Unusually High Usage?

I received a high usage warning on 19 Dec and within one day the usage had gone from 32Gb to 45Gb. As we only use Bb for web pages You Tube and Facebook does this seem too high. Admittedly son has been on You Tube a lot in the last few days but have used nore than in the whole of last month. Guidance appreciated. Thank You

This should help.

Unusually high broadband usage over March and Apri...

Have others noticed that they appear to have used far more of their monthly broadband allowance in the last two months? My 'alleged' usage was quadruple my usual but on Friday when I called the billing team they didn't want to know and weren't particularly helpful. However I persistedwith the BT technical team on Sunday and they admitted that they had been receiving an unusually high level of calls from customers complaining about seemingly high usage. They were informing the billing team of the problem so I will continue to chase them this week. Apparently there was some issue with the usage monitor giving out incorrect information so it might be worth people challenging the billing team if they think the same thing has happened to them.

*** please ignore this as I am still having the same issue even without Skype
I've been checking my usage monitor since I installed it this morning and couldn't undestand what these huge red spikes in download activity were every few seconds and my usage was going up and up.
Looking on the internet for solutions I saw lots of mentions about Skype, which I have but have only used once or twice a couple of months ago. Oh, but wait a minute, that was when my usage skyrocketed. And guess what.. I just uninstalled it and now the huge red spikes are no more on my monitor!
I have no idea of the why and how but even though my Skype was not open it was doing something over the internet and something very big.
So if you have the same issue and you have some kind of video calling software installed it may be worth uninstalling it just to check.

High usage in memory

Dear All,
I have a situation here that high usage of system memory, When i check in st22 i cud see only short dump relating to it.
I checked in st06, 80 % of my memory is being used, only 20 % left.
When i check the same in sm37 and there are only three jobs running which took only low memory.system is paging, How do i exactly find out which job is taking high consumption of my memory.
where can i check all these.

Hi,
When you activate an InfoCube, rebuild an aggregate, delete the data of an InfoCube or perform other operations, the SAP BW system creates fact tables. By default, data compression is not activated in these cases.However, usually the numeric values in a fact table are correlated or are located in a small segment of the value range. For this data, you can achieve good compression rates with less memory space requirements and a better utilization of the DB2 buffer pool and, therefore, less input and output.
Reduces application server access to Database. Ie.g. set the number range buffer for one dimension to 500, the system will keep 500 sequential numbers in memory SAP OSS note 130253: Notes on upload of transaction data into BW
After the load, reset the number ranges buffer to its original state: minimize unnecessary memory allocation.

Shared memory (System V-style) - High usage of phys memory and page outs

Hi!
I get a much higher usage of physical memory when I use shared memory than I would expect. Please, I would really need someone to confirm my conclusions, so that I can revise my ignorance in this subject.
In my experiments I create a shared memory segment of 200 MB and I have 7 processes attaching to it. I have a ws of 1 GB.
I expect to see what I see when I attach to the shared memory segment in terms of virtual size, i.e. SIZE in prstat. After attaching (mapping it) to the process all 7 processes are about ~203 MB each and this makes sense. RSS, in prstat, is about 3 MB for each process and this is ok to me too.
It is what I see when each of the 7 processes start to write a simple string like 'Hello!' in parallel to each page in their shared memory segment that I get surprised. I run out of memory on my ws after a while and the system starts to wildly page out physical memory to disk so that the next 'Hello!' can be written to the next page in the shared memory segment. It seems that each page written to in the shared memory chunk is mapped into each process private address space. This means that the shared memory is not physically shared, just virtually shared. Is this correct?
Can memory be physically shared, so that my 7 processes only use 200 MB? ISM? DISM?
I create a shared memory segment in a C-program with the following calls:
shmid = shmget(key, SHM_SIZE, 0644 | IPC_CREAT)
data = shmat(shmid, (void *)0, 0);Thanks in advance

Your problem seemed reasonable. What were you doing wrong?

Do i need web kit 2 web process i keep getting high usage errors

Do i need the file webkit 2 web process? i keep getting high usage errors

Problem solved, though awkwardly. Changed my default browser to Chrome. Since this problem was issues encountered using Safari, that eliminated them. I'd had Chrome installed on my Mac for a long time, but only used it sporadically because I never found it as fast as and I just preferred Safari. But I'm finding now that it's been set as default and I'm not running them both at the same time that Chrome is actually living up to the zippy-speeds Google always said it had. So yay! for me.

