I'm experiencing issue with MacBook's performance. Kernel Task is using 612 MB of RAM.

Hi Apple Users,
I am new to this kind of forum/support thread. I am experiencing poor performance on my MacBook Pro. One thing I noticed is the kernel task is eating up too much ram. I have no idea how to fix this. Please share your expertise or past experiences in dealing with kind of problem. I would greatly appreciate for any inputs on this kind of issue.
I have some details that I think might help since I read several threads related to my issue.

  • HT204291 Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing

    Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing from the control menu as well as in Spotify.  It is as if airplay is not runing.  A temp fix: Reboot of the ipad mini (Home button+standby) Is there anything permanent?
    I have verified that my iPad mini and apple TV is up to date.
    Airplay enabled, the network is connected with internet.
    It is as if, airplay is a service that just stopped working and has to be restarted again via a reboot.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    The following article(s) may help you.

  • Is anyone else having an issue with the iPad not charging if you use it while it's plugged into a power source?  Now that I'm on iOS 7, I either charge or use... Not both.

    Here are the screenshots for what it's worth.
    Not sure why I can't post them in the original post.<br>

    '''Again, when I set my DNS server to automatically detect the servers both problems disappear and I have no issues at all.'''
    IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
    I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.
    '''Again I have changed the setting for DNS servers back and forth several times to duplicate/verify the issue(s)... and the issues only happen with the opendns servers.'''

  • After several repairs, still having heating issue with MacBook Pro (mid '09)

    EDIT: this post got removed the first time for not being constructive enough. I've now edited the post.
    This is going to be a lengthy post, so bear with me.
    2 months ago, I suddenly noticed my MacBook Pro (medio 2009, 15", 4GB RAM, GeForce 9400M) heating up a lot harder than usual. I'm familiar with the heating issues these laptops have, but this wasn't normal. Looking at iStat Pro, I saw my fans almost taking off like an airplane at 5700 rpm, while watching only a livestream on my browser. I know Shockwave Flash takes up quite a chunk of your CPU, but I had never encountered this problem beforehand.
    The biggest problem wasn't just the heat or the fans, but the fact that my computer also started reacting rather slowly. Sometimes I'd even get beachballed, or the whole browser stopped responding for half a minute...
    So I tried to see if gaming was still an option. Of course not. I had been playing League of Legends for several months without any issues. Whilst playing, I'd kick up my fans manually to about 4000 rpm, and they'd stay there throughout the whole game. Now, when I start up the game, it plays smoothly for the first 2 minutes. After the temperatures rise to a critical level, the fans start spinning up to 5700 rpm, and the whole game plays like a powerpoint presentation.
    On a sidenote: it sort of 'lags' every 1-2 seconds, and sometimes, after a long period, the game acts somewhat normal again (20 mins). This game uses wine to run, which isn't the most optimal way. So I tried playing Team Fortress 2, too. Probably even worse results! (but again noticeable 1-2 second interval lags)
    Before anyone starts screaming: "Don't use your Mac for gaming!" etc., I wish to point out that these two games had been running perfectly for the past few months/years. Something's definitely wrong.
    After looking for some solutions myself, I decided to go to an authorized Apple Service in my city. A few days later, they told me my logic board was broken, and I had to pay almost 700 euros ($ 900-1000) to replace it. So I did. I got it back, but it wasn't fixed. Brought it back in. Got it back a week later: "Your new logic board we got from Apple was already broken, but we hadn't noticed. We put a new one in it. It's fixed." Again, same problem.
    We're almost 2 months later and 700 euros poorer, still no result. I've brought it in about 6-7 times now, here's a list of what they've tried so far:
    - In total 3 new logic boards
    - New MagSafe (because they discovered it was giving too much power too my laptop)
    - Fresh re-install
    - Replaced RAM
    - Checked fans etc. (they do this by default)
    - A few tests which proved that it was repaired (but I have my doubts with these tests...)
    They told me now that it's fixed, and they basically won't look into it anymore. I must contact Apple myself, if I wasn't satisfied. The tests they performed showed no signs of heating issues. (One of the tests was playing 4 1080p movies at the same time. When I watch a 1080p movie on Youtube, my laptop is taking off like a plane) They ran a stress test all night long, showing no temperatures above 98°C. I got it up to 105°C in a few minutes according to iStat Pro.
    They advised me to install Mountain Lion, which would make the issues with "high-performance sites" go away. I haven't seen much improvement, though.
    This whole experience has been quite frustrating, especially now that I'm gonna need my laptop for University again. Isn't there anything I can do? I've paid almost 700 euros and missed my laptop for 2 months, without any results.
    I've got more information regarding the issues if needed, ask away. I'm getting desperate.
    I've been browsing around the support communites, and found that a lot of people are having issues since they upgraded to OS X Lion. Could this be the case? Should I try downgrading to Snow Leopard?
    I've also found a few topics on refreshing the cooling pasta on the heatsink. Would they have noticed any problems with this after replacing the Logic Board several times? Or should I check it myself? I'm not too keen on opening up my laptop myself...
    Nick.

