Safari goes to 100% CPU and stays there on certain websites
I got a new computer a month or two ago (a Powerbook 1.67), and used apple's migration assistant to transfer all my stuff over from that comp to this one. Ever since I've started using the comp, when I use safari to load certain pages or parts of pages, such as www.mapquest.com (when I try to type in the directions from/to box, or try to load recent searches) or www.orbitz.com (any time I'm on the results screen once I've searched for a flight or some such), the CPU load goes to 100%, and stays there until I close the tab with that site in it (even with safari in the background), and anything else I try to do until the tab is closed runs like molasses. This definitely did not ever happen with my old Powerbook 867, but I don't recall installing any new safari extensions or plug-ins since I got the new computer, so I'm somewhat mystified as to what is causing it. Do you guys have any thoughts as to what it might be, or suggestions as to how best to go about figuring it out?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Safari has been known to cause cpu usage to spike. If nothing else, report the pages to Apple using "Report Bugs to Apple" under the Safari menu.
One of the Safari issues in the OS X 10.4.4 update was:
Addresses an issue in which some websites, such as www.cbsnews.com, could cause CPU usage to spike unnecessarily, or cause Safari to stop responding, unless Safari's Enable JavaScript preference was deselected.
It is possible that they didn't get it completely fixed.
I have also noticed that Safari slows down after being open for an extended period or if I have tons of tabs open, although it is not as bad as it once was. Additionally, regardless of anything else, it does appear that some sites slow down Safari's performance and/or spike the cpu usage until I close that tab. (I've had this happen to me with Firefox as well, by the way).

I am about to go get my 4th iphone 4s since November! Up in the left corner where it shows your signal strength, it goes into searching mode and stays there. Kills my battery. While in searching, no calls can be made/recieved, no internet, etc. This one has lasted the longest-I got it December 23. Any ideas out there?
Both. The first two, I did use my itunes. The guy at the apple store said that could be the problem. The last time they gave me a new phone and SIM card, and the tech said it wouldnt be the itunes. Just to be safe, I never connected this phone to the itunes until last night-after it started searching- to save everything since I'm sure they will be replacing the phone today. But hey, thanks for the suggestions. I'm about at my wits end with Apple!! Especially since i added a third line to my account just so I could get an iphone back.

When I email a photo it goes to my Outbox and stays there never getting sent.
When I select a photo and click Email Photo i fill in the email address and subjet and click send.
The email goes to my Outbox and just stays there and does not get sent.
Do I have some settin set wrong or what.Yes I can send other emails without attachments. If I send another email with Pic it will also go the the outbox and stay there until I delete them.
I rebooted like you said and the email was sent with the attachment and I recieved it on at my other email address.
I then went back to my Photos and selected another Pic and emailed it out and it seams to work again.
Do we need to reboot the Ipad ocassionally?
Thanks for your help. -
Mail goes to 100% CPU and becomes unresponsive on one e-mail
Until this morning, I've had no problems with Mail. A business associate sent me an e-mail as a reply to a conversation spanning several weeks with a small PDF attachment. When I went to read the e-mail on my MacBook Pro, Mail became unresponsive with the "loading panel" twirling in the e-mail pane. CPU load went to 100% and remained there. I found that if I clicked on another mailbox, eventually (minutes later) it would become selected and CPU load would drop back down to normal. Tried it several times with the same results.
My mail server filters out spam and forwards all e-mails to my gmail account so that I have all of my e-mails on my iPhone. I found the offending e-mail on my iPhone and found that it opened just fine and the attachment opened fine too. Thinking that the e-mail had somehow become corrupted, I deleted it from my MacBook Pro then forwarded the message from my iPhone to the account used by my MacBook Pro. When I went to read the forwarded e-mail on my MBP, the same problem occurred. From what I can see in my iPhone there's nothing unusual about the e-mail, just some text and the small PDF attachment. I can open other e-mails with PDF attachments fine. It's just this one e-mail that gives Mail a problem.
Here's what I've done so far:
Using Disk Utility, I did a repair on my MBP volume - no problems found.
I did a permissions repair - nothing unusual.
I did a rebuild on all of my mail folders - everything went okay.
I disabled and uninstalled Letter Opener Pro (the only plug-in I use with Mail)
I disabled Norton.
Still no joy. I realize I can just delete the e-mail and go on with life but ideally I would like to be able to solve the problem so it doesn't happen again. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you solve it?Safari has been known to cause cpu usage to spike.

