I has same your problem too. But I solved in the following way;
File Path1: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\distnoted.exe
File Path2: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\SyncServer.exe
this file [Right Click] and Properties. on the compatibility tab(click change setting for all users);;;
then check run this program in compatibility mode for: and select windows 7.
also check run this program as an administrator. click apply then ok
if already running syncserver, disnoted kill it. using windows task manager.
This seemed to fix the problem for me....Good luck to you!

Firefox is using large amounts of CPU time and disk access, and I need to know how to shut down most of this so I can actually use the browser.

Firefox is a very busy piece of software. It's using large amounts of CPU time and disk access. It puts my usage at low priority, so I have to wait for some time to be able to use my pointer or keyboard. I don't know what it uses all that CPU and disk access time for, but it's of no use to me. It often takes off with massive use of resources when I'm not doing anything, and I may not have use of my pointer for several minutes. How can I shut down most of this so I can use the browser to get my work done. I just want to use the web site access part of the software, and drop all the extra. I don't want Firefox to be able to recover after a crash. I just want to browse with a minimum of interference from Firefox. I would think that this is the most commonly asked question.

SLAPD.EXE taking a lot of CPU Time

Hi all,
I'm getting this stange issue on our Dev Boxes, when trying to launch a business rule, a process called slapd.exe (Open Ldap) takes up to 50 / 60 % of CPU time and it takes about 1 to 2 min for the prompts on the business rules to appear.
The system just seems to hang ...
Please let me know if you know how to resolve this,
Cheers,
Jeremie

Hi,
I came across tip for speeding up OpenLdap a while ago, I have never tested it as I have never found the need to but here it is :-
Stop the OpenLdap service
Open slapd.conf which is under SharedServices\openLDAP\
Locate
*# Indices to maintain*
index objectClass eq
index cn,ou,cssIdentity,member,cssRoleDN,cssProductCode,cssVersion eq
index cssDisplayNameDefault eq,sub
and add
index uniqueMember eq
Save/Close
run slapindex.exe -f c:\<location to slapd.conf>\slapd.conf
Start up OpenLdap service again.
Though this doesn't explain the reason why you are suddenly getting performance issues, do you have a large amount of native users/groups ?
If you are on 9.3.1 have you tried Sync Native Directory from Shared Services.

New x301 - Taskmgr.exe uses "constant" amount of CPU. My t60 does not why?

When I click on "Start Task Manager" I notice that even with ALL programs closed, the only process to use CPU between 2% and 10% is the Task manager (taskmgr.exe).
I also have a t60 (xp pro sp3) and noticed that task manager users 0% CPU. I know its not absolute zero but not enough to count as 1% and does not kept using up CPU.
This is my first 64 bit system. It's 1.4 dual core with 4gb ram and 128gb solid state drive.
Why is taskmgr.exe using up so much CPU %? How can this be fixed?
Anyone else with an x301 or 64bit lenovo with this similar behavior?
Thanks

anyone?

Finder taking large percent of cpu

My 2012 MacBook Pro fan was running for hours. I checked activity levels of the CPU and found the finder to be the culprit. I closed the window and the fan stopped running wild in a few minutes. I turn the finder back on and the fan is now starting to run wild again.
Checked the disk, no issues.
Does anyone have any other thoughts?

SearchIndexer.exe taking up 15-20% CPU after indexing complete

Machine is a Dell Latitude E6400, 4GB RAM, Core2Duo P9600 2.66Ghz, Intel 160GB G2 SSD with TRIM firmware. All OS and Office service packs and hotfixes are installed.
Rebuilt my machine about a month ago with Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. searchindexer.exe has been running at 50% CPU usage when I am not using the machine and around 15% when I am using it. When is that going to settle down? Profile directory is about 26gb (mostly in downloads) and a 2.5gb Outlook mailbox.
I checked and under Indexing Options it shows that 115,692 items are indexed and that it is complete . Don't get why it's still running with so much CPU usage. I leave it overnight and the CPU runs at 50% usage the entire evening.
If I click Pause, it does knock CPU usage to nil. If I stop and disable the service the CPU usage is nil. I close Outlook 2007 SP2 it is still at 15-20% CPU.
I rebuilt my indexes, same thing. I would disable it, but I do use the feature quite often. Anyone seen a way to get this to calm down and only index when there are legitimately new items to index? Or find out what it is trying to index?

