Locationd using all available bandwidth

I know that locationd is used to provide OS X's "Core Location", and uses skyhook, the same service that is used by the iPod Touch to locate itself.
That doesn't explain why locationd is consuming all available (incoming) bandwidth, however. Has anybody else run into this issue? Does anybody know why locationd would do this!?!

Did you try using the Min Load % field for Resource in the resource master ?

I am using a Hughes Satellite and I am having a problem with using all my bandwidth without even using my computer. Is there a way to shut things off that I don't need running all the time in the background.

I am using Hughes satellie for my internet provider. I am having a problem using all my bandwidth each day. Is there a way from using this bandwidth. I am using even when I am not using my computer. Is there a way to turn off things that are running in the background.

It depends a lot on what you have installed and what apps you run. Here's a suggestion: Get Little Snitch and see what processes are accessing your internet connection.

How can I make app use all available space in window?

Hi,
I'm trying to embed my flash app in a browser window and have
it use all available space. I've found plenty of tutorials online
that tell me how to make it take up the whole window, and they
work, but that isn't what I want. I have other content on the page
(a bar of links across the top). I thus want the flash app to take
up the full width and almost all the hight, leaving enough vertical
space for the link bar at the top. Right now, I have it set to 100%
for both height and width in the object tag, and it displays the
link bar, but the bottom of the flash gets chopped off (an amount
exactly equal to the height of the link bar). It seems that setting
height=100% means 100% of the full window height, not the unused
height. Is there any way to make it do what I want?

I believe the 100% will be relative to the parent container
of the Object/Embed tag.
If the Flex app is in say, a DIV that is correctly sized,
then 100% will fill the DIV. So I think you will need to get your
div sizing dynamically. A CSS expression maybe?

Syslogd process uses all available cpu & console app won't run.

I have a Mac Mini (G4 power PC) running 10.5.5. Just recently after several minutes the system never wakes. It just shows the SBBOD. All I can do is hold down the power button and reboot. When the system reboots, using the activity monitor, I see that the process named syslogd uses all available cpu. I can still do things, but the cpu is saturated.
I took a snapshot of the syslogd process, and I can post it here if anyone thinks it might help.
If I activate the console application, the window comes up then hangs with the SBBOD.
The syslogd process uses all available cpu right after reboot, and does so regardless of which user (including root) is logged in. Attempting to kill the syslogd process with the activity monitor does nothing

Thanks! It took a long time for the disk utility to fix the permissions, but as soon as it did, the logger process calmed down. Looking at the log file now, I see it was my McAfee virus scan causing the logger to flip-out.
I'm now looking for a new MAC anti-virus program.

System not using all avail. mem.

Hi all, did a lot of forum searching and haven't seen this topic.
I'm using PPCS5(in production Premium) While rendering, the program is not using all available memory. before I go on here is the system I am using:
Win7pro
EVGA X58FTW mobo
I7 970
6x4gig Kingston hyperX 1600 RAM
Quadro fx4000
WD 140gig Raptor sys. drive
2x1TB RAID 0 (3gig SATA) data
2x2TB RAID 0 (6gig SATA) data
see image:
I have 21gigs allocated to the program.
Is the bottleneck the cache memory?
This is what I'm outputting:
Thanks for looking.

CS5 not using all available memory/CPU

I'm sure this is the opposite complaint you usually get, but for some reason AME will only sometimes use all available memory/CPU power. I'm on an 8 core Mac Pro, and while AME will sometimes register as using ~%1,000 CPU and just blitz through videos, other times it hovers around %100 and processes at regular speed. Right now, for example, it's using about 600 MB of memory, leaving over 3.6 GB free. Is there any way to assure that it always runs at max speed?

There's another thread with a similar set of issues. Other than the disk subsystem, there is another possibility for the bottleneck. That is, the codecs that are used to decode the input video files may not be efficiently multithreaded. Hence the codec responsible for creating the output file, the CPU and the disk subsystem all could be lightning fast and collectively they may all be waiting for frames to be served up by the decoder. You can check whether the disk subsystem is the bottleneck by creating a RAM disk (assuming that you have enough system RAM) and both putting all input files on and writing the output files to the RAM drive.