Question? When I try to send out email on my ad address, it goes to the outbox and stays there. The message is something like, you have exceeded your limit on messages so your message will be stored in the outbox. I don't send more than 30 emails a day, and i use two other email addresses. What can I do?
Change the password on that e-mail account. It's possible that your account has been hacked/spoofed and spammers have used it to blast out junk, leaving you to 'pay the price'. If it's one where you can contact the company, contact them and ask them what's going on. (if this is g-mail, yahoo, hotmail, don't bother, there's no way to contact any sort of support)

Have installed, uninstalled itunes on xp machine and tried all the fixes given in the discussion groups, plus cnet and other internet fixes.....nothing works. After installation of itunes cpu usage goes to 100 percent and itunes stops. Cpu stays at 100 percent until I uninstall itunes. By the number of posts on the internet, I can't believe Apple hasn't addressed this issue with a fix.
I had the same problem but this worked for me.
Get to a dos command prompt and type: netsh winsock reset
You will need to reboot your computer but it fixed tocpu 100% issue.
Good luck -
IPhone 4 won't stay on 3G. Goes to E and stays there.
I had an iPhone 3G. Not the 3GS, just the 3G. I really liked that phone and couldn't wait for the "upgrade" to see what it could do. I got the 4 and sold my 3G. So did my wife.
Well, my wife has no problems with hers, but I'm having issues with connectivity, reception, and lack of 3G coverage. My phone starts on 3G, but within a day or so, it switches over to E... and stays there. The internet and all of my apps seem to move VERY slowly. Pages actually load, and load, and load... finally coming up. If I turn the phone completely off and then back on again, it goes to 3G coverage and I'm moving along at a good speed, although I can't really say it's any faster than my old 3G. But then within a day or so, I'm back on E and back to sluggish.
I've dropped more calls since getting this phone than I did the entire time I owned my 3G. Made sure I had the latest software (I did), and have been trying to figure it out.
Any suggestions? Anyone else having this problem? I don't think it sounds like the reception problems others were talking about, as this one does it whether I'm holding it or laying it on a counter, or whether it's in the case or not. It always goes to E and gets sluggish.
Wishing I had my 3G back...
All the best,
GlennTake it to Apple. They will diagnose it, check your settings, etc. -- and replace it if defective. We have four in our family and no such problems, and no problems at all.

Has anyone seen a problem where keychain goes into 100% CPU mode for a while? During this period, it's generally unresponsive. What seems to trigger it is editting an existing password: I can erase a character or two, but then at some point, it just goes wild. It does recover eventually (a couple of minutes); a Quit fails, but a Force Quit works, after which it comes back up with no problems (though re-trying the change often triggers the problem again). Quite annoying.
I'm seeing this under 10.4.10, though it was there in several earlier 10.4.x releases. (I'm not sure how long, but I recall looking at several setsw of release notes to see if a fix was reported.) This is on a PowerPC.Safari has been known to cause cpu usage to spike. If nothing else, report the pages to Apple using "Report Bugs to Apple" under the Safari menu.

Why does my scroll slider go to bottom, and stay there, and not allow me to scroll upward?
I can open Thunderbird (v.31.4.0) and use it successfully. But if I close it and then open it again (without turning the computer off) the scroll slider goes all the way to the bottom and stays there. It resists me if I try and scroll upward and immediately returns to the bottom of the scroll bar. I also notice that the cursor in the window in Thunderbird begins to constantly travel from left to right and then repeats and repeats (forever).
Closing and reopening Thunderbird does not correct this problem once it has begun occurring. The only solution is to shut down the computer and reboot. Then I can use Thunderbird again normally -- for one session only. If I close it and then reopen it the same problem with the scroll bar occurs. This first began happening intermittently (every couple weeks) beginning two months ago and this week it began happening every day.
I'm using Win 7 64 bit on a Dell Optiplex 780 with 4mb ram, Intel Core 2 Quad CPU.
By the way, the same thing is happening with Mozilla Firefox as well. I just began a few weeks ago and is still intermittent.
(It does not happen with Chrome or with gmail).
Are there settings I've somehow screwed up? Is this a bug?
(FYI: I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox within the past week for a different reason and that made no difference).I have the same problem, everytime i click in tabs in the iTunes Store, it keep saying " The item you requested is not available in the U.K" ?
Why does this happend? I have just made a clean install of Mountain Lion. -

My FCPX boots up and then says restoring windows and stays there and never completely boots. I've tried everything. Any thoughts?
Please state what you have tried - there's no point in people here wasting their valuable (own) time trying to help you, only to find you've already tried what they are suggesting.
Have you tried trashing your preferences?
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then if they get corrupted you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.
Can't guarantee it, but it's worth a try.
If that doesn't work, move your projects and events (if you have any) to new folders so that FCP X doesn't find them, then relaunch the application. If it launches OK, there's a very good chance one of your projects or events is corrupt or one of the files in an event is corrupt.
Quit the app, then move one event or project at a time back to the original folder and launch FCP X agian - keep going until you find the cause.

