Jlaunch eating up all cpu

Hello,
after installation of EP6.0 SP9 on Linux SLES 8 there are approx. 350 jlaunch processes started. After a while the load of the machine (3 GHz P4, 2 GB Mem) grows from less than 1 to 4-6 and stays on that load. Paging is very low.
Starting a top shows a cpu consumption of 50% only for the top command. Is this a Linux issue ? AFAIK the thread handling which is used is not possible with UNIX, so there is a process created for each thread.
But why is top using 50% cpu just with showing the process list and why is the load growing so high ?
Kind regards,
Hinrich

Hinrich,
Did you apply the post installation JVM setting notes indicated on the install guide?
Regards,
James

Non interactive zlogin eats up all CPU on Solaris 10 u4

Hi,
We are having trouble with a zlogin command that is started via a script from inittab on a Solaris 10 u4 system.
When a zlogin command is started from the script this zlogin will within 10-15 seconds start spinning and consume 97-98% of the CPU. The zlogin command never ends, and the startup is stuck there.
Running a pstat during the zlogin shows the following picture:

Found the reason. The default scheduling class was set to RT. Probably explained why zlogin was allowed to eat up all CPU resources

Epsonstatusmonitor3 eating up all CPU resources

Since I habe an Intel Imac my Laserprinter (Epson ACL 1100) has a problem.
A program (Epsonstatusmonitor3) is started to check whether there is enough toner. So far as before.
However when the printing is finished this little app is not closed down and remains activer. Problem is that it consumes all available CPU power thereby disrupting things.
I already dl'ed the latest drivers from Epson (marked for Intel, was Universal) but this did not help.
Anyone similar problem or maybe a solution (besides removing the app)?

I had the same issue. As others have answered, syslogd is used for system logging.
It turns out a very large /var/log/asl.db (a primary log for syslogd) causes all manner of issues, notably, occasional syslogd cpu hoggage. In my case, I was getting repeated malloc errors from syslogd as well, compounding the issue. My asl.db was was 55Mb. After reading this blog post:
http://smartic.us/2007/11/8/leopard-100-cpu-usage-caused-by-syslogd-and-possibly -time-machine
I went on a hunt, and found, according to:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/syslogd. 8.html
The asl.db size is supposed to be limited to a default of 25600000 bytes. Mine was way bigger. Something was clearly amiss.
Reading further reveals this statement, in direct contradiction:
"...The maximum size of the database (in bytes) may be specified using the -db_max option. If messages must be removed to limit the database size, oldest messages are removed first. By default there is no database size limit."
It appears this statement is correct -- there is no database size limit -- theoretically anyway; practically, there clearly is, as evidenced by this and many similar threads around the net.
The fix is to edit /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist
and add the db_max arg:
<string>/usr/sbin/syslogd</string>
<string>-db_max 5000000</string>
add that second line.
Adjust the max to your taste. I limited mine to 5M bytes. After that, the nightly sweep should keep this problem from occurring again.
To activate the change, in terminal:
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist
sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist
or simply reboot.
It appears apple needs to bring back a sensible max size, as syslogd is clearly not capable of coping with anything too large.
HTH,

Has there been a fix for the dreaded kernel_task eating up all CPU problem yet???

Since I bought this pile of garbage in 2011 and went overseas I've been struggling with it. This kernel_task issue is completely insane and a lot of pepole experience it as well, so has Apple released a fix or has anyone figured out a proper way to get rid of it?

I have this same issue on my iMac after an upgrade. My girlfriend's iMac (same model) was unaffected. So the problem seems to affect random machines of all ages and types. I have a solution but not a fun one.
@ScottC75 : The CPU percentage shows what % of an individual core is being used. If you have a multi-core chip (which most Macs do) this can go above 100%
I've read *a lot* of forums on this kernel_task problem with people spouting quite a lot of rubbish.
I first tried everything listed on forums: reinstalling OS X, removing kexts (that apparently stop your computer from overheating), new RAM, tidying up the computer. None of it worked.
One guy said he took three trips to the Apple Store, having his MBP sent off each time; eventually they gave him a brand new MBP of the latest spec. That might be the option for you but I didn't want to be without my computer for that time.
Finally, I did a complete wipe of my Mac. If you boot using the backup partition, or using a USB with an OS X Install on it, the option to 'reinstall' or 'install a new OS X' does not wipe your computer. Once it has finished, you will have all your files and applications still. This did not fix my computer. Instead, you must use Disk Utility first to wipe you Macintosh HD partition and then install. Then you Mac acts like it's brand new. Only this fixed the problem. The massive downside is that I had to backup everything and reinstall all my apps.
This is a drastic measure, and you run the risk of forgetting to backup all the stuff you want. It did work though and was ultimately quicker than going to the Apple Store (even if I might have got a new computer out of it).
In summary, to fix this problem:
1. I backed up all my files onto an external hard drive!
2. I booted up to the recovery screen (Command + R or hold the option key at bootup)
2. In Disk Utility, I 'erased' my 'Macintosh HD' partition
4. Back on the main recovery screen, I chose to (Re)install OS X.

