  • Finder has heavy CPU usage: Causing fan to spin constantly

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to Leopard. The upgrade went perfectly. The only thing thats annoying me is that the FINDER is causing heavy CPU usage which is causing my MacBook's fan to spin constantly. I've figured out that the problem is most likely FINDER from the Activity Monitor (I've found that stopping finder eventually causes the fans to spin down and eventually stop.)
    Are other people having this problem, let me know? Is apple aware of this problem and will they fix it?

    Hi
    I'm not sure whether this helps, but I've noticed that having icon preview switched on (View - Show View Options) can result in a significant amount of CPU usage if you open a folder containing a large number of files, or a small number of movie files etc. On my older Mac, opening a folder containing a handful of WMV files can result in 20 seconds of 50% CPU usage, as it attempts to replace each generic icon with a content specific icon. I have a hunch it's actually opening QuickTime (and Flip4Mac) transparently in the background to capture a frame from each movie and use it as the icon. In the end I switched icon preview off - by default it seems to be on in Leopard. I guess it's most likely to affect older Macs and laptops, in terms of the CPU percentage required. It also seems to result in a fair bit of disk activity as well, again most likely to affect laptops.

  • ITunes 10.6 has High CPU Usage when switched to Mini Player

    iTunes has high CPU usage when switched to mini player. The CPU usage goes to 80-100% when the next song is played in Mini Player. iTunes then stays at high CPU usage.
    Upon exiting mini player the CPU usage will drop back to the normal 0-5% levels.
    This only happens when playing from the main music library; which my library is at 7089 items, 42.04 GB.
    When playing from a smaller playlist such as a smart playlist with about 15 songs in it for example, the CPU usage stays low/normal.

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • NMIndexStoreSvr.exe causes high CPU usage

    Within 2 - 24 hours after I restart my computer I'll notice that the CPU fan is very loud. When I open Windows Task Manager the CPU is at 95-100% usage. When I look at processes I see that the file "NMIndexStoreSvr.exe" is the biggest culprit. When I end that process, my CPU usage drops to 5% almost immediately.
    Ending this process does not seem to affect Itunes. Has anyone else run across this. Is there a fix or a way to keep that file from running when I start up Windows?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I saw your post regarding the audiodg.exe error message. I did some research into that message and as you mentioned most of it is for Windows 7, I can find very little for Windows 8. What other games do you notice this issue with? I looked into DOTA2 and it lists XP, Vista and Windows 7 under the requirements but doesn't mention Windows 8.

  • Crystalras.exe consuming 100% CPU usage

    Hi everyone,
    When we try to open an instance of one of our Crystal reports from InfoView, the crystalras.exe process runs at 100% CPU usage and the report never shows up. After a few minutes, we get the following message:
    The request timed out because there has been no reply from the server for 600,000 milliseconds.
    Does anyone know where the problem could come from? Could this be because the report is retrieving too much data?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Dear Both,
    I traced the RAS server as suggested by Tim and obtained a log that - I have to admit - is quite difficult for me to understand. Could I send it to one of you for examination? Thanks in advance.
    Ted, please find below my answers to your questions:
    Just to close out possible data source issues, are the reports going against Business Views or Universes?
    The report is based on Business Views.
    Do you have Processing Extensions specified for the reports?
    Sorry but what are Processing Extensions?
    Also, when you checked in the Crystal Reports Designer, was it Designer installed on the same machine where the page server and RAS server is running?
    Yes, it is installed on the same machine.
    Also, since it affects both Page Server and RAS, it may require CRPE traces to get to the bottom of this (CRPE - 'creepy' - is the CR engine used by both the Page and RAS server).
    I will certainly open a case with SAP to have them help me on that.
    Thank you both for your help. It is very appreciated.

  • Why does SCHDNEGACTION scheduler job have high CPU usage?

    Hi,
    In my embeded device(double CPU 1.5 G HZ ) SCHDNEGACTION scheduler job has 90% CPU usage. Why does the scheduler job have so high CPU usage? What is the job doing for?

    Hi,
    This job is not created by the scheduler. You will have to find out what component creates the job and what exactly it does to figure out why it is using high cpu and what would be the effects of disabling it (which would prevent it from running).
    Hope this helps,

  • MobileClient.exe holds 100% CPU usage in Citrix

    Hi
    We have successfully got Mobile Sales 5.0 SP11 working on Citrix but unfortunately, as soon as we have more than 10 people working on it, the application hangs with 100% CPU usage
    This server has 4 CPU's and should not max out with so few users.
    The infrastructure is set out with the application and the database sitting on different virtual servers with a gigabit connection between them.
    The locking point always seems to be on the application server.
    Any ideas?

