ITunes 10.6.3 hogs CPU time
I'll notice the system bogging down...and find that iTunes is use 80% or more of my CPU time in Activity Monitor. This did not happen with 10.6.1. Tips/tricks/suggestions would be appreciated.
I'll notice the system bogging down...and find that iTunes is use 80% or more of my CPU time in Activity Monitor.
There's a couple of different things that can hit folks in this way.
Doublechecking ... are you getting this when iTunes is in the mini player mode? Or in the main player?

SystemUIServer hogs CPU time-with details
Like so many others, I am finding that SystemUIServer is often consuming between 90% and 100% of a CPU. I have tried various of the solutions offered in other threads, to no avail. And I believe I have more details than I have seen posted yet. First, the elementaries:
Mid-2007 iMac, 24", 4 GB, clean install of 10.8 followed by restoration of user files from a Time Machine backup, then followed by deletion of a great many $HOME/Library/Preferences files (and a reboot) to try to eliminate system slowness.
I have no Login Items. The right-hand menu bar initially contained the icons for
Time Machine
Bluetooth
Volume control
Date & Time
Fast User Switching
Spotlight
Notifications
I turned off Date & Time and restarted SystemUIServer. The problem was not solved.
I turned Date & Time back on, and turned off the Time Machine icon display, and restarted SystemUIServer. The problem was not solved.
When CPU consumption is high, ps shows
$ ps axguw | egrep CPU\|UIS | grep -v grep
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND
matt 288 95.5 2.0 2640848 83564 ?? R Wed06PM 1291:43.28 /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemUIServer.app/Contents/MacOS/SystemUIServer
And after killing the process and letting it restart, it looks like this
$ ps axguw | egrep CPU\|UIS | grep -v grep
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND
matt 9025 0.0 0.5 2580992 20772 ?? S 11:27AM 0:01.86 /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemUIServer.app/Contents/MacOS/SystemUIServer
While it was in a state of high CPU consumption I looked at it with dtruss. The output was very repetetive and included a lot of open, close. open, fstat64, read, close cycles on two files:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/System/Library/Frameworks/SystemConfiguration.framework/Resources/English.lproj /NetworkInterface.strings
There were also a lot of geteuid() and a couple of interesting ioctl() calls. It looks like they were on an fd which is an unbound UDP socket, and they were request 0xC02869C9, which works out to _IOWR('i', 201, struct whoozis), where a struct whoozis is 40 bytes long. I'm not sure what this IOCTL is but maybe part of the 802.11 API?
When I do dtruss on SystemUIServer when it is not consuming a lot of CPU, I see a lot more kevent() and
workq_kernreturn(). There were just a few of those when the process was running hard, but they dominate the dtruss output during normal times.
Here is a chunk of the abnormal-state dtruss output.

Windowserver suddenly hogs cpu with Lightroom and Photoshop
I recently upgraded these software packages to 64bit and upgraded NIK plugins for each to the 64bit versions. Since then I've had problems with PS freezing while making adjustments using a NIK plugin (doesn't appear to be plug-in specific). Looking at the Activity Monitor I see windowserver up to 90+ cpu usage. Sometimes if I just wait it will recover, sometimes I have to shut everything down.
Anyone seeing this problem while using this software and if so have you found a remedy? This never happened while using the 32bit versions of all these packages.My understanding is that windowserver is an OS X application independent of software used. My question is whether others have seen windowserver start hogging CPU time while this specific software was being used and any Mac remedies that solve the issue. It's not an Adobe question.

ITunes uses lots of CPU time when idle
When iTunes is just sitting there with my Music Library displayed, Activity Monitor shows it's using a pretty consistent 22-25% of CPU time. I look at Activity Monitor once in a while and I've never noticed this before. I don't know if it started when I upgraded to iTunes 7.4.2 or not. Other Macs I have access to use close to 0%. I have repaired permissions, checked the hard drive, and waved the other dead chickens over it without any change. Obviously this soaks up a lot of machine resources. Any clues or ideas would be welcome.
SteveNever mind, I figured it out by myself. On this particular machine I had a 3rd party plug-in installed (SRS iWow 1.1.8). Removing that brought the CPU usage down to 0.1%. Usually I don't install 3rd party add-ons. This would seem to be a good policy.

