ITunes Maxes out processor

After downloading an iTunes plus song, my PC maxes out the processor while processing the file. The processing never completes and I have to reboot the computer. Is this a problem with certain PC's and this file type? My PC is about 5 years old.

Problem solved, apex pages using Automatic Row Processing and File Upload were causing the problem.  The developer manually wrote the pl/sql instead of the using Automatic Row Processing and problem solved.

  • Maxed Out Processor - Viewing Here, fans on.

    Apple definitely changed this forum to something my MBP doesn't like any more.
    This is a MacBookPro 09 - 13"  -  10.06 08  -  Proc - 2.53 / Core 2 Duo
    I just posted a fix for a problem I was having - and my Processor went off the chart and fans came on.
    When it settles down with no activity from me - all fine.
    If I scroll the page - wham - the processor pegs to top of dual meter I have in corner of screen from activity monitor.
    Wow - this is quite dramatic. I'm testing scroll right now - if I move the page 1/8" - processor goes 1/2 way - 50%.
    Not sure if this is a Java or Adobe thing - I've always wanted a program to point out what the actual background process IS that tortures a machine.
    I also have in next browser tabs, a forum I always use for motorcycle and there's no issue anywhere near this.
    So this is the edge & end of life for this gear?

    I was referring to this page as I paused any typing - any only scrolling the page slightly.
    The other web browser was actually on another window minimized out of view / misspoke as another tab.
    It's not clear what you are testing here.
    Have you got other tabs open? This page has no Flash so that really isn't in the equation for troubleshooting this page. Having tabs minimised does not make them stop processing on 10.6 IIRC. You have to close them to free the resources they use.
    You need to isolate what you are aiming to test. Flash has a habit of hammering on Macs so there is little that can be done aside from finding versions that behave better. Adobe's installers should only allow you to install the supported version. The requirements list 10.6 for version 14 of Flash (you have to click link to see full requirements). It looks like you have the latest installed.
    http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/flashplayer/tech-specs.html
    Have you got any Safari Extensions? If so…
         Have you tested with them disabled?
         Re-enable them one by one to see which one causes issues.
    Have you considered using the Click to Flash extension in Safari? It stops Flash auto loading which can make sites with Flash adverts usable. Retest the sites that give you issues… once again posting the links will give us the ability to test what is normal for us. You will need to click Flash videos to play them with Click to Flash.

    I just want some scan tool to do the process of what the heck is needed.

    It may help to know what else you have installed. Do you use any add on's that tweak the OS?

  • ITunes podcast update maxes out both cores on MBP 2.16

    On my new macBook Pro 2.16Ghz, there aren't too many normal operations that will run my cpu cores up to 100% each, but updating my podcasts in iTunes does it every time.
    Not even transcoding multiple h.264 video files gets my cpu above 50%. why is it that updating my podcast xml feeds in iTunes maxes out both cores? If it starts taking more than a few seconds to update, my fans kick in and start getting progressively louder until the update completes or I cancel the update. Has anyone one else experienced this? is this a flaw in the itunes binary?
    I have about 8 feeds that I'm subscribed to (diggnation, twit, eMacCast, dl.tv, etc).

    it only happens when a feed starts to take too long to update (5-10+ seconds). some feeds just kind of hang when its trying to update. it seems like its stuck in a loop or something like that.

  • Are there any known issues with the latest update to iTunes on Windows 7 maxing out the processor and nearly bringing the system to a hault.

    Has anyone experienced an issue with the latest update to iTunes (11.2.0.115) for Windows where iTunes pegs out the processor at 97%, 98%, and holds there for maybe 15 minutes before dropping to 50%. During that time, the system is basically useless. You just have to ride it out. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Hi OnceBeforeIDie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Take a look at the article below, it has some some tips that will resolve a performance issues like the one you described.

  • How do I get my iTunes (both purchased and cd's) into the cloud as I cannot use match my iMac and MacBook are too old to use the right OS and maxed out RAM memory upgrades, but have iPhone 4S and now 64gb iPad and libraries on desktops plus iPod!!

