High system(kernel) usage all the time! but windows runs normal

My 2013 MBA has a very high system usage all the time, and its very slow, and fan starts working at high speed at startup..
I did a clean install of both Mavericks and Mountain lion, and still got the same problem..
Also I'm using boot camp (windows 8.1) and it runs normal!!! I'm only having this trouble using OSX
Note: I had a liquid spill on it.

Please post the EtreCheck output
<https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6174>
You might also want to run Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor and see if there is a process or processes that are running with high CPU loads.
The fans generally run fast and loud when the CPU is generating a lot of heat, and that generally only happens when apps are pushing the CPU to high percentages.
You could also look in the Applications -> Utilities -> Console for log entries that are frequently repeating, which might indicate a process that keeps failing and restarting again and again and ...

Kernel panics all the time - what is the reason?

during the past few month (must be 3 or 4) I've get kernel panics all the time. there are no specimen programs open. sometimes I've get the kernel right after the start. it is very frustrating because apple couldn't help me so I hope someone know what these panic log means (these are only the three last one):

I have had the same issue since I got my Powerbook (1.5GHz). I'll tell you what I have tried, but it looks like Apple is going to just have to either replace the logic board or the whole computer itself.
Since the very beginning I suspected the graphics card. I really don't know how to decipher the panic.log, but I see NVDA and Graphics repeated a lot in the log. Regardless, I tried every troubleshoot out there, but nothing worked. I reset PRAM, did both hardware tests, fixed permissions, I even erased my hard drive and reinstalled both from the install disk, then from a different OS 10.4 disk. I did an archive and install, a journaled erase, and a complete erase of my hard drive. I even reset the Airport card. I called Apple care and they basically wanted me to do the same things I had already done, so I just took it into the Apple store for repairs. The company they contract their work out to (Flextronics International) did not do any extensive diagnostics, they simply replaced a flex cable between the hard drive and the logic board. I got it back and within a week the kernel panics started again. I took it back in and this time they (Flextronics) reset the Airport card, which made absolutley no sense. I know a loose Airport card causes kernel panics, but by this point they should have done much much more than that. I have been struggling with this for over a month and Apple wants to try one more repair before replacing the computer. It has been extremely frustrating dealing with Apple technical support and customer relations. I haved been extremely patient with them, but at this point I just feel like they have wasted too much of my time on this issue that could have been resolved if they contracted their work out to competant companies.
So like I said. Good luck on getting it fixed. You may be having a different problem, but I tried all the troubleshooting that is recomended to consumers and more, yet my Powerbook is still getting kernel panics. At this point I am just trying to get Apple to fix the problem once and for all. And I think that will involve a new logic board or a new computer.

When you said you have no fax machines on your line, that does include computers directly connected to the phone line?
The reason that I ask is a computer with a dial-up modem (a non broadband modem) that can connect to your phone line, can have software that makes the computer act as a fax machine.

HT1296 I have lots of apps that I don't necessarily want on my iphone all the time, but I don't want to delete them from my itunes account permanently. Is there a way to add apps manually?

Is there a way to manually manage apps? I have lots of apps that I don't want on my iphone all the time, but I don't want to delete them from my itunes account permanently.

Deleting apps on your phone does not remove them from your account. They can be re-downloaded for free from the App Store, or synced from your computer as needed.
The easiest way to manage apps is to connect to iTunes on your computer, go to the Apps page of your device in iTunes, select which apps to remove, then sync.

Phone makes "morse code" sound when in use, not all the time but quite frequently. The sound does not come from the speakers, infact it comes from the comments inside the phone.

When in use my phone makes a quiet buzzing noise coming not from the speakers but the actual phone. It does not do it all the time but it is quite frequent, my phone is an iPhone 5. Please can you tell me what the problem is?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it evaluated by the techs there. This is not normal and is probably not something that a user can fix.

I use podcasts all the time but downloaded my first books from the istore this morning. how do I get them to my ipod?

I use podcasts all the time but downloaded my first books from the istore this morning, I can't get them synced onto my ipod. What am I doing wrong?

the audiobooks I purchased show up in itunes under books and under purchased items but i cannot make them sync to my ipod. I followed your directions but it did not help. I have drag and dropped to a playlist which shows up on itunes but not on my ipod even after repeated syncs. when I try to drag and drop to the books or audiobooks in the itunes list it gives me the NO symbol.

Because GPS has nothing to do with WiFi, cellular signals, or data of any sort. GPS is implemented by signals sent by satellites that are received by GPS receivers. The receivers process the information from the GPS satellites and calculate your location. GPS never sends data anywhere; GPS functionality is receive only.
If you have WiFi or cellular data turned on this can improve the accuracy of GPS, because the GPS receiver can then use the known location of cell towers and WiFi networks to refine the GPS location. GPS by itself has an accuracy of 10 meters, or about 34 feet. Using the additional information from WiFi and cellular data this can be brought down to 3 meters (10 feet). This mode is called Augmented GPS, or A-GPS.