Adl.exe eating up 100% CPU (CS5, Windows)

Hi,
In Flash Professional CS5 on Windows 7 (64bit), whenever I test a movie (ctrl+enter) targeted at AIR, the adl.exe process starts eating up 100% of the cpu at intervals, that is:
- adl.exe eats up 100% of the cpu for several seconds
- then back to normal for several seconds
- then eats up 100% of the CPU again for several seconds
and so on.
I see it in the task manager that the process eating up all CPU is adl.exe; obviously the application being tested (and the whole computer) becomes almost unresponsive on CPU peaks.
If I publish the very same test app as an air package, install and run it, it runs fine, with near to 0% cpu consumption, which is normal.
The raise in CPU consumption does not coincide with anything significant happening, it seems just a random (though almost regular in intervals) oscillation, with no apparent cause.
My swf is not very cpu greedy, it is almost idle. I do ctrl+enter and then don't touch anything, just leave it running (which does almost nothing) and the CPU usage goes up and down. I repeat, this does NOT happen if I publish, install and run the AIR application without the ADL debug launcher.
Has anybody run into the same problem?
Is there any fix?
thanks
m.

Hi ,
Would you mind help me with following questions :
1. What is your AIR version? Could you please have a try on our latest AIR build(http://get.adobe.com/air/?promoid=BUIGQ)
2. In Which running mode you encounter this performance issue? In an IDE , or installing it? According to the prior post, matteosistisette met this issue when running it on Flash CS5 with ctrl+enter NOT by installing it after packaging it as an AIR file
3. I tried with winxp on some machines (such as; dell OPTIPLEX 760 and laptop thinkpad :T400) , using adl to launch it .
   Set it to the front application ,and do nothing, the cpu is 20% - 23%
   Minimize the application, and the cup is 0% – 2%
   Do some operations on the app , it is 30% - 70%
   So have you tried on other machines, such as : winxp on PC instead of na Imac, ,and what's the CPU usage? and relevant PC processor and memory info
4.A little confused about the following info you mentioned:
"I speak of the screen following
the name entry, once all transitions have finished and the puzzle has
exploded it's pieces and the main menu is simply sitting idle"
that the main menu sit idle is the expected result/designed by your app, right?
thanks

My Yosemite is eating up all my bandwidth

Hello,
I Installed Yosemite Yesterday (2 hours after the public release). I love it.
I kept my laptop on overnight to download some stuff and noticed it download just 15% (1.15GB) of my data (it would otherwise download at least 4GB). I thought it was my ISP problem so ignored it. But from today morning I noticed something called com.apple.geod is eating up all my bandwidth.
It stays on always. I tried force quitting it but it comes back up again. I restarted my Mac several times. I got a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013).
Is this some bug or something??? It's really annoying. My Safari, downloads, Radio and mostly 99% of my internet applications are getting messed up because of this.
I don't know if this might help but my Apple Maps and Maps (inside iMessage while my friend shared a location with me) does not open. I mean it opens but the Maps and stuff just shows those lines and does not load. It was perfect with Mavericks.
Help please?
Graham Miranda

Guide: How to solve Yosemite memory leaks and CPU usage
This is VERY useful. There is also some additional information on drivers in /Library/Launch Agents and /Launch Daemons that are causing memory leaks.
After two weeks and two different (brand new) MacBook Pros, Yosemite is finally behaving after following such guidance as above. Note: When com.apple.geod stops responding, I simply View...Send Signal...Hang Up and it clears the problem. Good luck!

Photobooth is eating 75% of cpu and the whole app drags...

