High idling CPU usage

Hi,
Got my Macbook a couple of weeks ago, and I'm loving it.
However, a couple of days ago the CPU usage when idling has gone right up to an average of about 60% per core.
I can't think of any configuration changes I have made that would have affected this, and Activity Monitor doesn't show any processess using more than about 2% (showing all processes), however the overall CPU usage meter in Activity Monitor shows about 45% CPU usage for user processes. It's causing heat issues and chewing up my battery.
Any ideas?

Apparently this is being caused by Windows File Sharing. Try turning it off and see if it's any better.
PS Thanks to Natsus for pointing this out in another thread.

  • High Idle CPU Usage... Can it be remedied?

    Hey everyone, I'm having a bit of an issue with my Power Mac... I checked my CPU usage through Terminal's "top" utility, and found that my CPU is currently running anywhere from 75 - 90% at "idle". Now, I've been told that's not something that I want to have going on with the Power Mac. Any suggestions on how to get that percentage down?
    I used the Applejack utility, as was suggested in another Discussion forum here on the site, but that didn't do the trick.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Well, before today, like you, I assumed that an "idle" CPU was exactly that; a CPU that just wasn't being used. But then, after reading up on some articles that were posted online in both the Apple Discussion Forums as well as places like MacFixIt, I started going on this wild chase to figure out what was up. Turns out that I misread the articles; the problems they had were not the "idle" percentage, but rather, the "user" percentage when their computers were idle. (Slaps hand on forehead)
    That's what happens when you act on a whim on a tech FAQ article at 6 AM, before having your morning coffee, lol.
    I guess I jumped on it because I'm getting a little paranoid about the number of pageouts I'm getting at the moment, and I'm trying to do everything I can outside of adding more RAM. Over the course of a few days, the "top" utility registers anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 pageouts, which I know for a fact is a bad sign. On top of that, there are times that I just have one or two programs open, and over the course of a day or two, the amount of Memory I have free drops from over 1.5 GB, down to about 128 MB. (Programs are usually Safari and iTunes)
    I know that's gotta be an issue, right?
    And, to "the hatter," no, I'm not running Google Desktop. I DO have a boatload of Dashboard Widgets, though. (But not actively running at the same time)
    Once again, thanks for your help!

  • High system CPU usage only recoverable by rebooting

    Hi,
    I'm having this problem since I started using my new iMac 27'. Before that I was using the same version of OSX (10.6.1) in the MacbookPro without this issue.
    So it's being hard to reproduce the problem, but suddenly there is a spike in CPU usage from System Processes (on average 40-50% if "% System" in the Activity Monitor), but strangely when I choose to show only system processes, there's no process that is actually using that amount of CPU. And the system gets REALLY slow.
    While trying to reproduce the problem, I rebooted and started iTunes. And it happened. Even after closing iTunes the high "ghost" CPU usage gets really high and never recovers unless I reboot.
    Is anyone else having similar issues?

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    Don't limit it to System Processes. There's often too much interaction between user and system processes. Choose either +All Processes+ or +Active Processes.+
    You probably want to select +View > Update Frequency > Less Often+ from the menubar, too, both so you can read the screen and so Activity Monitor itself won't take up too much CPU. Then sort the list by the +% CPU+ column so the largest numbers are on top.
    Watch it for a while. Many processes will "spike" up and down normally, as they do something, then go idle.
    And the system gets REALLY slow.
    That's when you need to see what the top one or two processes are.
    If you see +Process Names+ you don't recognize, post them here or consult http://triviaware.com/macprocess/all

  • HIGH IDLE CPU 95%+ WHILE NOTHING IS USING OVER 5% HELP!!!!

    Macbook Pro Mid 2012
    noticed my fan keeps coming on while preforming simple tasks, i've looked over forums and nothing seems
    explain why my cpu idle usage is so low when my activity manager shows nothing using over 5%
    can any body help me solve this problem.

    Francis1992,
    I would recomend trying an SMC reset, if your fans are running when you're not performing any intensive tasks. As for a high idle, that is normal. The idle percentage is how much CPU is available for your machine to use, so a high idle is actually a good thing! Check out this article for more info on how you can read activity monitor. Are you running Mavericks?

    Hi,
    As Jay already said, you can try the latest UWC patches (since you didn't tell us what you are currently running its hard to say if this will help) and if that doesn't work then get Sun PS to help you out (performance tuning is outside the support contract scope).
    Performance tuning of your system is way beyond this forum. Given that this appears to be system 4 though (based on the the hostname) I would say that is this system is the only one with the problem there must be something different in either the load on the system, configuration of the system etc. that would explain the difference.
    It's up to you to find out what the difference is.
    Regards,
    Shane.

  • High Rogger CPU Usage

    I'm a newbie and was just wondering whether anyone has had similar issues in the past with high CPU usage on the Roggers?
    This seems to be sitting somewhere around the 91% used mark, critical at some points, and 87% at other times.

