Kernel_task...? Just...help!
I just got my 13in MacBook Pro yesterday. I haven't installed anything on it, really. The only thing I did was connect to my HP Photosmart All-in-One printer via Bluetooth and print a few words, just to see if it worked. I've seen that HP drivers can sometimes cause the kernel_task to start using up all your CPU, but I didn't install any drivers. I've looked and looked, and there's just nothing there. The lag is highly annoying, and renders the machine practically unusable. It also goes on for about 30 minutes at a time...then it will stop for maybe 40 minutes before it starts back up again. I'm not running anything weird. I can't figure out what's wrong. I'm fed up and about to send this thing back and just get a PC. Help!
I also updated OS X and I imported about four CDs to iTunes...and I'm currently reinstalling OS X from the disk that came with my Mac.

Same problem here and it started with HP drivers....install.
I wonder how to remove this to check wether it is the root cause.
I also have a Total loss of internal keyboard and trackpad, only the BT and wired keyboard and mouse are working.

Can someone please just help me figure out how to update this stupid phone(iPhone 4)without losing anything? I somehow have more than one Apple ID on this,but I just want my music and my pictures to stay and I'm terrified of losing these things. I have a lot of music from old CDs on here,and for some reason I can't even transfer them manually onto my computer. I'm not tech savvy whatsoever. Someone please help,having my music is the the whole reason I still have this phone.

I need some help. I recently won an iphone 5 in a customer survey. Could not believe my luck . That was mid March 2013. I have never used any apple products before. Today I want to get out my old Nokia E5 and go from there. I have attended two workshops at an apple retail store at Charlestown Square, they were not very helpful, everyone at the workshop had ipads, i was the only one with an iphone. I know that to navigate around on them is simular, but after going to two workshops, which i had to drive over an hour there and back, just to get some help in how to use a mobile phone is ridiculous to me! I noticed some problem with , I could hear people i was talking too, they could not hear me, just prior to attending my second workshop, after much debate I was told that the phone had a manufacturing fault and that I was going to be issued with a new phone. That was 2nd April, since then i have virtually no reception, can't send txt messages, cannot connect to my wi-fi device, problems with battery. The battery , once fully charged does not last 24 HRS, this morning for example - was 100% charged, made a 2 min local phone call , at completion of call , battery displayed 80%. By lunch time it was displaying 56%, i had not used the phone at all ! i don't understand it! I have been with the same phone provider for 2yrs now and have never experienced the problems i am having now. CAN ANYONE HELP ME ? Yours Sincerely Tracey.
Tracy, first you should restart the iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo. This process could solve some of your problems. Also make sure you have the latest update, go into our settings>general>software update. On the wifi issue try restarting your router, if you are still having problems try resetting your network settings, go into your settings>general>reset then tap reset network settings.
The battery issues seems normal, the battery will not last 24 hours. -
Bring back HELP...just help!
I don't know whose idea it was to quit including paper manuals with the software, but I hate it. I also hate the new HELP feature with CS4. I don't want to spend hours looking for an answer. Please bring back the old help model! (And if you think hate is too harsh a word, let me assure you, hate is extremely appropriate when I think about all of the time I've wasted trying to get the answer to one simple little isse.)
GSThe original help files are still on your hard disk you just need to tell your browser where to look for them.
For example, the following path will give you the help files for the British English language version of Illustrator CS4:
your boot drive/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Help/en_GB/Illustrator/14.0/index.html
I have a Bookmarks Toolbar Folder called (surprisingly!) 'Adobe Help files' which gives me access to all my CS4 apps local help files instantly