Itunes 7.6.2 running really slow and hogging CPU
Hi, every time I use itunes and skip to the next song it will begin to lag and then the color wheel will show. In the activity monitor itunes will use about 100%+ CPU and another process called Kernel_task will go berserk and use 500%. I have about 20,000 songs (150 GB) but this should not be a problem because I am using a Mac Pro 2x2.8 GHZ quad-core with 2 GB of RAM. This issue has only been recent and if anyone knows a solution that would great. thanks. I am also running coversutra and Last.FM if that makes a difference.
I'm also having the same problem. 100% CPU usage, and unresponsive. I thought it was the result of a hard drive migration I just did, but seeing that the same problem has come up for others so recently makes me think it's something else.
Right now I really can't use itunes. Changing songs causes it to hang, as well as any other operation. Was working perfectly yesterday. I really don't get this. I''ve done permission checks, disk checks, uninstalled last.fm...Nothing helps. -
Kernel task is hogging lots of threads and CPU time
My Mavericks Quad Macbook Pro is getting pretty slow these days and at some point I'll have to reinstall everything I think. However I can't start that for a while as I have important projects on the go. I looked in Activity Monitor first and I can see a kernel task constantly running with no indication of what it is doing. So I opened Console and looked at the Diagnostic log. I can see a lot of lines referring to com.apple.message. Hundreds of identical lines actually. I did not have Messages running so I opened it, and sure enough that showed up in console live. However the log shows a slightly different app and a totally different UUID, which seems odd.
Anybody understand what this is all about? See below. I opened one of the endlessly repeating items plus one that I know is from the Messages app below it.

So when you ask the operating system to do something, like read/write a disk, do network I/O, talk to your mouse/trackpad, keyboard, monitor, etc... kernel_task is the code that is going to do that at the lowest levels.
Also if you have installed any 3rd party drivers (kernel extensions), they are going to become part of kernel_task and the CPU time they use will be part of kernel_task.
If you have anti-malware, Mac cleaner or memory cleaner software installed, many of these packages install drivers that then try to out-guess the kernel_task and often result in slowing down the system, interfering with the normal operation of the system, or causing kernel panics. These kinds of packages are not recommended by long term forum contributors.
Please provide the output from EtreCheck, which will show the 3rd party additions you have installed.

Apple mobile device service uses too much cpu time
Apple mobile device service uses too much cpu time, from 88% to 99% of the CPU time.
The best way to fix this is to completely remove all aspects of iTunes then reinstall. Step by step directions are on this article. Good luck

Itunes 7.01. 100% CPU usage workaround
I've discovered that, like a lot of users 7.01 is gobbling up CPU time when its running causing everything to go slowly or even grinding to a halt not matter if it's downloading, synching etc.....
However..... if you minimise itunes to the task bar the CPU time drops....in my case from 100% to around 6% max !!!!!
I never had this with ver 6 which I recently reverted back to but thought I'd give it (7.01) a try after a clean re-install of XP (alas no) and I'll soon be re-reverting to ver 6 again
Self built Athlon 64 3400+ Nvidia 6800T 2gb mem 250 gb SATA Windows XP Pro 5th Gen 60gb BlackThis may sound like the oddest thing I've ever heard, but it actually is true that "minimized iTunes" behaves in a far better way than "maximized iTunes" - and I'll never be able to understand why.
In my case, it was with synching iPod with iTunes: minimized iTunes takes about 4 minutes, maximized iTunes takes more than 1 hour!!
Go figure!!! -
i am communicating with java programme through data socket but labview creates problem
You might try putting a 50 msec delay somewhere in your program loop to give the CPU time to perform other tasks. With no delays in a LabVIEW program, it *will* hog all the CPU time.