Well, I seemed to have solved my problem for the time being. Not sure if it will return. Here's what I did:
1. Created another admin account
2. Reduced my primary user to a Standard User
3. Under "Control Panel->Indexing Options-> Advanced" I hit the rebuild button.
This seemed to try and rebuild the index, but, as I expected, it seemed to get hung up on something (not sure what). It indexes some 9,000 files and then just sits on the 9,127th file forever. When I am not using the computer, the SearchIndexer.exe ramps up to 50% usage, but the index still sits on the 9,127th file. It's as if it's stuck on a particular file. I have no idea which file. I have read reports of MS Outlook causing problems but I don't have that. I have read of iTunes libraries causing problems. I do have iTunes installed, but my library is empty (should probably uninstall it). In any case, I then:
4. Elevated my primary user back to Administrator.
5. Then repeated step #3 above.
This time it indexed all the files and SearchIndexer.exe took its rightful place taking up 0% of my CPU, the fan turned off, and I haven't seen the SearchIndexer.exe run since. I have no idea if the steps I took made sense as my primary account was an Administrator when I had the problems to begin with.
My analysis so far (given the vast number of complaints I've seen) is that the SearchIndexer.exe is just still buggy software. However, the really unfortunate part is the lack of feedback from the Indexing. If it's spinning on one file forever, some useful feedback might be nice, otherwise users just sit and wonder why the fan is on all the time. It's unfortunate that users have to figure out some mystical series of tricks to perform to get the Indexing to behave properly.

MSMPENG Requiring large amounts of CPU Time

<---Time
This is a picture of the CPU consumption on a multiprocessor cpu activity monitor on Win 7 SP1 running a Sandybridge Extreme. I know there was a problem during XP days. This has been going on for about an hour and one half. The system logical disk is about
125 GB and I had nothing running at the time. The activity shown was MSMPENG.EXE according to the task manager.
I am using Windows Defender and Malware Bytes as AV. I've been advised that it's ok to run them both. All disks on the system are SSDs. It's continuing in this state...... The green horizontal line is physical memory consumption which rather low.

CheckTLFFontsLoaded taking large amount of time every frame

After trying to figure out why converting all our text fields to TLF is hammering performance for ages, I've finally discovered the culprit function that is taking so long on every single frame:
RuntimeManager$.checkTLFFontsLoaded (fl.text)
This function often spends more than 10 ms running each frame, and is by far the longest running function in our application's action script every single frame.
Can anyone give me a rough idea of what calls this function so I know what to start looking for in my code?
I posted this question on the TLF forums but was told to come here because fl.text.RuntimeManager is a class of Flash Pro not TLF.

fl.text.RuntimeManager is not a class of TLF but Flash Pro. Here we mainly focus on TLF, which includes classes in textLayout.swc. So you may want to duplicate your question to http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash. Thanks!

"Plugin Container" remains open, consuming large amounts of CPU power for nothing, even after Firefox is quit! It can only be killed from the Activity Monitor!

(I'm on a Mac.)

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

CPU process over 100% usage

On my mountain Lion 10.8.4 version the CPU utilization as reported by "activity monitor" showed a result greater than 100%. The TOR Browser went up to 100.9 % CPU with still further applications running. I have enclosed a screen shot of the exceeding utilization below
This is a serious concern because this may mean a hidden process not being properly reported..
Can anyone give a reason for this error?

It's not hidden. The problem is the Tor browser. Select it then click on the Quit icon and then on the Force Quit button.
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

When opening an XPS file, IE hangs. Task manager shows XPSViewer.exe taking 50% of CPU.

