  • Why does coreaudiod consume so much cpu?

    I looked into activity monitor and found coreaudiod consuming 30-40% cpu cycles on my iBook. I have no songs, videos or alert sounds playing.
    Can any one tell me what is happening? Why is coreaudiod bugging my cpu? How can i prevent it?

  • I cannot watch Flash vids because Firefox uses too much CPU.

    Firefox has become untenable because it uses too much CPU and disrupts Flash videos.
    I've tried disabling or changing the values of plugins. Installing older versions. Nothing helps. It just sucks. It makes me want to pull someone's lungs out.

    Everyone has this problem, since Firefox rigged one of its Plug-ins (something to do with crash reports) about 06 months ago, to max out CPU, thereby sabotaging computer performance (including Flash videos).
    Why or how they haven't fixed it before now strains belief. I have seen the same complaint everywhere. It is a major fuck-up. People want to abandon Firefox in droves, except that none of the other browsers have decent add-ons like pop-up blocker.
    Sort it out, Firefox.

  • Quicktime useing to much CPU

    I checked the Activity Monitor while using QuickTime 7.1.2 and it said initially it was using 98% of CPU with choppy video then later dropped to 60% with video o.k. The video was from my moms Kodak Easy Share camera and the video was located in iPhoto since the camera takes the video and puts it on a 1 gigabyte flash card. Why would QuickTime use so much CPU power for such a small video?

    I try to play it from my hard drive and it is within iPhoto, iPhoto launches quicktime player and when I look at Activity Monitor it says it is useing 98% for about five seconds and then drops to 60%, the video never had problems before I installed 2 gigabytes of RAM but that couldn't be the problem. My applications seem to be using more memory now. I used to have 512 megabytes of RAM. The video is MPEG-4 Video, u-Law 2:1 and the extension is .MOV

  • Apple mobile device service uses too much cpu time

    Apple mobile device service uses too much cpu time, from 88% to 99% of the CPU time.

    The best way to fix this is to completely remove all aspects of iTunes then reinstall. Step by step directions are on this article. Good luck

  • How much CPU should the Agent (in general) be using on an Exchange 2010 Server

    Hello
    Can someone please help me with the following question.
    I was asked by the Exchange admin if the HealthService.exe process should be using around 10% of the CPU on a 6 core system.
    First of I am note sure if the agent can use more than one core and if the % CPU as shown in Task Manager reflects all cores for a given process e.g. does 10% mean 10% across all cores or just one core.
    I explained the Agent is running many workflows and instigating other tasks i.e. monitoring host and perhaps cscript etc. So it is difficult to say how much CPU is normal!
    However does anyone else have an Exchange 2010 environment (I am using SCOM 2007 R2 CU6) and if so how much CPU is it using over a few minutes?
    also, if there a canned report I can run which shows how much CPU the agent is using over time.
    Thanks in advance

    There are many scripts and monitoring workflows in general that run in the Exchange management pack. CPU may spike periodically while scripts are executing. However, this may be a SyncTime issue in the Exchange pack - since there are many scripts in the
    pack, it would be recommended to cascade script runtime by using SyncTime configuration. I haven't taken a look at this pack in some time, so cannot comment on whether this practice was used. In general, a typical SCOM agent should not use more than 1-5% CPU
    time, sustained. But, again, for heavily scripted packs like the Exchange pack, you will likely see CPU spikes regularly.

  • Firefox uses too much CPU ff3.6.3 any HELP?

    Firefox uses way too much CPU. Running MAC OSX and ff 3.6.3 using "activity monitor" shows Firefox uses typically 96% of my CPU !!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I noticed my computer was getting s- l -o w- e -r

    Hello Kr.
    This kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
    #run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe-mode] to disable all extensions, themes and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins, themes or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
    #update all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
    #disable all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
    #enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. Also, try the theme you want to have installed so see if that is what's causing the problem. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension/theme, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
    #you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons. If you want to keep using those problematic add-ons, please contant their author for support.
    Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
    #try reinstalling Firefox. No data will be lost. You can get the latest version for free at [http://www.getfirefox.com/ getfirefox.com]. If that doesn't fix the problem, proceed;
    #do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
    #disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix your issues with Firefox, proceed;
    #check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable them to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
    #check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't work, proceed to the following point;
    #update your modem/router software. There have been some reports that some modem/router software may cause Firefox and other browsers to loose performance and/or stability. If updating doesn't fix your issue, try other versions of the software, if possible. If you need support with this, contact your modem/router manufacturer. If this doesn't help, proceed;
    #clean up your OS registry, using appropriate software. Make sure you've followed my instructions correctly, but if this all doesn't work, [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles create a new Firefox profile] (this can be temporary, of course) and see if the issues persist. Report here the results, so we can't help you further.

