IMac at 100% CPU after 10.5.8 update

The update to OS 10.5.8 appears to be running OK on my MB Pro, but not on an iMac I did a fresh install of OS 10.5 and then upgraded to 10.5.8 - the CPU is at 100% all the time!

What process is consuming all of the CPU resources? /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor. Without know what is consuming resources, it would be difficult to make a determination.

AddressBookManag 100% CPU after 10.5.8 update

After I installed I noticed that this process was consuming nearly 100% of CPU capacity.
Restarting and logging into a "clean" admin user did not show this but logging in under my own user showed the activity appearing after a few minutes.
Address Book is set to open at login and I use MobileMe with automatic syncing.
Turning off mobile me automatic synchronisation did not do anything however if I unplugged my ethernet cable (cutting off my network connection) the AddressBookManag stopped.
Setting it too manual stops it recurring but do a manual sync creates the problem again.
I am currently behind a corporate proxy however and the interaction between this and Mobileme I think this is the problem but I don't recall this occurring with 10.5.7. Essentially AddressBookManag should recognise it is failing to connect and not simply run wild will it fails to connect.
If I disconnect my macbook from the company network and use my iphone for internet tethering there is no problem.

Hi, Roger.
I've noticed this behaviour as well and it goes back to before 10.5.8. Generally it goes away after a bit. My guess is that AddressBookManager is actually busy doing some housekeeping.
You could try deleting ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book/ABPerson.index which should result in a rebuilding of the Address Book database the next time you search for an entry.

ReportCrash using over 100% cpu after opening photoshop cs6

Currently running Mavericks on my macbook pro & just started noticing a problem. I'm sure its been there for a while, judging by past performance of photoshop, but just now caught it in activity monitor.
After I launch photoshop CS6, AM automatically shows ReportCrash as using upwards of 100% cpu, which explains why my computer seems to be dying when i'm working in the program.
As far as I could get with this problem on my own is checking concole to see what might be causing the process to appear. Not sure how to fix the problem though, which is why I come to the forums seeking guidance!
thanks in advance for any help!

Same thing is happening to me. Seems like it started about a week ago, fan is running a whole lot now. I'm not saying it's the cause but the "top" utility shows /System/Library/CoreServices/ReportCrash running at 103% - 105%. Weird.
Changes: In the past 10 days Software Update delivered new versions of OS X 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5, and I installed and ran DiskAid 6.5.3 and evasi0n7-mac-1.0.7. Also, Chrome began to hang several times a day in the past week so I removed it and re-installed it, which seems to have solved that problem.
Anybody else hearing the fan a lot and seeing these 100%+ utilitizations lately?

Explorer.exe consuming 100% CPU after resuming from hibernation

Hello,
For the last months, I repeatedly have the problem that sometimes (every 2nd or 3rd time) after resuming from hibernation, in a few cases also after disconnecting from the Internet, one or more instances of explorer.exe are consuming 100% CPU, but never
the shell instance.
I tried figuring out what it was doing, but I was unsuccessful so far.

I you have any clue what might be going, I would be very happy to hear it. It's really annoying, as I have to kill explorer.exe and thereby close all my folder windows when this happens.
Thank you!
Best regards,
David Trapp