  • Itunes 7.01. 100% CPU usage workaround

    I've discovered that, like a lot of users 7.01 is gobbling up CPU time when its running causing everything to go slowly or even grinding to a halt not matter if it's downloading, synching etc.....
    However..... if you minimise itunes to the task bar the CPU time drops....in my case from 100% to around 6% max !!!!!
    I never had this with ver 6 which I recently reverted back to but thought I'd give it (7.01) a try after a clean re-install of XP (alas no) and I'll soon be re-reverting to ver 6 again
    Self built Athlon 64 3400+ Nvidia 6800T 2gb mem 250 gb SATA   Windows XP Pro   5th Gen 60gb Black

    This may sound like the oddest thing I've ever heard, but it actually is true that "minimized iTunes" behaves in a far better way than "maximized iTunes" - and I'll never be able to understand why.
    In my case, it was with synching iPod with iTunes: minimized iTunes takes about 4 minutes, maximized iTunes takes more than 1 hour!!
    Go figure!!!

    Dear all,
    I had ASDM 6.2 with ASA 8.2 installed on my pc (windows 7 32 bit). When I launch ASDM process go to 80-90% and my RAM go to 2.5G. when I am looking on the process on the task manager there is a process “javaw.exe” linked with ASDM.
    I have done a lot of search on the google/SUN site and forums but I didn’t found anything to resolve this issue.
    Have someone had or have some issue with ASDM? Or have you the solution for this issue?
    Thanks a lot
    Note: I upgraded my ASDM to the latest version 6.4 but still have same issue.

    Hi Jazaib,
    As other said, you need to find out what was changed. In additional to environment/load changes, extra load could be triggered by suboptimal execution plans due to parameter sniffing and/or stale statistics. For example, you can have the situation when frequently
    executed query was recompiled using atypical parameter set and cached plan leads to much heavier I/O CPU activity.
    Other factor that often lead to CPU load is bad T-SQL code (multistatement UDF, imperative code, cursors) so check your application.
    You can also run the script below, which returns you the information on most CPU intensive queries in scope of the cached plans. Alternatively, you can setup XEvent/SQL Trace sessions capturing statements with cpu_time exceeding some duration.
    SELECT TOP 50
    SUBSTRING(qt.TEXT, (qs.statement_start_offset/2)+1,
    CASE qs.statement_end_offset
    WHEN -1 THEN DATALENGTH(qt.TEXT)
    ELSE qs.statement_end_offset
    END - qs.statement_start_offset)/2)+1) as SQL,
    qs.execution_count,
    (qs.total_logical_reads + qs.total_logical_writes) / qs.execution_count as [Avg IO],
    qp.query_plan,

  • Distnoted, heavy cpu usage

    Hello,
    System
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25)
    MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
    2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    I'm trying to figure out why the distnoted process is running rampant on my system all of a sudden. It will spin up the CPU to 320% or so for a few minutes, and sometimes causes my system to shut down. This is a major issue when on battery power.
    I have searched many sources and have seen eMac memory leak updates and such but I don't have an eMac. I've did a clean installation of OS X Yosemite and all of the applications and all was well until recently, this one has me stumped.
    Here's a snippet of my console log, this is at the very end of the issue.

  • MacBook Pro shuts off during video conversion/heavy CPU usage

    I'm not quite sure how to troubleshoot this, and I'm curious if anyone has experienced this, or has any suggestions.
    Whenever I do a video conversion, about 10 minutes in, my MacBook Pro just shuts off. Some examples of the kind of video conversions I'm doing are, exporting an EyeTV recording to iTunes, or converting a video already in iTunes to AppleTV or iPod/iPhone. Both of these examples are using Quicktime, I'm assuming?
    I did a clean reinstall of Tiger, and the problem was still there. And, after upgrading to Leopard, the problem is still there.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Could be due to overheating. Install iStat Menus, show CPU use, CPU temp, and fan speed in the menu bar, and start converting. If CPU use is pegged, fans are at 6000 rpm, and temp rises to/above 90 C, then your MBP shuts off, that's the issue.
    There are some early models of MBPs that had too much thermal paste, leading to excessive heat build up.

