Kernel task uses 750MBs of RAM since installing Mavericks

Hi All,
I'm new to these forums and could really use some help. After installing Mavericks I noticed my system was running deathly slow even with no applications open. At first I assumed it was indexing so I waited a day. I noticed kernel task, the finder, and icon services agent were using unusual amounts of RAM. Kernel task would go up to 750MBs - it never went that high before. The finder would go up to 300MBs and stay there, even after closing every window. Only quitting and restarting Finder would solve that issue.
I've tried repairing disk permissions. I also tried getting rid of Parallels, since MS finally released OneNote for Mac. This made no difference. I deleted lots of widgets and unecessary applications and possible bloatware (like TechTools Pro). I installed AppCleaner to make sure I got everything. It got most, but definitely not all associated files. I then went into the terminal and did the command that reveals hidden files/folders. I then deleted the daemon for techtools pro just in case.
After all of this, kernel tasks is still using 750MBs and 7.9GBs of RAM is being taken up (other than background processes all I have fired up are Firefox and Skype. I'm at my wits end and would be so grateful for some help.

  • IMac running slow and frequently crashing since installing Mavericks. Any useful info in this log?

    Since installing Mavericks some time ago, applications have become slow to open, proccesses have slowed and, well, eveything has slowed down some. Also, almost every day, sometimes more than once, the iMac will freeze for a second, then reboot itself. I've tried searching for similar posts but haven't found an answer yet. I did open the console (which, I confess, I don't understand) and I'm getting lots of messages. But, as I've never checked before, I have no idea whether any of them are normal. Here's a small section:

    Thanks in advance for anyone's insight!

    Ok, so I think I got rid of everything you suggested, Arthur. No real improvement in speed, but the computer's four and a half years old, so...  I should just be satisfied if it doesn't crash every day. That would be an improvement. I'll have to wait a few days to see. I've run Etrecheck again just incase you see something else that might help. Thanks.

    OK. A Google search of "kernel_task" yielded the following link along with many others:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10330458-263.html
    Evidently it will take some doing to narrow down exactly which task is causing the problem. This link has a list of suggestions for doing just that. Hopefully it will be a start.
    Post back with how it goes.
    Good luck!

  • Since installing Mavericks Photoshop CS6 is freezing all keyboard communication every 3 or 4 minutes

    Hi, a couple of days ago I installed Mavericks onto an imac running 16gb ram, 3.4ghz HD. I'm running Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.5 & using a wacom with the latest drivers 6.3.7-3.  I've had no issues previously but since installing Mavericks every 3 or 4 minutes communication is lost with the keyboard. By that I mean Photoshop will no longer respond to any keyboard shortcuts. I can keep working in Photoshop, it does not freeze completely but I'm locked into the tool i'm using unable to zoom in/out or any other task via the keyboard .If I exit the app and then return to it the keyboard functionality returns also. I am also able to jiggle the keyboard back into action by clicking away form the work area and onto another palette. Returning to the work area brings back the keyboard. Bluetooth keyboard & batteries changed too.
    I've tried disabling the background save and also the graphics processor but with no success. Has anyone experienced anything similar and found a solution? Working is Photoshop has become a real drag as the workflow is broken every few minutes. Any help MUCH appreciated.
    With thanks

    I too had the same issues with mavericks.
    There are 3 MAJOR bugs for those working deep into photoshop on Mavericks. The keyboards freezes, the auto completion on the Polygonal Lasso tool, and the sudden blank menus. I have made several threads about this in these forums and I´ve tried sending bug reports to Adobe and Wacom. But no response! Now im a disappointed paying CC customer.
    So, I´ve reverted back to Mountain Lion, which I don´t regret for a second. I can confirm all of the bugs went away. And not only that, Photoshop also performs better, its more snappy as well (I almost forgot how it is working with a bug free Photoshop, its like getting a new operating system ). I will not upgrade to Mavericks before all of these bugs are fixed, but with the response I got that might as well never happen. Wonder what I should do when buying a new computer?
    ANyway, I recommend you revert to Mountain Lion if you want Photoshop to work properly, Adobe hasn´t given any indication that they are working on these bugs.

  • Since installing Maverick, all Adobe CC apps crash when I am trying to save or import.

    Since installing Maverick, all Adobe CC apps crash when I am trying to save or import.  I might be able to save the file if I do not try to select anything other folder than the current folder that opens (last opened).  I do not use the cover view option (I see some have had problems with that), but almost always have it in list view.
    Is there some setting I need to set or is there a fix for this somewhere?
    Also, is it just me or does it seem like Mac crashes more now with Maverick than before?

  • Since installing Mavericks, my HP Printer adds an extra page to every print job, and iCal won't synch via iTunes with the Calendar on my iPhone 4s. Can Mavericks be uninstalled?

