Updated I Web on Leopard - now uses 80-90% of CPU power!

Hi,
I manage several websites using Iweb every day. I just updated ("small bug fixes"), and now it's worse than ever, using 80-90% of CPU in my Activity Monitor without even doing anything in the program, just opening it and letting it sit for a second.
I do have an older Macbook - I have 2 GHz Intel Core Duo and 2GB Ram - but I've been running several applications simultaneously including Iweb with no issues.
Can I downgrade to the old version? Can Apple warn me when an upgrade may not be compatible with my system?
Thank you,
JD

What version of iWeb are you running? What level of Leopard are you at? After updating did you repair disk permissions with Disk Uitlitiy?
Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home()/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.

Seems Firefox is suddenly using a lot of CPU power

My desktop, recently, started sounding like it was really laboring while I wander around the net. And there's a delay as I type messages like this... the letters show up a second or two behind the keystrokes.
I looked at CPU usage (Win XP with all updates) and while I'm doing this, it sometimes peaks to 35% or higher for Firefox.exe.
My laptop has recently started telling me Firefox is using a lot of memory and I should close and restart Firefox. (Also updated Win XP)
It's becoming a big PITA...

It didn't show up when i searched for the problem on Google and it didn't show up when i search here on Firefox's support site either.
And the reason it didn't because it's mostly not about my problem.
'''If' it was one of those things then i would have a high CPU usage the minute i opened my browser, but i don't.'''
'''It will use a lot of CPU power (after a couple of hours) even if i don't do anything '''
And yes hardware acceleration is on and so is submit performance data and i use Ad Block Plus, and there isn't a correctly working theme or add-on out there that could use 50-60% of a 3.2GHz quad core CPU
I don't think this is something that can be fixed that easily

Firefox 9 after a while starts using a lot of CPU power, need help!

After a while (2 hours or more) firefox 9 (not the plugin container) starts eating up more and more CPU power, usually just to 25% (because usually i close it and restart it after that), but today i had work to do and i couldn't restart it right then and that resulted in firefix using about 50-60% of a 4 core 3.2GHz CPU (AMD Phenom II X4 955).
I'm not doing anything extraordinary just writing emails and just plain normal browsing)
I only notice this because my CPU fan speeds up and makes a lot more noise if using more then 20% CPU power.
I'm pretty sure regular users wouldn't notice anything until it started to slow down their whole PC
I'm using Firefox 9.0.1 running on Win 7 64bit, i have about 20-30 tabs always open (loading) and i haven't tried disabling any add-ons.
I've read on forums that this might have something to do with flash data piling up, or with having to many tabs open.

I've updated a web page and now the links will not open in any browser except safari

I've updated a web site and the links no longer work. I'm using Dreamweaver. The page works perfectly in Safari but not in Explorer or Firefox and I don't know what to change to fix this.
== not sure what to add here

I thought I did post the page. Anyway, I did solve the problem. I'm working in Dreamweaver on files originally created in GoLive. The CSS from GL has to be completely expunged from the file or Firefox has this issue (doesn't respond to links). This, even though the problem had no obvious connection to the linked text. Interestingly, images with links worked fine.
I spent 45 minutes on the line with Adobe tech support and they didn't catch this. But while talking to them it occurred to me.
thanks, Bob

Updated imac to snow leopard. now adobe flash player is blocked. adobe site will show download button. disabled anitvirus. still not showing.

Help, I tell you this is ridiculous can't anything be easy anymore. I updated my imac to snow leopard and you tube was working. Apple required a software update, so I continued and now my Adobe flash player doesn't work anymore. I get a blocked error. When I go to adobe to download updated software the button doesn't display to start the process. It says your anitivirus software must allow you to install software. I disabled avast anitvirus software and still do not see a download now button. ugh!

Information. There are some recommendations.

Since downloaded the last update, Firefox uses 90% of my CPU power slowing my pc to a crawl, why?

I switch on my pc and open Firefox and then the whole pc slows down to a total crawl, the page i am trying to open will take about 5 minutes to open. I try to close Frirefox but the whole program freezes and I have to force close it, sometimes I have to shut down the entire computer and start again. When I open task manager to see if there are other things running in the background it shows Firefox as using up a whopping 90-99% of my cpu power. If I wait for up to 20 minutes from when I first turn on my pc the problem seems to go away. But there are no other programs running on the machine to make it so slow. Not sure if this is the usual crap I have to deal with for running Vista or if its something to do with your latest update, I had no problems until after I had the update.

Does Time Machine use a lot of CPU power if I leave it on ?

If I leave Time Machine on and have it automatically back up every hour, will that use much of my cpu ?

minimal usage after the initial backup.
Look at your Activity Monitor and see for yourself.

