System "windowServer" uses 295% of the CPU...

...for Safari. How do I make it stop. I am in safe mode and plugins do not seem to affect it. I would rather not use Chrome. Oh, I have tried the Safari Reset,too. When simply dragging the window the screen refresh rate drops to about 3-5 fps. Scrolling is jerky too. I am running OS 10.9 and Safari 7 a 2011 iMac 2.5ghz i5. I love all the new features except this one. Login pages on my photo and blog sites are near impossible to navigate. And then sometimes as I type there will be a hic-up and the text field will stop refreshing for a second and the when it catches up the the current word I am typing will appear and directly on the other side of the cursor will be all the word typed during the hic-up. For example while typing the above I got "...navigat|near impossible to..." I hope all this helps identify the cause.

OK, this getting really interesting. I have a GeekTool that displayes what the system is doing ( because it looks cool) and I finally caught what was happening The system is trying to store something in the "ubiquity "folder but it can not find it. this makes the "ubd" to go a bit crazy. Not sure why this affects the windoServer so much... But it is the iCloud file sync controller or something like that. SO, I turned off the iCloud documents which deletes the files from the computer. and wow it worked. Safari ran beautifully. So I rebooted ,not in safe mode. When I launched Safari it did it's wierd flickery refresing window thing. I Installed the Click for Flash extention - checking to see if the flash extention might be the problem. Did not help the crashing. Using Crome at te moment as Safari is useless.

One database using most of the CPU

HI,
On one of our SQL server, the CPU was really high. I ran a query to find out which database was using most of the CPU. We have about 30 databases on that server.
Database 1 is using 90% of the CPU
Database 2 3.5%
Database 3 1.5%.
etc...
The database 1 in our Intranet and i really don't understand why it's using all the CPU available. We have just a few people connected at once.
I'd like to know if there's any way to find out why that database is using all the CPU? Memory leak, bad code, etc...
Thank you

---This first thing to check if CPU is at 100% is to look for parallel queries:
-- Tasks running in parallel (filtering out MARS requests below):
select * from sys.dm_os_tasks as t
where t.session_id in (
select t1.session_id
from sys.dm_os_tasks as t1
group by t1.session_id
having count(*) > 1
and min(t1.request_id) = max(t1.request_id));
-- Requests running in parallel:
select *
from sys.dm_exec_requests as r
join (
select t1.session_id, min(t1.request_id)
from sys.dm_os_tasks as t1
group by t1.session_id
having count(*) > 1
and min(t1.request_id) = max(t1.request_id)
) as t(session_id, request_id)
on r.session_id = t.session_id

TS1363 When I sync my ipod all goes well until I try to eject then it says that other systems are using files on the ipod. Nothing else is running and when I physically eject the ipod hasnt synched....ideas anyone?!

When I sync my ipod all goes well until I try to eject then it says that other systems are using files on the ipod.
Nothing else is running.
The only way I can eject is to do so manually, when I do I then find the ipod hasnt synched.
Any ideas?

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

IMac using 100% of the CPU, but no processes in Activity Monitor show usage over 3%. What's going on?

This iMac is about 5 years old. It has the 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 2GB RAM, and is running 10.8.5. After rebooting the machine, CPU usage is low. After about 30 seconds, when using Activity Monitor, CPU usage bumps up to 100% and stays there without budging. When viewing the CPU tab near the botom, % User is about 95+%, and % System makes up the other 5%. They change slightly every second. The problem is, if I sort my Processes by % CPU, the largest user is Activity Monitor with around 2.3%. Everything else is at 0.0%. So there's something weird going on causing the CPU to max out and run hot, but I can't figure out what's causing it. Checking for applications to force quit doesn't show any issues, and repairing permissions doesn't do anything. Is there any way to figure out what's going on? I read about how to reset the System Management Controller, is this something I should do? Thank you for ANY help, it's driving me crazy!
EDIT: I figured it out! Browsing All Processes, I'm running a folding@home program, but I thought I uninstalled it! The process is called FahCore_a4. Is there any way to prevent it from showing up on boot? I want to get rid of it but I deleted the applications!

Be certain to check that you are viewing "All Processes" as opposed to "My Processes"

Ocspd uses 100% of the cpu after upgrafde

After I upgraded my iMac to Mavericks, the ocspd process hogs the cpu according to the activity monitor. I tried using the Key Chain First Aid, repairing permissions, fscking, but nothing helped.

I've seen similar behaviour, was caused by browsing to a samba directory containing many many files from a macosx smb client.
Was more than 30000 files in a folder (images sequence for video work)
No problem on the same directory from a windows client.
It's related with case sensitive stuff, server is processing all the file case combinations.
So, just click on that directory from a maxosx client, and server will eat all his cpu, even if you stop browsing
Could it be your case ?
I've try to setup the server to be case unsensitive, but another problem appear, again only from macosx client : when converting copied file to default case, file is put to recycle bin (samba vfs), no problem from windows client, files are converted to default case without problem.
I'd like to try to force smbclient of mac clients to be case unsensitive, or may be compile latest samba on them too

IPhoto is using 190% of the CPU

Can anyone please advise why my iPhoto is using upto 190% of the CPU. The % does fluctuate but it is still high between 50% and 190%.
this does cause my MacBook to become slow and operates rather warm.

