Opendirectoryd and notifyd are consuming 20% of my cpu. How do I find the source of this problem and kill it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to identify what is causing opendirectoryd and notifyd to chew up my cpu? I've searched around in console but I'm not entirely sure what to be looking for.

That's right, after restarts, "quit process" and "force quit process" in Activity monitor, and further restarts, this ReportCrash process listed under my user account just won't stop. It hogs anywhere from 4-95% of my CPU, normally at the top of this range, and shows no sign of finishing.
Here's the process hierarchy:
original process: ReportCrash username
parent process: launchd (88) username
parent process: launchd (1) username
parent process: kernel task (0) root (0)
This last parent process done by root is using up an average 3% of my CPU by itself.
I'm not a UNIX guru, and can barely work in a terminal window, so please don't ask me anything to technical. Just please, please send some help my way.
I've recently had network issues and some other nagging process hogs that run in the background, no matter what I do (see thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2123765&tstart=0 ), so could this possibly be an extension of that problem. I don't know if a mac "genius" at the store is smart enough to take this on, so I'll appeal to the more informed people out there.
This is a wild guess, but I wonder if something on your computer isn't crashing repeatedly.
I'd launch the Console utility and look in system.log for odd messages around the time(s) you're having those problems.

Hm, it seems the new website has obscured the option for purchasing the smaller monthly accounts. You can purchase it here. Adobe Connect | Meetings.
If you need more than the 25 per meeting limit, you can reach out to a reseller of your choice that covers your area, Adobe Connect | Strategic Partners.

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button "live radio" I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

That is probably just a generic error message and you might not ever know what is causing it. Assuming that you have been able to play live radio with the app in the past (I know nothing about the app) and assuming that all other Internet related functions (Safari, email, etc.) are working properly on your iPad, quit the app completely and reboot your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails to resolve the issue, you might want to reboot your router, unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

Although this isn't currently possible in the iOS Calendar app, go to iCloud.com (not on your iPad, but on a computer browser like Safari or Firefox) and log in. There, you can add an event in Calendar and have the options to make it repeat however you want.

If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

How can I find the answers to my security questions or change the answers?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here, and reset your security questions, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help or you don't have a rescue address, you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

Question: I am using a mac , wired Keyboard, on a windows 8.1 platform ( this is because I have boot camped my hard drive) Unfortunately when I change over from my mac set up into the windows 8.1 the key board does not behave like it does when I am using as a mac. The numbers , on the right of the keyboard , no longer function and I have to use the numbers at the top of the keyboard, very annoying. Can anybody let me know how I unlock the numbers on the right of my keyboard?

I have stated every issue I’ve had so far in a fairly clear and concise way. I think if you read what I wrote, it all makes logical sense as to what is going on. Windows 7/8 would work just as well on a Mac if it was supported the same way the OS is for other OEMs.
As I stated earlier in the post, I’m having these same issues in windows 8, not just 8.1, which is the reason for the post. I know the difference between supported by drivers and not supported by the manufacturer. The fact that when Haswell mbp’s came out and no revision to bootcamp for the new hardware was released to fix issues with installing windows on the new hardware shows Apple clearly Is not supporting bootcamp as strongly as they advertise.
I am being realistic on Apple having drivers early. Anyone with an MSDN subscription can download the RELEASE version of windows months ahead of the actual release, I’m 100% sure if any average consumer can do that by paying $100 and saying they are a developer, apple can do it just as easily.
You aren’t much help, you haven’t answered really anything to my post, nor have you contributed any knowledge that wasn’t clearly posted above, so don’t say anything if you don’t have anything to contribute.
By the way, my rant is directed at apple, as you can see because I am saying “Apple, if you are going to…” because this is an Apple forum on Apple’s website. It is not directed to end users, clearly.