I have trashed the plist etc,
and still nothing.
When I open the app it eats about 15% cpu according to activity monitor, but as soon as I select the effects button #1 , the cpu just goes to the ceiling.
I trashed the plist, I created a new user, and it acts the same way.
I do notice that it drags and slows down when i select the "#1" set of effects,
"#2" set of effects still work fine, and the app doesnt slow down or become unresponsice like it does when effects number 1 is chosen.
Interesting that I am on a G5 and there still hasn't been an official update for photobooth , but there has been for Intel users. So, I got two problems now with photobooth , the pop art effect is still broke, and now the app is becoming completely useless.
oh well...

"I trashed the plist, I created a new user, *and it acts the same way*."
It's possible somehow the app is corrupted and/or something is conflicting with it. A couple of things to try to weed out the problem.
*Except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices/peripherals from your computer.*
#1 - Repair disk/permissions from your Tiger System Install DVD.
#2 - Open Library>Startup items folder-the root level Library, not the one in your user name folder.
Look for potentially problematic 3rd party items such as virus scanning software components, etc. Remove 1 or more items to a location outside the Library folder, such as the Desktop, then restart normally & see if Photobooth is still hogging up the CPU. It it does, try removing all the items in the Startup items folder & restart. If all’s now well, place the items back into the Startup items folder 1 by 1, restarting each time you put one back. If and/or when the issue resurfaces, you just identified the faulty component.
If the above does not work, then it’s time to move on to.................
WARNING-This step can be tedious-removing .plist files from the /Library/Preferences folder.
Remove the entire Preferences folder from the Library folder on your startup drive then place the files back 1 by 1 until you see the problem return. *The Mac will automatically create a new Preferences folder in the Library folder*
Alternatively, you can take half of the items out (all non-Apple .plist file, for example), restart to see if Photobooth is still having issues, then move to a smaller set of items, repeating the process until the culprit is found.
Or you can use Preferential Treatment which is a FREE utility that does all the work for you.
#3 - Archive & Install
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270 Scroll down to "Archive and Install”
#4 - Re-install Photobooth. It should be in the Bundled Software folder in the Tiger System Install DVD.
====================
"the pop art effect is still broke,"
The only solution for your model iMac is to download the Russian fix. It works. I have it & now am a happy camper. The Russian cure will update Photobooth to v1.2.
http://www.firblitz.com/2006/12/10/photo-booth-broken
Regarding your comments:
+"This "little" russian fix, created a much more larger problem dealing with the software update program and how it distinguishes whether you have the current updates for your apple software.+
+So using the 1.2 russian update has made things worse for people with non-russian imacs."+
I hope you are aware that *not everyone* suffered from this +Russian glitch.+ If it happens to you, then I suggest that you search the web for a cure and/or contact Apple. Just make sure you repair permissions & restart after the installation if you decide to take the Russian route.
Good luck!

Kernel_task eating up my cpu

Hello, i have a mid-2009 MBP 2.26 GHz running lion. I've been having a problem with my kernel_task since about a month. Here's how it looks:
As you can see my kernel_task is eating up my cpu (over 80%) creating a very bad lag.
I've tried everything to fix it and nothing worked(resetting my pram and smc, reinstalling mac osx lion...).
Also, you might wanna note that when i run my MBP in safe mode kernel_task drops to less than 3% and my computer runs smoothly.
Any anwser would be apreciated, thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software – potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions – they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag – do not type – the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer – no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Please help, my Mini is eating up all my Ram & suffers from annoying bugs!

