Latest 10.8.5 mod slowed my computer - kernel_task cpu issue
Installed the 10.8.5 supplemental mods and the Java update last night. After doing so, the kernel_task cpu issue - which I had eliminated a year ago - has come back. It is making time-machine unusable in both normal and safe mode. How do I fix? Backing out or restoring to previous time machine settings seems impossible due to the processing speeds. Reinstall??
Final answer! This was a case where the 10.8.5 updates overwrote / reinstalled the "plist" files which control the power throttling of the CPU. The pasted link has a whole discussion and fix with the details. I had run with this fix since Aug 2012 and this was the first Mountain Lion upgrade that caused me to re-do it. As an FYI, there are RISKS specified with this fix, but in my case I have not come close to having excessive temps or any functional issues.

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

Acrord32 slows down computer, graps cpu time.
Acrord32 slows computer, grabs cpu time.
Win XP Pro SP3, Acrobat 11.0.01.36.
(If this is not the correct forum, kindly direct me to where it should be re-posted.)
Every time the cursor floats over a .pdf file in any file manager, acrord32 slows down the computer, hangs the cursor, takes cpu time and makes scrolling jerky. The more .pdf’s in a list, the more jerky as acrord32 opens and closes, again and again. The cursor is not pausing over a .pdf file, no .pdf is being selected, Acrobat is not running. How can this be stopped? I DO NOT have Reader installed.
Acrotray and Acrord32 are NOT loaded in msconfig. They do not appear in task manager UNTIL the cursor floats over a .pdf. After a second or two, acrord32 disappears out of task manager. However, it is obviously lurking because it comes back next time the mouse encounters a .pdf.
Questions:
1) how to stop this behavior?
2) how do these exe/dll’s get loaded when they are not marked to start?
3) where does acrord32 “lurk,” and how can it be ferreted out?
This is very annoying.AcroRd32 is related to Reader, so not sure why you have it if you do not have Reader installed. If no Acrobat product is running, the only process that should be running should be AcroTray that provides the process when printing to the Adobe PDF printer and should not be disabled. Be sure you check the processes list and not the applications. AcroRd32 runs in the background processes when it is running.
I checked on both AA9 and AA XI systems with Windows 7. Neither one had AcroRd32 running. My guess is you have it installed, even if it does not appear to be. -
My computer got really slow after updating to latest version of Firefox. I checked all processes and I was testing the system. THe CPU usage goes between 2 and 70 percent staying around 25% on average, when I check my e-mail. As soon as I click on Google taskbar (without even typing in anything) the CPU usage jumps to 100% and STAYS at 100 %, and computer extremely slow.

mountain slows my computer..........
everytime I change between programmes,windows,even tabs , the spinning wheel shows up for maybe 10 secs .
Any genius out there who might know how to solve this ????
Wish I had never installed this supposedly great upgrade
ThanksI do believe those will be your only options, and you should also be able to obtain the latest updates for that OS as a download from the Support Downloads area.

Using 3 TB Western Digital HD to store 350+ converted personal movies from my collection. Want to add more movies from my collection but this process is slowing my computer down considerably. Although I have downloaded the movies to my Ext HD, have left my itunes library on my desktop main drive. Is there a way to add more movies without slowing down my computer?

Firefox.exe uses too much memory slowing the computer down, what can be done?
This doesn't happen every time I am using the browser, maybe half of the time. When it does happen it takes a long time for it to clear up. It can slow the computer down even after I have exited out of the program, maybe still not responding because of high memory usage. Is there anything I can do to get Firefox to run smoothly?
Some updates are better handled by Internet Explorer or the built-in updater, such as any updates from Microsoft's Windows Update or Office Update systems. (These systems are not compatible with other browsers.)
You can use the "all systems" page to download a full installer and then copy it over to your XP system.

DFU Mode. Is it possible in anyway to enter this mode without a computer?
Hello.
Me and my friend have a big argument about DFU mode.
* He calims that it is possible to enter DFU mode without a computer at all.
* I claim that entering DFU mode without a computer or any other external hardware is impossible at all.
* I also claim that it is possible with a software only, without phisicaly touching the iDevice using iTunes or any other software.
I also explained him that DFU is "Device Firmware Upgrade" and it must get connected with a PC or MAC to get into this mode.
Can someone professionaly explain us the correct answer so that we can finaly solve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Asaf Moraz.Exactly! while i connect it to the computer it just power on the device.
When i press the power again without forcing it through hard reset and without connecting it to the computer it just power up.
That's why i am allmost sure there is no way to enter this mode (DFU) without beeing connected to the computer and tha's what i tried to prove.
Thanks a lot for your time by the way... -
When I try to install the latest version of ITunes on My windows computer, it doesn't install. It says log in as administrator (which I am). Any fixes?
What didn't work? Removing everything or just the older version of Bonjour? Did you follow the instructions in the link I provided above to walk you through the process?
Perhaps it would be a better idea to post this in the iTunes forums, since it is an issue with iTunes and your iPod Shuffle.

You stumbled on a Mac Tower forum, not notebooks.
If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."

Why has new update totally slowed my computer down?
the new update has slowed my computer down drastically. Sites load very slowly, and sometimes not at all. Then, it continually reverts to "Firefox Updated" page
the password is an old one that I have not used in some time.
Quit Safari.
Open Keychain Access /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Delete all the keychains for the sites you have trouble logging into.
Relaunch Safari then go to Safari / Preferences, seleect the Autofill tab. Make sure: User names and passwords is selected.
Now select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies. Delete all cookies or just the ones for the sites you mentioned.
Navigate to a site. After entering your user name and password, you should be prompted to save that data, click Yes. That will create a new keychain for you.
if you still have problems, open Keychain Access again. From the menu bar click Keychain Acces / Keychain FirstAid. Enter your admin password then click Verify. If necessary, click Repair. -