JDK1.3: 100% CPU and total hanging up
Our environemt is HP-UX with 4 CPU, 2.5Gb of memory. Java is 1.3.13 (latest release). All necessary Unix patches installed.
We perform a load test over our application server with 40 users only. The test is pretty simple and doesn't deserve to be explained here (it uses no special system resources). In an unpredictable moment the java process utilizes 100% CPU and doesn't react to 'kill -3' but to 'kill -9' only. The problem is it happens whenever it wishes. No logic behind it. Every test loop takes about 1 minute to complete and the server gets stucked sometimes after 10 mins and sometimes after 3 houres of work. Changing java heap parameters and playing with new/old generation ratio also doesn't lead to any conclusion. Sometimes it happens before full gc but other settings allow full gc to happen every minute and the server works for hours.
What can it be? Any ideas? Any directions of investingation the problem?What can it be? Any ideas? Any directions of investingation the problem?An endless do-nothing loop. I've seen HotSpot optimize such a loop to a single "jump-to-self" CPU instruction. HotSpot doesn't know how to insert a suspension safepoint into a loop that consists of a single instruction. When GC next kicks in it suspends every thread (including the signal dispatcher, which is responsible for a thread dump) but the nop-loop thread continues with free reign of the CPU.
In my case the loop looked like the following. A thread is started running this class, later another thread passes it some data by calling put(). There is no synchronization so the former thread is not obliged to see the effects of any other thread. The optimizer legally considered this loop to be do-nothing.
class ... implements Runnable {
private Object data;
public void put(Object data) {
this.data = data;
public void run() {
while (true) {
if (data == null) continue;
// process data
}Since you can't get a thread dump it's very hard to pinpoint the problematic piece of code (unless you have Sun's poprietary tools that restore Java state from a core file).
If your code base is reasonably small, review it thoroughly for what can be an endless do-nothing loop. Another approach is to incrementally insert System.err.println("") into suspicious loops. This will add a call to native code and thus a suspension safepoint. Once you no longer can reproduce the problem, you must have hit the problemmatic loop. Go back and review it carefully. -
Hello,
According to the ColdFusion Forums my problem is not a new one but I still want
to post it with the hope to get some kind of answer.
I'm are running the following system:
CF 4.5 Enterprise Server
SiteMinder 6.0
IIS 5.0
MS SqlServer 2005
Both the CF and database server are Win2000 SP4.
About every one hours the CF server uses 100% CPU and from than on it is
impossible to log into the application. The site is still available though.
After restarting the CF service everything works fine until.....
I do not know what triggers this but I suspect it has something to do with
SiteMinder and logging onto the application.
The site has to go live on Monday so you can imagine the pressure to get
this fixed before the weekend.
Greetings,
JilaniJilani, you mention that this seems connected to SiteMinder. Do you mean you have your own version of SiteMinder, separate from the built-in one that came with CF 4 and 5? I wonder if there could be a conflict between them. Why are you using the full SiteMinder? And do you really need it?
More curious is that you say this spike happens every hour. Can you confirm if it's every 67 minutes, specifically? If so, then I would assert that this could be a problem related to the client variable purge process, which I discuss here:
http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/10/4/bots_and_spiders_and_poor_CF_perfo rmance
But that may not be the issue if simply enabling/disabling the siteminder service will immediately recreate your problem....unless somehow the DB used by SiteMinder is the same DB used for client variables. Do you have any datasources listed in the CF Admin page for client variables? Any chance there's a connection between them and siteminder?
/charlie
PS This whole issue of client variables and how they can hurt you unexpectedly is something I'll dicuss this Thursday at noon US EDT, when I present "Clients and Sessions and Crashes, Oh My", to the online ColdFusion Meetup: www.coldfusionmeeetup.com. -
I do NOT like when I click "Find" that it opens in a separate pop-up window. I liked it being at the bottom left of the page and staying there. It's irksome the way it is. Would you please put it back on the bottom left so it will stay open. It is so much easier.
Also, it is a little irksome that Firefox automatically uploaded the new 9.0 version. I was purposefully not uploading it. I thought it was loading updates to 8.0. You need to add more detail and have a way to give us an option not to update when the pop-up appears.The Find bar is still at the bottom of the browser window, just above the Add-on Bar if you have it set to appear. No change with it in Firefox 9.0.