    Can Mavericks be uninstalled? Don't know if the discussion title pulled in all of my problem, so here it is again. Since installing Mavericks, my HP Printer adds an extra page to every print job, and iCal won't synch via iTunes with the Calendar on my iPhone 4s.
    And no, I was a bad boy and had not been Time Machining. Guess I will now.
    So, can Mavericks be uninstalled?

  • Since installing Mavericks, my screen pixelates.

    Since installing Mavericks, my screen periodically becomes pixelated, forcing me to reboot to resolve the problem.  I've tried reinstalling Mavericks which failed to resolve the problem.  Any suggestions?
    MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

    Hello ZMan,
    It sounds like you are having some graphical issues since installing Mavericks. I recommend the troubleshooting form the article named:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many (not all) documents that cannot be opened in either Pages '09 or Pages 5.  They show on my doc lists, but are greyed out so I can't try to change extensions or anything else.  Some are PDFs.

    Since installing Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I have many documents, but not all, that cannot be opened in either Pages 5 or in Pages '09.  The names show in my document lists, but are greyed out.  They do not show any extensions, but I'm sure at seast some of them are PDFs.  As I cannot open them, I am unable to try to experiment with any solutions - I am not tech savvy, but can sometimes fix things by trial and error.  I have no issues with sharing documents as I have no other devices.  I just want to be able to open my saved documents!  Also, the documents I can open have to be persistently coaxed to open to a point that it is extremely aggravating.  I am not so happy with this recent "upgrade."  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You use Finder to find stuff. It is what you use to look at where your files are kept and to rename, move or trash them. If you double click on a file in Finder it finds the right software to open it for you.
    To open particular files you use the right software for each type. Usually, but not always, the software that made the file.
    Pages opens files ending in .pages. Also .txt, .rtf, and doc.
    Pages 5 is the latest (but certainly not the greatest) version of Pages. It has trouble opening all sorts of files including the older Pages '09 files but it will still do it.
    Unfortunately Apple has chosen for Pages 5 to also save its files as exactly the same file extension .pages despite it being a different format that can not be opened by the older Pages '09.
    As we all know Apple is wise and great beyond belief and would not do something that on the face of it looks extraordinarily stupid and shortsighted. Therefore we know that it must be our fault and we are not holding the software right. Because we are bad users, we must be punished, by either having to use Pages 5 or jump through hoops to avoid using Pages 5.
    If you have installed Pages 5 any .pages file (old or new) will be opened by Pages 5. If you then save the file, Pages 5 will change the file format. So don't open your files with Pages 5 and don't save them if you do.
    To stop Pages 5 opening and resaving your old files, you need to drag it to the trash and empty it.
    When it is no longer around to annoy you, you can go back to using Pages 09.

  • Mavericks has broken most stock apps, app store ,preview, messages, facetime ect the list goes on they bounce in the menu then nothing its been like that since installing mavericks fixed briefly by reinstalling but then stopped again very quickly

    mavericks has broken most stock apps, app store ,preview, messages, facetime ect the list goes on they bounce in the menu then nothing its been like that since installing mavericks fixed briefly by reinstalling but then stopped again very quickly
    any help ?

    You most likely ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Since installing Mavericks I'm getting a message that Shockwave will not load

    Since installing Mavericks yesterday I am now getting a message that apple cannot load Shockwave Flash - cannot play any games on Facebook because Flash will not load - tried disabling the oldest of 2 versions but that made no difference.  Any suggestions?

    I did a full factory reset on the Apple TV and then set evrything up again. Synced all my stuff from the computer, which seemed to download ok, but still get the "Your Apple TV is not authorized to play this content" message. It's very frustrating. All the content was purchased from the iTumes Canada store, I'm in Canada but can't watch it on the TV. I tried changing to the US store but same message. I think I'll just give up. This is the first time I have ever had a problem with an Apple product and I have never used anyrhing else but Apple. Thanks for your help anyway it's much appreciated.

  • Since installing mavericks, I cannot view pdf's in preview...

    Since installing Mavericks, I am unable to view pdf's that I download using Preview. I receive the following prompt:
    The file “Contract & Payment Express” couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info.
    When I go to the finder to do that, however, there do not seem to be any permission issues. Please help - I don't mind using adobe reader, but I do not like not being able to solve why something is not working when it was prior to the update. Thanks

    Linc's suggestion in:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23360657#23360657
    solved this issue for me.  Thanks for taking the time Linc!

  • I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac. Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before. I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings.

    I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac.
    Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before.
    I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings. I have also used Ethernet on its own but still get the same sound problems.
    I would love to turn itunes sound off as you used to be able to do, but this I believe can't be done.
    Has anyone else been having the same types of problem, and better still has anyone got the answer?

    When the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is connected by Ethernet, you will find an option in the AirPort Utility, labeled: Enable AirTunes over Ethernet on the Music pane. Just select this option to allow streaming iTunes via the AirPort's Ethernet port. You should also be able to disable the AX's wireless so that it shouldn't interfere with the nearby TC.
