Svchost.exe taking up almost all of my cpu after the computer has been running for a number of hours
My computer is almost a year old and it is a custom build gaming rig with the following specs
Intel Core i5-3570k CPU @ 3.40GHz
8.0GB of Ram
AMD Radeon HD 6870
running windows 8.1
The issue is that after a few hours my computer starts to drastically drop in performance. This is due to two reasons. Firstly explore.exe starts to use up my cpu. I can easily stop this by using process explorer to close the offending thread (only 1 thread
i causing the issue, the rest are using minimal cpu) killing this thread reduces the cpu and appears to have no concequence in terms of functionality of my pc.
After this on average ten minutes later what happen is that svchost.exe starts using from 40%-60% of my cpu at which point if I do not quit any game I am playing my computer will crash. using process explorer to find the offending threads lead me to a thread
with a TID of 1836. If I kill this process I lose internet connection. Yet before this happens there is no sign of this thread. It appears to not be present until the issue appears and when it does appear this process is essential to my internet connection.
Please can someone help me

You probably broke your phone when you tried to repair it yourself.

Don't do anything yet!
Let it keep running until you know that you REALLY want to stop it. If you think the UPDATE is slow the ROLLBACK if you kill it may take much longer.
Now - how do you plan to get it to 'run fast' when it is already running? If you do a ROLLBACK the time it takes to apply the UNDO could take even longer than the time it has taken to get this far with the update. And if you interrupt the ROLLBACK you will have to do a recovery from backup. Don't go there.
Read the FAQ at the top of the thread list for how to post a tuning request and the info you need to provide. Some of that info is:
1. Ask for help BEFORE you start running the query. Once you start you should usually just let it finish.
2. Always provide your 4 digit Oracle version
3. Provide table and index DDL
4. Provide row counts for the table and for the query predicates
5. Provide info about the exact command you used to collect stats and say if the stats are current -
I have followed directions to transfer my vault to a new HD. It is grayed out, despite doing all requisite steps beforehand. If I get 'info' on Aperture the lock icon shows and I cannot change it to unlock.
I think you may be getting confused by the 'Lock'.
The vault is locked in the files system to prevent accidental deletion.
The reason the 'Update Vault Path' is greyed out is because it is still detecting the original vault on your system.
Here's a simpler process.
Restart your system (Aperture may still have a reference to the vault and this will clear it).
Make sure you have copied the vault to the new location.
Move the vault to trash. It will warn you the file is locked. Continue to move it anyway.
Empty your system trash. It will warn you the trash has locked files. Continue to empty anyway.
Now the old vault is gone from your system, in Aperture, the vault will show as disconnected and you can update the vault path:
You can then Navigate to the new location:
And the vault will reconnect and show the available storage of the new drive:
I suspect you are following advice about trying to remove the lock. But this is not necessary, the lock means you'll simply get warnings when deleting (assuming you have permissions to delete), but you can jsut override these warnings. If at any stage you get an error saying the file is in use, just reboot and retry that stage.

How to retrieve all my backup data after iphone 4 has been restored as new?
did a factory restore on my iphone 4 today and set it up as a new phone in my itune, last time when i restored from backup, all my older data were synched to my phone... but now i'm clueless about how to get all that back, where are my data once the phone was set as new? ps. i'm not very tech savvy, please refrain from using terms i might not understand, lol...

No iTunes content is included with your iPhone's backup - no music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps. All iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer and should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone which can be lost or stolen.
Photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer.
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll are also included with your iPhone's backup and can/should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Any of the photos/videos imported from the Camera Roll that you want available on your iPhone can be transferred from your computer as with any other photos/videos. If you don't import from the Camera Roll and you don't restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, all previous Camera Roll items will not be restored. -
I currently have my work email on my laptop, mac mini, and a couple mobile devices. Is there a way to have all devices get marked as "read" when I view it from one device? It uses a POP server account.

No there isn't.
It's one reason that IMAP accounts are much better suited for use on multiple devices. Does you work only offer POP? I ask becuase, I once had a job where I had the ability to set up mail using either POP or IMAP..

Adobe Reader could not open 'images rest 12-4.jpg' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
that is the message how do i correct this problemIt sounds like your file associations are messed up and Reader is trying to open your .jpg files. Is this correct?
If so, you just need to change the associations to choose what application opens them. Here's how: Change File Associations in Mac OS X -
I am trying to erase all contents on my iphone 4, its been running for 6 hours now, is this normal?
I am trying to erase all contents on my phone, I am trying to get it back to factory settings, I don't have any jailbreaks or anything like that on my phone, The circle thing has been running for six hours now, is this normal? Before I did that, I tried to do it through itunes, and it would not restore it through there either? Im at a loss?? That took only like 5 min before it says sorry it could not be restored. This is taking forever....
Hello Stephiworld,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are trying to restore the phone to its factory defaults but the process is stalled or the phone is totally unresponsive.
If the phone will respond to the Sleep/Wake button, I would turn it off the normal way, then turn it back on.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
When it turns back on try the Erase All Content and Settings option again.
If the iPhone is completely unresponsive and will not turn off normally, I would reset the device with this process from the above article:
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Cheers,

The phone has been updated. Now insists on 'restore'. This will lose all the contacts. Help!
The phone has been abroad for 4 months using a local sim card. Now home, it has been 'updated' from itunes and now insists on 'Restore'. This will delete all contacts. Backup unavailable, the screen shows only the sign to plug in to itunes. Have tried turning off and on. Same.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup along with a significant amount of other data which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone and your iPhone's backup or on any cell phone along for your contacts, which can be lost or stolen, or suffer hardware damage from being dropped in water or liquid, etc.
How do your know your iPhone's backup is unavailable? -
My (shared) iMessages are taking up almost all my iPhone storage. Is there a way to remove them to free up space on my phone?
Thx - the videos are on my Ipad - that is the problem - they are taking up all the storage and there is no room for anything else. Is there any place I can store them so that I can access them from time to time, but not have they use up all the space on the IPad? Sounds like the cloud is out...