Hello
This is my first official post with a few problems as I just got my Mini and as I hear around the boards, there are a number of things wrong with the mini...
Here is my first problem :
My Mini seems to eat up a lot of ram and for some reason, when I quit all of my apps and leave only one or two open it does not go up... Instead it just sits there and if I try to open more apps, it falls dangerously low and I feel the computer is kind of suffering...
On restart it is doing just fine again.
Here are some examples (please click on links to see Activity Monitor images):
The case when it goes bad
http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/1645/ramconsumption6ba.jpg
And this is after restart or startup
http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/3280/ramconsumption25es.jpg
What is eating up all my ram? And why does it not bounce back to the free ram it should have? It is like the apps suddenly double in RAM consumption...
Second problem :
When I start up my mini, each and every time I have to remind the mini to connect to my Airport Express, I have to go to the menu and pull down the menu bar and that is all. I don't even have to select it, cause it does it by its self, but not until I remind it. This is a rather annoying part, I cannot make it understand that it should JUST connect to my Airport setting...
Are there any solutions for this?
Third Problem :
When I startup the mini, the sound is always set to default, meaning it comes through the speakers at half volume. I always set it to full, so that I can control my speakers instead of going both to the mac and my speakers to control my sound setting.
Does anyone have this problem? And how can I fix it?
Also,I can only hear the startup chime via the mini and not via my speakers. Is this a universal problem with the minis? If so I can live with it, though it is pretty annoying.
Fourth Problem :
As I am writing this topic in this forum, my keyboard is kind of slow, it is not reacting as fast as it should. It is set to fast in the preference pane and even the controls of going up and down on a page via the arrow keys don't seem to keep its beat. It does it once and I have to press it how ever many lines I want to go up, unlike before on my G5 I just press and hold the button and it will go as far as I let it before I let it go.
What is that all about?
Fifth Problem :
Though this is a small problem, I don't know if this could be major later. I tend to get digital distortion during my usage of Safari. Certain places, I visit I can see digital distortion. Like when I scroll on CNN.COM. It makes some strange lines and I cannot figure out what is wrong with it...
Now, the mini was once considered to be a cheap investment, but as I found out, I had to go a long way and very close to the price of an iMac to get my Mini to work. See I have an Apple Studio Displace 17 inch ADC. Now, to my surprise, as I was about to hook up my mini to my nice Apple screen (Only a generation old), I was in for a big shock... It was simply not compatible... Not one bit... Leaving me with the bitter taste of having to pay an additional $130 for an DVI to ADC converter. And that really made me angry.
But aside from that, I have to say, I am not certain that I want to keep this mini... I have 10 days, to decide if I want to keep it or not... I can get a full refund if I don't like it... And so far, I am not sure I like it as much as I thought I would...
Rosetta aside, I think it is pretty fast, in all the native Intel apps. So, we'll see if I can eliminate some of these problems and if I can, I will keep it, but I am not sure how many of these problems I am going to need fixed before I seriously want to keep it...
I am going from one problematic G5 Dual 1.8 Powermac to another problematic Apple computer... It can get a little too overwhelming...
So any help anyone can give me at this point, would be very much appreciated...
Dual : G5 1.8 Ghz, MacMini Core Duo, iPod, iPod Shuffle & mini Mac OS X (10.4.5) Was the mini the correct decision?

