Safari killing CPU

Version 4.0.3 (5531.9) Safari. When watching UTube CPU usage is at 94%-100%. This has never happened before the new recent update. My fans start running and Powerbook g4 gets real hot.
What would be the cause of this. I love my mac and do not planning to upgrade for some time.
The CPU usage using Safari is way to much.............. OMG!!

May be an outdated Adobe Flash plugin. Check here for the version you are using. Current version is 10.0.32.18. Update Flash, if necessary from here. Repair permissions again.
Once Flash is updated - not sure if you are still using 10.5.4, however, if you are, update to 10.5.8 via Software Update, then "repair permissions again".

Safari heavy cpu load

hi all,
since lion i have great cpu-load (activitymonitor) and temp rises around 20°c higher, when safari is open.
safari-webcontent: 65% cpu
safari: 45% cpu
temp.: normal 48°c rises to 68°c !
compared to this, firefox 6.0: 4.3% cpu
so, when safari is not open, all ok, as before ...
thanks for help.
(imac 27" i7)

This happened to me again Friday, first time since the incident I reported here. Check of the system log showed a PMU error just prior to shutdown, also looks the something strange happened to the system clock a few minutes before the shutdown. According to the time stamp on the log entries, the clock was reset back about a month for a few entries, then corrected itself.
Since this time the machine wouldn't come back on, I called apple support who talked me though the PMU reset procedure but nothing worked. However, after letting it sit for several hours, I was able to power it back up. I ran the hardware checks from the install CD, but (of course) it showed no problems.
The mini is now being checked at the apple store in Cambridge (print-outs of the system logs plus a copy of this thread convinced them there was some sort of problem).
(I used the Drive Utility to run the fix permissions and verify disk - nothing unusual showed).

Mail and safari hogging cpu - corrupt preferences?

I am having a major problem when I run Mail or Safari under Mavericks on my iMac - they hog all the CPU making it hard to do other things unless I keep quitting the Mail Web Content or Safari Web Content processes using Activity Monitor. This also has shown up in other discussions on this board and no one seems to have a resolution to the problem. But the curious thing is that I only have the problem on my older iMac, but on my new MacBook Pro that also runs Mavericks, runs Mail with identical settings (and is accessing the same server) and runs Safari with the same bookmarks there is no problem. So the problem must be with something on my iMac that is causing Mail and Safari to keep running these Web Content processes and taking over the CPU.
In the old days I would have assumed it was a corrupt Preferences file and deleted that, but no one has sugggested this. Is this possible? If so, what should be deleted?

While everything had been working fine, this morning I installed the latest update to the operating system and I am back with the same problem (although I am only having Mail Web Content hogging the CPU and not Safari Web content this time). I am posting below some information from the log as you suggested (sorry if it is too much but I don't know what you are looking for). Let me know if there is anything else you need. Thanks for the help LInc.

Safari hogging CPU and won't run

Sorry for posting here, but I couldn't find the Safar for windows section.
I run WinXP (fully up to date), with 2Gb RAM, (with one 1Gb on my gfx card), 1.8Ghz processor
Having updated to the latest Safari I'm finding that it hogs CPU so much so that when I select a page from the top sites screen my PC locks up and I have to use the application manager to kill Safari.
The same thing happens when I try to go to a website just by typing into the address bar.
Anyone having similar issues, or able to help me out as to how to fix it?
Thanks

Try turning off plug-ins, java, javascript
Empty history, caches, etc or go to where XP would store the application temp files, in Windows Vista/7 that is AppData\Local and \Roaming
Disable or turn off extensions, 3rd party can break with any Safari update
make sure you have current Flash etc
I'd stick to Firefox or something - use NoScript, HTTPS Everywhere, FlashBlock, etc.

When safari kills your machine memory

Hi
I would like to know how can i AVOID all the "background" operations that safari does when i start safari and even other times
Is the top sites cache?
Can i disable top sites?
The only plugin i have is clicktoflash
Unfortunately i dont see any option in the preferences to setup/config the cache...witch is some odd
Thank you

i forgot to say, that the safari get 90% of my core 2 duo macbook cpu for some times
Even worse, the activity monitor puts safari on "red" like if it was crashed
Is really unpleasent because the mac os x stop responding for periods of many seconds, and this kind of behaviours should not happen never -mostly when is not doing something you "ordered" the machine to do-
I think the webkid team should stop adding more features and star caring about the behaviour and cuality in general. Its falling lately
p.d. I have "flash" off by default

Recovery disk killing CPU?