Compressor eating CPU time...after quitting
I've been running Compressor lately for some DVD projects. I set up a batch to encode, but quit after about half the video files were encoded to work on some other things. Performance was pretty darn sluggish. I checked Activity Monitor, and lo and behold, compressord and qmasterd were still running and gobbling up CPU time. I force quit both of them, only to see them crop up again a few seconds later. WHAT? A force quit should absolutely terminate the process, no questions asked. I don't want Compressor running in the background, which is why I quit it and Batch Monitor in the first place. This is not a feature, this is a problem, and an inexcusable one at that. Anyone know how to get rid of this crap without a restart?
In addition, Compressor will not let any part of my computer sleep while running. The display on my iMac wont even dim, much go into standby. I can understand why it wouldn't let the computer or hard drive sleep, but the display? Come on! I sleep in the same room as this computer, so it's kind of an annoyance when I want to encode a batch overnight.Heya Noble,
Basically, your computer's still compressing.
Compressor is the application that allows you to prepare your transcoding and/or encoding.
Once you "submit" the process, Compressor is done.
Qmaster takes over to transcode or encode the file as submitted by Compressor.
Batch Monitor merely allows you to view what's happening until Qmaster is done.
If you force quit Qmaster, then you'll never have a transcoded movie or encoded MPEG2 clip.
Your machine will probably compress 10 minutes of DV-NTSC source to the MPEG2 60 minute high quality setting in about 7 to 8 minutes. So, if you were encoding an hour of footage, you would have to allow Qmaster about 48 minutes to work. HDV source takes much, much longer. If this seems like "forever", then consider this: a G4/400 takes four hours to encode 10 minutes of DV-NTSC source to MPEG2. At that rate, an hour of footage would take a full day to encode.
Most importantly, these numbers are based on not using the computer for anything while it's transcoding and/or encoding. Even surfing the web will increase the time it takes to process the file or files that you've submitted.
If you are frequently submitting jobs to Qmaster, then you might consider getting a second computer so that you can work on one system while the other one encodes. It's not uncommon to have a dedicated box just for encoding. In general, the faster the processor(s), the faster the render.
If you are submitting jobs that are hours in length, then you might look into distributed network encoding that's now available with Compressor (more processors = more speed).
If your budget doesn't allow for another machine, you'll want to plan for using your computer at a "lesser" performance level or not using it at all until the job is completed.
You should be able to put the display to sleep, but not the computer nor the hard drive.
If you're having trouble with this, perhaps a piece of cardboard set in front of the display may block enough light such that you can sleep. You could also cover the computer with a box, just be sure to provide adequate ventilation. Be careful not to cover the computer with a blanket as it's sure to overheat and you won't be running Compressor at all.
Of course, if you don't want to put anything in front of the computer: launch Final Cut Pro, make the Viewer window active while a Slug is open, choose View > Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Main. Then press command F12 to enable it. Your screen will go entirely black! Press escape to return to disable it. Leave iTunes open while playing some soft tunes and you should be counting sheep in no time.
Hope this helps,
Warren

