Whats the slowest MAC out there that can run Creative Cloud?

I was wondering what the slowest MAC out there is that can run Creative Cloud?

On the new install with a default Logic Project, kernal_task (activity monitor) shows 600% CPU usage when ideling (no audio or midi playing.
Logic using 600% or total CPU at 600%?
If it's total CPU usage and not Logic itself.. check for a runaway mdworker routine... caused by a spotlight bug thats been longstanding and never totally fixed... Resolve by stopping the MDworker routine and then exclude all drives from spotlight.. and add back in just the system drive. Wait a couple of hours for spotlight to properly reindex the system drive and then test with Logic to see if CPU usage drops down to normal levels...
If it's Logic that is using 600% then something very weird is going on that is specific to your system or install as that simply isn't normal behaviour even with using just the internal hardware and CoreAudio.

  • I just got a new ipone5c and i can't get the light to go out unless I turn it off. Have tried all the things I read anyone out there that can help me??

    I just got a new iphone 5c this is my first smart phone. I have an Ipad so thought it would be easy.
    I downloaded the new software don't know if this changed anything. I have only had phone for 4 days
    but now the light won't shut off. I have to turn off the phone for it to go out. I did the holding down home
    button and start button till apple shows up. I checked to make sure the LED flash for alerts button was off.
    I don't know what else to do. Anyone out there have the same problem and have found an answer.
    Thank you!

    After powering the iPhone off and on, the light goes out but turns back on randomly or immediately after powering the iPhone on?
    Since nothing else you have tried has resolved it, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup first.
    If no change after that, try restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
    Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • Is there a security firm out there that can track and locate a stolen ipad if provided with its serial number

    Are there any security firms out there capable of locating a stolen passcode protected ipad (first generation)?

    I'm sure that you can find one that will do the job but are you willing to pay?  Figure that they'll charge you an hourly rate with no guarantee of results.  Hmmm...  $500/hour for ten hours.
    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If you have reason for unusual concern, the iPad should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • Is anyone out there that can help me?  Questions about connecting to new PC

    I had to replace my PC & do not have a backup for my phone.  I have copied photos to flashdrive to put on new one, but not sure what to do about contacts.  I have looked around the discussions & did the transfer purchases from iphone, so hopefully that will take care of things bought on the phone.  Someone discussed how to create a backup, by right clicking under device.  If I do this to my phone before I sync with the new computer, will I be able to create a backup that I can use to salvage all the info on my phone that I can't drag & store on my own?  Or will this delete all of my phone information, just like syncing with the new computer will?  I appreciate all of the anticipated help, this is not my forte!
    I posted last night, but no help............hoping it was just bad timing......

    Okay!  I have been dipping in the pool a toe at a time.  I backed up the phone, never could find it in my files, but whatever.  I synced notes, calendar & contacts, one at a time & everything copied to my PC.  Now, I have to move on to the real world & get things done.  But will attempt later to salvage music & ringtones.  If you have any advice.....
    Thanks for all of your help & support!!

  • Whats the highest software an A1225 iMac can run?

    I bought an older A1225 model iMac dual core intel and I was wondering if the computer can run the newest software that apple has released? If not, then what is the highest it can run?

    The highest OS X that a Core Duo can run is Snow Leopard 10.6
    An A1225 Core 2 Duo can run the current OS X, but you will want to max out the RAM.

  • Is there anybody out there that can answer the question about the backup on the external hard drive?

    I need some help please. I have been using an external hard drive to keep my itunes on because the file was so big. I understand that Itunes backs up all of the text, photos, contacts, ect.. everytime you sync your phone. Is this where itunes is storing all this information and if so how do I find it?

    Hi,
    I agree that the back up file is big and the file you saved was your iTunes Library (%USERPROFILE%\Music\iTunes) but, your iTunes saves your backup data in a different location.
    if you are on Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    if you are on Windows Vista/7: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    so i suggest you also back up those folder(s) in your computer to your external hard drive.(I recommend that you backup the iTunes & MobileSync folder found in AppData as you may need if in the future.)
    as for the iTunes Folder found in Music/My Music folder, that is your iTunes library and you should also backup that folder so that in the future, if anything happens to your computer, you will be able to still sync you iDevice on another computer with the same library.
    Note: In the Backup Folder, there will be a folder with a very long name. If you have several iDevices backed up, you will find it useful to know that each iDevice has a Identifier (UDID) and that the long name of the folder is your iDevice Indentifier (UDID) and the "-" next to the UDID is the Date followed by the time.
    eg.2b6f0cc904d137be2e1730235f5664094b831186-20101016-222905
    Meaning UDID was 2b6f0cc904d137be2e1730235f5664094b831186
    the Date was 16/10/2010 (20101016)
    and the Time was 22 Hours 29 Minutes 5 seconds (222905)
    to Find your iDevice UDID, refer to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • TS1468 I am having trouble with two cover flows duplicating themselves more than once, is there anyone out there that can help me with this, they are not duplicated in my itunes library, just the ipod.

    I am having trouble with two cover flows on my IPOD, duplicating themselves more than once, they haven't duplicated themselves in my Itunes library, just the ipod, could anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this problem. I have tried so many times, even if I restore the ipod, it still does the same thing. Please if possible email me at [email protected] with any suggestions.

    Aha! I have sorted it.
    For those with similar problems, the solution is this:

  • Are there viruses out there than can infect your Mac without you knowing anything. The virus is so stealth that it doesn't give any symptoms.

    I have reason to believe my job is syping on me and i would like to know if there are viruses out there that can infect your Mac without you knowing anything. I believe there is one called "Finfisher".

    FinFisher is an extremely high-priced spyware tool marketed to governments and law enforcement agencies. It's very unlikely that your employer would be able to obtain a copy.
    Further, at this time, there is no known malware capable of infecting an up-to-date Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Of course, physical access changes the rules. If your employer has had unsupervised physical access to your machine, they could have done anything.
    If they have had that access, and you truly believe that they have done that, there's only one way to clean your Mac up: erase everything and start over from scratch. See:
    How to reinstall Mac OS X from scratch

    People on older Macs are reporting very poor experiences with Yosemite. I have been recommending a minimum of 8 GB RAM and an SSD. If your machine is too old to support that, I strongly urge caution.
