QTKitserver-(703) is sucking up all my CPU power

Lately I've been having trouble watching videos on YouTube. They stop and stutter a lot, to the point where I have to give up. At first I discovered that The Google had put me in their HTML5 beta program unbeknownst to me. That was causing some problems as well so I opted out of it for the time being. I finally fired up Activity Viewer and saw that the process called QTKitsever -(703) Safari Web Content is maxing out my CPU bringing my Macbook Pro to a screaching halt. (note I checked a second time and the -(703) had changed to -(812) for some reason)
From what I've been able to find, this process seems to be used to help QT X play QT 7 video, although I'm not sure if this is the case.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks.

I had the exact same problem and this completely solved it for me. stupid html5 trial on youtube ><
"Obviously all users experiencing laggy youtube playback and QTKitserver proccess craziness are on the buggy youtube html5 trial.
Go to this page:
http://www.youtube.com/html5
Click - Leave the HTML5 trial
This will put you back to the original flash player.
BUT you can still use ClickToFlash extension for Safari to enable a html5 player which works like charm."

Why can't I make Lightroom use all the CPU-Power (all cores) available for generating Previews?

Dear Lightroom Team,
I've been a Lightroom user since the very first Beta, and I am truly happy with the work you deliver. It changed my way of editing forever, and you guys keep improving it.
Yet there is that one question that bothers me, and that i'm looking for an answer for.
My Workflow has the generate Previews checkbox checked by standard. I usually import between 150 and 2000 photos at once, on occaions it can be up to 5000 photos. Generating Previews always takes a significant amount of time, and Lightroom is only using 25% of my CPU Power while doing so. (using a MacBook Pro 8,2)
I understand the concept, that only using 25% CPU enables me to use the computer while waiting for the Previews. But most of the time I just grab myself a cup of coffee, do the dishes or other stuff, while waiting for the Previews. Usually I rund out of things to do, because it takes ages to Process all the photos. So I would really love to make Lightroom use ALL the cpu power possible.
I'm sure you guys have spent a lot of thoughts while coding this and have a very good answer handy. Looking forward reading it!
all the best,
Wolfgang

On my four-year old Windows 7 i7-860 system LR4.4.1 takes ~0.5 sec. per Canon 5D MKII 21Mp raw image to render 'Standard-Sized' previews with LR Catalog Settings 'Standard Preview Size' set to '2048' pixels. I consider that pretty fast!
I usually build 1:1 full-size previews on import, which takes ~5.0 sec. per image. Processor utilization varies between 15-50% for Standard-Sized previews and 15-65% for 1:1 previews. I consider this pretty slow, but it doesn't stop me from working on the images inside LR's Library and Develop modules.
I wait until 'Copy and import photos' has completed and can see Preview Building has started. LR doesn't slow-down much even with the 1:1 preview building going on in the background. Have you tried working in LR during the preview building (i.e. sorting, rating, keywording, and Develop adjustments)?

Multi-select LOV's hang form and use 100% CPU power

Hello,
We are using Designer 6i (6.5.52.1.0) and Headstart 6.5
In one of our forms we are using 6 Multi-select LOV's.
When we click the Cancel or Ok button (included through QMS_MSEL_LOV_BUTTONS), or hit Enter query in one of the ML_... blocks the form hangs and starts using all the CPU-power. I've tested this locally (c/s) and through the web (iAS), same result...
I already rebuilt the LOV's but the problem isn't solved.
We've got other forms with one or two multi-select LOV's, and these work fine.
Has anyone experienced this behaviour before, and what is the cure?
Thanks in advance!
Wouter

Wouter,
If you are running against Solaris, you could be running into the following:
Headstart applications that run via webforms on a Sun Solaris application server, suffer again from bug 1985903. This bug was spotted and solved a time ago and seemed to be solved at next
releases of Forms 6i. Now, on Solaris the bug is introduced again.
Description
===========
1. When using a multi-select LOV (which is displayed in a modal dialog
window), you select the records you want, press OK, and the application exits.
2. When using a shuttle control to move records from left to right or vice
versa, you select the records you want, press '>' to move them, and the
application exits.
This occurs in Forms 6.0.8.13.0 and 6.0.8.14.1. It did NOT occur in prior
releases. This is some kind of forms bug.
Workaround
==========
For some reason the call to procedure renumber in qms$msel.process_records
causes the application to exit. If you copy the code from renumber to all the
places from which it is called, it works fine.
- open qmslib65.pll in Form Builder
- open package body qms$msel
- find procedure process_records and define a local variable l_recno of type
number.
- find local procedure renumber and copy the body of this procedure
(everything
after 'begin' and before 'exception').
- replace each call to 'renumber;' with the copied code.
A new version of qms$msel package body is available on iXchange for download.
See Headstart Oracle Designer 6i, Bugs and Fixes.
Hope this helps,

