So aslmanager taking 99% and Console.app hangs when started

So aslmanager taking 99% and Console.app hangs when started
anybody know why aslmanager needs 99% of CPU and 2+ GB footprint?

ok, i found a solution that worked for me. this may or may not be the problem you are having but give this a shoot. i think in my case the asl database got corrupted. unline tiger and below this database is not stored in asl.db in leopard. in leopard, the entire /var/log/asl directory is the database. so to remove the database and start from scratch, you need to
sudo launchctl stop com.apple.syslogd
sudo launchctl stop com.apple.aslmanager
sudo mv /var/log/asl/* ~/tmp (you might as well use rm but i wanted to be safe)
sudo launchctl start com.apple.syslogd
For good measure I also ran the maintenance scripts:
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
My machine has been dead quiet for hours now. darn, it's back to the kitchen for making my toast.
so, what did we learn? Mac, PC - same thing; both are great until you have problems. only with pc's you have a lot more resources to tap into...

  • RAC hangs when starting or stopping 2nd instance of 2 node RAC

    Has anyone seen the problem with all transactions and/or logins hanging when starting or stopping the 2nd node of a 2 node RAC database. When I shut down the 2nd instance using srvctl I occasionally get errors and long delays connecting. On our larger database with instances having a very large SGAs, trying to connect you sometimes get ORA-12537 or ORA-01033. Users experience a very long hang before getting the errors. These instances have very large SGAs of about 30GB on each node.
    In the log of the first instance we see messages like the following for quite a while.
    Global Resource Directory frozen
    Communication channels reestablished
    Master broadcasted resource hash value bitmaps
    Non-local Process blocks cleaned out

    Thanks in advance.

    I have tested with only one node and starting and stopping is much faster without any cache fusion traffic. The application is not RAC aware, it was written without regard for RAC. As you say there may be some accessing of the same block by all nodes causing RAC to remaster blocks when a node is shut down.
    My concern is the length of time users are afftected when I am starting a node that has been offline for a while. With the large SGA I have, it appears users are affected adversely for several minutes, in affect causing an outage which we are trying to avoid by using RAC.

  • On iphone 4g 4.3.2 version...my email,safari and the apps applications have started crashing....done everything including the restore...pl help??

    You can transfer your purchases before you start, to make sure all apps and purchased media is part of your iTunes library on your computer.
    All other data which is part of the backup will be missing, see more details about the content here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    This article explains how to transfer your other data: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    If you have corrupt data inside the backup, this is the only way to find out. If the behavior does not change, you can use the backup again to get all your settings back.

  • Ipad 4 after update to IO8 Safari and Mail App would not start

    I have updated my Apple Ipad 4 to IOS8.
    Modell MD510FD/A
    After this update Safari and Mail App do not start. It open the app a short time and closed by itself.
    I have restarted the Ipad for 3 times. But the problem still happen.

    Hi t.reiterer,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Since these are native apps that come with the OS, it sounds like a reinstall is in order.  A full backup first, then restore.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If a regular restore doesn't help.  Try a restore as new.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    Again, make sure you have a good backup first.
    Best Regards,
    Nubz

  • Firefox hangs when starting, Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". (was: Firefox crashes)

    Firefox hangs when starting, during session restore. Uninstalled then installed new Firefix. Same problem. Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". It just hangs, won;t display even one page. What to do? Tried -safe-mode, smae result.

    I keep too many tabs open and whilst trying to download a pdf file Firefox 8.01 hung and when I restarted it the Embarrassing page opened. I knew which tab I needed to delete but as soon as I tried to navigate to the errant tab it said "Not Responding" and nothing I could do would make it respond. I tried command line opening in safe mode and the same thing happened.
    I have read the other posts but cannot send a crash dump as it is "Not Responding" and does not get far enough to crash.

  • PS Hangs When Starting

    PS hangs when starting by clicking icon on Windows 8.1 Pro Taskbar: Grayed Welcome screen with nothing clickable. If open any image any format only one layer called "Index" is locked and cannot unlock. Under Layer menu only one submenu available and that is "Layer Style..." and when that is hovered only one option is available and that is "Global Light..."
    Is this some psycho religious fanatic virus? What is going on?

    Maybe a Preferences reset will clear it up.
    Start Photoshop and very quickly hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift. When the "Delete Photoshop Settings File" dialog appears, release those keys and click "yes" and let Photoshop finish loading.
    You have to be quick with those keys, so it may take a few tries.

  • SAP system hang when start the addon.

    Dear Expert,
    I just upgrade one of the SAP B1 server from 2007A to SAP B1 8.8 PL15, everything going smooth both server and clients.
    Except one client (new laptop with Win 7 Pro x86), this laptop fail to start the addon.
    Others clients with same specs Win 7 Pro have no problem to start addon.
    Addon started manually.
    After click start button for that addon, the system hang. If without the addon system working fine.
    If anyone have ideas to check much appreciate and thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Mat

    Hi Bala,
    I did try your steps, but no luck. System still hang when start the addon.
    But, I can start SAP addon , example i try Screen Painter, and can start successfully. Only our addon cannot start.
    I'm not suspect our addon because others client working smooth, even the server also working fine.
    I did re-install DIAPI, even re-install SAP client a few time, but still fail to start addon (delete SAP client folder before install).
    Any one face this problem?
    Regards,

  • Apps hang when I try to delete them

    The apps wobble, but hang when I try to delete them. Then, the ipad mini restarts. Moreover, I am unable to access certain apps, am unable to download or update apps. I have checked 'deleting apps' under settings, but it doesn't work.
    Help please?

    I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. "Deleting apps" is a setting that you can enable in restrictions that prevents someone from deleting apps.
    Or do you mean that you cannot delete apps in Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps. Tap the app that you want to delete and then tap Delete App in the next screen. If you haven't tried that, give it a whirl and see If that works.
    There are two basic troubleshooting steps that you can perform that might help. Reset all settings and reset your iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. No data will be lost but all of your device settings will have to be entered again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.

  • All apps hang when downloading

    Since my Macbook Air ran empty on batterie (and crashed), no application can download anything any more.
    Safari, Mail attachments, software updates, you name it: every application hangs when trying to download anything.
    I emptied Safari caches, looked at the Downloads folder, checked available disk space - no idea.
    Does someone have a hint ?

  • Safari and other apps reload when switched to from some other app.

    Okay so i have safari, twitter and facebook apps opened and i am currently updating twitter. In between i jump to facebook by twice pressing the home button on my iPhone 4s running iOS7. What happens now is that facebook reloads and i am shown my home page even when i was on a friends fb page. I switch back to twitter and now twitter app reloads and show me the homepage and not the search i was doing earlier. I jumped to safari to search for this and safari app reloads and a page that i had earlier opened gets reload..
    This is what is happening with all the applications. Is this normal? I have already disable background app refresh option in settings.

    Apple does not tell you that IO7 64bit  is memory hungry and the memory on iphone/ipads are 1GB . Basically the iOS7 is running out of memory and reloading apps otherwise os will hang. Apple ***** for not informing their users also current devices come with 1GB memory and they never disclose it at any of their events going to 64bit the forgot basic concepts , they are becoming a fashion company not a technology any more.