  • Nissanlvd.exe taking up cpu usage primecoin

    the only reference I saw to this file was on an italian forum. His symptoms mirrored mine. nissanlvd.exe running taking processing power. We have narrowed it down to primecoin miner being run and making connections outside our network. has this hit anyone
    else..could this have been addon software..there is no add remove program for primecoin. We strengthened the firewall and the connections have stopped and the process has not started again. Will reboot this weekend to see if it comes back.
    Would like to know if anyone else has seen this?
    Is there a way I can tell for sure when it was installed and by who?
    Thanks

    the other possibility is that someone in our org  was trying to mine primecoins..we were familiar with bitcoins but there were numerous wallets under the jackson directories for primecoin. The other thing is that an EULA asked to install the product
    and someone said yes. Since we hardened the firewall there is no weird activity on that server. It just seems peculiar that the only references to this are one Italian forum and our system. There is no issues with other servers on the network. There is a distinct
    possibility that we were hacked/invaded. I will reiterate that it seems weird that this isn't more prevalent if we were hacked..even on our own network. We are taking a slow approach to this but any other suggestions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Opening signed PDF's is slow + generates high CPU usage

    Dear,
    I'm using the latest version 11.0.06.  Normal PDF's open quick.  PDF's signed with a signature take about 5 seconds to open, a big difference.  I'm running Windows 8.1 but the issue is the same on Windows 7 SP1 (fully patched systems).  When the PDF is opening, the CPU spikes to 30 or 50%.  Since I'm administering some virtual PC's also (with less performant virtual CPU's then physical CPU's), the PDF's take even 8 seconds to open in this environment.  The environment is quite optimized with settings like disabling update checks,...
    Some things I tried :
    - Disable antivirus (no difference)
    - Disable messages when I launch / Don't show messages while viewing (in General preferences)
    - Disable check signatures / signature revocation
    - Disable protected mode at startup
    Another test I did is installing foxit reader.  This PDF reader opens the signed PDF's as quick a normal PDF's and evening quicker then Adobe reader is opening normal PDF's.
    Any advice on further troubleshooting steps ?  I would prefer to stay using Adobe reader instead of migrating to another software.
    Best regards / thanks in advance for your help,
    Wim

    Hi Deepak,
    Thanks for your feedback.  Both on Windows 7 and 8.1, this value doesn't exist.  This also describes another issue but it was worth trying anyway.
    You can test on your own system by using this example pdf : http://blogs.adobe.com/security/SampleSignedPDFDocument.pdf

  • ITunes 10.5.2.11 APSDaemon.exe Win XP

    I recently purchased a new iPad2 for my wife for her Birthday.  I wanted to sync it with my Windows Computer.  I downloaded iTunes 10.5.2.11 to my Windows XP Computer with the following specs:

    Since installing iTunes APSDaemon.exe is using 98% of CPU resources almost constantly rendering the computer unusable.  I understand it is used for the Sync process (Push) for the iPad.  The iPad will not sync either over Wi-Fi or by USB connection to my computer.
    The computer has no Malware on it, if PC Tools Internet Security Full Scan and their Alternate Operating System Scanner Scan as well as Malware Bytes Scanner is any indication.  When I disable APSDaemon.exe with the Task Manager, The computer runs fine but of course will not sync with the iPad.
    I have purchased many Apple Mac computers and a Apple Lisa in the past for use in my office.  I have personally owned an Original Mac, Mac SE and Mac II.  I still run Filemaker Pro and Claris Works on this computer.  The most memorable part of these purchases was their ease of use, software stability and ease of networking.  The iPad2 3G with 64 GB was purchased because we live in a rural area with dial up internet.  It is approximatly an 18 mile drive to the nearest Mac Donalds to a Wi-Fi hot spot.  The iPad is not allowed to download large Apps over 3G by Apple, you must have Wi-Fi apparently.  Our banking app is abt 50 MB.  I was able to down load it to my computer over dial up internet but can neither sync it to her iPad or download it to her iPad over 3G.  My Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is working properly because usning FingerPrint on the Windows XP Computer  I am able to print either to the HP LaserJet5 which is cable connected to the network or to the HP DeskJet 870 Cxi connected directly to the computer from the iPad.
    The ipad2 was so user friendly that we had to make a 60 mile trip to Dallas to the Apple store where they had Wi-Fi to get it set up to see the home screen.  Very un-Mac (Apple) like. 
    I realize my computer is old but works well.