    So very excited bought iPad and new speakers today! Want to get all my music sorted as across iMac (G5), MacBook os 10.6 (maxed out ram and memory) and old iPod. Saw Match would be an option but can't use due to old OS so I can get the raw music library files but then what do I do to get all in one place? Any help appreciated.

    A good route would be to attach a USB drive to the macbook.  You can use the drive to assemble a copy of all of your music from your various devices.  iTunes on the macbook can be used to create a new library, located on the USB drive, into which you can import all of your music.
    Two major benefits:
    1.  From here you can run iTunes Match across your entire music collection; and
    2.  You will have created a full local backup of all of your music on the USB drive.
    Once complete you will be able to access the music from any iDevice capable of running iTunes Match,  Do remember as you add music it is important to maintain a local backup in order to keep your music safe.

  • Processor maxed out when starting RT application in development mode.

    When I go to run my RT application on my 8145RT board in development mode, one of my dual-core processors stays maxed out for 2 or 3 minutes.  I added a break-point at the very begining of the code to make sure it was not something related to the execution of my code.  This only happens if I make a change to the code and have to re-download it.
    I am using LabVIEW 2009.
    Any ideas?

    I know this behaviour and I think (but I'm not sure) its a bug which is allready reported. Right now I'm out of office and cannot access the DB to check the CARs number, but as soon as I'm back I will check and update you here.

  • Who has maxed out their space on their 160?  How much space can itunes store on a MacBook?  should I just shift "jazz" to a new iPod and keep rock on my current 160?  any suggestions?

    Who has maxed out their space on their 160?  How much space can itunes store on a MacBook?  should I just shift "jazz" to a new iPod and keep rock on my current 160?  any suggestions?

    I have not filled the iPod Classic 160 GB.  I have most of my music and a few movies for traveling on that one.  Before I bought it, I had a 20 GB that was always full.  Now, what I do is have rock music on a shuffle that I use for biking or running.  Audio Books are on an iPod Touch.  The 20 GB unit is no longer used (given away) and replaced with the 160 that holds just about everything else.
    The MacBook is limited by the size of the hard disk.  Many people with have their entire iTunes library on an external USB or Firewire hard drive and have iTunes map to that.  Remember that this is not truly a backup (if the library is only on one drive, it is not a backup, nor should the iPod/iPhone/iPad/etc. be considered a backup)
    If you have the means to have another device, I would agree that splitting your music by genre on each device is the way to go.  I've known people that sort their music on devices by artist, album, etc.  As long as you find a way that works for you.

  • Beginning of song play causes iTunes to max out CPU and rewrite library

    I'm experiencing a strange problem with iTunes for Windows. Whenever a song plays, about 5 seconds after it starts, the CPU maxes out for 20-30 seconds. This occurs either when the next song plays in a playlist, when I manually start a song, or if I've paused a song in the middle and start playing it again. I used a process monitoring program, and it's not the iTunes process that maxes out the CPU when this happens, but the system process, and when it happens it always shows that it's writing to three files, sequentially in this order (with the first two being written to twice):
    1) [iTunes Music Folder]/iTunes Music Library.xml
    2) [iTunes Music Folder]/Temp File
    3) [iTunes Music Folder]/iT.tmp
    4) [iTunes Music Folder]/iTunes Music Library.xml
    5) [iTunes Music Folder]/Temp File
    The "Temp File" has no extension. This is a really annoying problem; it's been happening for about two days, but I can't think of any associated system change. I'm running Windows XP SP 2 with iTunes 7.0.2.16. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    I do have a very large library--about 6000 songs. However, it's been that large for a long time, with no problems. It seems like it usually just updates the library when it closes. If it's been doing it on every song play before, it hasn't been taking 30 seconds, but something so small that it doesn't show up on my process monitor, which I'm constantly paying attention to.
    It doesn't seem like this is a hardware problem, but some setting or something that got changed to make it rewrite the entire library every time I edit it.
    I did check the Windows Event Viewer and couldn't find anything helpful.
    A couple other things that I've changed recently that could have an effect:
    1) Yesterday I set a bunch of songs to not come up on iTunes shuffle; before I hadn't used this setting.
    2) I attempted to make iTunes treat some mp3s as podcasts so that it would remember their play position. In the process of doing this, it decided that it wanted to re-download all of the back episodes of a particular podcast I subscribe to. I then figured out that you can set particular songs so it remembers their playback position, and instead just added those mp3s normally and set that option.
    I unset the "don't use this song when shuffling" option for all songs, and also deleted my subscription to that podcast, to see if those things would have any effect, but they haven't. It seems like the podcast thing has something to do with this, though, because I think the problem started around the time that I tried that. Any thoughts?