  • High Dock CPU usage

    I have an iMac which was acting very sluggish. The Dock was varying between 5 and 35% cpu usage - even with nothing but the activity monitor running.Also, the Windfowserver process had very similar usage patterns. I booted up with a safe start, and there was no difference. I then created a new administrative user account, and the problem went away on that account. However, I still would like to resolve the problem, and not just abandon my old user name and transfer everything over, as there is no reason to think the problem will not re-surface on the new account. Any insights into what may be causing this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    That was a very interesting suggestion. I deleted both the plist and the DB file associated with the Dock, but there was no change in behavior when the default set was loaded by the OS.  I went back and forth between the two accounts to verify the behavior. On both accounts the Dock CPU usage cycles between a low CPU percentage and a high CPU percentage at about a 2 second interval. On the effected account the high usage varies between single and double digits, depending if the cursor is over the Dock. In the new account I get the same readings you do, with usage at 0.0, sometimes 0.3, but never breaking 1%.
    All of the CPU percentages I am relating to you occur with only the AM active. I also tried turning  AirPort off, without any impact, and hiding the Dock, which also didn't change things - that one was a surprise.
    I appreciate your insights. I don't know what else would be user specific that could cause this problem, and still welcome any suggestions or thoughts you may have.
    Thanks

  • High Kernel_task CPU usage when charging

    Hey,
    When I put my adapter in my macbook to charge i have a high cpu usage(500-650%).
    When I switch back to the battery then after 10sec - 30sec my kernel_task go back to normal 2%cpu usage.
    And then when I had 1 high CPU usage my Fans of my macbook won't turn off even if i have 2% cpu usage.
    I have a early 2011 macbook pro 15" with standard Lion installed AMD Radeon 6490M version.
    I tried the 2 resets and that didnt worked tried to reinstall worked for 1 week and then it came back.
    I hope somebody can help me.

    Changing the mother board is the best way to go for the simple reason that the Mac laptops are a very integrated system. Swapping out components on the motherboard would take very skilled people and they get paid large amounts of money. Apple technicians cannot do the job. Swapping out the MB is the most cost effective way.
    For Apple, that motherboard is very inexpensive. The labor to swap it as a complete unit is by far the cheapest way for Apple rather than diagnosing and swapping out individual components. If you have ever done any surface mount component replacement this would not be hard to see.

  • High SQL cpu usage?

    Just for clarification, you are talking about the alerts caused by VeeamOne, not Veeam Backup & Replication, correct?

    So I started getting warnings from Veeam about our SQL server's CPU usage. It got up to 100% at one point in the day and stayed there for 30 minutes or so.Our SQL Server specs are:4 CPU's @ 2.GHZ each I think.... 4 CPU's nonetheless.16 GB ramvirtualized on vsphere 5.1So I logged into the SQL server to see what was up (note that this has been happening for the past month or so, just hadn't had time to actually sit down and work on it, plus it didn't seem to effect the performance of our patient software too much which runs on SQL. Until this morning and it was very sluggish.)I noticed that the SQL server processes were running at 50% or more sometimes. I caught a screen shot of it when it was on it's way down. How can I trouble shoot something like this and figure out what in the hell is causing it to spike? I am not a master at SQL so...

  • Hanging programs, high Finder CPU usage

    Since early October 2012, programs such as Firefox, Thunderbird and TextEdit have been repeatedly hanging (Not Responding) for a few minutes at a time. Also, Finder CPU usage sometimes surges to 80% even 100% (via Activity Monitor), but not necessarily at the same time. Wondering if these are related. Running OS 10.6.8 (with latest updates) on early 2008 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo.
    Is anyone else having these problems? Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hi JB,
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • CS5 idle cpu usage

    Yesterday I did a mass update: 10.6.7 and subsequent updates, latest Indesign and Photoshop, etc. and all was fine. Today I noticed Indesign was sitting there taking 17-20% cpu while idle so I restarted. Now Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator are all sitting there taking 13-20% cpu idle right after restarting and no documents open.
    I was using the last free version of FontExplorer, so I disabled that and restarted, but it has made no difference. I've repaired permissions and verified the disk too. I then cleared the font caches which fixed Indesign for one restart, but after another restart it is back.
    I set up Suitecase Fusion and it supposedly disabled any previous remaining font managment software, but the 3 CS5 apps are still going at it. Now I'm thinking of having to reinstall the OS back to 10.6.6.

    All these threads, tons of other users with the same problem, similar threads on other forums. Please, any solutions? How do you get Apple to hear something like this?

    Changing the mother board is the best way to go for the simple reason that the Mac laptops are a very integrated system. Swapping out components on the motherboard would take very skilled people and they get paid large amounts of money. Apple technicians cannot do the job. Swapping out the MB is the most cost effective way.
    For Apple, that motherboard is very inexpensive. The labor to swap it as a complete unit is by far the cheapest way for Apple rather than diagnosing and swapping out individual components. If you have ever done any surface mount component replacement this would not be hard to see.