Updated mac to snow leopard now safari won't open

I just updated my iMac to snow leopard, as I was having problems updating iTunes.
Now safari says it can't open with this version of mac snow leopard.
Any suggestions?

Does updating multiple apps on my MBP use a lot of battery power?

Tonight my MBP battery % dropped AFTER I updated seven iTunes apps, most being bug fixes. It went from 85% to 73% after the updates were completed. Earlier I was using my Beats Pill with NO drop. I had already put the Beats Pill off by the time I did the updates.
Do updates use THAT much battery power?

Do you mean Mac app store apps? Running Mavericks on a 2011 Macbook Pro should handle it fine, but it can depends on the type and size of the seven apps. It also depends on you wi-fi connection and your screen/keyboard brightness. Wi-fi updates can use a lot of battery because it's time consuming, especially if they're large files.

Is Photos using a lot of CPU?

Photos is now using a lot of CPU. This is after it converted my iPhoto library. Is this normal? Is anyone else seeing this on their machine? Here's a screen shot with
Photos hidden (not actively being used).

It's probably still building the library and optimizing. Mine is still way up there as well. I'm going to let it run over night and see where it's at in the morning.

CS5 not using all available memory/CPU

I'm sure this is the opposite complaint you usually get, but for some reason AME will only sometimes use all available memory/CPU power. I'm on an 8 core Mac Pro, and while AME will sometimes register as using ~%1,000 CPU and just blitz through videos, other times it hovers around %100 and processes at regular speed. Right now, for example, it's using about 600 MB of memory, leaving over 3.6 GB free. Is there any way to assure that it always runs at max speed?

There's another thread with a similar set of issues. Other than the disk subsystem, there is another possibility for the bottleneck. That is, the codecs that are used to decode the input video files may not be efficiently multithreaded. Hence the codec responsible for creating the output file, the CPU and the disk subsystem all could be lightning fast and collectively they may all be waiting for frames to be served up by the decoder. You can check whether the disk subsystem is the bottleneck by creating a RAM disk (assuming that you have enough system RAM) and both putting all input files on and writing the output files to the RAM drive.

Why can't I make Lightroom use all the CPU-Power (all cores) available for generating Previews?

Dear Lightroom Team,
I've been a Lightroom user since the very first Beta, and I am truly happy with the work you deliver. It changed my way of editing forever, and you guys keep improving it.
Yet there is that one question that bothers me, and that i'm looking for an answer for.
My Workflow has the generate Previews checkbox checked by standard. I usually import between 150 and 2000 photos at once, on occaions it can be up to 5000 photos. Generating Previews always takes a significant amount of time, and Lightroom is only using 25% of my CPU Power while doing so. (using a MacBook Pro 8,2)
I understand the concept, that only using 25% CPU enables me to use the computer while waiting for the Previews. But most of the time I just grab myself a cup of coffee, do the dishes or other stuff, while waiting for the Previews. Usually I rund out of things to do, because it takes ages to Process all the photos. So I would really love to make Lightroom use ALL the cpu power possible.
I'm sure you guys have spent a lot of thoughts while coding this and have a very good answer handy. Looking forward reading it!
all the best,
Wolfgang

On my four-year old Windows 7 i7-860 system LR4.4.1 takes ~0.5 sec. per Canon 5D MKII 21Mp raw image to render 'Standard-Sized' previews with LR Catalog Settings 'Standard Preview Size' set to '2048' pixels. I consider that pretty fast!
I usually build 1:1 full-size previews on import, which takes ~5.0 sec. per image. Processor utilization varies between 15-50% for Standard-Sized previews and 15-65% for 1:1 previews. I consider this pretty slow, but it doesn't stop me from working on the images inside LR's Library and Develop modules.
I wait until 'Copy and import photos' has completed and can see Preview Building has started. LR doesn't slow-down much even with the 1:1 preview building going on in the background. Have you tried working in LR during the preview building (i.e. sorting, rating, keywording, and Develop adjustments)?

Scroll is using a lot of CPU

Hello
In my application I have a general scroll that contains a lot of tables and tabs.
The scroll is working slow and is using a lot of CPU power.
Table scrolls are working fine.
Could be something wrong in the code?
Thank you

Of course there could be something wrong in your code. Can you post an SSCCE that reproduces this behaviour?

I updated to 20.0 and now my web client I use to monitor my home security (My-Q see) no longer works. What do I need to do.

My remote monitoring for my security ( My-Q see) worked fine until I updated to 20.0. Now Firefox pops up asking me to install web plug in kit. when I do, it still does not work even after restart.

I have the same problem with Firefox 20.0 and 20.0.1 .
I have tried changing various Firefox settings with no luck.
In Firefox version 19.x I was able to access the Q-See application with its native plug-in which is downloaded from the Q-See DVR, it didn't require any additional plug-in's.
I am providing some additional technical information that may be helpful to a Firefox expert.

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.