After altering the "Processes" list in Task manager, almost all of my programs show the iTunes icon, and when I click on, for example, Firefox, iTunes will load. Uninstalling iTunes restores the normal loading of other programs, but re-installation of iTunes makes the problem recur. Any answers?
First I'd set up a System Restore point. Then try applying the LNK registry fix from the following document:
File Association Fixes for Windows 7
Does that get your icons back to normal? -
Since upgrading to 7.0.3 (iPhone 5, 64gb, with iTunes Match enabled) almost all of my music has vanished from my phone (weirdly some hasn't).
Downloading it again, most of the artwork has been mixed up with other artists, and I'm no longer able to stream or download over 3G (all tracks greyed out), though my network settings etc are all set correctly.
Lastly since upgrading to iOS 7.0.1 (and beyond) Genuis has become effectively useless: it continually asks me to connect to wi-fi, and if I do it creates playlists mostly composed of tracks by the same artists or those very obviously linked to them- previously it created brilliant, nuanced playlists.
Are these things connected, and how do I fix them?I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
Just about time to dump apple I think! -
Ever since I updated what looked like iTunes 10.6.1 my computer has been corrupted with Malware, which has filled up all available space on my hard drive. What do I do to get rid of the Malware?
First, reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root.
First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
I bought my iPhone 5 almost an year ago and since the last 2 weeks my battery lasts about 2 hours or less, while before it lastre a whole day. Can anybody tell me why is this happening or how can i solve my problem, please? Thank you.
You can follow these steps to save battery.
1. Turn on Auto-Brightness - The iPhone has an ambient light sensor that adjusts the brightness of the screen based on the light around it (darker in dark places, brighter when there's more ambient light) to both save battery and make it easier to see. Turn Auto-Brightness on and you’ll save battery because your screen will need to use less power in dark places.
Find it in the Settings app -> Brightness & Wallpaper -> Auto-Brightness On
2. Reduce Screen Brightness -the brighter the default setting for the screen, the more battery it requires. Keep the screen dimmer to conserve more of your battery.
Find it in Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper
3. Stop Motion (iOS 7) -It's really cool, but it also drains battery. You may want to leave it on to enjoy the effect, but if not, turn it off this way:
Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion -> move slider to green/on
4. Turn Bluetooth Off- Turn off Bluetooth except when you’re using it to squeeze more juice from your battery.
Find it in Settings -> Bluetooth -> Move Slider to Off
5. Turn Off Location Services -
This allows your phone to know where you are and give you exact driving directions, give that information to apps that help you find restaurants, and more. But, like any service that sends data over a network, it needs battery power to work. If you’re not using Location Services, and don’t plan to right away, turn them off and save some power.
Find it in Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> Slide to Off
6. Don't Automatically Update Apps (iOS 7)-
If you've got iOS 7, you can forget needing to update your apps by hand. There's now a feature that automatically updates them for you when new versions are released. Convenient, but also a drain on your battery. To only update apps when you want to, and thus manage your battery better:
Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Updates -> move slider to off/white
7. Auto-Lock Sooner -
You can set your iPhone to automatically go to sleep – a feature known as Auto-Lock - after a certain amount of time. The sooner it sleeps, the less power is used to run the screen or other services. Try setting Auto-Lock to 1 or 2 minutes.
Find it in Settings -> General -> Auto-Lock -> Tap your Preference
Few more things that would consume battery even when not is use are the applications that run in background.
Follow the below steps to quit all running applications.
1) Double tap on the home button on the iPhone ( this will display all apps that are running in the back ground).
2) Just click on the tiny red X to quit application ( if iPhone is running on iOS 6 and below) else just swipe yhour finger over the running app upwards to quit ( if running on iOS7). -
since the last update a few days ago of firefox, the time has been 25 to 35 seconds to enter bookmarks or even the time it takes to page down when it used to take a few seconds. can you tell me why it taking so long since the update on firefox. may another update is in order.
I have now done pretty much every suggestion that even vaguely applies in the various helpful link provided. Thanks for the ongoing help. =)
I have managed to get FireFox's start-up memory usage down to about 100,000K, however it appears that memory usage keeps creeping up the longer FireFox is open. (It seems to top out around 500,000K.) And I'm not talking open for many hours or days - but rather for minutes and possibly up to a couple hours. (Based on how long I've been fiddling with all this so far.)
On the plus side, it does not appear GreaseMonkey is the culprit since with it active or disabled this memory creep still occurs. Although having GreaseMonkey enabled definitely increases the rate of memory creep. Though once it has creeped up to 150,000+K, disabling GM does not make it drop back down to the starting 100,000K.
I should point out I run a MacBook Pro and use Bootcamp to partition the hard drive and run it as a Windows 7 PC about half the time. I am running it literally as a PC or, alternately, as a Mac depending on which hard drive I choose to load. (I'm not "windowing" it.) This problem exists regardless of whether I am using the PC or the Mac. These repairs have been made currently on the PC side, and I will attempt them all again on the Mac side. I find it odd that this enormous memory drain has occurred on 3 different computers at the same time. (The two "halves" of my home laptop as well as the PC at my work place.)