Hello. I have a HP ENVY 17-j130ea.
When I first got it, the first thing I done was create recovery disks for it to put in the box so if I need to recover it, I had the discs to do so.
Anyway, before completely setting it up I decided to run the recovery and do a minimalist recovery so it would only have the OS and the basic drivers, no software, bloatware or anything.
So I put the first disc in and restarted the laptop, the screen flashed and then turned off. The light on the caps lock would then flash once every 5-6 seconds. Looking at the HP support, apparently this is a problem with the CPU.
I took the laptop back to PC world today and got it swapped for a new one. I got this new one home, created the recovery discs, put the first one in and the exact same happened again, a quick flash on the screen and the caps lock button flashing once every 5-6 seconds.
So I now have two recovery disc sets, I made a image of each disc and ran a md5 checksum on the ISOs and they appear to match. So both laptops have generated identical recovery discs, they both verified the discs for errors and they both have killed the laptops.
So I'm going to take this laptop back again and get it swapped for a new one. But I'm going to have to wait a week for them to get a new one in.
Now I think its a pretty big problem if the recovery discs are killing the systems.
And how can I get a set of recovery discs which I can be sure are not going to kill the system as soon as I insert them into the laptop?

Safari hogging cpu after mountain lion upgrade

After upgrading to mountain lion I realized:
1) Constant fan noise
2) Heat
3) Battery drainage
I found out safari is using up cpu to 50%. Is this a problem that only I am facing with?

Same three problems after upgrading here too, late 2010 13" Macbook Air

Osx 10.9 Mail & Safari High cpu load

Hello,
A few weeks ago I updated to OSX 10.9. After working a few days with it, I run into several high CPU load issues.
2 processes: mail-webmateriaal and safari-webmateriaal (dutch).
Now I use Chrome instead of Safari which solves 50% of my problem, but it is not so easy to change to another mail-client...
Does anyone have a clue about the possible cause, but even more important, a solution?
Best regards,
Johan

jvdstoel,
Ditto. I have the exact same OS 10.9 issue on a Late 2008 iMac with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo that is maxed out at 4 GB RAM (seemed like a lot of RAM at the time).
Mail, Safari, and Firefox--but not Chrome--whether running any 1, 2, or all 3 programs together keeps the CPU running hard at and often above 100%. This occurs even when the programs a sitting idle from the user's perspective. Disabling all extensions on Safari and Firefox did not help. Nor did running Onyx to clear all catches system wide.
Calling on anyone with a virtual PhD in Maverics (or real Apple OS 10.9 street-smarts) for suggestions.
Best,
Pete

Safari Killing My Internet Connection?

Ok, here is the background:
I usually run 2 internet browsers...Opera 9.26 is my primary browser, and I've been using Safari for items that Opera cannot correctly or sufficiently provide (usually Gmail, Facebook, CNN, and 1 or 2 other sites) I also run iChat and Colloquy as other internet-use apps.
For the past 1-2 weeks, Safari, I believe, has intermittently killed my internet connection. Usually it will be loading a local newspaper website or acting strangely on Facebook...then it will start to be very slow, the rainbow sphere will appear, and my internet will die...as in, nothing on Opera works, iChat disconnects, etc.
Today was exceptionally bad as it kept happening every few seconds. I had to switch to Camino for Gmail, Facebook, and CNN...and this resolved the problem.
Any idea at all? Is this happening to anyone else?

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
DNS server codes seem to remedy the page loading lag. Follow these steps:
Go to the System Preferences>Network panel
- Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the location drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
- Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Depending on whether you use Ethernet or Airport (wireless) for your setup: Only Ethernet or Airport ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply". Everything else ought to be unchecked unless you use a Bluetooth device.
- Back to the "Show" menu, select either "Ethernet" or "Airport" (whichever applies to you). Click on the TCP panel. There, on separate lines in the DNS servers box enter Verizon's public DNS server codes: 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2.
Select "apply".
Restart Safari or Camino.

Quicktime 7 not playing in Safari/killed Flash 8!

I had a problem earlier regarding QT having major issues with playback...Well I deleted everything in the Quicktime folders and reinstalled Quicktime, and its seems to have done the trick..
...Untill I was on myspace and realised that NONE of the music (that uses Flash 8) plays! How does removing all the 3rd party stuff and reinstalling QT result in Safari being unable to play Flash 8 stuff? (correction: it plays but theres no sound!)
Thanks
Ben

It does play on OS X SL and Safari.

Safari killed iPsec driver

I installed the Safari beta on my Mac. After the reboot i wasnt able to connect via my VPN-Client.
It logs:
Function DeviceIoControl failed and
Failed to initialise ipsec driver.
I tried:
- removing the Safari beta
- repairing Rights
- reinstalling the VPN-Client
Nothing helped.
Any Ideas, anyone?
Greets Bernd (Germany).

Hi Jon,
I guess noone knows the answer, I certainly don't I'm afraid.
Since your site works correctly in the latest builds of WebKit the odds are it's simply a bug in Safari.
Hopefully the next non-security related update will include the fix.