    Thought of buying Parallels? Fusion?
    Might want to see if this gets moved to the MacBook Pro forum.
    I'd think Windows 8.1 is smart enough (what I use 90% time since the Dev Preview came out couple yrs ago it seems like) to find the driver.

  • Sound issues with MacBook Pro

    I am experiencing sound issues with my MacBook Pro. I am using a headset and when I am on a skype calsl I have a hard time hearing the other person, the sound is coming in and out and sounds digitized. This issue only started recently, the sound had been working fine for years before this issue.

  • Issues with Macbook Pro display.

    Hi. Recently, I haven't been having too much luck with Apple products. It started with my Macbook pro Core 2 duo 2.16. It had screen issues, leading to the screen being replaced (replacement screen contained several dead pixels), alongside a logic board, video card, and sound board replacement over the short life of the computer. Apple recently replaced it with a new 2.4 GHz Macbook Pro.
    When I first turned it on, only 3 bottom pads made contact with my desk at all, causing the computer to become lob-sided. I brought it to the Apple store and they brought it to their back room to fix it (I am not sure about what they did to it though). The fix was mostly successful and brought the computer "within spec"... Shortly after the fix, I got home and my monitor started acting up by displaying black vertical bars along my screen. The left side of my screen was also disconnected from the aluminum frame; both issues can be seen at http://gallery.mac.com/eliete#100037 . The odd thing is that the issue only comes up every other time I use the computer, and closing-opening the clamshell usually cures the problem temporarily. I discovered that whenever I take a picture in Photo-booth, the screen flash aggravates the problem, making the issue very obvious, and obtrusive.
    I do a lot of photography work with Aperture 2 and Photoshop Elements 6, and performance wise, the computer is fantastic, but what good is a fast computer with an awful screen? I do not want to switch back to the PC platform because the Mac OS is just that much better, and I rely on this computer for many everyday tasks. What do you think I should do? - I would rather not have the screen replaced due to the possibility of dead pixels (VERY irritating when editing photos), but it looks like that may be the only option. Do you think that I should wait until the WWDC to see what update the MBP will see, incase they replace my computer a second time? Thank You in advance.

    First thing I'd to is take it to the Apple Store, you can talk with them about this. I'm sorry you have been having so much trouble, while Macs are good in general there are some lemons. I bought my current MacBook Pro in August. Within a few weeks of buying it, there were a handful of dead pixels on the display as well as a couple of pale spots (bruises that the Apple store said was my fault). I got the display (the entire top 1/2...display, iSight, etc.) replaced over Labor Day weekend and haven't had a dead pixel or blemish since then. If you wait until WWDC, there are two things to consider: 1) you will have the problem for a few more weeks, and 2) replacements may be refurbished laptops and not necessarily a new laptop. Why bother? If I were you, I'd take it in ASAP and see what options I'm given. If the screen is repaired and dead pixels arise, the screen can be replaced again. What's worse, the possibility of dead pixels, or putting up with the bad display for another month (or two...Apple has a history of introducing things at MacWorld and WWDC that aren't available until the following month)? Hope I helped.