  • Why am i using so much data since downloading IOS8

    why am i using so much data since downloading IOS8

    Don't know -- but you can do a little detective work by going to Settings > Cellular and look at the apps in the section titled "Use Cellular Data For." Each app that has used data will show the amount used since the statistics were last reset. If you tap on "System Services" at the bottom of that list it will show the details of system usage. You can reset the statistics at the bottom of the screen. Checking those numbers for a while should help identify what is going on.

  • What is "Bash"?  And why is it using 15-20% of my CPU?

    I went to the apple store today and they expressed concern about "Bash" in my Activity monitor taking up so much CPU (and causing my fan to run all the time).  They didn't know what it was.  Does anyone know what it is and how to get rid of it?
    Thanks! Kate

    bash is the standard shell under OS X – meaning it is the standard program to interface with the operating system’s Darwin underpinnings (technically, /bin/sh is the standard shell, but that has been a copy of /bin/bash since OS X 10.3). It is the process that is launched when you open a Terminal.app window – an interactive shell.
    bash can also be launched without a terminal window – a non-interactive shell –, for instance to execute shell scripts, often denoted by the file suffix .sh. That is the case here – bash is running the script /usr/bin/stkLaunchAgent.sh, and something in this script is keeping your system busy.
    Now, /usr/bin/stkLaunchAgent.sh is not part of an OS X install – it is some kind of third party addition and as such is not present on my system, meaning I can only guess, but I’d say:
    from its name part “LaunchAgent” and the fact it starts with your system, that it is triggered by a LaunchAgent – a small definition file used by OS X’ launchd, the system mechanism for starting scripts and non-interactive programs on schedule, boot or other events. That part I‘d qualify as an educated guess.
    from the fact your troubles began with the installation of your Vertex SSD, and the fact that the crucial difference between SSDs and HDs is the first do not take kindly to defragmentation and similar low-level interventions into their structure, that the script launched by the agent in question might be trying to do some operation on the drive the Vertex SSD does not accept – which keeps the script running and bash busy. Now, that part is only a wild, wild guess, but…
      How to find out what the script does:  Open a Terminal window and do open -e /usr/bin/stkLaunchAgent.sh to have a peek into the shell script (that command will open it in TextEdit – terminate it in Activity Monitor first) – that should give you the means to see what exactly is running.
    How to get rid of it:
    You’ll have to get rid of the LaunchAgent, if it is indeed one. launchd LaunchAgent files are in plist format and found in
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents – for the current user account only
    /Library/LaunchAgents – for all user accounts
    /System/Library/LaunchAgents – system level agents (should not by rights be found here!)
    They are usually named in reverse domain notation (tld.domain.process.plist). Depending if the user account of your runaway bash is yours or not, you should look in one of the first two locations above for a likely plist (if you have Xcode installed, you can QuickLook them easily). The correct procedure to stop it is to remove it from launchd’s process list through
    launchctl unload tld.domain.process
    which will unload and stop the process (note you omit the plist suffix).
    There is also a GUI for handling launchd files, Peter Borg’s Lingon (make sure to get “Lingon”, not “Lingon 3”, which is a dumbed down version safe for vanilla use), which might be more convenient than manually rooting through the file locations.

  • Thunar-vfs-pixbuf-thumbnailer-1 using too much CPU

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Why is FF sucking up so much CPU time & Why can I not preform a search on FAQ's?

    Why is FF sucking up so much CPU time &
    Why can I not preform a search on FAQ's?
    FF is sucking up way too much CPU time from 30 to 98% for great/long periods of time on a Sony Vaio laptop platform running P4 CPU w/XP prof w/SP3 & 2Gb RAM.
    Why can I not preform a search on FAQ's so that might not have repeat a question that might have been asked previously?
    Searching 24xx pages is not my idea of how to spend precious time to find an answer that I am looking for.

    Safe mode or turning off the plugins does not work with this bug. If they are still installed firefox will open plugincontainer, the plugins need to be uninstalled or disabled at OS level.
    "''clearing Cookies will start an instance of plugin-container for almost all of the plugins installed on the system, regardless of enable/disable state for each one.''"

  • Timer use too much cpu

    I don't see any reason why it'd be taking 20% CPU.
    What is leading you to believe that the Timer is taking 20% CPU?
    Have you tried putting a simple System.out.println in the run method, just to see that it is executing at the frequency you'd expect?

  • High CPU "% User" after update, but no process using much CPU...

    Hi guys,
    since I did the recent system or security update for my Macbook, my computer crashes a lot and freezes. The fans run constantly, and the weirdest thing is, that in my Activity Monitor no program is actually using much CPU capacity.
    BUT, the usage screen below (wih the red and green squares) is showing that the system is running under full capacity. The cause for that is mentioned next to it the user percentage display "% User" shows values between 50 and 90% or so.
    What is causing it, and how can I get rid of it. At the current state I can't even surf the net properly as Firefox and Safari freeze constantly.
    Thanks for you help in advanced.
    A desperate RigoX.....

    Sorry forgot to give the below details.

    Simple thing to try would be to disable composite and see how you fare then
    Check the logs first, though