Mic is too sensitive, calls constantly cut out. People tell me y loud, and it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. Any background noise, and call is completely cutting out. This occurs all the time, but more so using earphones with in cord mic.

I have iphone5 ios6 and the Mic is too sensitive, and calls constantly cut in and out. People tell me there is loud background noise and it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel. Any background noise, and call completely cuts in and out and sounds as if call is dropping. This occurs all the time, but more noticeable while using earphones with in cord mic. I never had this problem with my old iphone4. Has anyone experienced this, and is there a setting that can correct this problem?

Same problem for me. So bad in fact that I can't really use my headphones for calls. I have tried it with several sets of headphones. My primary are the Bang and Olufsen headphones which were great with the previous iphone 4 and 3.
Apple please address this issue.

GE60 ONC - HDD scratching all the time but HDD usage near 0%!

Hello to all!
I recently bought an MSI GE60 ONC.
I started the computer by running Windows 8 OEM. Then my nightmare began.
1/ Waited almost 2 hours to DL Windows Update (60 upgrades found)
2/ Extremely HIGH HDD usage was encountered 100% when using WU...
3/ After all updates where done HDD usage at 0% down to 100% so I tought the problem was solved.
4/ Now when starting my computer the HDD usage seems ok BUT my HDD is still scratching all the time as if he was working... I'm sitting on the desktop doing nothing but the HDD is always working.
And now I heard a litle weird noise every 5 min.
Refreshing Windows 8 with F3 DONE

Help!
PS: Sorry if my english is weird it is not my first language.

how much system RAM you got?
and yes HDDs are not much fastern and they N1 units which slow down systems.

Kernel Panics all the time. Anyone else?

Ever since i updated my Macbook to Mavericks, my Apple experience has been a nightmare. In the last months:
I've been getting the Aw, Snap! page every fifteen minutes or so in Chrome. I've tried disabling extensions, signing out, downloading the anti-virus and even deleting and reinstalling the application.
Programs crash and become unresponsive all the time.
Kernel_task is really high on memory
My computer restarts at least twice a day, and I get the white screen with black lettering in all the languages. (Kernel Panics)
I've tried to identify what's causing the problem, and most of the apps crash on the com.apple.main-thread
Any fix on this? I'm getting quite neurotic.
Thanks!

Hi, thanks!
I've tried all of your suggestions. It keeps crashing.
Here's the panic log.

MBP Running at 98% CPU Usage All the Time

I'm not sure exactly when this first started, but now whenever I'm in Mac OS X a process called "Socket" running under "root" is constantly using ~98% of my dual-core CPU (out of a possible 200%). This prevents my computer from sleeping and it's obviously using a lot more energy all the time. I can shut the process down and the computer will relax for a while, but it's only a matter of time before it starts again. Any ideas on the matter? The help is greatly appreciated.

The process name is "socket". Is the user cupsd? Check for a print job stuck in the queue.
CUPS stands for Common UNIX Printing System; the cupsd process is the main print engine for OS X.
Run Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility, select your HDD and click Repair Permissions.
You might also try trashing your printing preference files (user/library/preferences folder, .plist files with names that start with com.apple.print).
Hope this helps...
Ps: There's a nice printing repair utility (shareware) out there:

Hi , i have problems with my Adobe Flash , the system has crashed all the time . I have the latest version and i have still problems . Please help me .

I am trying play games on Facebook and i see all the time the message : The adobe flash plugin has crashed .

Hi,
Blue screens usually indicate Windows system level problems involving device drivers like graphics card drivers, hardware errors (RAM, hard drive) etc. Malware may also cause this. Searching for the displayed error code would usually provide helpful pointers. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us Windows forum] would also be helpful.

3g on all the time but use only wifi

I would like to know, how to setup 3g on ipad in a way that the 3g will be on all the time, (for purpose of using it as a gps locator), but use only wifi for data.
I have 10euro prepaid card and I would like to use it for emergency, I do not want to have pushed email while I'm driving ..etc.
How to set it up?

Having 3G on or activated shouldn't be necessarily for GPS - some people have the 3G iPad for its GPS capability and never activate 3G on it

F1 Key seems to be constantly pressed all the time but it is not the key

My Envy DV7 was getting too hot so I decided to open it up and clean the fan myself ( After I cleaned the fan, It was very difficult for me to close it back, because the keyboard on this Pc is attached to the whole top so I had to take it to a laptop shop, so they can close it for me) When I finally got to close it the F1 key seemed to be pressed all the time when it is actually not, the thing is that it only happens when it first boots up after a while the laptop works just fine.

It should only scan when you select the AirPort drop down menu. Anytime you do this it is going to scan for wireless networks in case you want to connect to one that has come online or gone offline since the last scan. That doesn't mean it is always scanning, it just means it is scanning anytime you use the drop down menu. This is normal.

High system(kernel) usage all the time! but windows runs normal