Hi PPC7410!!!
Wow, thank you so much for your post, I really appreciate you taking the time to set a few things straight for me...
And yes, you are right, the Apple Studio Display was bought with my G5 Dual 1.8. So I kind of didn't want to buy a new monitor.
The main reason why I bought the mini now was because I am saving up for a MacBook Pro. I am going mobile soon and need a good computer. But, I want to wait till Apple fixes all the small problems with the MacBook Pros and I hope to get one early next year. And that is where the mini comes into the picture. I need a computer I can have while I save up for the laptop. And while I can still get some decent money for the G5, I am going to sell it and use the money on the laptop. Once I get that, I will give the mini to my father who can use it to keep in touch with me and start his digital life...
But...
A little about why I went with the min in the first place...
I bought a Dual 1.8 G5 PowerMac not long ago, well when it came out. Since day one I had serious problems with it. It was so bad that Apple even sent me a replacement, but that only came back with other problems. The first one had a logic board defect, it just panicked almost all the time... (On each startup there was a good chance my monitor went blue and a lot of cryptic codes were written all over the screen. Even when I tried the hardware test DVD, it couldn't complete it because it went into panic mode and I had to pull the plug cause nothing responded on the G5.)
Ok, so I waited almost 3 weeks for the new one, while I was in the middle of a project (which died because of this), and I was really pulling hairs by this time. So the new Powermac arrived, and I had to return my faulty G5 to where I got it. I live on the 4th floor and no elevators. 2 weeks before I got my G5 my back went out, so I don't have to tell anyone who owns a G5 Powermac just how heavy it is. Perhaps out of the box it wouldn't be so back but the box was big enough to house a small family. The new ones are smaller I see.
Ok, the new one arrived, and it didn't panic or do the things that the other machine did. However it was birthed with entire new set of problems which started to show up a little bit at a time. These problems presented them selves in strange bottleneck results. Applications such as iTunes would suffer with a G5 Dual 1.8 powermac and 1GB of Ram. The specs were directly from Apple. I didn't add anything to it.
A friend of mine has a G4 400mhz and I am telling you, that sometimes, that machines does things FASTER than my G5 Dual 1.8Ghz. That blew my mind...
I have to be honest, the hammer fell hardest when I pre-ordered Apple's Aperture in hopes of really getting some kind of real harmony between my Mac and my Nikon D50. But alas, when I got it, tried to install it, it said it could NOT be installed on my machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yet the Apple seller, on the phone said, SUUUURREE it can, why couldn't it... I thought ; well yeah it is suppose to be the best and fastest mac out there, why would it have a problem with it? But I was wrong... and when I called them telling them that I couldn't install the app, they didn't want to cut me some slack. So I was stuck with Aperture 1.0... It looked good on the shelf, but that is all... It was a waste of money....
To be honest, I simply gave up at that time... I have just had so many problems with the G5 I have, that I wanted to downgrade to something that just did, the normal jobs of everyday work, such as surfing the web, emailing, occasional Photoshopping( With Adobe's press note telling us not to hold our breaths for any Uni-Photoshop this year, kind of feels like a kick in the teeth).
So, I didn't expect much from the mini. I know I couldn't do heavy work on it but all in all, speed wise, it is as fast as my G5 on a good day.
So aside from Rosetta, which is a real drag when you use it, it is a pretty good little machine... Just hope they will sort out these problems sooner than they did with so many other macs with ticks and bugs.
Again, thank you for answering my questions... I didn't quite understand the RAM thing, but you might be right, I just didn't encounter that on my G5...
Take care and have a great day!

How do i delete all the photos that are in that Photo app? it is eating up all my memory

how do i delete all the photos that are in that Photo app? it is eating up all my memory

Photos transferred from your computer are removed from the iPhone the same way they were transferred from your computer, via the iTunes sync process. To remove all such photos, deselect Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera followed by deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

MBP eating up all of my bandwidth

Hello, here is a little background info - these are the computers/devices involved
15" MBP unibody
13" MBP unibody
24" iMac
Xbox 360
My router is a Buffalo WHP 54 GS thats been flashed with Tomato.
My issue is that the 13" MBP eats up ALL of my bandwidth when my wife surfs the internet with it.
Anytime I'm playing on xbox live - as soon as my wife fires up a browser (both safari and/or firefox) , my ping increases drastically - from around 20-50ms to over 300ms. Which kills my session.
This only happens when the 13" is going. I did some tests - had all the macs on in the house and my bandwidth is getting crushed, as soon as the 13" goes to sleep or gets turned off, my bandwidth usage is back to normal. This is while having everyone perform the same tasks online (browse facebook pics).
When you turn the 13" back on, bandwidth is fine for about 5 minutes then it gets killed again.
All software is updated, so no updates are being downloaded, no files are being downloaded, no one is streaming video, just looking at facebook or some different blogspot blogs.
Bandwidth usuage was monitored using tomato's real-time bandwidth monitor.
What can possibly be causing the 13" to use sooooo much bandwidth?
I'm about to just format it and reinstall the os again, but I'd like to avoid it if someone can suggest an idea or maybe a bandwidth monitor I can use on the mac to find out what application is using so much.

Ah yes - sorry left out that bit, I only mentioned the ping because thats the first network problem I encountered that led me to look at my network usage, then I found the bandwidth issue.
Looking at the usage for about 20 minutes today - With finder, safari, and mail running - but no one using the mac, every 4 minutes my inbound traffic hit 6131kbps, which is just under my max of 6Mbps. This happened every 4 minutes for the full 20 minutes I looked. Once I killed safari and mail, the usage leveled out, then after 8 minutes spiked back up to almost 6Mbps. These spikes seem to happen for no more than 10 seconds each time.
I think I'm just going to do a clean install - I originally upgraded this one from leopard to snow leopard, and it seems to be the only machine giving me issues with its wireless connection. Its a long shot, but just something else to cross off the list in hopes that its a software issue and not hardware.
I'm still going to look for a monitoring utility at the sites you suggested for future issues.
My wife doesnt use itunes on her mac, no bittorrent applications, no backup software to the cloud. Even timemachine is off. I really have no idea why it would be doing this, the chances of her installing some random program that could turn out to be a trojan are slim to none.
I have noticed that the mac has some wireless issues, such as the range is very limited. The router is in a network closet I have very close to the living room, if you leave the living room - the mac will say its connected, but wont be able to pull any websites- this would be in the room just past the living room. Its not a big house. If after my re-install I'm still getting these issues, I may hit up the Genius Bar to see if I have a faulty airport card.
Thank you for you help in this

Can I delete a later backup and keep the latest one as to not eat up all my space?

