Mds and Web Process Question

Alright so i'm familiar with what mds is and what its intentions are, but my question is how often should it run, and when running, how long should it last? I've had my macbook pro for about 4 months now and experienced something for the first time tonight.
-notice macbook is very warm to touch and sluggish. fans kick in to high gear, at this time i was only using pages and had 1 window open in safari.
-hop over to istat nano to check it out
-mds is running at 50-90% of cpu and over 500 mb of ram
-this continued for a good 15-20 minutes before things calmed down
-web process was also over 180mb? not sure what usual numbers are.
-mds is still running over 150mb and its been almost an hour
-my hdd is 320gb and i've only used 30
Could be completely normal, Just wanting some opinions from the other mac addicts
thanks

YEP!
Crashplan was the culprit. I have updated CPPro.
Using: http://download.crashplan.com/installs/mac/install/CrashPlanPRO/CrashPlanPRO_200 9-06-11.2.dmg
Make sure you get the right updater for the right version of CP (there are 3 in total): CrashPlan, CrashPlan Pro and CrashPlan Hosted Pro.
Everything is back to normal now...
Thanks!!!!

MDS and mdworker processes gone wild

Ever since I upgraded to Lion on my Macbook Pro I am getting intermittant periods where the MDS and MDWORKER processes completely take over the CPU and all apparent activity for minutes at a time. It's now been a week, so I'm quite sure Spotlight is done indexing the drive. What are my options?

I'm having the same problem you are, and I'm exploring options.
First I noticed that Backblaze (backup service) was causing the problem, but I fixed that by including the /library/backblaze folder in Spotlight's privacy area. The complete lockup that was causing is now no longer a problem.
However, I'm noticing that most of the cycles are going to indexing my Time Machine backups, which Spotlight will not allow in the privacy area. It looks like it's indexing many of my old mailbox files from mail.app that are backed up on the Time Machine (Time Capsule) disk. I really don't see the logic to this. I've had the computer on and idling with full access to Time Machine for many days now and this is still going on, with MacBook Pro fans running at full gun and CPU not quite maxing out, but frolicking between 5% and 65% or so on a regular basis with no other apps present. Activity monitor doesn't show anything else hogging cycles -- it's all mds and mdworker.
Something isn't right with this. I hope that the next update from Apple will fix this, or someone on the intertubes will come up with a quick solution.
All the above is on a MacBook Pro (late 2008). I do note that I have a MacBook Air (late 2010) that backs up to the same Time Machine but does NOT have Backblaze installed. (I put everything important on the MacBook Pro.) This machine does not seem to have these problems. Both computers are running Lion and have much of the same software. Backups are doing fine on both machines.
My temporary solution is to turn OFF Time Machine on the MacBook Pro. This does seem to make things much better -- although even at 5% CPU use the fan runs somewhat higher revs than I was used to with Snow Leopard. I then run a manual Time Machine cycle just before I turn in for the night. When I'm back to using the machine again, I make sure the Time Capsule is not mounted. I'm backing up any working files continually to Backblaze still, as well as to Dropbox, so cutting the Time Machine frequency down to once or twice a day is not too bad for now. I do not want this to continue, however.
Also, I have done the following: Repaired disk permissions, reset the SMC and PRAM, and started the computer up in safe mode fully, and then restarted in regular mode.
If anyone has any possible fixes, I'm listening and thanks!

MDS and MDWORKER processes not running

Spotlight stopped working about two weeks ago. I noticed that the mds and mdworker processes are not running. Something corrupted maybe???
Any ideas?

Iphoto 6 and web gallery question

I'm a newbie, so please excuse me if this sounds stupid. I have iphoto 6 and have successfully made photo pages, but I can't figure out how to start a web gallery. (I want other people to be able to upload their photos.) I've tried looking at tutorials & stuff but they all have to do with iphoto '08. Am I just blind? I haven't subscribed yet to .mac, I'm still in the trial, does that make a difference? I'd appreciate any help,

I was referring to the customer reviews of ilife '08 on the Apple website. You're right though, most of the negativity was regarding iMovie 7, and the majority of the iPhoto complaints were about their current published photo pages being "all messed up". That doesn't bother me so much because I want to start over with a new web gallery anyway. Also, a guy I talked to said that he was having trouble with iPhoto 7 and his photoshop work. (Like I said, I'm new to this, so my feeble brain lost the exact terminology he used.) I think I will trust what you say though and go ahead and buy it just because it looks so **** pretty. Thank you for your help!

Mds and mdworker are constantly using 10%-40% of my CPU since partitioning.

2 days ago I partitioned approximately 80GB of my 500GB 7200rpm macbook pro drive to be used for Windows 7. There was 430GB of free space on my HDD at the time so I know that there was no overwrite issue. It has successfully been installed and runs very well. However, since I did this the mds and mdsworker processes on the Mac side are constantly using large amounts of my CPU and are bogging down my computer. I understand that these services help create the Spotlight database. Is anyone aware of this issue?

After two days I'd say it's time to start over. Go to the System Preferences application- you can get to it by clicking on the Apple in the upper right corner, System Preferences is about a third of the way down the menu. When it's open, select Spotlight from the list of preferences. Under "Search Results" in Spotlight you will see the order in which results will be displayed. If you want to change the order, now would be a good time.
Uncheck all the boxes, this will remove them from the consideration of Spotlight. Then re-check the ones you wish to be available in Spotlight, this will force them to be re-indexed. My arithmetic says your files should occupy not much more than 50 GB, this should not take long to index.
You could try just Applications, or just System Preferences first to see if it is able to complete the task. If it takes longer than a few minutes, there's likely something else going on, perhaps related to your partitioning.
Good luck! Joel.