  • Microsoft Entourage 2004 issues with MacBook Pro's??

    Hi all,
    I only post this question, cause I have three macbook pro's at my company having the same issue, and all the other intel based macs, behaving fine.
    We have been experiencing very unstable behavior with Microsoft Entourage specifically on MacBook Pros. One users loses the ability to click on anything within Entourage, until he reboots his machine. Another couple of users ran into similar issue with not being able to open entourage without error messages. Is their something specifically in the Macbook Pros that cause Entourage to run bad in the Rosetta engine? My Black Macbook works fine with Office and so does our Intel iMacs. Any ideas why these issues revolve around Macbook Pros specifically? Any other users having problems?

  • Keyboard/Trackpad issues with MacBook Air (Late 2010)

    My wife used one of those clorox wipes on her MacBook Air and now she is having issues with the keyboard and trackpad. The option, command and shift keys do not work correctly and the trackpad thinks every click is a two finger "command click" (even though I turned off right clicking in the system preferences).
    Normally I would try a PRAM or SMC reset to fix it, but the buttons needed to start one (cmd + opt) aren't working.
    I plugged in an external USB keyboard and all the buttons work correctly.
    Any advice on how to get these issues resolved? Is it a hardware issue that needs to be addressed by a Genius? Is it possible a clean install of OS X could fix the issue?
    The computer hasn't had any issues before this and there doesn't appear to be any battery swelling issues

    I made a Genius bar appointment for tomorrow. When I got home last night I took a look at it again (I have a hard time leaving broken things alone...) and for whatever reason, the keyboard started working perfectly again. I managed to boot into safe mode via terminal but the issue persisted. When I booted back into standard mode, the keyboard was working great. This morning when I woke up, it was not working agian, but after rebooting it, it has been working correctly for the last hour.
    At one point, I booted into Recovery and looked at the system.log. One error that caught my eye was:
    Keyboard Layouts: duplicate keyboard layout identifier -16900.
    Mar  7 05:54:10 localhost Unknown[355]: Keyboard Layouts: keyboard layout identifier -16900 has been replaced with -28674.
    Any idea what this is, or if it could be causing eratic behavior?
    The other odd thing is I cannot boot into any disgnostic modes using shortcut keys before booting. I'd like to reset PRAM, run AHT but none of those commands are working.
    I still have my appointment tomorrow, but I'm thinking it is not a hardware issue (with the keyboard at least) since it does work correctly some of the time.

  • Issue with MacBook Air and nouveau

    Hi.
    I've installed Arch Linux on MacBook Air with Nvidia 320M videocard. Proprietary nvidia driver does not work at all and nouveau has video artefacts (photo attached because screenshot pictures haven't any problems): horizontal noisy black lines and wrong colors on the left two thirds of screen.

    nvidiafb works fine, but it has no dri and has problems with suspend.
    How to resolve this problem with nouveau? Is it crtc-related or not? Playing with xrandr does not have any effect (except resolution change).

    I had an issue with my MBA seeing my HP printer and could find no good reason for the issue.  In the end I deleted the printers WiFi connection and then turned around and set it up on my WiFi network all over again.  My MBA now finds the printer every time.  Okay ...so I don't actually know why it didn't work the first time, but it does now.  Again, there was no apparent issue with either the HP printer or the MBA being connected to WiFi in the first place, but something different must have occurred in software/hardware the second time. 

  • Resolution issue with macbook pro 13 (late 2013) and dell u2711

    I have a Dell U2711 (native resolution 2560x1440) that I use without issue with a macbook pro late 2007 (running 10.10.x), various iMacs and Macbook air 2011 running 10.10. When I say without issue, the display works at its native resolution.
    Last week we got a MacBook Pro 13in, late 2013 model.
    If I connect this macbook via either thunderbolt connection to the u2711 using either DVI port on the dell, the maximum resolution that I can use is 1920x1080. I am using apple mini displayport to DVI adaptors (I have tried 2 different ones and 2 different DVI cables, with no improvement). Clicking option + scaled in sys prefs does not give the native resolution as an option.
    However, I just discovered that if I use a DVI to HDMI adaptor and I connect the macbook to the display I get the full native resolution without issue (2560x1440).
    I have zapped the pram, powered down the display etc etc etc and it made no difference.
    I would prefer to use the mini DIsplayPort to DVI adaptor rather than HDMI, any suggestions appreciated.
    TIA.

  • Is anyone experiencing issues with disappearing apps on iOS 7.0.2 on the 5S?

    Specifically, I'll download an app that I've had in the past (from iCloud) and it will tell me its downloading on the phone, but as soon as the download completes, the app disappears.  When I go into Settings -> General -> Usage and observe the list of installed apps, I will find the app that disappeared and notice that it has no name (null).  When I try to delete the app it tells me "Deleting "(null)" will also delete all of its documents & data".  What is causing these apps to get null names and not get installed properly? 
    Some of the apps I've experienced this with:
    Wordpress
    Strava (running app that claims to make use of the 5S M7 proc)
    iMovie
    iTap RDP (a non-apple RDP client - this, by the way, works fine on my iOS7.0.2 iPad with Retina display & Lightning connector (iPad 4??), but when I download it "from the cloud" on my phone, it downloads then disappears)
    Shazam
    I've also noticed that somehow my calculator has disappeared completely off my phone, doesn't exist in Control Center, nor does it show up when i use the new spotlight search.
    Any ideas????
    I also have tried rebooting the phone (holding down top button and home button until phone restarts) and have checked to make sure there are no app restrictions (according to what other posts said)
    Message was edited by: jam8272213

    I got sick of these apps disappearing and finally gave in to doing a full delete all content and settings from phone - then restored from an iCloud backup and it fixed the issue.  for now....
    Can I get 10 points for solving my own question?

  • Networking issues with MacBook Pro

    I have tried to find this issue on line and in the forums and couldn't   I have seen many people have similar issues using VPN connections or Citrix but nothing what I am seeing.  I have 3 MacBook Pros that connect fine to our company network.  They have the DNS settings from our DHCP server and I can see their leases and everything.  We can connect to network drives however we can't connect any of them to the company's intranet sites.  If we type in http://companysite  and hit enter both Safari and Firefox come back stating that they can't find the server companysite.  Not sure why it is looking for a server by the name of companysite when our DNS servers point to the servers that are hosting the sites. 
    If I type in the IP address of any company site then it works however using the name doesn't.  So it sounds like an issue with DNS but again the DNS servers are in the network settings and Windows machines have no issues with using the http://companysite instead of using http://IP Address.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

    OK, figured out that if I added my company's domain to the search domain list in Network Settings this would allow the MacBook to use http://companysite instead of the IP Address.  However now I need to figure out the authentication issue.  We use the end user's network credentials for access to the company intranet sites.  Using http://companysite I get access denied.  Using the IP address allows the end user to enter in their network credentials.

  • Audio Issues with MacBook Pro (Late 2008)

    I am seeing an occasional issue with my MacBook Pro (Late 2008). The Audio will go out... and instead you will just hear static-like clicking sounds when and audio even happens. For example... when you have the up/down volume notification on... and you change the audio volume.. you hear clicks. Or... when you open up a file that has audio.. you will hear the static-like click when the audio starts to try to play.
    The work around per-se is to completely shutdown and turn the notebook back on. A simple restart does not seem to fix it... it looks like the system needs to have a bit of energy drain first. Which... worries me that this is a hardware issue and not a driver issue.
    Wondering how many others are seeing this???

    I went to and Apple Support Center last week and I asked some questions about audio because my MBP was having troubles too. The tech told me audio issues are very frequent on these machines and sometimes you have to change a part of the soundcard. He also added you have to bring the MBP to a support center if you're having the problem several times - in my case I'm waiting the next "crash" since I had only 2 issues so far... If you're under warranty go for a check up and see if it really needs assistance. Goodbye