My computer has been extremely slow lately and the Kernel_Task has been using up a lot of CPU lately. I don't know much about how to fix this stuff so if someone could take a look at my EtreCheck (someone said to do that on another forum and start a new thread) and give me some advice that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You do not need a 3rd party anti-malware product. It is redundant to what Mac OS X provides standard, plus it consumes resources better used for the stuff you really want to run. And kernel extension are running as part of kernel_task (which is the guts of Mac OS X).
How does Mac OS X protect me?
<http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg-builtin/>
Time since boot: 25 days 23:27:16
145.22 GB Page-ins
4.53 GB Page-outs
Considering your system has been up for about 26 days, the ratio of page-ins to page-outs reinforces etresoft's contention that you need more RAM. You are getting the high page-ins because Mac OS X is throwing away read only memory (mostly program code) because it is easy, and then having to page it back in to memory when it is needed again. Also the high number of killed Apple daemons, which is another way Yosemite frees up space.
Google Chrome can be very memory intensive. It runs a separate process for each Tab, so no single process looks like it is consuming a lot of RAM, but if you have a lot of Tabs open, there are a lot of processes consuming a lot of RAM.
Having an SSD with enough RAM will really make your Mac fly. I have a 15" 2011 with 16GB RAM and an SSD, and it great. Suggest Crucial.comhttp://crucial.com or MacSales.com (OWC) as reliable Mac RAM vendors.

This sounds like a Mac Cleaner. Mac cleaners tend to fight Yosemite. If this module is doing a lot of disk I/O it would cause the file system in kernel_task to consume a lot of CPU time, and since you have a SSD, there would be very little I/O wait when doing I/O.
Unless you absolutely need some service this component is providing, I would suggest removing it, at least until you know for a fact it is not causing problems.

Please help me out!! I actually need the sound going on ASAP because I have to do some of my work on my iphone. It would be nice if you could all help me.
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks -

Check the knowledgebase article SID2359. Look under 'How do I reset/format my Creative Rhomba?' Format the player using this method and then download the firmware from the download page to update the player.

I don't care if you think i did something stupid just help me.
So here is what happened. A while ago i accidentaley left my ipod out in a full downpour. It survived but it started doing weird things like when i tried to watch a video it would enter the video thing and for a few seconds the screen would go black. Then it would go back to the menu and then i could watch the video. later on it started totally freezing up and so i restarted it. when i did it showed little sad ipod. so i did it again and it started acting normal. later it started clicking sometimes while i was using the buttons. i now realize that is the hard drive. after that LCD juice in the screen starting coming out so i sent it in to get repaired. after a while i was so fruastrated with my ipod clicking and screwing up i started banging it on my couch and bed mattress. That made it freeze for a few seconds every time i pushed the buttons. i banged it on things some more and now what happens is every time i restart it it shows sad ipod. so i restart it again and this time it starts clicking, and it switches between the apple logo and the sad ipod twice, then says connect to computer to restore. so i connect it and now it switches between apple, sad ipod, and +very low battery, please wait+ for about 30 minutes then automatically switches to forced disk mode for i dont know how long. and it dosent connect to itunes whatsoever. So i'll say it once more: +*CALLING ALL MAGICIANS AND MIRACLE MAKERS*+
similiar thing happening to me except for the leaving it out in rain, banging it against stuff, LCD juice, clicking and screwing noises, and forced disk mode. so basically mine just goes to sad ipod when i try to turn on then shuts off, but when i have it connected to charger/computer it goes to sad ipod screen to low battery screen, restarts and repeats

How to deploy a java application -- might be silly but just help me out
Hi I�ve developed a java application in eclipse. How do I deploy it so that it can be used by others without the help of eclipse? I can run it in eclipse but how do I deliver it to my customers and how can they use it without the help of eclipse or using java runtime commands. Please give me some pointers on this.
Eclipse can help you to build a jar file for you.
See: File>Export ...>Java>Jar File
Don't forget to stick a Manifest file in that jar which points the JVM to
the class that contains the static main() method.

AT&T just "helped"me and wiped my phone. how do I get my apps back?
Really two questions here: what happened to my phone, and how do I get my apps back.'
1. yesterday, my phone started showing the "connect to itunes" and emergency call only screen. I saw some advice in the forums about connecting it to a computer, but had never done so, so didn't think it applied to me. What caused this to happen??
2. I called AT&T, who had me download itunes on my work computer (can't get up the stairs to home computer after knee surgery, specifically asked if this would damage anything on my phone and was told no. after downloading latest itunes and connecting to this computer, all my apps, photos, contacts, everything is gone. Is there anything I can do to get that stuff back? Kids' 8th bday phontos on there...
TIa,
CDMOM1. yesterday, my phone started showing the "connect to itunes" and emergency call only screen. I saw some advice in the forums about connecting it to a computer, but had never done so, so didn't think it applied to me. What caused this to happen??
Not sure what happened but whatever happened was a major problem if the only option was connecting your iPhone to iTunes which requires restoring your iPhone with iTunes.
2. I called AT&T, who had me download itunes on my work computer (can't get up the stairs to home computer after knee surgery, specifically asked if this would damage anything on my phone and was told no. after downloading latest itunes and connecting to this computer, all my apps, photos, contacts, everything is gone. Is there anything I can do to get that stuff back? Kids' 8th bday phontos on there...
AT&T handles problems with their network, which the problem with your iPhone had nothing to do with. It would have been better to call AppleCare for this instead.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred to an iPhone from a single computer only.
When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided indicating this will occur - the first warning message provided is your iPhone has been synced with an iTunes library on a different computer.
An exception to the warning message provided would be if restoring an iPhone with iTunes is required, which apparently was the case in your situation. Restoring an iPhone with iTunes completely erases the iPhone first followed by the firmware being re-installed. If this is done with the computer you normally sync your iPhone with, you have the option to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup which must be followed by a sync to re-transfer your selected iTunes content and any photos from your computer to your iPhone. None of this data is available with the computer used to restore your iPhone. -
Just help with Drag & Drop into Backup
I would like to know what does a person do manually for using a backup hard drive.
Do I ... Drag and drop which of the following that will give me my all my stuff back - if my stuff is lost for some reason ..
Do I drop and drag the Application Folder, The Library Folder, The System X folder .... or which if not those ?
ThanksUsually, a roll-you-own Clone works the best; since a good one
will allow you to boot the computer from the clone, for backup,
repair of main internal drive, and troubleshooting; large enough
one, can also be partitioned and part of it used for storage.
• Carbon Copy Cloner:
http://www.bombich.com/index.html
• SuperDuper:
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
On an externally enclosed hard disk drive,
with its own power supply; for most Macs.
ie: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATAFW800_FW400USB
These should all be able to work to complement Time Machine, but do more.
A backup clone can get you up and running; and you can do complete or a
partial clone (backup changes) however a complete bootable one is best...
System parts should generally not be drag n dropped. Some backup libraries
of iTunes and iPhoto have their own rules for archiving or storage/retrieval or
use from an externally enclosed hard drive location.
Good luck & happy computing! -

Well, you're wrong, & in fact not only is it locked, GCI does not offer unlocking for iPhones.
Fact is your post won't help the OP.
And you are 100% sure its locked to them? How can you know this? While GCI does not offer unlocking that does not mean the phone is actually locked to it. Get off your high horse.
Its possible the original owner had an unlocked phone. he was using with GCI. Or that GCI doesn't actually have locked phones. Seeing as they don't even have their own infrastructure but instead use AT&T's I doubt they'd have iPhones specifically locked to them and that would be the reason they do not offer unlocking (because there's nothing for them to unlock). And just to clarify, I'm not saying for a fact its not locked to them. It very well maybe be, but without knowing more about the phone and going by the fact GCI uses AT&T infrastrucure its possible its not locked. But here's no way to say for sure either way.
Trying a Sim card from AT&T or another carrier might just help the OP if its actually unlocked or locked to AT&T rather than GCI.