Hello,
thanks for having a look. However, I already ran SFC before posting on this forum (as part of my own investigation) and it came back clean. RescueTime (a time tracking tool) is probably not the culprit because it happened also several times in the past without
RescueTime being running (that was because I had accidentally removed it from autorun at that time).
Unfortunately, I can't follow your "invalid date" explanation. I don't think an "invalid date" is anywhere involved; in fact, the method in question is called "_TreeInvalidateItemInfo" and not "_TreeInvalidDateItemInfo"
(note that there is only one "d"), so I assume its job is just to invalidate (and in turn, refresh) the cached information about nodes in the left pane's folder tree of the explorer window(s) - since the folder tree is the only NamespaceTreeControl
(whose corresponding class name is CNscTree) in explorer folder view windows. As I see it, something is causing explorer to repeatedly refresh the folder tree data, but I am stuck at finding out what exactly.
Best regards,
David Trapp
EDIT: Disassembling ExplorerFrame!CNscTree::_TreeInvalidateItemInfo confirms that, because it seems to call TreeView_SetItem for a tree node and its parent (possibly with all fields set to *_CALLBACK), and CNscTree::_UpdateItemDisplayInfo
for the parent node.
EDIT2: I'd love to dig more into the trace, however I am hitting a wall at function names/addresses. Everywhere where I would expect a function name/address (such as the "by stack" views), I only see question marks instead. What
could be the reason?

100% CPU after connecting with RDP

Hi,
We have a W2K3 SP2 vmware guest server running in our network. It's a member server. It has only Lotus domino installed.
But since last week that after connecting via RDP (doesn't matter to connect to console or any session) or with vwware console that the server CPU peaks 100% and don't allow connecting nor working with it.
We have to force shutdown from ESXi host.
Does anybody know what could be the cause.
Thanks,

Hi,
You may need to use Task Manager, Resource Monitor or Process Explorer to check which process causes 100% CPU usage.
Thanks.

Dock uses 320% CPU after 10.7.2 update

   After upgrading to 10.7.2, and after some time suddenly Dock takes all the CPU and gets unresponsible. killall Dock on terminal does not seem to really kill the task, so I have to reboot to get it solved. After some time the problem repeats.
Console events are quite concerning:

Any idea on what can I do to solve it?

   I fixed permisions and checked volume from the restore partition and still the same issue again
Today I noticed that while with 320% cpu it's also eating RAM very quick, when I realized so it was consuming 3.5Gb and the VM size was 320Gb!!!
Other thing I noticed today is that every time I kill the Dock task it starts over, consuming the cpu from the begining (so whatever the problem persist). I closed all the applications but Mail and VMware fusion 4.0.2 and killed dock, and it started consuming cpu from the relaunch as before, but then I closed the former apps (and more precisely I'm suspecting about Fusion) and it stopped consuming CPU (after killing Dock again). Does it make sense?
I took a sample of the proccess just in case it's any expert on the board that can figure out what's going on:

FSEVENTSD using 90-100% CPU after updating to 10.6.4

My iMac, previously running fine, is now running very slow. After reading some things here and elsewhere, I tried shutting down Spotlight indexing using Terminal (don't recall exactly what I did). That did kill Spotlight but I am still having the problem. I also reinstalled Snow Leopard from my original retail disc and then did the combo update. Still no good. I bring up Activity Monitor and FSEVENTSD is constantly running at 90-100%. This has persisted for a few days now. FYI, I do have both Firewire and USB 2 drives connected. I did seem to notice that the problem may have started when I reconnected the Firewire drive after doing the reinstall. It may have been a coincidence though.
Please help. This is killing my productivity since even my mouse is running slow.

Compressor and qmaster taking 100% CPU after quit

I have compressor set up with qmaster on my 8-core 2008 Mac Pro. When my cluster decides to show up (it doesn't always, but that's a seperate issue) it works great. The encodeing processes take up almost 100% of the CPU and it really cuts down on the time.
he problem is, when it's done and I quit, the CPU usage jumps back up to 100% until I force quit the 8 "Qmaster Task Service" and 4 "compressord" processes in Activity Monitor. This is after it's done encoding, the processes have stopped and all the files are there. I quit compressor and CPU usage jumps up to 100% again for about 10 minutes, or until I force quit the processes I mentioned. Any ideas?

Actually, I don't. I've run a whole bunch of cluster tests in 3,5 and 4 under various conditions and no clues popped up in that testing. (Assume this only happens with clusters.)
What I'd suggest is restting background processing, running Compressor Repair (checking trash preferences) and repairing permissions. I know; it's a shotgun approach.
Let us know.