Opening VI and consuming 100% CPU power

I am trying to debug my VI. The first few times the VI ran well but suddenly the VI hang up. I have no choice but to end the LabView process using the Task Manager. When I try to restart this VI again, it fails to open and the Task Manager indicates that the LabView program is now consuming 100% of the CPU time but still fail to open this VI. Looks like it is entering into an infinite loop. I cannot fix anything for I cannot go into my VI to change anything. LabView just consumes all the CPU power and do nothing. What went wrong?
Regards,
Larry

Okay. That is very strange. I am seeing the same behavior. (I have LV 8.2)
When I first downloaded the VI, it opened just fine. If I did a saveas, closed the VI, and reopened the copy, I got 99% CPU usage. I reopened the one from the message, no problem. I left that one open and tried opening the one I had saved. It said I already had one in memory by that name do I want to view the one in memory or replace? I said replace. When it opened to the block diagram, everything was okay. But when I clicked on the window to view the front panel, that is when the CPU usage jumped up again.
So somehow the problem is associated with the FP. Nothing looks particular wrong about your code. The question is how did you manage to get a copy of the file that isn't causing problems when you open it?
I think you will want to recreate the VI from scratch. You are able to view a copy to see whay you have which is good. And it doesn't look too complicated.
What is interesting is that if I delete everything from the VI's block diagram (leaving nothing apparent on the FP), save, close, reopen, I still get the extreme CPU Usage. It seems confined to LV, as I am still able to switch over and working within the browser to answer this message.

Mail is jamming/bogged down and using up all my processing power.

Help! My mail program is ruining my PowerBook G4's ability to run anything. I thought my internet connection was slow/faulty, but then realized (upon turning my CPU Monitor on,) that it's my Mail program that is doing strange things. I've installed all new software, and don't have anything but mail and safari running, and still, Mail is taking up ALL available CPU power when I click on any message with a photo or attachment. If I turn Mail off, all other programs function normally again......but I NEED Mail!
My computer has 27+ GB of space available, if that means anything to you techies (and I say that with admiration.)
SO....anyone else experiencing these problems?

Do you have any Mail plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Mail? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/StartupItems/
/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
Also, open System Preferences, and go to Accounts > Login Items. What do you see there?
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Why is FF sucking up so much CPU time & Why can I not preform a search on FAQ's?

Why is FF sucking up so much CPU time &
Why can I not preform a search on FAQ's?
FF is sucking up way too much CPU time from 30 to 98% for great/long periods of time on a Sony Vaio laptop platform running P4 CPU w/XP prof w/SP3 & 2Gb RAM.
Why can I not preform a search on FAQ's so that might not have repeat a question that might have been asked previously?
Searching 24xx pages is not my idea of how to spend precious time to find an answer that I am looking for.

Safe mode or turning off the plugins does not work with this bug. If they are still installed firefox will open plugincontainer, the plugins need to be uninstalled or disabled at OS level.
"''clearing Cookies will start an instance of plugin-container for almost all of the plugins installed on the system, regardless of enable/disable state for each one.''"

Safari takes up all the cpu..why?????

I'v got like 10 tabs open in my safari and it takes up about 98% of my cpu so the battery gets really hot. Even if I cut it down to 2 tabs it will still require almost all of cpu...
could anyone help me to solve this problem?
thanks alot!

Not to be argumentative but just because it's well-known that Safari likes to hog the cpu doesn't mean that it's not a problem to be solved. I can solve the problem by NOT using Safari, but I'd prefer to use it because I like Safari better than the alternatives except for the problem with cpu usage.
This is a problem that needs to be fixed. I've tried lots of great suggestions that I've read about in this forum, but none of them have a lasting effect. The best that I can come up with is to restart Safari every once in a while -- not a solution, but it allows me to use the app for some time before it starts to hog the cpu again.