HT201272 Lost 111 songs, not found on my hard drive/computer anywhere. How can I recover the songs from previously purchased items? I get amn "i" in circle that says can't locate song, and when I try, it goes nowhere. How do I find the songs previously pu

I've been trying to locate my lost song files on my computer and in my iTunes purchased library. However, when I try to go through itunes purchased to redownload prevously purchased songs, it says they have all been downloaded to my computer. These are the songs that show up with a small "i" in a circle in my library. I click to "locate" but cannot find them anywhere. How can I find them and/or re-download these songs?

Tunes works through a database file which has a list of your tracks. When you click on a track it looks up in the database which file it needs to play, then plays the file. If something breaks this link then you get ! The two main ways to get ! are to move a file from where iTunes expects it to be, or to delete it altogether. I don't know which has happened in your case. You can try using Spotlight to find a file for the one referred to in a broken link. If the files have been moved then they need to be moved back. If they were deleted completely you will have to restore them from a backup or download them again from the iTunes Store and rebuild your library.

How can i find the tablename for that field and suggest the report logic

Hi experts
The concept of BOM for finished components are defined in terms of semi finished goods. Hence, routing of a component from raw materials can not be seen directly in system through standard report.
But users need to have the details of a routing of a component from raw material in one report. To provide the details in single report, development is required.
With this report users can see the routing from raw material till component in one single report.
Assumption
BOM is maintained for a component with all related semi finished components till raw material properly.
Material Number: MARA MATNR   - Multiple selection option should be there (Mandatory)
Plant: AFRU WERKS      - Single selection parameter (Mandatory)
If procurement type is E or X, system has to check the routing through CA03.
If procurement type if F, leave this field as blank
1.operator
2.material
3.material description
4.workcenter
5.vendor
6.operation description
7.uom
8.qty
9.uom
10.setuptime
11.processingtime
12.deliverytime
using cs12,cs13
here i have seen the details of finished goods components like semifinished goods,rawmaterils,i tried se11 to find the the table for relevent field,
i cant get, if possible to suggest me the logic and how to find the relevent table for
that field
Regards
ds

for exploding the bom if you know header material use
CALL FUNCTION 'CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2'
    EXPORTING
      CAPID                 = 'PP01'
      DATUV                 = SY-DATUM
      MEHRS                 = 'X'
      MTNRV                 = P_MATNR
      WERKS                 = P_WERKS
    TABLES
      STB                   = I_BOM
    EXCEPTIONS
      ALT_NOT_FOUND         = 1
      CALL_INVALID          = 2
      MATERIAL_NOT_FOUND    = 3
      MISSING_AUTHORIZATION = 4
      NO_BOM_FOUND          = 5
      NO_PLANT_DATA         = 6
      NO_SUITABLE_BOM_FOUND = 7
      CONVERSION_ERROR      = 8
      OTHERS                = 9.
now check PLPO & PLKO table for routing or AFVC and AFVV for routing.
if production order created you have to check in afvc and afvv else check in plpo and plko.
for checking with plpo and plko you have to check MAPL table.
for bom and material link
MAST,STPO,STKO.
stlnr is the common field

I recently bought a used iMac with OS X 10.6.7 and I can not get to the adminstrators account. I do not have the OS disc. Any help is greatly appreciated.

How can I reset the Administrators password to create a new one?

Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
(these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
      the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
      command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
     until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
     message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
mount -uw /
ifconfig lo0 up
cd /var/db/netinfo
netinfod -s local
Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
Now, enter:
sync
reboot
and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

My iMac screen suddenly turn black and white when I'm in fullscreen mode. What could be the cause of this problem?

Hi, once in a while the screen on my 5K imac turns black and white when I'm on youtube watching videos in fullscreen mode. It also exits the fullscreen mode automatically from one second to the next and a warning pops up saying how I can exit the fullscreen mode. Does anyone have an idea why this happens and if this is a software or hardware problem?

I'm using a Dell laptop with Windows 7. I've set the resolution to 1024x768, though the maximum resolution on this can go as high as 1366x768. So this is a problem that no one has been able to figure out? I've ran lots of other Flash-based applications that went fullscreen with no problem, so I'm wondering what other methods there are to try, if possible.

Opendirectoryd and notifyd are consuming 20% of my cpu. How do I find the source of this problem and kill it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
