Kernel task consumes over 300 %!
Hi everyone!
Greetings from Sweden, Stockholm (Where its hot, 32 degrees celsius outside today!)
My second time posting here.
So I have a Macbook Pro from early 2011 that I myself upgraded with 2 8GB Corsair Ram and a year later, a Samsung SSD Evo 500 Gb (as my main, dont have a secondary disk), after some trouble in the beginning with the SSD and 3 reinstallation of Maverick later I got it to work smoothly, now a month later my computer has just started to slow down soo much. Startup time is really fast, maybe 20 seconds, but just browsing the internet or doing basic task takes so much time, its ridiculous. When watching the Activity Monitor I see that kernel task its often at 300 percent, and at one time it was over 500 percent!
Been searching the forum for this problem but it seems like most people dont have the same issue as me and the solution often being to buy more RA,
also the only thing I have for startup is "itunes helper", nothing more, no Cleanmydrive or something like that since I know how much RAM those programs can consume.
I use my Macbook Pro for a lot of heavy audio editing with Logic Pro and Pro Tools, and need it so bad for work.
is there something Ican do? Am a student so if needed I have to buy a new Macbook Pro but my wallet wouldnt like it...
This is my "Etrecheck" report, if someone with a little more knowledge have the time to take alook I would be so thankfull:

The kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below are some possible causes for the condition.
Throttling
When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or a low-voltage reading from the battery, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to:
☞ a buildup of dust on the logic board
☞ high ambient temperature
☞ a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
☞ the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on battery power, the fault is in the battery or the logic board. If it happens only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That may be normal on some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
Installed software
User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
External display
Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display.

How can I fix kernel task from using 300% of my CPU?
Everytime I disconnect my MacBook Pro from the wall, Kernel Task uses 300% or more of my CPU and stays that way until I connect the power. I've tryed resetting the System Management Controller, restarting the computer, logging in to another account, and deleted all "bad" files (problem files I've found out via Google). Going to Safe Mode does remove this problem, so it's maybe a program error?
The most likely reason for it is that the battery needs to be replaced.

Kernel-task consuming 150% plus of CPU
I have a MacBook Air with 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo and 2GB RAM and running 10.6.3.
Recently the performance has become noticeably slow - indeed painful at times.
Mooching through the Utilities I discovered Activity Monitor and this tells me that a system process called kernel_task is consuming more than 150% of CPU resource. I've checked it several times over the past few days and whilst it does occasionally drop down, the process is using over 150% for the overwhelming majority of the time.
I've tried rebooting the machine from scratch, switching from wireless to wired network, and stopping as many applications as I can, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
How can I persuade this process to stop playing with itself and share some CPU time with me?Hey all, I had this same issue. Kernel_task was using between 104% to 136%, obviously bogging the system down badly. My Macbook (2010 2.66 ghz) was about 2 weeks old. I tried re-installing the operating system several times, reinstalling from a backup, ect...all did not change anything. I finally called Apple. They had me send it in for repair, the HARD DRIVE was the problem. With all the testing I did and repairs I attempted I believe it had something to do with the firmware which from what I was told was not accessible by me to download and repair (similar to a PC's bios). If you have an external drive with an operating system on it, try running your Macbook from that, if the problem is fixed then chances are good that you have a bad hard drive.
Hope this helps.

File copy results in kernel task high CPU usage
Macbook Pro
MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz
2010 year model.
Snow Leopard 10.6.7
Copying files over the network, or via external Firewire 800 harddrive invariably results in rather hight cpu utilization for kernel task process. The number are in the range of 15-20% in the Acivity Monitor. To compare, iMac 27", 2009, full speed FireWire bus file copy at 80 mb/sec makes only 2-3% kernel task CPU use. Why is Macbook pro so much worse? Is it due to chipset limitations, or what?Just now I have been copying some movie files over Gigabit local area network, the data received per second is up to 55 mb, and kernel task consumes 50% or more of CPU. The same task on iMac or on Windows based computer does not tax the CPU in any way, since it is handled properly by network adapter I suppose. So what is wrong with 2010 Macbook Pro?

Kernel.task using 300% of CPU. MacBookAir mid 2013
Hi
I have a MacBookAir mid 2013, 13-inch.
Starting my mac up after sleep to weeks ago, it behaved very strange and has done it since that day. The fan turns on at full speed, and the Kernel.task operation is taking up 300% of the CPU, or in other words the system is constantly using between 65 - 80 % of the memory, hereby making the Mac very slow, and useless to use for anything. Also at the same time the sound disappeared, in the system configuration there is no output audio to select.
I have tried a lot of things in order to fix this problem, based on things I found in the discussion forum here. I have tried memory cleaner, to remove sound files, to remove plists (as many suggests, but for this MacBookAir6,2.plist, does not exist), I have formatted my hard disk and reinstalled the original OS X system (Mountain Lion), and the upgraded to the current version (Yosimite). But nothing has worked.
Does anyone having the same problem? Or know how to fix this? Anyone been in contact with Apple related to this problem?
Best regards
MortenFirst, get rid of "Memory Cleaner," which is useless at best. Then see below.