I've seen this twice now on older XP machines (sadly, some of my users DO have to run XP) so I figured I should document it, if only because the fix is so non-intuitive.
By default, XPS documents open in IE with a helper called XPSViewer.exe. You can also open them in a separate standalone viewer by installing the Microsoft XPS Essentials thing
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11816
But that doesn't work in IE, and my users needed it to.
Sometimes, users report that when they open an XPS file, the browser hangs. Checking task manager shows that XPSViewer.exe is taking up 50% of CPU cycles. Ending the process allows IE to respond, but the document is not displayed.
The first hint at a solution was from:
http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/273861-cannot-open-xps-files/
"This issue occurs because the non-administrator user account cannot access the %WINDIR%\System32 folder. By default, WPF writes the output file to the %WINDIR%\System32 folder. The %WINDIR%\System32 folder requires administrator permissions.
When the non-administrator account tries to access this folder, the WPF caching code is triggered. This code causes the screen to flicker.
In 32-bit versions of the Windows Server 2003 operating system, the output file is D3d9caps.dat. In 64-bit versions of the Windows Server 2003 operating system, the output file is D3d9caps64.dat. "
It got me thinking that maybe i could modify the rights to the file instead of applying the hotfix...
After doing that the user could open the .xps file successfully!. But after closing the xps (internet explorer uses xpsviewer.exe to display the file) the file d3d9caps.dat disappeared from the system32 folder...
The next time the .xps file was opened by the user, the d3d9caps.dat file was not created in system32 folder as one might expect, but instead in the more appropriate path "...Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data" folder.
So in fact, all i had to do to fix this problem was deleting/renaming the d3d9caps.dat file in the system32 folder.
So all you have to do is delete (or for safety, rename) that d3d9caps.dat file and try again! Works a treat!

In the %WINDIR%\System32 folder, find d3d9caps.dat or d3d9caps64.dat
and rename it to anything. Bamn. Fixed. That easy.

What does "other" mean at the bottom of the sync page? It is taking up a large amount of space on my phone.

What does "other" mean at the bottom of the sync page? It is taking up a large amount of space on my phone.

The other section contains temporary files, such as text messages, iMessages, voicemail, and other storage that is meant for small short term use. If the other section of your phone has grown quite large and you can't account for what it could be then you may have experienced a syncing error to iTunes.
I have experienced this problem frequently during my years with the iPhone. The other portion of my phone grows with every sync of my phone to iTunes. There comes a point where it takes up the majority of the space on my iPhone, making the device near unusable.
When it grows to this extent is usually cased by an error during the syncing process. Any information iTunes can't reconcile during the syncing process is saved out of sight, out of mind, in the 'other' section.
You will never be able to see or recover this section unless you are very savvy and know how to poke around the archived iPhone back-up on your computer. (if you are thinking of trying, stop. It will not be worth your time and effort, or if using third party software, the money or spyware associated with it *cough* iTools *cough*).
The only fix I have found that works is to back up your phone to iTunes, and preform a 'restore'. This erases the content of your phone, and restores it to factory settings.
That is you phone will be as if you took it fresh out of the box. You can preform a restore from back-up through iTune, or iCloud to get your content back.
Lo and behold your have trimmed the mystery meat.

A process called "rundll32.exe" occupied 50% of the cpu in windows 7 OS

Hello, i found a serious problem with my Macbook late 2009 that when i install 32-bit windows 7 under bootcamps 3.1 and Mac OS 10.6.1. There's a process called "rundll32.exe" occupied 50% of the cpu even when i didn't run any softwares.I reinstalled 5 times using different Windows 7 version, but the problem still remain. The process can't be terminated once it appeared, it always appeared after 5 mins to 30 mins after i reboot the Macbook. I'm going to try 64-bit windows 7 and Mac OS 10.6.2 this afternoon, but i seems it won't be fixed, i will post the result later anyway. Anyone know how to deal with this sort of thing?

You really need a windoz site to ask such a question..... after all this is the Apple site..
But rundll32.exe is using 50% of your processors idle process...which is nothing.... run a app or three and the runddll32 will be taking next to nothing....one copy will run per app I think..