Macbook Pro not using all available resources

Hey All,
I have a MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Late 2013) with the 750M and 16 GB RAM. I monitor most of my resource stats with MenuMeters and I've been noticing that it doesn't use all the available power to complete a given task, I assume to save battery life. What I'm wondering is, can i change some settings to allow my processor to run faster (not overclock, just use a higher percentage of available CPU power)? For example, I was updating league of legends, and the launcher was scanning itself to check for discrepancies. It took a minute or two and I noticed that my CPU percentage hovered around 20-25% and my SSD read speeds were not even close to the theoretical maximum (I've got the PCI-e interface). Is it just poor programming that doesn't let my computer work its hardest? I feel like I have a Porsche with governor on it.

Expanding on the above, with 64-bit systems like Mountain Lion, RAM becomes critical. 4GB is a bare minimum. And will fall short if you add a few hungry apps. What happens then? Unix's fallback for low RAM conditions kicks in: virtual memory. The system tries to simulate what it does not have: extra "RAM" in the shape of a chunk of hard disk space where unneded stuff gets dumped to free real RAM. Now the system starts to lag as it desperately tries to guess which part of stuff in RAM can be moved to the disk and waits till the slow disk operation concludes. Worst case is when space runs out in the drive and all comes crashing down.
So, upgrade and give the big cat at least 8GB RAM. Can go up to 16GB. And always leave AT LEAST 10% of the drive empty.
Lastly, if you want to know what your cores and threads are up to, start up Activity Monitor. Click on the CPU tab at the bottom part of the window. Then double-click on the CPU graph. A new window will pop open, showing the load on each thread the CPU can handle concurrently.

While no applications are running, something is writing to the HD, using all available space

Very strange issue - This a White Mac Book, probably 6 years old, running 10.8.4 with 4g ram, 160G HD.
There's some process writing to the hard drive while no applications are running, using all the available disk space. I can watch the available space become less and less. At the same time, everytime I try to move anything to the trash, I get a prompt to authenticate. Once a password is entered, the files don't get put into the trash, but become deleted right away.
Things I've done to attempt to correct:
Flash P-Ram - no effect
fsck -fy from single user - disk structure is ok, no errors.
Run verify and repair permissions from the recovery partition. Had no effect.
There is no AV app installed, but there's no space to install to check for viruses. Whatever is writing to the disk uses any available space which won't allow anything to be installed.
Can't create a new user as there's no disk space.
Only option I see is reinstalling the OS which I'm trying to avoid if I can.
Any thoughts/Suggestions? Thanks.

If you haven't done so, try a Safe Mode boot ..
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes a longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
If that doesn't help, try locating a diagnostics log file.
Open the Console app located in HD > Applications > Utilites
Select: System Diagnostic Reports on the left.
Copy and paste the most recent kernel panic or crash log in your Reply.
Hopefully that will narrow down the problem.

Messaging Server 4: imapd uses all available CPU

Busy IMAP servers consume all available CPU capacity.

Customers with many (100+) simultaneous client IMAP connections may find that
imapd runs very slowly. This problem is caused by IMAP commands sent by the
client regarding shared folders.

Newer versions of Communicator send less CPU intensive commands. Netscape
recommends that customers upgrade all clients to Communicator 4.5 or later.

Customers with Messaging Server 4.03 and later can disable discovery of
shared folders by clients. Mail administrators who do not use shared folders may wish to turn off
shared folders with the follwoing command:

configutil -o local.store.sharedfolders -v off

Shared folders are controlled by a configdb
parameter that is not in the default list of configdb parameters.

Photoshop CS6 not using all available computer memory [was:Hello all]

I have the creative cloud trial version, and when I use photoshop cs6 it will not allow me to use all of the memory. I would love any help that can be offered.

Sound like you starting the 32 bit version of Photoshop on a Windows system. If you have a 64 bit Windows system both the 32bit version and the 64bit version of CS6 is installed. Look in you start button you should sett two CS6 start icons one for each version. Only the 64 Bit version can use more than 4GB of Ram.