Kernel task over 100%. High CPU Load. High Temp. Problem Solved.
Hi,
I thought i would make a post as i had been having trouble with my 13 inch mid 2009 MBP for sometime (6 months), with runaway kernel tasks causing high CPU loads. I had searched through forums and discussions for a long time trying to find the problem and isolate it. Initially i discovered some problems with finder preferances that were chewing up CPU which i solved by deleting the prefereance file, allowing the system to recreate a non corrupted version. This helped but still i had problems. I tried maintainance suites like onyx, reseting PRAM, booting into safe mode, hardware checks and diagnostics, and more little tricks than i can remember. Nothing i tried really seemed to make a differance. Through reading on this forum and others i found out the kernel tasks can be a direct result of hi CPU core temps as the system runs a lot of small kernel tasks to try and take some of the CPU load away from processor intensive processes that may be contributing to hi CPU load. The thing which solved my problem in the end was opening up my MBP, being careful not to touch the logic board and literally puting my vacuum cleaner over the fan, sucking dust and dirt and dust out of my latop. This computer has been through the dirt with me, literally its been dragged through rural south east asia for a year and accompianied me to warhouse parties to perform and run lighting and visuals. Its little wonder the fan was obviously clogged. I know people tend to be holier than though with their mac products and treat them with the upmost respect, but my love for the MBP has come from how sturdy and reliable it has been under less than desirable conditions.
Now im not telling people this is what they should do, i had just noticed alot of people with this problem in my attempts to solve mine, and in the end this is what helped. My MBP now runs at a temperature where i can touch the metal near the CPU without being worried about a 3rd degree burn and the CPU load is acceptable with no run away kernel tasks. Like i saw this might not be the cause of your porblem, as my laptop has lived a rough and fun life so far, but i thought i would share this with you all as i have had contstant help from this forum and others searches for solutions to problems with my apple products.Already tried SMC and PRAM-reset with no luck.
On my MacBook late 2008 it's the same effect. -
Kernel Task over 400% CPU usage
Hello, I have some questions about the Kernel Task in my activity monitor.
Recently, after a hard disk failure, I have my Macbook Pro wiped and start afresh with Mavericks. All was well, but it slowed down tremendously in the last couple of days. I checked the activity monitor and Kernel Task is always around 400-470%, sometimes it even peaked to 1000+%! I closed all my applications but it is still taking up all my RAM. I cannot work when it is freezing up every 2 seconds. What is the problem?
Here is the report, if it helps:

My Mac is running INCREDIBLY slow, Kernel-task and LR, PS, PSE, etc. are not functioning well.
Hi! Been trying to follow a thread about the Kernel-task and slow Mac performance. I did download EtreCheck and ran the report. I am a photographer using LR 4 and Chrome is my main browser. Both Chrome and LR (or PSE, or PS or Xee (a photo viewing app) make my computer run beyond ridiculously slow. I have so much work to do for clients and I get stopped in the middle of editing and cannot move forward because my beloved Mac is having issues. I did go through several old apps and the Application Support and Prefernces and deleted what I could of what I knew "what was what". I would appreciate any help in getting my Mac back on track. Thanks!
- Amy
Problem description:
My Mac is running incredibly sluggish. Chrome continues to lag, and the spinning ball is ridiculous when I am working in LR. I did the EtreCheck and the report is below. I JUST cleared out my LR catalogs and now have just two folders in the catalog from a current wedding I am working on. I will have to consider using separate catalogs for my other genres or even smaller catalogs and just make a catalog for each client. Thanks for looking this over! I am so frustrated.

1.
Back up your Mac prior to making any changes to its file system. Time Machine has not been configured properly To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
2.
You inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
For a description of how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended actions read How to install adware. Apple's instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.