Version Mismatch for Kernel and CPU after 10.6.4 update

I had a kernel panic in both Mac Pro and MacBook Pro after a usually no-brainer software update OS X 10.6.4....I tried all of the shortcuts (zapping PRAM, booting from other drives, safemode, etc) and I get the dreaded gray screen and restart message immediately,,,what can I do short of purchasing a new board for each machine?
I did disk verification and repairs via target disk mode from a third laptop, but the pro macs never get past the grey screen in order to give me the chance to update! The screen text says:
"panic(cpu 0 caller 0x2x096e6) Version mismatch between Kernel and CPU PM"@/Source Cache/...
Debugger called: <panic>"
What can I do to GET PAST the "version mismatch" and "ned to restart" screen to be ABLE to update?

Just tried installing the 10.6.4 update on my iMac i5. It began the usual shutdown, and I was expecting the install to begin. That never happened. 10 minutes went by at least. I forced it to shut down, and now it won't boot. Same as the OP - "Version mis-match between Kernel and CPU PM"
There is no option to boot from anything else, either. The machine won't boot from an original install CD, or from an install image I keep on USB. I tried zapping PRAM, and resetting SMC. At this point, I consider it bricked. Fortunately, I have a reasonably recent TM backup.
Won't have time to take it in until Monday. Sure hope someone has some insight before then.

IMac unable to restart after downloading latest software update (including iTunes 11.2)

My system is a mid-2007 iMac (Intel) with latest software updates always promptly installed (OSX Mavericks, etc) and 320 GB internal HD, 4GB Ram.
Today the software updater informed me that an update to iTunes was available and so I allowed it to download the update and then restart the computer. The restart was not successful - the computer display will show the status window progressing as the update is installed and then nears completion, but will freeze at the apparant point of completion and the restart will not complete. I tried restarting several times and it always hangs up and does not complete.
I then ran the Disc Utilities program - first time I ran it, it identified disc problems with the internal HD and proceeded to repair them. Following that I trried to restartt and it ran into the same difficulties and did not restart. Subsequently I ran disc utilities and it reports the internal HD to be fine. I've also tried several times to boot the computer and restore from my Time Machine backups and it will not complete the restore. I do get to the screens where I can select the volume to restore from, the volume to restore to, and so forth. After these efforts were not successful, I finally tried to re-download OSX and do a clean system restore, it progressed nearly to completion and then aborted the system installation without completing.
Since having this problem I've therefore been unable to use the computer in Mac mode. I had just about concluded that my hard disc must be replaced, when I decided to see if I could restart running Windows (bootcamp), and I was able to do that successfully. The hard disc is therefore not damaged, or at least the partition of the hard disc used by Windows is not damaged.
Is my most likely option to replace the hard disc or is there something I can still do, in order to see if the hard disc can be restored using a saved backup, before I replace it?
I have the further complication of finding that the Apple store will not replace the hard disc for my computer because it is over 5 years old. I can probably locate a shop such as Best Buy locally who can do that, or I can simply purchase an external hard disc and use that as my primary hard disc until I either replace the internal hard disc or simply replace the computer. Since it is a 7 year old iMac, it would not be surprising to have to replace the hard disc after this length of time. I also see that there are instructions available online to explain how to replace the internal hard disc myself, but I'm unsure at this point whether or not I want to do it myself.