WRE54G version 3 uses all available DHCP connections causing all wireless connectivity to fail

I couldn't find this problem via search so i've started a new thread. Here is my problem.
I have configured my WRE54G and everything seems to be working great, a Wireless connection that was LOW is not Excellent.
a. I can connect to my router: 192.168.0.1 (WRT54GC firmware 1.05.7)
b. I can connect to my range expander: 192.168.0.11 (I changed the IP, firmware 3.01.01)
c. The Range Expander has the same SSID as my router and has the same WEP key too.
It seems that the range expander will eventually use all of the DHCP connections that I have configured for my router to allow.
I have the DHCP lease set to 30 minutes but when i look in the DHCP client list I see clients with 2 day leases, these are all the MAC Address of the Range Expander. Currently 5 of 7 connections are the Range Expander. Eventually it will consume all connection and I won't be able to connect.
On my wireless router I have MAC address filtering set up and only 4 MAC addresses are added to the "allow" list.
Message Edited by 221385 on 12-21-2009 07:44 PM

DHCP lease time on the router is 30 minutes.
It appears that the clients, specifically the only wireless laptop on the network, drops the connection and when it reconnects it gets a new lease and IP address. This happens many times until all IPs are in use. I don't know why the lap top drops the connection when the signal strength is excellent.
I have seen the MAC address of the Client in some cases but the majority are the WRE.
I've linked to some pictures of the router set up, the DHCP client list, and the basic WRE setup. There are only 3 wireless devices in my home, 1 laptop, 2 iPhones. I guess a neighbour could be trying to connect but I do have MAC address filtering turned on so only included MAC Addresses can connect.
I guess I could always update the firmware but I only want to do that if it will fix this issue. I tried the live chat today but I didn't have access to my home network so there wasn't much that we could do.

Lion suddenly uses all available memory

It seems to happen randomly. all of a sudden I get the beachball Activity Monitor says root kernel_task
it has 4Gig mem 2.8 core 2 duo seems like it just all of a sudden it boggs down.using all memory. then after afew minutes it goes back to normal.
any help would be great...

IF you are using Safari my guess is that is the culpirt. Open Activity Monitor and click the System Memeory tab to see what apps are using most of your RAM. As mentioned keep a close eye on Safari.

VM Server Install - use all available disks?

Hi,
We have a DELL XPS with 2 x 1.5tb disks and an i7 processor and we are going to use this machine as a mini VM Server. When we do the install of Oracle VM Server 2.2.1 we aren't sure how to setup the disk partitions so that Oracle VM can see all the availabel sapce (the whole disk) on both of the disks?
It seems to default to create an OCFS2 file system (to mount as /OVS) using 1.4tb of the first hard disk and then leaves the second as "Free Space".
I am not very familiar with OCFS2 - but - I have a rough idea of what I want to do (conectpually at least). I want the space to appear as though it was a logical volume and be available to VM Manager and miounted as /OVS
Does this make sense - and can anyone offer any pointers on how we utilise both hard drives in a single machine.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bren

The simplest solution is, as you suggested, creating an LVM volume group, and create one large lv.

Apple tv using all my bandwidth

.. when i do a speed test on my iMac, it shows 5mbps where as when apple tv is not connected it shows >15mbps

My internet usage went through the roof one day and managed to pull between 12gb and 20gb a day, and I couldn't figure out what it was. After a month of harassing my ISP to look into the traffic, they finally agreed and I discovered that something was downloading an average of just under 1Gb every hour, 24 hour hours a day from Flickr.
Then I clicked and remembered that my apple TV downstairs which no-one ever watches had been changed to the Flickr screensaver. I was shocked that a screensaver could use up so much bandwidth. Needless to say I turned the screensaver off.
Try checking to see if your screensaver for your apple TV is set to iCloud photos, or Flickr or something else on the internet.

What kind of trojans would cause large uploads causing me to use all my bandwidth?

If there isn't a virus that infects IMacs what would cause the above???

Are you running any backup software other than Time Machine? There was another post this week about Western Digital's backup software for their external drives running all the time and hogging processor cycles. The same thing could happen if you are using an online file backup service. Don't know if iCloud is acting that way but you may want to ask in the iCloud forum if you have it on your computer.
Make sure you have Activity Monitor set so that you are not missing some notoriously greedy background processes. There is a "Show" option in the AM toolbar that, by default, is set to "My Processes." Change it to "All Processes to get the big picture:
