Pages' CPU Activity Shoots up to 99.99%

Whenever I change some simple text, Pages almost freezes up and just sits there. Should I re-install Pages? Is this normal? This usually happens when I use a template that is pretty graphics intense (Sonoma from KeyNote Pro).

My initial guess was correct. The YahooMapService sets its
"source" property to a mapURL that causes design view to go into an
infinite update loop. You can make a small change to
YahooMapService.as (and rebuild the SWC) to work around the
problem.
In YahooMapService.as draw(), check the designTime flag
before setting the source property as follows:
if (!UIComponentGlobals.designTime)
this.source = mapURL + "?&swfDomId=" + swfDomId +
"&id=" + UUID + "&url=" + escape( mapURL );
and also add
import mx.core.UIComponentGlobals;
in the "import" section of that file.
Then, create a new Flex Library project for the ActionScript
3 Astra source and rebuild the SWC.

  • Mac OS X 10.7 extremely slow but no CPU activity?!!

    Hi.  I recently ran monolingual and installed Sophos antivirus.  I think the problem started after Sophos free antivirus for Mac.  But now the computer frequently displays the spinning wheel but Activity Monitor shows no CPU activity.  While this happens I can not do much with the computer.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Okay.  I finally got enough nerves to start terminating processes and after a while the computer was responsive enough to uninstall the Sophos Antivirus and that fixed the problem.

  • PS S6 weird CPU activity!

    So here's my long story short:
    Recently I've bought an old HP XW8600 Workstation (dual Xeon [email protected], 8GB DDR2, 2x146GB SAS [email protected], nVidia Quadro FX4600).
    The price was about $550. I know that for this amount of money, in the US you could buy an i5 2500k system, but here in Eastern Europe (Romania), you need at least $1000 for such a system. So I think I made a good deal on this one.... but... yes there's a BUT!
    I've got an old intel Quad [email protected], 4GB DDR2, Radeon HD3870... so the workstation should have been a fairly nice upgrade to my current system.
    The dual Xeon CPUs setup almost doubles the computational power, at least in benchmarks.
    And considering the MacPro's run dual Xeons, I've figured, "hey, this machine will blow Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 out of the water!".
    Boy... was I wrong!
    Both PS and AI CS6 on Windows have a strange way of dealing with more than CPU 4 Cores.
    To my surprise, the HP Workstation was performing slower than my old Q6600 in both PS and AI CS6.
    Checking out the CPU activity, I've discovered something strange... and here's an image to illustrate this:
    I've noticed the same CPU activity on quad i7 CPUs with HypeThreading Enabled which act like 8 cores when processing information.
    This ONLY APPLIES IN WINDOWS btw!!!
    Repeating the same test on OSX Lion 10.7.4 (hackintosh), using the same multiprocessor system (HP XW8600 Workstation) with all the 8 cores Enabled, they all work at the same time and almost at the same intensity, performing much better than on Winwdows.
    So either Windows 7 is doing a ****** job at spreading the threads among the CPU's Cores, or Adobe did a ****** job at optimizing Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 (Windows Version) for 8 Cores systems. By the way Adobe Premier CS6 uses all my 8 Cores flawlessly working smooth as silk (well done Adobe!).
    I would be glad if someone from Adobe would reply here cause this is a serious problem... and I'm not willing to throw my workstation out the window yet!
    Thought if I'm out of options, I will try to selling for the same price I've bought and somehow buy a current generation PC.
    I'll end saying that it's not fair to have all this computational power and not being able to use it in PS and AI CS6!!!
    And oh yeah... I've tried every possible variation of the Performance Settings. I've even bought a new video card (Radeon HD6870) and a new 120 GB SSD. Still no improvement in the performance on the HP Workstation.
    Any ideas???

    Bravo for posting the file and specific settings!  That way I can try it and see if I see the same things you do, and you can judge whether your system is performing as others do...
    For me:
    At 30%: 
    I can drag each test group around interactively, and I'd estimate the frame rate at in excess of 15 FPS, since it's not quite "motion picture smooth", but too fast to count.  Estimated frame rate of drags:
    test group 1:  15 FPS
    test group 2:  20 FPS
    test group 3:  24 FPS
    Test group 2 seems to be a bit smoother than test group 1, and test group 3 seeming a bit smoother still than test group 2.  Though I have some practice at this, at this speed it's simply hard to judge the frame rates with any accuracy, so the above numbers are rough estimates.
    At 40%:
    Drag lag becomes noticeable, but not intrusive.   Estimated frame rates:
    test group 1:  5 FPS
    test group 2:  8 FPS
    test group 3:  10 FPS
    At 100%:
    Drag lag for test group 1 becomes slightly distracting.  Estimated frame rates:
    test group 1: 3 to 4 FPS
    test group 2: 8 FPS (notably as fast or faster than at 40%)
    test group 3: 12 FPS (notably as fast or faster than at 40%)
    I also tested the same file under the same conditions with Photoshop versions CS5 and CS4 on the same system. 
    Performance was virtually the same at all different zoom levels with Photoshop CS5.
    Photoshop CS4 could not open the file without a warning ("This file uses an unsupported blending mode.  Substitute normal mode?").  Once I hit [OK] I saw higher frame rates with all groups and with all zoom levels except test group 1 at 40% zoom, where the frame rate was the same.
    Both older versions of Photoshop updated the display in a choppy, tiled manner, which was visually distracting, while Photoshop CS6 updated the display cleanly all at once after each drag operation.
    You mention the layer thumbnails as being important, but I didn't see any difference with thumbnails on or off, or with the different settings for Thumbnail Contents.  Note that there have been specific changes to Photoshop 13.0.1 in this area.
    Things for you to try:
    Make sure you're updated to 13.0.1.
    In Edit - Preferences - Performance, try setting your Cache Levels to 2 and your Cache Tile Size to 1024K or 1028K.  I find the large tile size adds a few frames per second boost to the drag rates.

  • Photos and high CPU activity

    Importing photos the CPU runs fast and my laptop runs hot. Checking Activity Monitor, Photos App pushes the CPU well beyond 100%.  com.apple.photos.videoconversionservice does the same. Apparently the 'video conversion' is a default setting for importing videos to enable storing videos in iCloud. However, I don't use iCloud for storing any photos or videos and I don't want to...so this conversion is completely unecessary as well as annoying and a waste of time. It can't be doing my laptop much good either running it at a very hot temperature. I've read others having a similar problem but have yet to see any concrete solutions to the problem. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Thanks for the advice- What do I look for in the console log?
    From Mac Help:
    *Viewing system messages*
    While your system performs tasks, it sends messages between applications, processes, and the operating system. Some of these messages are displayed, but most are not displayed because they can be too detailed and technical. If you are a programmer debugging software, or are troubleshooting a problem with a service technician, messages related to the problem may be located system logs. To view these messages you can use the Console utility located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
    For more information, Open Console, and then choose Help > Console Help.
    Click on the all logs in the source pane on the left - most of the stuff is impossible to figure out but over temperature warnings are clear as is the sleep message that follows it
    Also, I'm not sure if it is overheating- it shows high CPU activity even when I first start using my computer (after hours of non use), so it is not hot at all- can it still overheat?
    It is possible - the way to find out is to read the log and see what it says
    Have you inspected the air vents including the one on the back under the stand?

  • Cpu Activity

    Hello everyone,
    My server is very slow.How is it possible to check the cpu activity (or charge) ???
    Thanks for your time.
    Vincent

    The Solaris distribution includes a program that gives you a pretty good idea on what's using your CPUs. From an xterm, type:
    prstat
    You can also use vmstat, i.e.,
    vmstat 5
    but it's output needs deciphering as to what the values mean.
    Other posting indicated to use iostat but this reports I/O statistics, not CPU usage. sar will do but, again, you need to decipher it's output.
    Good luck

  • Phantom CPU activity

    Hi, Hope you can help!
    MBP, 10.6.8 fully updated software.
    Noticed the machine was running a little hot and battery life was down.  Closed all programs and checked activiy monitor:  CPU idle has a minimum vlaue of about 98% but every few seconds takes an excursion down to 48% were it remains for a few seconds before recovering briefly to 98%.  Looking at the list of CPU usage by process, I see that activity monitor is using about 2% but nothing else.  Even when the CPU idle is 48%, nothing is appearing on the list as using any cpu.  Meanwhile the computer is running hot with audible fan activity.
    Console messages don't show any obvious explanation.  Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    Its now 12.07 and the CPU continues to work.  Help!

    OK, X423424X came closest to the mark...  I forgot about starting in safe mode.  I believe it forces a directory check, and I don't know what this means exactly, but I have found it to cure problems in the past.  In this case, the laptop began running cool again after starting in safe mode. 
    However, I still have the phantom CPU activity:  ie. the activity monitor shows only 49% CPU idle, but nothing in the list appears to acount for the missing 51% of the CPU capacity, see attached images below.
    It is noteworthy that when I boot off the Lion partition this problem is even worse, and the excursions down to low idle values are more frequent and last much longer.

  • Tool for monitoring CPU activity

    hi all
    is there any tool beside "top" that can monitor CPU activity in mi-range servers as SUNFIRE 4800 ?
    Because i need time slot to know the peak time of the CPU and its activity in real time
    P.S : i have Solaris 8 and Solaris 9
    Regards
    Timely

    Just to amuse yourself run sar and mpstat and prstat/top against the same time-slice on a multi-proc machine. I think you'll be surprised at how inaccurate sar is.
    Some portions of Solaris are very old and don't get updated. sar appears to be one of them.

  • HS-950 Buzz noise on CPU activity.

    Hey there,
    I just bought the HS-950 USB headphones, and I am trying to get them to work on my Windows 7 x64 system. I installed the beta Win7 drivers, yet I still get noise in the headphones on CPU / computer activity (opening directories, scrolling web pages). This sometimes stops, but comes back when I launch an application that uses the microphone (like Skype, Steam, or even the system sound preferences on the Input pane).
    Is there anythign that can be done about it?
    My system is clean, I have removed all previous drivers, and Device Manager shows that the headphones are running via driver version 1.0.0.640, from Creative, not the built-in Microsoft USB Audio drivers or the old .450 that came on the install CD.

    I have exactly the same problem on my HS-1000 USB headphone.
    Initially I had Vista 32bit, but I had bought Windows 7 for a different pc but decided I would install it on my current PC(64 bit installation).
    Yet the problem still persists.
    Also tried the headphones on a Windows XP system and same problem.
    Now I live in an old house that doesn't have "grounded" electricity so I tried them on a laptop and same problem persists. To be even more sure I went to a friends house that's grounded and same problem again!
    Why did I try this ground thingy, well my guitar amplifyer makes a buzz noise as well when I don't put a copper cable between it and my radiator ( e.g. ground it )
    Anyway, to SeregB, I would suggest you contact the store as soon as you possibly can and send it on RMA and try and get a replacement because it seems Creative doesn't know (or want to know) what the problem is.

  • How to set Preferences such that new tabs open to same page as active when Command-T was hit?

    On opening a new tab, the tab by default opens to thumbnails based on recent history. A la Safari, I want the new tab to open *to same page as was active when Command-T was hit*. What are the specific steps to take, to set as the default (preference), new pages to open to "Same page"? ("Same page" is Safari's check box in its Preferences.)
    Note, I have navigated available Mozilla Support, and using about:config have reset browser.newtab.url so that the new tab appears blank (discontinuing tracking of recent history for this purpose).
    Note, more importantly, I have found this Support Forum article, which, though challengingly written, has given me a temporary solution:
    * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/891635
    (The temporary solution for the Mac OS is to Command-click on the "Reload current page" icon in the url/Address box in the browser toolbar, which opens a new tab in the same window.)
    However, I would still like to set this as a permanent Preference, and would ask someone communicate a solution to me. Cheers, LeProf

    ''LeProf_7272 wrote:''
    if I can possibly just create a new config line
    You can't, which is why I suggested the above add-ons. There is no option in the UI or hidden preference in Firefox that can duplicate a tab whenever you open a new tab. ''browser.newtab.url'' can only be set to a fixed address, not whatever address happens to be open in the current tab.
    The are only two built-in methods for duplicating a tab:
    # Hold down the '''Option''' key and drag the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
    # Hold down the '''Command''' key and click the Reload button in the address bar.

  • Help! How to e-mail a PDF (from Pages) with active web links!

    I have been working on this for hours without any success! I would be so grateful for a brainy Apple wiz to help me out. I am creating a Pages document that has active web links in it. My goal is to e-mail my document with the active web links in it.
    So - If I export my Pages doc as a PDF to my desktop, the links work great! However - the moment I put that PDF into an email and send it the links become inactive. Is there any way to create a Pages document with web links > Export it as a PDF > Then mail with active (clickable) links? I have tried many times without success.
    If the answer to my question is no, does anyone have a tip for where I can create a PDF and mail it with active links? Will any of the Adobe programs work for this type of thing?
    Thanks so much!!
    Kristen

    Using Pages '09 v4.2.
    I just tested this. Assumption: You have the “Windows friendly attachments” checked in the attachments panel.
    Your Pages document is open. The web links are active. You want to get it into Mail.
    From the Pages menu bar, choose Share > Send Via Mail > PDF.
    Mail will open with a compose window. Your PDF will be attached as a full view document. You see the links present in the PDF.
    Now, click near the web links. This shows your PDF in blue. Now right-button click, and choose View as Icon from the pop-up panel.
    Now mail it to yourself on another account that Mail can open.
    You will see the web links in the PDF.
    Right-button click on a link and from the pop-up menu, choose Open with Safari.
    If you chose Quick Look, it would pop open the PDF and offer to open it further in your default PDF viewer. In my case, it is Adobe Reader.
    If Reader opens this PDF from the Mail attachment, the web links remain active.
    Does this solve your issue?