WebI Processing server 4.0 and its common services

Hello there.
Tried to search here as well in SAP notes area, but did not find anything useful. Problem here is that the default WebI processing server was deleted and when I'm trying to create it from a scratch it allows to add only single service, for example: WebIntelligence Core service or WebIntelligence Common service etc.
By default WebI pro server consists of Core, Processing,Common, Information Engine service... ok the last one can be added to APS server, but how to get tose 3 Core/Common/Processing to single server, I can't add them from a list because it's empty. I do not want to recreate the SIA node, but the problem here is that one of those services consuming huge amount of memory...more than 6GB of mem and I do not see the switch how to turn it out.
many thanks in advance

Hi again
I do not like to bump like this, but maybe somebody have any idea how to deal with it? Maybe it makes sense to add this question to diferent thread?

Why are there dozens of "web process" pop ups after wipe and load of 10.6.8 on Mac Mini by Genius Bar?

I just had my Mac Mini (early 2009) in at the Genius Bar as it was running very slow. They did a multi hour scan of the harddrive, etc. Did not find any hardware problems. They did a wipe and loaded 10.6.8 on the Mini. The Apple folks were great to work with. I picked it up today and and set it all up. Using Safari, I am now going through 6-12 "Web Process" with each and every web page I go to!! Safari is completely unusable in this fashion. Can this be changed or must I use a different web browser.

Good morning,
Not quite sure what you mean by 6/12 'web process' with every page I go to. The version 5.1.7 is correct for the Snow Leopard OS X.
Run a software update, just in case the geniuses didn't, and check if you or they have installed any Safari extentions. If so delete / disable them all and try again.
If Safari then shows signs of normality, reinstall the extentions one at a time until you find the one that is causing the problem.
Oh, and have you got 'Block pop up windows' checked in Safari menu?

SSL certificates and Web Services Usage inside Oracle Database Questions!

We have implemented a specific business logic using PL/SQL for our client, so we open a file and process each line of this, doing something in the Database and also call a Web Services (Service1) using UTL_HTTP package. Service1 runs in a Windows 2008 Server in the DMZ as Database server.
Service1 is already working, and we can call the service from PL/SQL without troubles.
However, according with security client's policies they requires all Web services be consumed via https including Service1, so we must to follow the procedure established for Oracle in order to enable the calling of service1 via https from the Database.
Our client's DBA and IT Team are concerned about two subjects before to continue to follow the certificate installation:
     - SSL Certificates:
1- Can installed certificates in the Database put in risk the stability of the database?
          2- Can installed certificates in the Database generate performance issues?
          3- Can installed certificates reloading the Databases?
          2- Can installed certificates in the Database generate security issues?
     - Web services:
1- Can web services calling from the Database put in risk the stability of the database?
2- Can web services calling from the Database generate performance issues?
3- Can web services calling from the Database generate security issues in the DMZ?
Could you please give us any clues, about the possible negative impact related with the SSL certificates and Web Services Usage inside Oracle Database, if it’s the case this impact exists?.
Those are the links describing the procedure mentioned above.

Periodicity: Twice at day.

Thiago:
You are correct in that there should be no problem interacting with a Web service that has an HTTPS endpoint as long as you create a wallet and specify it when you make your UTL_HTTP calls, like the PayPal example.
I am not aware of a PL/SQL utility to create a XMLDsig Standard message, but if you find some Java source out there that does it, you may be able to follow a technique I used for a similar use case:

Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium Windows Question

Hi!
I am considering purchasing Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium Windows. The designer I work with does all of our work in the same program, only it is version 5. Before I make the purchase, I want to make sure the two versions are compatible. Will I be able to make changes to their work when they send it to me in version 5?
Also, where would I even begin to look for a class on how to use this product?
Thanks!

Yes, you can open up files from older versions in newer versions, it may just not always work the otehr way around. Your otehr question is too generic. We don't know what kind of work you do and pointing you to random tutorials may not at al lbe productive. If you feel so inclined, spend a little time looking up some basics video tutorials for the programs, but anything specific is best asked when you actually encounter the issues.

Safari launches with spinning ball and full fans and 100% CPU web processes

Exactly the same issue on Macbook Air and new iMac both running Safari 5.1 and Lion 10.7.3
When I open Safari it does not open a page, it just shows a spinning beach ball and shortly after the fans kick in and the activity monitor shows 1 webprocess at 99 - 100% or sometimes 2 web processes at 50/50% all coming from the User. When I inspect the process it says it's "Parent Process (Safari 450)"
When I quit safari the web processes stay at 100% and will only stop when I quit them in activity monitor.
I have reset Safari but no joy.
Firefox etc works fine.
The only update I ran was a 1Password update but they say it's not them.
Any help would be appreciated. It's driving me crazy.

Solved..... I used App Zapper to delete Flash and Safari is working fine again!

Beginner's questions about WCF and web services

For the purpose of this forum let me just say that I got my certs back in Dot Net 2.0. I know how to write simple web services. Now someone has dumped a huge package of code on my desk that (I think) contains a WCF project (without documentation
of course). Contains references to System.ServiceModel.
So my questions...
1. What (if anything) is the difference between WCF and Web API?
2. If there is a difference, how do you decide which one to use?
3. Assuming that this project on my desk is a WCF project, where can I find some hints on how to run it in VS2013 Community?

WEB API is restricted to ASP.NET and HTTP.
http://captechconsulting.com/blog/john-nein/aspnet-web-api-vs-windows-communication-foundation-wcf
WCF uses more communication protocols than just HTTP, there are more ways to host a WCF service other than IIS, like a selfhosting exe type WCF server, and WCF is a SOA solution.
WCF is a more robust solution in a whole lot of ways is the bottom line.