My iPhoto library is in pictures folder and I had ready carried out the repair prior to your reply. What if ant damage could have this caused and if I repeatedly get this message should I be concerned?
A repair can be necessary,
if iPhoto crashed or you force quit it. Then iPhoto may not be able to close all open files properly, and the internal databases can be left in an inconsistent condition.
It can be necessary, if the iPhoto library has been accessed from the Finder and not using the iPhoto interface.
It can be necessary, if the iPhoto library has been accessed by other applications, that try to clean your Mac or to save space.
If you are seeing reported prompts to repair, the library may be corrupted more than a simple repair can solve or your hard drive may be failing. In that case make sure, you are having a good backup and try all options from the Library First Aid Tools, first of all repairing permissions, and then a "Rebuild Database".
If all fails, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager (download here: iPhoto Library Manager), as described by Terence Devlin in this post:
uprgraded to yosemite all good but iphoto crashes every time I attempt to upgrade the photo library

I also recognized a similar problem.
While working in Creator, my CPU suddenly started to swaet blood running on 100% load for any reason I couldn't figure out.
But I found out that my machine also almost out of RAM, so I added another GB of RAM and things went much better. I'm now working with a CPU of 3GHz (with HT) and 2 GB RAM, and I cannot recommend lower spec to work with Creator.
The second very important thing was, that my virus-scanner (mcAffee enterprise) seems to be very scary about java things and consumes quite a lot performance scanning around things that I know their now as good. So I excluded some of the major directories creator wors with from scanning, and that also did a good job.

Firefox hangs at random moments and uses 25% of the CPU (one core)

Hello,
On random websites and moments, I notice Firefox using 25%CPU. I have 4 cores. I don't know what's causing it, and it is pretty annoying. It just hangs and becomes unresponsive for about ~ 30-45 seconds. After that it happily continues without problems. It doesn't actually crash, it only hangs.
I think it's something with an extension that's causing it. I have this as well on my laptop, that has Hyperthreading. (this PC doesn't) - On the laptop it uses 13% CPU when the same issue appears.
I have Firefox 5 fully updated. Addons I use:
Ghostery
Adblock Plus
HTTPS Everywhere
WOT (Web of Trust)
I use on both computers Windows 7 Professional. One of them is English, the other Dutch. Both legal and with all updates.
I also have the Flash and Silverlight plugin, up-to-date.
If there's any other information you need please let me know. Would like to have the issue resolved :)
Thanks,
Niels

Nope - no fix yet :( I have installed a few new addons though: HTTPSEverywhere, Ghostery and NoScript. I'm not sure which one is causing it, but one of them caused the problem to drastically reduce. I have it once a month now, maybe.. Before that I had it multiple times a day.
It's probably Ghostery or Noscript fixing it, due to the things they forbid from loading :)

Having tremendous difficulty with the new version of iTunes. Moving from a playlist to the main music library has iTunes using 100% of the cpu and listed as not responding. Not sure this new version was ready for release!

OK, issue seems to be when I've selected "Albums" as the view. Moving to "Songs" is OK. This problem just appeared with the new release. Anyone else having difficulty?

well nobody bothered to give me a hint on what to do, maybe because the problems with the new version of iTunes are really a lot, there is an enormous amount of people out there that have all sort of different problems including mine so I have decided to return to the previous version which works fine and wait untill the apple people come up with a decent product ....

System Uses 80-90% of cpu on Original Macbook air

I am looking for a solution that reduces the system from using 80% of my cpu. I am getting frustrated

If you are using Mac OS X Lion then I'd suggest to downgrade to Snow Leopard.
Lion is more resource hungry than Snow Leopard, this makes the CPU heat up more.
If the CPU heats up the computer throtles it down to a lower speed for it to cool down. When this happens you'll see your CPU usage go up too, to keep it as simple as I can: imagine you are using 50% capacity at 1.86ghz and the computer throtles down to 0.93ghz, with half the processing speed the laptop would need double the usage to run the same app at the same speed, so it would use 100%. It can even go over 100% if you push it enough.
Sometimes the system will report that it's using 80 or 90% to prevent other apps from stressing the processor and heating it up even further or it will even shut down one of it's cores, a common issue on early 2008 models.
I have a 2009 2.13ghz Macbook Air and after having some performance issues with Lion I reinstalled Snow Leopard, my mac runs much cooler with it and my battery life is one hour longer since it's less stressful on the processor and memory.
You should also google around Coolbook for Snow Leopard, it brings the temperature down and therefore the laptop can run more time at full tilt before it slows the processor down, meaning better performance.
Just my two cents.

K7T266Pro2, bios ver. 3.6, 3.7 - the system is unstable if the CPU is

I've a problem - after flashing to new versions of bios the system becomes very unstable if the CPU is even slightly overclocked (140х11). Now I have the bios version 3.3. It is stable, but does not support fast CPU's (when I overclock my cpu to 1862 MHz, the results in SiSoft Sandra 2002 are much lower then with non-overclocked cpu). What am I to do?
P.S. How to rename the thread?

what is the problem with 3.3 memory timing? I upgraded to 3.7 bios and found that I cannot restart Windows - every time I restart, the bios is stuck in the POST screen - I went back to 3.3 and the problem is gone. I also did not notice any difference in SisSandra 2002 score (including memory benchmark), 3dmark2001se and all other benchmark software I threw at my system between bios 3.3 and bios 3.7.
BTW, I was also like Kolian before in that once I flashed to any bios above 3.3, my system cannot overclock. It turns out I fixed my CPU heatsink the other way around. Once I fixed the heatsink correct, I can use bios 3.7 stably, only problem being it not able to restart.

System "windowServer" uses 295% of the CPU...