  • Why does my memory max out at 70% (using iStat) @ 2x1GB RAM 667mhz

    Hi,
    I'm using iStat as a monitoring service and I have 2x1gb RAM installed and a 2.4 core2duo processor. I run multiple programs at once (Firefox, Dropbox, MS Office, iTunes) and my memory hovers around 71% all the time (it gets sluggish around 70%). It never has gone up or past 74%. I figure it should max out around 100% right? I recently upgraded to 2x2gb or 667 memory. Will I still have the same problem of hitting a threshold? How do I get rid of this ceiling? Thanks!

    Hi bmose14,
    I'm not entirely sure how iStat Pro monitors RAM (I always use Activity Monitor for that) but I know Snow Leopard changed how RAM is monitored. Previously in Leopard if you had, for example, 2GB of total RAM it would show that as available and then just immediately allocate the RAM that's being addressed by the GPU. But in Snow Leopard, I find that I have 1.75GB of total RAM (as it doesn't calculate the 256MB of VRAM my shared GPU is allocated).
    I'm thinking you have the Intel GMA X3100 GPU (144MB of RAM) and as such that's being calculated here, in addition to the RAM being used by the programs and OS. With that being said, I don't think you can ever reach the 100% mark. I know I fired up iStat Pro on my machine (prior to responding) and I'm also hovering around ~80% despite Activity Monitor showing about the same as "green" in the pie chart.

  • Maxed out Mac Pro (nearly new) DEAD SLOW - why???

    *I have always been a PC guy (animation and film production is what I do -- www.speedbumpstudios.com) but I decided to bite the bullet and go Mac. I maxed out my Mac Pro-- if it's available, I got it. It's a 15,000 machine. Great. So I've had it for a few months and the thing is so dead slow I am finding it almost unusable. My three year old PC laptop kicks its butt. Here are the symptoms.*
    *Opening Photoshop takes anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes. Once it is open, if I try to open a file, it takes another couple of minutes for the finder to pop up so I can search for it.*
    *iTunes regularly hangs and/or takes several minutes to load. My iPod, which is also new, sometimes cannot even connect to it (error).*
    *HP scanning software takes minutes to open. Once the scan is ready to be saved, it takes minutes for finder to even offer the option to name the new file.*
    *Almost all the software on this thing starts up painfully slow.*
    *IMPORTANT: I have noticed that the machine runs almost all right immediately after a restart. The longer it runs, the worse these symptoms get.*
    *ALSO IMPORTANT: -- I had been running Boot Camp on the machine, allowing me to boot into Windows XP. Recently bought Parallels and ran that. While this Mac never ran great, the problems seemed to get markedly worse at that point. I have since, out of desperation, removed Parellels completely, but the problems persist.*
    *I am, of course, sick about how much I am paying for this machine that is supposed to be the best available and it about as useful as a boat anchor. WHAT SHOULD I DO!?*