That Mac's Hosts file appears to have been modified. Fixing a modified Hosts file requires specific instructions. Apple Support Communities contributor and EtreCheck author etresoft recently added a User Tip discussing that concern, and how to correct it: Fixing a hacked /etc/hosts file -
I have over 300 photos and 87 videos. When I recharge the battery I am geting the message to buy more storage to because not enough icloud space. So I did yesterday. That went ok, but the new message tells me it will take 83 hours. Perplexed I went thru the settings and turned off apps and their data that I didn't realize where on. Now I'm not sure if I needed to purchase more storage but it is still taking forever to complete the task. Am I on the right track with this, meaning will take forever to store all my photos or what ? The only other item I have on to store is contacts. Can you assist me ? Thanks - emoslim
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps. -
I am a member of a shared family plan which as I see it posted our bill is over $300 a month, which does not include unlimited data, family protection (which allows you to permanently block numbers vs there 30 or 90 day limit if you are not covered) <---- this requires you to constantly be on alert of something so ridiculous that it shouldn't be concerned with, and finally they do not offer an upgraded voicemail service. So my voicemail asks me to enter pin than right to messages. It does not tell me the following: The date the call was made, the time the call was made, nor any other pertinent information regarding the call aside from the number and than the message. It's frustrating because I miss a lot of calls these days due to volume controls and silent modes and ring tones that aren't loud enough that I need to know when calls are received. I don't ever remember having to pay for an upgraded voicemail service, that's like hiring a firm to handle all my incoming calls. I want my answering machine back. I have many other issues to include Verizon's online chat service which has at least one major issue. I won't bring that up here. The question is how much more money can they get for a simple cell phone plan? For christ's sake.
Message was edited by: NoMoreOriginalNames Grammar correctionsThe free voicemail is basic which gives you the date and time of the message. If you want more you should pay for more. Also, some Android phones with KitKat have free Visual Voicemail.
Thank you for your feedback, but my phone gives me no choice and it most certainly does not state the date and time that the message was received. The only way for me to know that is if I happen to check exactly the phone log around the same time that the message was left, else it is buried underneath other more recent and answered calls. And seriously man, the whole pay more idea is getting a bit far-fetched. There is no reason why I should be able to buy a portable mini answering machine for a one time payment of $14.99 with a reusable blank tape, they don't have these and we'd look ridiculous carrying them around with everything else, but the point is we are giving permission to charge for some ridiculous things that should not be paid more for. My old answering machine worked just fine, and more importantly I have never paid for an "upgraded" voicemail service. As I mentioned if I want that I can hire a service to do that, but I don't need that. I hope you can understand my growing concerns. We pay for every little in-app purchase, we are being programmed to pay for everything that should already be includedfdasf in an initial price, brought home and enjoyed for its duration. Instead wesdfsdf are paying monthly fees and dues on objects that aren't covered by warranties or insurances which eventually break and leave people struggling to pick up the pieces. These are serious issues because people now rely so much on their phones (of course this is all my opinion) that we've become depandent on them. Anyway, thanks, appreciate all the feedback.
As for blocking this is what it states on my plan under the blocking feature tab:
You can block calls and message from up to 5 phone numbers at no charge.
Expiration. Blocks expire after 90 days. Be sure to reapply the block if you wish to continue the service restriction. To permanently block numbers, subscribe to FamilyBase*.
Limitations.
You cannot block numbers within your account or non-10 digit numbers such as 911,411 or #MIN (checks minutes used).
Apple® iMessage® won't be blocked. Messages from this service can be blocked by disabling the iMessage feature from within the Settings>Messages menu of your Apple device.
Unblocking. To unblock a number, highlight and delete the number, then click "Submit".
So there's the limits, but even worst is they don't include a simple field where I can put the name of the individual I am blocking. So when it comes time to maybe rotate one out (this should be an unlimited number), one of the many 5 I can choose to block, I might not remember who is who or what is what. I have a lot of responsibilities in my life, this is not one that should be pushed on the consumer. It's ridiculous. -
A Kernel Task runs at 700% processor power between every 5 minutes to 1 hour, slowing down everything I do. I have tried Onyx, zapped the PRAM and reinstalled Snow Leopard. Any suggestions?
pan did you solve it? i have the same issue. i see people writing 'oh no kernel on 200-300%... well my kernel runs up to 600-800% anytime. i'm running os 10.6.8, i have 2010 2GHz intel core i7, with 16gb ram and... go figure. even ssd drive, thinking i have the fastest possible hardware installed to ease up on any task i'm about to do. but when it gets slow then safari just 'quits' on me, mouse cursor gets so sloppy slow (that's how i always realize that kernel is knocking on the door again). but... i do use screen, 24 apple LED and i have the laptop still open, so dual screen. i think it happens way less when the laptop is closed and i use just the big screen... but i refuse, this is not a calculator, its god **** macbook pro, so if one extra screen kills my workflow then i have to... idont know what. help apple, wth! and your safari ***** so much it's not even nice, it's so buggy but i'm the crazy one, because i keep using it. that's all

MacBook Pro Kernel_Task over 300% ; laptop running very slow
My new (4 week old) MacBook Pro suddenly this weekend started running very slow with the fan running constantly. I found the "kernel_task" was running the CPU over 300%. I tried various methods mentioned in different threads but nothing worked. I eventually went all the way to wiping the disk and reinstalling the OS. This has NOT fixed the problem. I do not know where to go next. I am posting a copy of the EtreCheck report I ran, and I am looking for any help.
The next step is taking this thing back to the Apple store. I love my MacBook, but not when it is not lagging like something running Windows ME. I expected more out of this machine than this.