Mobiledeviceservice.exe hogs CPU
mobiledeviceservice.exe hogs CPU. It takes 98 to 99 % of resources. Trying to upgrade the operating system to 5.0 but its been hung up in the back up process for 4 hours.
I have a single core laptop it won't work eats 99% of cpu, it's the mobile device service. I couldn't update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS5.
Also I can't access iTunes to get my contact list or music from iTunes with my new iPhone 4S because I have to update to iTunes 10.5 to do that or buy a quard core laptop.
I do have two quard core PC's on in shop and one in bits, but my laptop was always my backup, maybe I need a new laptop but can't afford one atm. -
MDNS responder hogging CPU when connected to network
Hi all.
It seems whenever I'm connected to my work's network (either via wired or wireless) my mDNSResponder service starts hogging CPU. It generally starts at 0 and works its way up to 70-80% total CPU usage. I can kill it but within a few seconds it starts back up again.
Any idea what the problem is or how to fix it? This has never been a problem in the past, and as far as I'm aware there have been no changes to the network.
Thanks!My first psychic guess would be a messed up .cache, but...
mDNSResponder (also known as mdnsd on some systems) is a daemon invoked at boot time to implement Multicast DNS and DNS Service Discovery.
mDNSResponder listens UDP port 5353 for Multicast DNS Query packets.
When it receives a query for which it knows an answer, mDNSResponder issues the appropriate Multicast DNS Reply packet.
mDNSResponder also performs Multicast DNS Queries on behalf of client processes, and maintains a cache of the replies.
mDNSResponder has no user-specifiable command-line argument, and users should not run mDNSResponder manually.
To examine mDNSResponder's internal state, for debugging and disagnostic purposes, send it a SIGINFO signal, and it will then dump a snapshot summary of its internal state to /var/log/system.log, e.g.
sudo killall -INFO mDNSResponder
Also, not sure if this applies to OSX or not...

ITunes video & audio skips all the time, boggs down entire OS
Hey folks, I've been having serious problems with iTunes, but I can't find any solutions on this discussion board.
It seems every time I play audio or video through iTunes, it skips. It skips on every song and nearly every video. The video file size or format doesn't seem to matter, but if I make the video full screen the problem gets worse.
Whenever this skipping happens I get the infamous spinning beach ball and the operating system takes a while to respond. I'm running iStat Menus, and when these skips happen I see no spikes in memory usage, CPU, or hard drive activity. There's also nothing wierd going on in the Activity Monitor.
I've tried disabling third-party plugins in iTunes and QuickTime. I've tried resetting user preferences. I even tried re-installing Leopard twice - once with an archive-and-install and once from the OSX combo update found here on the Apple site.
I also have two other problems that may be related, since they started happening around the same time the skipping did. Flash video on the web such as YouTube skips, and every time I quit iTunes, I get the "Saving iTunes Library" box for a long time - no too long, but long enough for the iMac shutdown process to time out.
These problems all started happening after I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. It's strange because none of these problems appear on my Macbook, which shipped with Leopard.
If anyone can help me solve this problem, or even tell me what in the world iTunes is doing to slow down everything, I would be very grateful.I don't think it has to do with ram. iTunes ran perfectly fine under Tiger, and there are no spikes in memory usage when iTunes is running, even if other applications are open at the same time.

Console.app hogs CPU while looking at console log
On my PowerBook G4 Console.app hogs the CPU when looking at the console log, but not at other logs. When switching to looking at the console log, this message is displayed:
Console[31127]: Error: failed to register for new message notifications (status code = 1000000)
Of course, the process number 31127 is not always the same. After this message appears, the app uses 60 to 70% of CPU time. Switching to another log, say system.log, CPU usage goes back down to % or less.
Of course the work-around is not to be looking at the console log. I would like to fix whatever is malfunctioning. BTW, an iMac G5, also running Leopard, does not exhibit this quirk.
TIA, Harald P.I have this same issue ... on a Mac Pro 8 core box ... Console.app takes about 80% of a CPU while looking at 'All Messages', and the same console error is in the console:
"failed to register for new message notification"
Anyone have a solution for this? -
Firefox is a very busy piece of software. It's using large amounts of CPU time and disk access. It puts my usage at low priority, so I have to wait for some time to be able to use my pointer or keyboard. I don't know what it uses all that CPU and disk access time for, but it's of no use to me. It often takes off with massive use of resources when I'm not doing anything, and I may not have use of my pointer for several minutes. How can I shut down most of this so I can use the browser to get my work done. I just want to use the web site access part of the software, and drop all the extra. I don't want Firefox to be able to recover after a crash. I just want to browse with a minimum of interference from Firefox. I would think that this is the most commonly asked question.
Firefox consumes a lot of CPU resources