  • Display community pages under active community tab in left vert nav

    Hi, I'm trying to display the community pages in an "active" Comunity under the given Community tab in left vertical nav. I simply need to find out how I can access the community id from the HTMLAnchor so I can compare this community id to commP.GetCurCommunityID(). I tried calling url.GetAccessKey() and url.GetID(), these do not get current community id - both throw a NumberFormatException when I try Integer.parseInt on the String (because they return null).
    This is the CListURLMediator I am looping through:
    while(mediator.Next())
    HTMLAnchor url = (HTMLAnchor) mediator.GetEntry();
    AddBgImageListRow(table, url);
    // TODO: add page links under ACTIVE community link
    /*if (NavPageType.COMMUNITY == m_model.GetCurNavPageType())
    CommunityNavPage commP = (CommunityNavPage) m_model.GetPageSpecificMethods();
    //url.GetAccessKey() or url.GetID() do not get current community id - both throw NumberFormatException
    if (commP.GetCurCommunityID() == Integer.parseInt(url.GetAccessKey()))
    CypressWriteCommPagesTable(table, col, commP);
    Any ideas?
    Thanks, Victor

    The mediators will only give you pre-built constructs with the URL. But, you can use the ICPListEntryIterator object to enumerate over it in the same way you iterate over a mediator. ICPListEntryIterator.GetEntry returns a ListEntry class, which has a GetCommunityID method.

  • Vimeo video, NOT embedded on page, rather activated by button

    On my page, I have 4 buttons (www.redeyefilmco.com) I want to click each button and have a different video open up in a lightbox style video player. Currently the site opens a lightbox and plays a quicktime file. The plan is to replace all the videos with videos hosted on Vimeo.
    If you go to www.imetwithanaccident.com you'll see what I want to do. Click on the word "TRAILER" to see what happens. I do NOT want to embed the videos into the page. I do not want to create a rotating lightbox or anything like that. I am not to create a new looking website.
    Can I do this directly within Muse? Or do I have to go to an outside editor for this?

    Here are the screen shots that I see. It sort of appears that there are different states for the trigger image (as noticed on the right bottom corner of the screen.) You can see that I can select the various states either at the top left where it says "Trigger: active" or at the bottom right on the tab "States". However, when I preview in a browser, there button doesn't have different states.

  • Lync 2011 (Mac) + Outlook 2011 (Mac) = High CPU Activity

    Let's set the groundwork:
    Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)
    
Lync 2011 14.0.4 (also seen with 14.0.2 and 14.0.3)
    Outlook 2011 14.3.1
    When Lync and Outlook are run concurrently Lync 2011 will, after a brief period of time, report extremely high CPU utilization (over 150% CPU on a Core i7 CPU). At the same time, Outlook 2011 will report high (40% and above) CPU usage. Threads used by Lync
    2011 will go up to about 85 (from 24 when running by itself).
    During this time Lync will remain responsive, but Outlook 2011 will be effectively unresponsive (command-Q will quit Outlook after a delay of 10-15 seconds). Inspecting the Lync or Outlook process via Activity Monitor will show abnormally large numbers of Mach
    Messages, System Calls, and Context Switches.
    Quitting either Lync or Outlook will return CPU utilization and other indicators to normal levels.
    This behavior has been going on for several months. It's not a crashing issue, but it makes it impossible to run Lync and Outlook at the same time.
    I've deleted and rebuilt ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/. I've done a clean re-install of Mac OS X on my Mac. I've confirmed that another user in my company is seeing the same behavior on their computer. I've also read the other threads here: this is not the
    "I had 10K messages in my Deleted Items folder" error - I've long cleared that. My total Exchange Server storage is 610MB, with the largest single subfolder at 100MB (1,569 items). Inbox is typically between 75 and 300 items, with no subfolders.
    No other processes report abnormal CPU usage during this time. This includes Microsoft Database Daemon and mdworker (Spotlight). I am using Activity Monitor to view All Processes, not simply My Processes.
    This is not transitory. Once the high CPU utilization phase begins, it's been seen to go on for as long as 20 minutes (at which point I gave up and quit processes) - so it's not just a "spike" from an indexing process.
    I had high hopes for the Lync 14.0.4 update, but the issue remains. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Looks like it is known issue for the Lync and outlook 2011 for mac. Hope the next update can fix it.