High Usage, Old PC and Modem Dial-up broadband, La...

Hello , AVG keeps popping up on Firefox with one of the latest usage being over 300mb+, when simply having 4 or so tabs open. High Usage, I have Old PC windows XP and Modem Dial-up broadband, Latest Firefox Browser 15.0.1 (sept2012)
Also netgear Hub Sister uses as wireless I somethimes use with Network cable on my Laptop, Windows 7 again Firefox.
Tried talking to BT customer service but no solution.
Whilst as a amatuer photographer and massive music fan I could be on Fb, Youtube, MySpace, msn all at the same time, msn is Bonkers crazy on flash and adverts etc, and I use an AD remover for FB.
I have tried disabling add-ons and Plug ins on firefox, but this year have had prob 3 or 4 Java, adobe Flash, and Firefox updtaes thus far. i am sure this background stuff could be eating up my usage, yet a non tech user cannot possibly do anything about this.
I post many pics on some sites and looking to do my own web site but if Uploading my images (which i reduce) and viewing others downloading etc I know that would be part of the usage, but I only started getting the Usage Allowance emails in May or June 2012, there was No issue the previous years with BT but Now it is an issue.
But I am pretty sure I was on Unlimited broadband but BT has put me on Option 1 10gb.
This is more of an info post to try and locate what can be done to reduce the Usage allowance
Thanks

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I installed the update, and I think the '..\services.exe' issue might have overcome. (NOT 100% sure though)
But the machine still, Hangs
Or, Auto Shutdown occurs with the msg. '.. the process lsass.exe has terminated unexpectedly'
Let me elaborate the Hang situation a bit, this is very new to my experience. I can launch some programs like Notepad.exe, but when forefox or IE does not run. TaskManager icon appears at the system tray, but the program interface does not appear, as if TaskManager is running while minimized.
And when i try to shutdown the computer from the start menu, the User Log off/Switch User option appears, instead of the Shutdown options.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

One external app on 1st gen iPhone 5. Cellular Network Data Sent = 1.2GB. What could cause such a high usage?

I had the same issue, whilst my IPhone 5 iOS 7.0.2 was in my pocket all morning, I checked the usage on traffic monitor and it said data usage 1.1 GB. My setting are:
icloud:
mail:off, contacts:on, calenders:on, reminders:on, Safari:off, Notes:on, passbook:on, photos:off, Documents & Data:on(whatsapp only), Find my Iphone:on
itunes & apps store:
music:off, Video:off itunes match:off Automatic downloads music:off, apps:off, books:off, update:off
Podcasts: Auto downloads:off
itunes wifi sync: last sync Friday 11 Oct 2013 (not this morning)
I am using an inmarsat satelite connection if anybody knows any other settings that could cause vast amounts of data to download please advise. After thought would'nt it be nice if apple had an all in one feature(switch) that only allowed Push notifications and safari usage through. Thanks in advance.

Unusually high volume

Some callers to my online number get a message saying that there is an unusually high volume and the call cannot be placed. Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem.

The spam stopped once we applied the filters for the Comments and the Akismet is sitting there in the system now so they just need to fully role out the control into forms which will do a lot.
The Amazing thing with that which I need to check with the engineers that I thought is that BC is run by BC, so if they are using Akismet I want to check to see if they are pooling all the spam filters applied on all BC sites into one central database that ALL sites have access too. If they are doing this - SWEET, if not I am going to suggest they do.
THat would mean if your being spammed what you block will mean sites I build will not get those same spam and so on.
Making the captcha more secure agaisnt OCR will make them harder to use so there is negatives you got to weigh up.

Roaming Fraud in Telecoms and High-Usage Reporting standards

Hi,
I am sure that there are people out there performing software development on telecoms systems to process high usage reports in order to reduce roaming fraud. I am hoping that someone can point me at a forum they may use so that I may join them to exchange
information.
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks in advance.

