My MBP runs wild with pluginprocess at 80% while not working

I have a MBP medio 2009 - 2.8 Ghz - 8GB RAM, running 10.7.3
Lately it sometimes goes wild while not really working with apps. When I check the istatnano it is the 'pluginprocess' that runs at 50-88% processor usage (6200 RPM on the fans, and 89 degrees celsius on the heatsink).  I have no idea what that does, nor can I kill that process easily. It keeps going and going and ***** up my battery life.
I read other stories talking about it but have no clue what it can be. Any ideas?

Hola,
PluginProcess is related to Flash, and on some Macs, it can go power-hungry, especially when you have a lot of RAM installed, because it's caching like crazy. One solution I've found is to install a small application called AtMonitor (here), to open its main windows, select this process in the list, and click on "renice" in the top right corner. Choose to renice it to 20 on the left of the scale, and restart your browser. It shouldn't go as hot now.

  • Run package with different user  - SUSER does not work in DM Package

    Hi,
    we need to be able to start a DM package for which the username needs to be changed from your own to a fixed username ...
    So in the BPC DM package we enter a fix value for variable SUSER (instead of %USER). However the DM package is still being executed with the user launicn the DM package ... We can see this for example the SQE BADI .. In the DM log the fixed username is being mentioned but it is being executed with your own username ...
    The reason why we have this requirement, is to bypass the lacking functionality of a decent security model and to allow a certain (automated) data posting by means of a seperate DM package ...The user only has access to one specific profit center. However for one specific data posting, it needs to be able to have access to all profit centers. We want to achieve this by letting him execute a certain DM package with a fix user, having all the necessary security rights ...
    Apperantly the parameter SUSER in the task prompt has no relevance ...

    Hi,
    I came up with a different solution to this in the end.
    You need to set WRITE = OFF in your script logic and handle the write back in your code - see below.
    The following steps need to happen after you've completed all of your data manipulation in the BAdI and you are ready to do the write back.
    Set Up
    Step 1: Set up the impersonation 'domain\name' in BPC Administration -> Set Application Parameters
    BAdI code
    Step 2: Retrieve this parameter in the BAdI using method GET_PARAM_VALUE of class CL_UJA_APPLICATION
    Step 3: Call cl_uj_context=>get_cur_context to get the current context
    Step 4: Replace the user id in the context with the value retrieved in Step 2
    Step 5: Call cl_uj_context=>set_cur_context to set the context with the new user id
    Step 6: Call method write_back_int of  cl_ujr_write_back to do the write back
    Step 7: Reset the context back to the original user
    Here is the code we used - it refers to some internal parameters and variables we have created here so can't be lifted 'as is' but should give sufficent information to replicate this functionality:
    ****Step 1: Get the application parameter*
    TRY.
        create object lo_application exporting i_appset_id       = i_appset_id
                                               i_application_id  = i_appl_id .
        lo_application->GET_PARAM_VALUE( EXPORTING I_PARAM_NAME = i_param_name
                                         RECEIVING R_VALUE      = e_param_value ).
        CATCH CX_UJA_ADMIN_ERROR .
    *   RAISE ERROR HERE   
          exit.
      ENDTRY.
    ****Step 2: Change the user**
    * Grab Current Context
      lo_context = cl_uj_context=>get_cur_context( ).
      ls_user = lo_context->ds_user.
      ls_original_user = ls_user.
      concatenate l_impersonate_domain '\' l_impersonate_name into ls_user-user_id.
      try.
    *     Change user so that the data can be written back
          call method cl_uj_context=>set_cur_context
            EXPORTING
              i_appset_id   = i_appset_id
              is_user       = ls_user
              i_appl_id     = i_appl_id
              i_module_name = lo_context->d_calling_module.
        catch cx_uj_obj_not_found.
    *   RAISE ERROR HERE        
           exit.
      endtry.
    ****Step 3: Perform the write back* 
      create data lo_error like it_data.
      assign lo_error->* to <fs_t_error_records>.
      ls_work_status-module_id = cl_ujk_model=>g_module_id.
      try.
          create object lo_write_back.
          call method lo_write_back->write_back_int
            EXPORTING
              is_work_status     = ls_work_status
              i_default_logic    = abap_false
              i_update_audit     = abap_true
              i_duplicate        = abap_true
              i_mdata_check      = abap_true
              i_sign_trans       = ' '
              it_array           = it_data
              i_measures_formula = ' '
            IMPORTING
              et_message         = lt_message
              es_status_records  = l_status
              et_error_records   = <fs_t_error_records>.
        catch cx_ujr_write_back cx_uj_db_error cx_uja_admin_error cx_uj_static_check into lo_exp.
    *   RAISE ERROR HERE        
        exit.
      endtry.
      if l_status-nr_fail > 0.
    *   RAISE ERROR HERE        
        exit.
      endif.
    **** Step 4: Change the context back to original* 
    try.
          call method cl_uj_context=>set_cur_context
            EXPORTING
              i_appset_id   = i_appset_id
              is_user       = ls_original_user
              i_appl_id     = i_appl_id
              i_module_name = lo_context->d_calling_module.
        catch cx_uj_obj_not_found.
    *   RAISE ERROR HERE

  • My work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud, so I hard sync.  But then the new info on my iPhone does not backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud.  However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud.  The company has no plans to update anytime soon.  Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes.  The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!

    Yes indeed ddanielsun is encountering  the same problem that led me to initiate this thread ... If you try to install any of the available 10.9.x from 10.6.8 the installer exits with an error "10.9 required for this update" ... seems strange that 10.9 is so very hard to find ! ! !
    jeff
    Clearly you can not update 10.9 if you do not have 10.9
    It is very easy to find, it is in the App Store as the picture I posted earlier displays. Follow the same instructions. If you can't then use THIS LINK which will take you there.
    The current version of 10.9 is 10.9.5 and that is what you will get.

    Do you have BlueTooth device with depleted battery nearby?
    If that is not the case, you have to take the computer to the nearest
    Apple store to have it checked out.
    Best.

  • You must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    you must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    I tried to answer in your other post.. please stick to one thread ..
    What method of internet do you have.. is this fibre install.. if so the TC should just plug in and use dhcp in router mode.. press and hold the reset and it will go back to router mode by default.

    hello i have a problem with my fingerprint id its not working anymore like before his not recognised my finger anymore why ?

    I have had to periodically delete and re-enter my fingerprint. The last update (7.1) may have improved that. You can delete by going to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode, enter your passcode and then tap "Turn Passcode Off" and then go back to the same area, put a passcode back on and then a fingerprint.

  • I have a iPhone4 acquired in Portugal. I will be moving to the EQUATOR (South America). Whenever I have visited the country before, with other cellphones, they did not work (different band) forcing me to buy a local cellphone. Will my iPhone4S work there?

    If it is unlocked it will work if you get a SIM from the carrier you will be using. Note that Apple does not and cannot unlock phones. Only the carrier it is presently locked to can unlock it.

  • Anyone had issues with on/off sleep button not working anymore

    Anyone had issues with on/off sleep button not working anymore?

    If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, use virtual Lock Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn OFF iPhone. To turn ON, connect iPhone to power, charger or USB of computer.