Why Lightroom keeps using 30% CPU power all the time?

Hello all,
I am relatively new to LIghtRoom.
I started working on a new set of photos (400 app.). I opened it as new directory.
Since then, all the time I work on theses pictures Lightroom keeps using app. 30% of CPU time.
The over all time I spent on these photos is estimated to be more then 30 hours (yes, I am slow and open each in Photoshop while Lightroom is still opened). So I guess Lightroom finished all the rendering it wished to do.
My question is why and what it keeps calculating and is there a way to stop it?
System configuration:
Single core Intel Pentium 4 CPU, 3.6 GHz (Hyper Threading allowed)
2 GB RAM
NVidia 6600 based graphics card (256 MB)
Both LightRoom 2.3 and PhotoShop CS4 are opened
Please help - the system is slow anyway. It can realy use those extra CPU power.

But I get a warning that changes I made to pictures in LR might not be

The warning badge can be switched off from within View Options panel (Library module View menu) by unchecking the option labelled Unsaved Metadata.
With regard to your question as to whether Lr edits will show in Photoshop and Bridge/ACR - you'll be fine with Photoshop. However, for Lr edits to be visible in Bridge/ACR you will now have to manually save the metadata to each file (i.e. select file(s) then hit Cmd/Ctrl+S to save metadata to file).

Repeating Call Library Function Node uses up all my CPU

Hi,
I'm not very proficient at labview or programming so any help would be gladly appreciated.
I bought a USB Digital Input/output hobby kit (one of those things you build yourself). I have got it made and i have managed to get labview talking to it. It was supplied with a .dll to control it and the digital output works a treat.
However, i want to monitor the ditital input channels (as fast as possible), but if i get a vi to repeatedly call the dll then all my CPU usage goes with it. I don't really understand what the dll does and how exactly labview interacts with it. Can i monitor the digital input channels without using up all my resources?
I wasn't able to attach the dll that i'm using so i renamed it .jpg instead. You can rename it to .dll to look at it if you want.
Thanks

By putting a small wait (of a few milliseconds) you can decrease CPU usage without affecting your performance too badly. However, it really depends on how long a single call to your DLL actually takes. Have you measured this? If it takes, say, a half-second for a single DLL call to execute, then small delays are not going to help because the bulk of the CPU usage is taken up by your DLL.
By the way, a CIN is not likely to help at all. There's not much difference in terms of overhead for a CIN vs Call Library node anyway.

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.

just to let everyone know.
I repaired my disk permissions, and "PRESTO" the syslogd process called down enough for me to find out it was my McAfee VirusScan application.
Now I have to remember when things get funny, repair permissions.

my pc used to work fine yesterday i shut it down and started it today and it kept cycling rebooting at code 15 on debug i changed to bios B and the same thing did clear cmos both ways even removed the battery the same also removed all except cpu and ram but still the same result please help !

I have no idea how you possibly could corrupt bios A if you weren't running Live Update or manually attempted to flash. if bios is really corrupted follow: >>Flashing a Corrupted bios when the alternate bios still works<<

Logic pro x using all of cpu

Downloaded 10.4 Logic Pro X on Oct. 27 and immediately started noticing the HD and or fan coming on frequently. Today I used the activity monitor and sure enough it's clearly Logic take ALL the CPU resources. I increased the buffer as well as removed all peripherals and this did nothing to solve the issue. I did not have this problem with V.9 or V.x when it first came out. I can hear the drive/fan come on for no reason, making a lot of noise (thus impossible to record with mic in the room which was never a problem before) and the activity monitor indicates Logic is the culprit. Then Logic starts acting irratic and buggy and I have to shut everything off and reboot. Even loading a new song with one small audio region, Logic takes all the resources. I have a MAC Book Pro with 8mg and 400gig hd, no additional 3rd party plugins at this point and not running ANY other software while using Logic. I'm a musician, not a a computer expert. It has become impossible to work. I like some of the new features in X and don't want to go back to 9. Solutions anyone? Thanks in advance.

All the automation dissappears too! I regularly have to open backed up sessions to get everything back.
Is anyone else having this issue... or is it just me?
Best wishes,
Jon
