How to stop programs running in backroune, how to stop programs running in backround

My mac book pro is running slowly.  I was told it was because of programs running in backround.  How do I stop them.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • How to overlap Sounds and added Backround music?

    Hi,
    I want to know if it is possible to add to a movie (that already has it's own recorded background sound) a background music and on top of that, in several locations, to add sound effects without stopping, or interfering, with the music.
    I really think it should be possible but I can't see how to do it. I really need your help on this subject...
    Thanks a lot!

  • Error in sequence jobs run in backround

    Hi All,
    I am getting problem while submitting the bacground in sequence.
    i need to execute the jobs in loop.
    i have put the logic
    loop at (no. of jobs)
    CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
      EXPORTING
        jobname                  = l_f_jobname
       SDLSTRTDT               = l_r_tbtcjob-strtdate

      STRTIMMED                         = 'X'
    but by this the status of job is not changed to finished . my concern is how to pass every time startdate and time in perform as the firts execute the start date is sy-datum
    thanks

    Do not fill SDLSTRTDT and SDLSTRTTM in the JOB_OPEN call (see documentation), rather in the JOB_CLOSE call, and do not fill STRTIMMED in the JOB_CLOSE call, because you either want to start immediately or at a predefined date/time.

  • How do you run depreciation for a Particular range of assets??

    Dear Gurus,
    Assets is a fairly new area for me – I have created several new ASSETS in one of our company codes.
    I have now been asked to RUN DEPRECIATION.
    Please can you kindly let me know (Step by Step Instructions) on How to Run Depreciation for an Asset via a particular co-code?
    Your help is much appreciated.
    Thanks
    RICK

    Hi,
    If you have completed all depreciation related configs,
    then, you can use T Code AFAB, there, give the following parameters,
    Company code, Fiscal year, posting period, click on the planned depreciation run, and give the range of main / sub asset numbers in the bottom parameters for test run.
    And execute, it will post the depreciation if it is not posting, then it will give you the error log.
    While running actual run, it is advised to run in backround.
    Hope it clears you doubt.
    Regards
    A.Saravanan.

  • Release BDC in SM35 in background, How to set defaul company code?

    Hi There,
        I came across one problem of BDC session release in background.
        Currently my session always fails due to the company code not correct.
        How can I change the default company code in background?
        Thanks!

    Hi Brad Bohn,
        Sorry for the late reply.
        Currently, I want to retire multi asset using transaction code ABAVN and ABAON.
        I want to run the BDC session in background, hence even I can pupup a dialog to input company code, I can not choose to do so because BDC session can not run in background if there is pup up dialog to fill in field. For example, if you upload data from local PC, you should choose the path, and there is a dialog pup up to let you choose the path, then in this case you can not run in backround.
    Instead, I use bellowing code to set default company code.   
    SET PARAMETER ID 'BUK' FIELD p_bukrs.
    But the problem is, above setting can only influence foreground. I have 4 test for background BDC.
    Assum there are 2 company code A and B.
    Currenly our system default company code is A. ( I don't know why, it was A).
    I run a BDC session which belongs to A, then I change the global parameter, to let SET PARAMETER ID 'BUK' FIELD p_bukrs.
    to 2 cases: the company code set to A and the company code set to B. In those 2 cases, in background, the BDC always success.
    I have another test, I run one BDC which should run in company code B. I also change the SET PARAMETER ID 'BUK' FIELD p_bukrs to be A or to be B. In those 2 cases, in bacground, the BDC always fail.
    My question is, how to change the default company from A to B?
    Thanks!

  • How do I set background color of cell using JTable?

