in architectures, and is therefore more efficient. We've made huge investments to support modern security architecture and always do our best to accommodate efforts from our partners in the browser space to further secure the browser. You can find a detailed explanation of our approach to Firefox here: Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox
Firefox controls the instantiation and destruction of Flash instances. You'll also notice that Firefox hangs out for a while after shutdown. This is something that we're aware of, but it's beyond our control.
Flash doesn't have much to do with audiodg, except for the fact that it generates sound and uses the windows sound subsystem. This article seems to present some reasonable advice in resolving issues with high CPU consumption from the sound subsystem. Fix Audiodg.exe High CPU Usage in Windows 7 | Windows EXE Errors
Hardware accelerated video encoding is typically not available on consumer-grade hardware (primarily because of the difference in licensing models for encoding and decoding with popular commercial codecs), and therefore is done on the CPU. The particular website chooses what codecs and bitrates are involved, and higher quality feed will consume more CPU. It's also worth pointing out that not all video can be decoded in hardware. We provide clear guidance to content providers on how to encode video so that it can be played back efficiently, it's ultimately up to the content provider to follow that advice.
So, long story short, each tab consumes resources. Running a single tab is going to use less resources than running multiple tabs. The latest version of Internet Explorer does some stuff to reduce resource consumption in tabs that you're not actively looking at. We're discussing possibilities with the Chrome folks for doing the same thing in Chromium-based browsers. Mozilla isn't interested in investing in browser plug-ins, so we don't expect to see the necessary browser-side improvements there. The Chrome sandboxing model is more efficient that protected mode for Firefox, so tasks that require moving a lot of data (like streaming video) may use less CPU in Chrome.
To answer your questions specifically:
1.) There was a time before we supported multiple tabs, webcam streaming, H.264 video decoding and modern security sandboxing. I wouldn't recommend using those versions.
2.) There are a few posts about this, but we have ~1.5 billion users. The majority of the very small number of folks relative to our install base are complaining their machines are overheating, which is a symptom of an ineffective cooling system.
     There's nothing magic about Flash that causes it to somehow superheat the CPU.
     There was a time before tabs, where people didn't normally run 5-50 browser windows. Websites also got much more complex, and the security threats got far more serious and complex.
     Playing video as a plug-in in the browser as opposed to something like VLC is inherently less efficient, as pretty much each pixel and packet gets passed through the browser before it gets to the OS or drivers.
     All of these things require additional processing. The resources on your computer are still finite, and there is an upper limit to the number of simultaneous tabs you can use.
     At some point, you come to a juncture where you need to decide between throwing more hardware at the problem, or using less tabs simultaneously.
     Also, most laptops have power saving CPUs, so they'll ratchet the clock speed down to save battery. You might want to check your power settings to make sure you're running at the CPU's full capacity when plugged in.
3.) Not that would generate anything really useful.
4.) Possibly. You actually already have a multi-core machine. I think you'd get more bang for your buck by enabling hardware acceleration and switching browsers.
5.) You already have a multi-core machine that we support.
Your Wish: We're constantly addressing security issues identified through our own testing, emerging research and intelligence from our partners in academia, government and industry. We're also looking for opportunities to tune the player, but the reality is that Intel, Nvidia and ATI (and a long list of others, in addition to Adobe) have tuned Flash Player extensively for their hardware. We work closely with the Internet Explorer and Chrome teams to continue to make the Flash experience better, and are always happy to work with the Firefox team should they decide that they're interested in plug-ins and the desktop browser again. At the end of the day, Flash is just a low-level runtime. It's just as possible to write inefficient ActionScript as it is to write inefficient C++, and while we provide some fantastic tooling for profiling your Flash content, it's up to individual content providers to write efficient code. It's really difficult to find opportunities to make generic optimizations that don't break a percentage of the hundreds of millions of sites published with Flash content.
I'm actually still not clear on what the problem you're experiencing is. All software running on your machine that's actively processing something is going to use a non-zero percentage of CPU time. The symptoms you describe indicate that Flash consumes 5% of the CPU, which is totally reasonable. I'm guessing that I don't have the complete story.

Mail has high cpu use

I have searched the discussions and tried all the suggestions and am not having any luck decreasing the cpu use of mail. As soon as I open the program it starts increasing the cpu usage until it hits high 80's. I eventually have to quit just to quiet down the computer due to increase in fan noise.
I have trashed the preference file. Rebuilt all the mailboxes. Emptied the trash. Run disk utility.
I can not think of any reason for this to just have started happening. I have not done any new installs. Does any one have any suggestions?
Thanks...Lenny

So...what does this mean?
It means there is something about your user account that is the cause of your CPU usage for Mail, not Mail itself. Did you install any software just before this started happening? If so what was it, specifically? Try this to see if it makes any difference:
Quit all applications and use Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions. Ignore any messages about SUID or ACL; it means nothing. Quit when it's done. Next, go to ~/Library/Caches/Mail and delete the contents of that folder, then use Get Info to Lock the folder.
Also, if you have any Bundles installed for Mail at ~/Library/Mail, disable them and then restart Mail to see if the problem continues.

Using JSONscriptRequest for cross domain calls?

Hi,
Looking through the REST SDK I see mention of the "JSONscriptRequest class" but I don't find much else about it.
Is this a jsonp callback and how can it be used?
Thanks

Hi Willem,
I've never heard of this "JSONscriptRequest class", but as far as I know, the REST SDK doesn't support JSONP callbacks or JSONP in general.
For cross domain request, you'll find CORS settings on your WebApplicationContainer Server settings page in the CMC, but I'm not sure how / if they work.
Hope that helps.

ITunes 11.0.4 - high CPU use

Hello,
since I upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.4. and iTunes to 11.0.4 a couple of days ago, iTunes keeps fooling around using up to 130% of my CPU (how is that even possible?!) when playing music. As soon as I pause the music, the CPU-use goes back to >1%. Before the upgrades I had a big library with over 170GB of music (no only a few albums) and no problems using iTunes whatsoever.
I run a mid-2010 13" MBP with OSX 10.8.4, 2,4 GhZ Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB of RAM.
Thanks in advance!

Yessss! i' ve finally found the issue !
The problem was with "smart play lists" i dunno how you call it in english, but i' ve created a long time ago a smart playlist named "unread" because the "all random" function is not so much random for me, as they play some tracks more often than others...
With as criteria " numbers of play = 0 " so one title is played one time!
By using my brain as good as i can, i told myself " what itunes do when a song ends and then go to the next?"
It wrote something on the smart play list or something like that
Then test from "play all random" = no more issue !
Then deleted my smart play list and recreate one identical = problem solved !
norbml : i hope this help you