    George, I feel your pain. I too have a maxed out Mac Pro;
    Mac Pro - 8 Core (Dual Quad-Core 3GHz)
    16GB RAM (Crucial Memory)
    4x 750GB Drives
    ATI 1900x Vid Card
    2x 30" Cinema Displays
    etc etc etc .... I even have a 2-port eSATA cables installed (OWC) with a 1.5TB external drive (Iomega, and fast as the dickens!)
    My machine has been in the Apple repair facilities THREE times so far (I am working with an executive relations person for 3 months now) and we are about to swap it out for a new machine because the term "ghosts in the machine" apply to many Mac Pros. In fact, the last time Apple fixed this machine was yesterday, replacing a bluetooth module, and as soon as I booted the machine it started having kernel panics (for the first time), we thought it was the RAM Riser cards being seated wrong... after making sure everything was seated properly, and doing a complete OS reinstall, it is still kernel panic-ing every hour (if I let the machine sit quietly)...so, there is a ghost in this machine that does not want to go away.
    To get your situation though, MY machine has ALWAYS been much slower than the dual-G5 I replaced last April. You are not alone here. This is an 8-Core machine, ran Tiger slow and is now running Leopard only about 20% faster, which is still slower than the G5. Makes me want to cry sometimes because I paid, what, $1300 for the processor upgrade alone?
    Something is wrong with your machine. I suppose you have already tried to reinstall, reformat your drives, correct permissions, etc and still found your machine wanting in the ways of speed, right? What you need to do is to contact Apple Executive Relations and tell them what is going on. Once they see that you ordered such an expensive machine (no one buys extra RAM from Apple so they will sympathize right there!) they WILL contact you and work with you until your problem is solved. The only reason they have not replaced MY machine yet (they will usually do so after the 2nd or 3rd repair attempt) is because in my case I cannot afford the downtime. Now, however, I think we have to because no one can figure out why this machine is having panics after sitting still for an hour.
    Anyway, be assured this is NOT representative of Apple or the Mac Pro speed. Mac Pro's are plenty fast, and unbelievably fast with newer, Intel-based software (CS3), and even though Leopard has many many bugs it is faster than Tiger. My partner has the same machine as I do and it is so fast I think it does most of his work before he even arrives in the morning.
    Work with Apple, let them fix your machine or replace it. They will.

  • After upgrading to 10.5.4, CPU keeps maxing out and system runs slower

    Hi there,
    I upgraded to 10.5.4 last week and quite frequently my CPU starts revving up and stays at a high level until I put my iMac to sleep. When I did my weekly reboot last Friday it seemed to not have the problem for a while, but then it came back again pretty quick. By checking Activity Monitor I found out that my resources are maxed out all the time, I've got about 80% CPU attached to Safari right now. Applications seem to load slower, everything runs a bit slower when it's like this.
    I found under System Preferences > Energy Saver that I had my Processor Performance set to Highest, so I switched that to Automatic, but I'm still having this problem.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Travis

    Thank you, Pondini, that's all I was really asking about in the 3 (4) previous messages. I wanted to know if I could download the combo updater and install it over top of the 10.5.4 version I downloaded through Software Update. Thanks for the confirmation. I did download it this morning after getting your post and have installed it.
    Initially, after installation and reboot of the combo update 10.5.4, my CPU maxed out again for a little while, and I checked Activity Monitor and it said a program called "Pattern ?" was hogging the CPU, the ? refers to a second word that I didn't write down at the time, I think it started with the letter M.
    I had my iMac turned off for a couple hours after that. When I turned it back on, I was ripping 4 CD's into iTunes and so it sounded like the CPU was running high again through that, but I think that's typical for when I'm ripping a CD. Anyhow, right now the CPU is running normal, about 20% of total cycles used and that Pattern ? whatever program has disappeared from the list. So maybe that was something that the Combo Updater 10.5.4 was using to fix a problem and it might be back to normal again.
    So, so far so good, thanks to the people here who have helped. I will post again if the problem persists.
    Also, Pondini, thanks for reminding me to check posts in the forum for information. I almost always do that initially, before I post my question. I did that this time, but I had no idea at the time that downloading the combo updater would be the solution as I was scanning the forum for people who had spiking CPU's, not any other type of problem. I suppose in hindsight, after finding that combo updater might be a possible solution to my problem I should have ended this thread and sought new information, posed a new question / post if necessary. But like you say, I would have found other posts about installing combo updater.

  • Movie storage maxed out

    My movie storage on my Ipad is maxed out. I tried to download Peter Pan for the kids but got prompted not enough storage. How do you remedy this?
    If I delete the other movies, can I download them at a latter date again from my past purchases? I already paid for them on Itunes is my concern and don't want to loose them. I am thinking that is the only solution.

    Conserve space on iPad
    You should download movies to iTune (computer) and only sync them to iPad as and when you want to watch them.
    After watching the movies, you can unsync the movie to make space for the next one.