Lacking any responses to my initial post above, I will briefly update how I resolved this issue today.
Installed new external hard disc, 1 TB WD My Passport for Mac, and straightforward setup involving first installing current OS X operating system, then system migrator utility to rebuild the same setup as saved in latest Time Machine backup. The whole process was somewhat time consuming due to my internet connection speed and USB data transfer speeds but it went without any issues. The computer now boots up and operates identical in all respects to how it did before the problem occurred.
Regarding the internal HD of my iMac, if I now run Disc Utility to verify the disc, it reports "appears to be OK". However, viewing the disc usage in "About This Mac" window, it displays as entirely empty. Opening it in the finder also shows only a "Apple Hot News.mbox" file and a single .jpeg image, and .nothing else.
Interestingly, the Bootcamp partition of my iMac's internal HD continues to work fine and appears unaffected by the problem. I use bootcamp rarely but still will plan to set up a replacement bootcamp volume on the new hard disc soon, in order to take its place.
That the problem surfaced coincident with the software update may have been nothing more than bad luck? At this point I have no reason to suspect that the softward update had anything to do with the difficulties.

IMac will not boot after 10.10.2 update

Hello all, I could really use some help. I downloaded 10.10.2 from the app store on my iMac (previously upgraded to Yosemite through app store), and when the system restarted, I would see the white screen with the apple logo and the progress bar about a third of the way across. then the system would ether restart or hang. Here is what I have done so far.
1. I am unable to boot to recovery mode using 'command R'... nothing happens and it goes back to the apple logo and a progress bar that get to a third of the way and stops.
2. I am able to press 'option' during boot and get 3 options for loading (system, recovery, and a Yosemite install disk i made on a USB). selecting any of these options returns me to the apple logo and the progress bar that gets stuck at a one third complete.
3. I am able to select safe and verbose mode. the machine will sometimes get all the way to "system up time in milliseconds" before it reboots.
4. I am able to boot to single user mode. I have run '/sbin/fsck -fy' until it no longer displays 'modification have been made' and it displays 'volume appears to be ok" (takes 2 runs). from here i have tried both rebooting, and exiting, both result in the white screen with the apple logo and the progress bar getting to a third of the way.
5. i have tried clearing the NVRAM
6. I don't have another mac with firewire or thunderbolt to try targeted disk mode
7. i have had 1 success in getting to the log in screen using verbose mode. during the boot there was a whole screen of the same line repeated many times, it said "BUG in process suhelperdt[167]: over-released legacy external boost assertions (1 total, 1 external, 0 legacy-external). after i logged in it reported that the system has un-expectedly shutdown, and that it would send a report to apple (is this a kernel panic?). i hit yes and then show the details. then the system hung up, and rebooted. then hung up again during boot with the same "BUG" message above.
I've got good time machine backups, and don't mind doing a complete reload if i can ever get to that option.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a 27 inch imac (10,1 late 09) that was doing the same intermittently during 10.10.2. In a fit of frustration, I updated yesterday to 10.10.3 and now the computer is doing exactly as you describe. I cannot get past the white screen at all. I have booted into recovery, verified and fixed the drive even though it it checked out fine. and attempted a fresh download on a clean partition. nada... i can get into safe mode, and I tried installing the SMC fan control, switching off transparency, and lowering my resolution. none worked.
I was convinced my hard drive was dying (when I had 10.10.2), and replaced it last week with a SSD. The SSD ran great for about a week, then had the same problems. I never had a problem with 10.10.1 or prior. I have checked my ram, and that does not fix the problem (swapping all four into the front dime slots in sequence).
This computer has run great since 09, and I have never had any issues until now, but it is now a very expensive paperweight. I cannot do the internet recovery that sets up the original OS the machine shipped with (too old for that feature), and it will not let me download a previous version of OS X from the app store (I have mavericks, lion, etc there).
I think my apple love affair is officially over. Looks like i will be searching for a pre-yosimite computer to download a usb version of mavericks or lion, and I sure as **** am not buying another apple product in the near future! I was very close to pulling the trigger on a new macbook, sure glad I did not waste my money -again-.

A process named "discoveryd" takes up to 97% of my CPU after the last Yosemite update in April 2015

Hello,
"Discoveryd" process takes up to 97% of my CPU and when I force it to quit, it appears again after a while. I attached the screenshot of my activity monitor.
Appreciate your help.