Kai,
Thanks for the question (and input). As you probably know, we have several partners that provide WLP-ready monitoring solutions providing insight into the utilization, availability, and performance of portal components, including Acsera, Quest, Intersperse, and Wily. In general, these tools are sophisticated and powerful, providing features such as SLA management, alerting, and drill down capability to meet the needs of operational, support, and development personnel tasked with detecting, isolating, and diagnosing performance and availability related issues.
In addition, we recognize the need to provide business users with straightforward statistics on utilization and performance. While we do not plan on providing such capabilities out of the box for the 9.2 release, we are actively investigating the possibility of leveraging the Analytics component of ALUI to provide such reporting capabilities for Weblogic Portal in the future.

Unusually High CPU usage by almost all programs

I have a BIG problem with my computer. It start over a week ago and ever since, I've been trying to fix it. The problem is that almost all programs I use takes up 100% of my CPU usage. The only thing that doesn't are window's program but they also take up a lot of CPU usage. It is not the usual 1-3 sec of high CPU usage that all programs use. It is high CPU usage for a long period of time. A Youtube video causes my CPU to go to 100% just by playing it. Also, scans, surfing the web and other things cause it to go up. My computer runs really slow because of this. It is about 2-3 times slower. This is strange because my computer would rarely ever go over 60% for longer than 5 seconds. The memory amount taken up from my programs are not unusual. Its just that CPU part is way to high. I am un-able to play a game and open a web browser without massive lag on both programs. I have done everything I can. I did a restore for a day before this happened and it didn't work. I scanned for viruses with McAfee Microsoft essentials and Ad-ware antivirus and removed all threats. I have clean my computer with CCleaner and Advanced system care. I have scanned for spyware with spybot S&D, Superantispyware. I have checked for malware with Malewarebytes. But the problem is not solved. I really need the help. If you want me to download something to scan my computer I'm up for it because currently, I'm desperate.
Another thing. I have an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU. But, in msconfig, I cannot select 4 processors in advance options in the boot section. I only shows 1 for some reason. I could really use the help.
These are my specs
HP Pavilion a6554f Desktop PC
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 2.40Ghz
5.00 GB of RAM
Motherboard is PEGATRON CORPORATION Benicia 1.01
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 5.22 03/28/2008
I have windows vista 64-bit Home Premium

Hi,
In the Advanced Boot Option of the System Configuration window, if there is a tick in the box next to 'Number of Processors', click the box to remove it, click OK, click Apply and then OK in the previous window and then restart the PC for the change to take effect.

Unusually high cpu usage with iMovie 6.0.3

I'm having trouble with very high cpu-usage. Just the open imovie app is taking up about 50%, during playback it sometimes peaks over 100%! The project file is pretty big (about 30 gig), but that is mainly because of the amount of footage imported into it. The movie itself is about 25 minutes in length. There is some audio editing going on: some soundeffects, musicfiles (no drm-protection), audio commentary that i recorded within imovie. I know that imovie has trouble when there is a lot of audio/audio editing involved and this project is probably a little more complex than other stuff i did in imovie, but i never had such problems. i can hardly use playback anymore. I recently updated Quicktime to 7.6.4 and Perian to version 1.2.1. Any ideas what's going on or how to work around the problems? Since the movie is about 80% finished i don't really want to start all over again. Thanks in advance for your input!

Hi Klaus1
I have several plug-ins by cfx and the slick volumes 4, 6 8 and 10. I can post a list of all of them if you like. Up to now they never made any trouble, but you'll never know...
The edit in the timeline is about 25 minutes long. But the project file contains captured dv-footage of about 2 hours, so that alone adds up to something like 26 GB. Then there are a few rendered effect-clips done with some of the plug-ins like stabilizing or color correction which also add to the 30 GB, as well as some audio-files (some music, my voice-over commentary). I emptied the trash several times while working on the movie. At this moment there are only a few MB of erased audio in it.
It all sounds a bit like this is an insanely huge and complex project, but as i said, i have done projects like this in imovie without the massive cpu-usage. I'd like to continue to use imovie, but if this problem keeps coming up with future projects, i might as well take the step and switch to Final Cut Express.
For now I will try your idea of exporting the movie as it is now and open it in a new project file.
Thanks for your help and input so far!