0 B Page-outsThe kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below are some possible causes for the condition.
Throttling
When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or a low-voltage reading from the battery, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to
a buildup of dust on the logic board
high ambient temperature
a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on battery power, the fault is in the battery or the logic board. If it happens only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That may be normal on some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
Installed software
User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
External display
Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display. -
Hello again, Apple Friends.
Recently I have noticed that kernel_task in Activity Monitor is running at anywhere between 60MB and 200MB of RAM, which is really slowing things down. I have searched on the discussion boards the past few days and have found similar posts related to MB Air and old Powerbooks, but nothing about iBooks.
The kernel_task process will run, using up lots of RAM, even if I have no apps running whatsoever. If I let the iBook idle, over the course of 15 minutes (nothing running) it goes from 60MB to 150MB, with anywhere from 47 to 60 threads. That's when idling!
What I've tried to eliminate: (none of the following are the problem)
Firefox 3
any and all items / drivers in my login startup (the only ones I have not tried removing are those that are Apple)
resetting PRAM (did this)
Repaired disk permissions (did this 2 or 3 times, and each time after checking other items above).
I do not regularly have any peripherals attached, and the problem has existed without peripheral devices. I did get new RAM added a few months ago (I went from 516MB - or something like that - to 1.25GB) and I am wondering if this is part of the problem? But I have only noticed the problem recently. I'm not receiving any kernel panics, and so I'm not too worried, but I am really wondering if there is something amiss I should be worried about. And when I start using other major-memory apps (like iTunes, for example), the kernel_task process goes wayyyyy up (to 250MB or more).
I should add that I have also tried all suggestions listed in this thread, but to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?Well, I have discovered something interesting. After your advice, BD, I tried a few things. First of all, after login, just leaving the computer idling, the kernel task does increase gradually over the course of 15 minutes -- I have tested this 3 times and it usually starts at around 60MB from login and creeps up to anywhere from 75MB to 120MB at the end of 15 minutes.
But then I wondered if it was somehow connected to my login account. I realized this problem only occurs under my main account. This account is not an admin account (I have a separate one for that). I logged in with 3 different accounts (boyfriend, Visitor, and my brother's) and none of them even had the kernel task running on login. Yet under my main account, it is running, starting at 60MB and with 47 threads.
Is this unusual? My next trick is to leave it idling for 30 minutes after login to see how much the memory use increases. But I am really curious now. -
Still having fan issues and kernel task issues
Hi there, I got a iMac Late 2013 model, 8 GB RAM, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, Running Mac OS X 10.10.1. I have had issues in the past with this the Fan running for no reason on this computer. I read numerous articles about this on the web and most said to do a SMC reset and also that certain cables (USB) may cause this. I recently did and SMC, repaired permissions, ran daily/weekly/monthly scripts. Yesterday computer was fine, this morning the fan is going full blast and in activity monitor it says Kernel_task 300+% CPU, CPU time 22:32:14:55. Anyone have any thoughts on this as to why this continues or what I am missing here. Really gets annoying to shut down, SMC restart then good for a day or so. Thanks in advance
This was originally an old post from a couple months ago and I;m bringing it back to life here as the issue still persists. Any help is greatly appreciated.EtreCheck rain after I posted first message

Kernel task going wild an battery not recognized on MBP
My MacBook Pro is 8,2 and I'm running OS 10.8.2
A couple of days ago I first noticed an X that shows that there is no battery. Strangely enough, the problem disappears and then it comes back again.
I have tried the SMC reset with no luck.
In one of those opportunities that the battery was back on line, I was able to use Coconut to check it. It said that the battery was at 90% of its total capacity and charged at 100%.
I did noticed that when this happened, Kernel task would go crazy and start using CPU at 300%. Some people say these two problems could be related.http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=259
Lat night I turned off the computer instead of putting it to sleep and this morning when I turned it on, the battery was working again. After a couple of hours of use without any problems, I put the computer to sleep. When I open it again a couple of hours later, I did notice that the computer was hot. The battery indicator was again with an X and the Kernel Task was going crazy at 300%.I was just going through this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/19395293#19395293 and read that a user was having some Kernel problems while trying to connect to his wireless network.
I decided to shutdown the wireless and restart my computer and here is the result
No kernel going wild as it used to happen after every restart or shutdown.
After I cheked that the computer was running without a problem, I decided to reconnect the wifi and this is what it happened.
My Kernel Task started going crazy again.
I will repeat this condition several times just to chek if it was a one time thing or it repeats.