Safari 50% CPU while downloading xcode

My fans are running 5000rpm, my CPU is currently at 208 deg F and the only thing I'm doing is downloading xcode from apples website. I hear all the time Apple and others blaming flash for eating up CPU but what on earth is Apple doing just downloading a file? Is this normal? This is a fresh install of snow leopard and I'm literally just going through and reinstalling some of the programs I lost during reloading.
My computer has always run hot enough to cook eggs on and I've gotten used to it but always blamed flash or something on system I wasn't aware of. Now that I've reloaded with fresh software I expected it to be a bit better but its still hotter than is necessary for the amount of work its currently doing.
Anyone have any ideas of what might be going on?
Thanks,
Glenn

While I think you are smart to have your machine checked out, your machine is not doing anything unusual from my experience. (We ARE talking about your "post 2008" MBP, correct ? ) For me it happens while encoding video. CPU is maxed and the temps are near 200 (90+ Celsius). I just place the machine on a cool surface and let it run. If it means anything to you, I learned that performing certain tasks in Windows (Boot Camp) actually helped lessen the strain. Anyway since everything returns to normal after, you are in pretty good shape provided your machine idles at 160F or so. Fry an egg? Not really, but it will iron the wrinkles out of your pants!
How do you measure your stats? iStatPro (free widget) is amazing for that.
As far as Flash goes - do some work using Opera with the Flash plugin disabled just to compare. I find that so long as I update Flash regularly (bloody often, actually) and dump the Flash Cache, I'm quite happy. (Flash Cache is located in TWO places: 1.) User / "You" / Library / Preferences / Macromedia / Flash Player / macromedia.com / support / flashplayer / sys / AND 2.) User / "You" / Library / Preferences / Macromedia / Flash Player / #SharedObjects )
Cheers

Safari killed my internet connection

Hello everyone! I have an eMac. Im running OS v 10. Yesterday I upgraded Safari to the latest version, rebooted and lost my connection. Im now writing this on my PC (yuck!). The only suggestion I could find on the discussion board was to reinstall my OS. I have checked my airport tap and it can see the connection but only when I manually choose my network. It does not automatically connect. I get the same messages when using safari or IE, safari (ie) cont find the server. Im not able get out with any application including Yahoo, messenger etc, etc. I thought I would re-enter my encryption key to make sure it was not that and it (aport window) locked up.
Please help, Thanks in advance.

Hi Stephen,

Some say going to apple and using the combo updater is superior to just software update. (?)

AIR browser is slow to load AJAX app & kills CPU

We have an AIR app, which mostly provides an AIR browser wrapper for our Web app. The Web app consists of AJAX and embedded Flash. The performance difference of the AIR browser versus a typical browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc.) is huge! To compare Wep apps performance:
Chrome
CPU: 30%
RAM: 250 MB
Page load: 2 seconds
AIR Browser: (Using latest version of AIR runtime)
CPU: >90%
RAM: 120 MB (Why so low?)
Page load: 5-10 secons
How can this be tuned? Is there a reason that the AIR browser doesn't use as much RAM? Is there a reason that it's using more CPU? Are the two related?
Thanks!

Just like you, an HTML/Javascript commercial Adobe AIR 3.0 app I'm currently developing for a client is SO SLOOWWW on both my Windows 7 (64 bit, 12G RAM) and Windows XP (32 bit, 4G RAM) machines, especially Mouseover, Mouseout and Click events on event-handled hyperlinks and buttons. Generally, the UI is so unresponsive it takes about a second or more for the above mouse events' handlers to fire.
I tried both event-handling (listener) and event delegation (which is supposed to be faster in managing a bigger number of elements) implementations for the target elements (about 400 links on a table grid), but it made very little difference on the performance on Windows 7 and XP.
I also tried packaging the app using the old 2.7.1 SDK, but it didn't make any difference.
BUT..
Lo and behold, the same app performs very well on my Mac OS X 10.6.8, and the Mouseover, Mouseout and Click event handlers fire instantly (whether it is via the event-handler or event-delegation implementation). So, no performance problem on the Mac!
Chris Campbell is pinging the right people at Adobe. I'm desperate to get advice from them on a temporarily solution to the problem while they try to fix it.

Major performance issue: AIR browser is slow to load AJAX app & kills CPU

Hello,
This issue for so long. I tried to submit a ticket that was erased.
Here's someone else talking about that topic: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3896291#3896291
My question - Is there a solution ahead or I have to wait patiently that all my clients uninstall the application?

The bug referenced in that thread, AIR browser is slow to load AJAX app, is still open/to track. Based off the notes from Jian on Nov 6th, we've been able to reproduce the issue but it does not have enough votes to qualify for our current releases. We need additional users to cast their votes that this is impacting their applications.
There is a note on November 11th, that suggests that removing inset box shadows can resolve this issue in some cases. This is most likely similar to other known bugs where -webkit-box-shadow impacts performance on Windows. All cases have been deferred at this time as the solution is not trivial to address (I've personally entered this bug at least twice.)