Unusually high CPU usage

Looking at Activity Monitor it says % User 50-55, but adding up the cpu usage for the individual processes only totals 10-15%. It's running hot and the fans are fast and loud.
Any idea why this is happening? This just started recently, I thought it was due to 10.5.6 so I restored a back up I had of 10.5.5 which seemed to do the trick at first, but a few hours later the high cpu thing started again.

just went through the same process after weeks of frustration - bought a new battery but got only 80 to 100 minutes from it. After calibrating and zapping PRAM I got 4-5 hours on minimal power use, but soon the problem came back. I did not manage to find any help googling and searching support.apple,com. Now I looked at activity manager, and there at all processes, and ... bingo! PrintJobMgr was draining all the power... It's only then, when googling PrintJobMgr that I found this thread ... maybe this could be made more visible to other desperate users ...

Unusual high bandwith usage

I have an IMAP account with apple mail as the client. I get maybe 10 or 20 messages a day with few attachments. Yet my bandwith usage gets very high and sometimes goes over the limit. I also was getting blank messages in my mailbox as well as double messages. Sometimes I could see activity in the mail activity box but no messages were downloaded. Following advice from several people, I replaced the com.apple.mail.plist as well as the envelope index. It helped in that I have fewer blank messages and fewer double messages However my bandwith usuage is still going over the limit which is set at the max. I can't figure what to do other than replace Apple mail with Thunderbird.Is it possible there is some virus on my computer or someone is hijacking my email account? I don't have any problem if I use the IMAP account from the web.
Help!!

O.K. this is odd. I noticed that on the machine with the problems, the iMac, there were 2 envelope indexes: the envelope index and the envelope index-1. I shut down mail, then removed both and started mail and once again there were the same two indexes. I again shut down mail and this time removed the one called envelope index-1 and restarted mail. This time as I checked there was the envelope index and now something new called the envelope index-journal which kept on disappearing and reappearing every several seconds. I even restarted the computer and it still happens. Note this is in contract with the Macbook which has only one envelope index.If I shut down mail the second one the envelope index-journal disappears only to reappear when I open mail.

Ichatagent unusually high memory usage?

a few times in the last week or so, I have come home to find my MacBook's memory all but gobbled up by the ichatagent process.
Using activity monitor, it shows that ichatagent is using close to and sometimes OVER 1GB of memory (I have 4 GB installed). Typically it's using like 5MB, so I don't know what's up or if anyone else is seeing this. I mean, that's a 200% increase in usage, you know? Something's up.
It doesn't show up as not responding, and I can quit the process and all is well, but this is a Mac right, things are supposed to just work? why the heck is this process growing so much? Thank goodness I have lots of RAM and an idea of what I'm doing. What of the people that have the factory 1GB installed and can't figure out why their computer is so sluggish?

well I have one AIM account (that's actually an old .mac screen name), and bojour running. It didn't just happen once, I have observed the phenomenon on at least 3 different occasions. Quitting iChat isn't enough, either, the actual ichatAgent has to be force-quitted from the Activity Monitor in order to relinquish the RAM back to the rest of the system.
So, just those two instances are running at any one time, and it has happened multiple times. The only thing that has been common is that I have come home from work to notice this each time it has happened, after a long absence from the computer (when I get back the memory usage is 1GB). force-quitting the offending PID releases the memory. I have restarted it as well, and obviously that works, though it hasn't stopped it from happening again (the first time I saw the issue I did a restart).

Unusual High Data Usage

During the last billing cycle I have been keeping close watch over my data usage when I noticed a 32.99 MB data usage appear. Today I go back to check my account because I see that my data usage has increased by a substantial amount again. I look back through my data usage and now see all of the data from before has 'magically' changed. The 32.99 MB usage has vanished and all new numbers have appeared. Along with one usage that is marked as 402.41 MB! This is an absurd amount of usage! Can someone explain what is going on with my data usage?
Just to cover some bases: I turn off my Mobile Data when I'm not using it. I use my wireless internet for most of my activity. I do not watch movies or play data dependent games on my phone. I check facebook periodically throughout the day, but almost always while I'm connected to the Wi-Fi.
My biggest concern is that the data usage on my 'My Verizon' page is changing. Not changing with new entries, but changing PREVIOUS entries that I've already viewed and talked to customer support about. My data is building up quickly and it's only the fourth day into my billing cycle. I'm already very concerned. I don't want to have to pay extra by the time the month is up.

We want you to have the best data plan to meet your needs meakerism! What plan do you have currently? What make and model device? How many users on your account? Fluctuation in data usage can occur often. Please be assured we bill accurately. My Verizon usage estimates can delay up to 48 hours. Have you brought these concerns to our attention previously?