    Hello all!
    I have a question on the use of JTables. I am using a JDialog consisting of a JTable and a number of buttons to insert and to select OK or cancel. Everything is working perfectly, but I now must add editing capabilities to prevent invalid data being used in a SQL query to update or insert rows.
    So far I can't figure out how to get at a cell to set the background to red if the user inputs a Date incorrectly. Upon setValueAt(), I take this value and check for standard format errors. I hope to someday convert the column altogether to a Data object (or some form since Date is deprecated):-) For the time being, I know when an error occurs, but don't have the foggiest idea how to render the error (set backround to red).
    I need to give you more info too, since the way we do things is to make it as complicated as possible for job security and to impress the newbies(or scare them back to COBOL). When I setValueAt(), I have a DefaultDataElement object that houses everything for a given column in DB2. It has column name, length, data type, is it new, original value, current value, etc. If one doesn't exist, then I create one. After all said and done, I parse thru these elements and build my update/insert query and then execute the query.
    The event starts as soon as the user presses the OK button. But, if a date cell contains an invalid date, I need to halt processing (which I've done) and somehow let the user know which cell was invalid. We consider our users dumb (they really aren't, but the assumption is made), so I can't just say "error occurred in table. Verify data and try again". That won't work:-) Gotta be able to show them what cell is bad.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    I finally figured it out. I was always close, but it wasn't until late yesterday that the light bulb came on. I was setting the background on the component in getTableCellEditorComponent() by grabbing the super.getTableCellEditorComponent(). The problem was all this was located in an editor, not renderer. So what happened was as I edited the cell the check would be performed then, not as focus was lost. When focus was lost, the red background went back to normal.
    I ripped the code out and made a custom renderer and got closer. Problem was the whole column had a red background. Even specifying the row and column in getTableCellRendererComponent didn't apply just to that cell. That row and column is only for obtaining the data in the cell, but anything affecting the component will affect the column, since I added the renderer to my TableColumn:-) I need to add error logic to my model and when an error occurs, set a boolean flag in a 2 dimensional array where the row and column is used to get to it from the renderer.
    Thanks for the help!!!

  • How to clear the message coming on bottom of page at output.

    Hi ,

  • PSE 11 not running in Windows 8?

    Greetings,
    I installed PSE11 on Windows 8 machine and it ran fine once. Now it launches and I see it starting then dissapears. I think it is running in backround as i see it in task manager. I ran the compatability trouble shooter and used the recommended settings but problem persists. Also tried running as adminestrator and still same problem. The auto uploader runs fine as well but then I cant see organizer. I had the same issues with PSE10 but that ran fine on this same machine for a month. My problems started when i left PSE10 running and let the computer sleep, hybernate and eventually shut down. Ever since then PSE 10 and now PSE 11 wont run or runs in backround and I cant see them. I have unistalled and re-installed bioth to no avail. Do I need to do a PC recovery?

    Try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icons and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.
    Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    N.B. navigate to Program Files on 32 bit systems.

  • Creating a package such that its postinstall script runs as a non-root user

    The pkgmap(4) man page I have (says "Last change: 30 Apr 1999"; from SUNWman 42.6,REV=6.1) says of the owner and group fields in a pkgmap entry line:
    "This field is not used for linked files or non-installable files. It is used optionally with a package information file. If used, it indicates with what [owner/group] an installation script will be executed."
    The pkgmap file I get after running pkgmk on my prototype file contains a line like
        1 i postinstall 292 23672 1166416139for the postinstall script. The man page quote above suggests that if I want the script to be run with user and group fred/staff (say), I can hand-edit this line to instead be
        1 i postinstall fred staff 292 23672 1166416139However, pkgadd doesn't like this, complaining and failing thus:
        pkgadd: ERROR: bad entry read in pkgmap
            pathname=postinstall
            problem=extra tokens on input line
        pkgadd: ERROR: unable to process pkgmapFurthermore, there doesn't seem to be anything I can put in my prototype file to get these fields into the generated pkgmap. The corresponding owner/group fields are syntax errors for a package information file in a prototype file.
    All this, and the wording in the Application Packaging Developer's Guide, suggest that the pkgmap man page is wrong and there isn't a way to specify a non-root user and group as which you want your package's install scripts to run.
    On the other hand, the pkgadd confirmation "This package contains scripts which will be executed with super-user permission during the process of installing this package. / Do you want to continue with the installation of <PCBBserv> [y,n,?]" suggests that there might be some way to make a package such that it contains scripts which will be executed with ordinary user permissions, and thus not warrant a confirmation.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    John

    Yes, rc.local itself would hang, but if you background the process inside rc.local using the '&' symbol at the end of the command, then that command will be backgrounded and rc.local can continue.

    In regards to News Group users.
    The news server was the very first thing set up almost decade
    ago by macromedia
    for all their products as user-to-user support. Web based
    forum is a very new
    addition and it's not properly synchronized. Many of use
    remain using news server
    because it's much faster to load the messages, there are no
    pages to flip through,
    all the topic and replies follow by the order they appear and
    generally, it's much
    faster to search the forum than using the web based interface
    and lots and
    lots more pros in using that. Not all users however have the
    access to news servers
    so the web based forum is to allow anyone to get help when
    comes to Adobe/Macromedia
    tools.
    If you run programs like Outlook or Thunderbird (like myself
    here) for you emails, you
    can easily add/access the news server by setting up new
    Newsgroup Account.
    The server is forums.macromedia.com , once you there you can
    get list of all the other
    servers and subscribe to any one you need.