Can I delete a later backup and keep the latest one as to not eat up all my space?

Are you talking about Time Machine backups on a Time Capsule?
It is fine to delete the backup as long as you are sure there is nothing you want.. and do a new clean backup. That will be the least possible space usage for a working backup.. Never delete files out of an existing backup.. it is very hard to manually delete files in the backup.
We do not recommend it.

What can be done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.

Dear Adviser
This is NOT a bug report or an enhancement request.
We are looking for advice on a customer support call.
We are using iPlanet Webserver 4.1 SP7 and iPlanet Directory
Server 4.12 on Solaris 2.8.
We are checking to see if there is any engineering
documentation or quick pointers on LDAP database file
sizes and cache file sizes that may relate to a
reported problem.
Thank you for your time and co-operation in advance.
We have been working on a TIBCO/Portal Builder customer
issue that does not seem to have guidance in end
user documentation. This is related to a significant
increase in LDAP and cache file sizes (which at this
point do NOT seem to affect any performance). Is this
something that you are aware of from your QA/performance
tests? The problem seems to have suddenly cropped
up and we are attempting to isolate the triggerring event.
We started with the possibility that it is
a. Solaris Platform issue
OR
b. LDAP issue
We have done several experiments to isolate specific
issues as described below. We have researched
Sun/iPlanet web site and technical sites on the net.
Currently, we believe that the LDAP database size is increasing
because the Portal has been configured with pages
that have a lot of "Personalized" panes. Users are visiting
these pages, and getting automatically subscribed to these
panes, which add corresponding entries in the LDAP server.
Please find below the listing of all the files (from LDAP
DB directory) which are growing very fast. Kindly advise what can be
done so that these files do not eat up all the disk space.

This may be perfectly normal behavior for the LDAP server. If some application is adding a lot of data to the server, the database will necessarily grow. You can look at the access log to find out the IP address of the client, the BIND dn of the client, and the operations from that client. Perhaps this will help you narrow down the culprit.

SQL Developer occasionally hogs all CPU resources

Client OS: Windows XP Professional
Connecting to : Oracle 9.2.0.3 on Sun Solaris server
I encountered a few instances where SQL Developer hogs all CPU resources on my Windows XP notebook.
I usually have to kill the SQL Developer process.
I have noticed this happening occasionally when I :
1. hit Enter at the SQL Worksheet window
2. hit F9 at the SQL Worksheet window - the query does not start
How do I collect a dump or some kind of debug information when the above happens ?
Who can I send the information to ?

How do I collect a dump or some kind of debug
information when the above happens ?Start SQLDeveloper using sqldeveloper.exe in <sqldeveloper>\jdev\bin
When sqldeveloper starts hogging cpu, go to the console window and type ctrl-break. You should get a thread dump.
Who can I send the information to ?If you have a support contract, you can raise a TAR, otherwise post the thread dump here.

Something is eating up all my memory on my Mac Book Pro.

I think that I downloaded some virus that is eating up all of my memory on my Mac Book Pro. I had 50 gb and not it's zero...Thank you.

Sorry, but where and what is The Finder? I am running Tech Tool to check out my Apple Macbook Pro. My Apple disc utility says that I had
40 GB and then it went down to zero with very little usage. I am an honest person, Ogelthorpe, and I made a mistake by looking at Chatterbate and
maybe this **** site had a virus on it? I also looked at some old Busby Berkeley movies on You Tube. The hard drive problems occurred right after these
two searches. I have been erasing unnecessary things but as soon as I get some free space, it just disappears again, right away. It is like a stomach
worm in a dog that eats whatever hard drive space that I can muster...Thank you, again, Ogelthorpe, and it is now 3:45 PM in Caserta, Italy...Grazie!
