Why is the latest update maxing out my CPU

After my Firefix updated the last time to 14.0.1, it has been totally unusable. As soon as it starts it just about maxes out my CPU's. Trying to do anything in it is impossible, menus take 4-5 seconds before they open. If I can get to a web site, trying to scroll down a web page takes several seconds to wait for each click to respond. Even typing in information takes several seconds between key strokes.
I've been a long time user of Firefox, but this has been the worse update and I'm preparing to move to another browser.

What kind of images are causing the problems?
Did you check that it isn't caused by JavaScript that is running on those pages?

Why does the latest update to photoshop destroy my performance?

I am a creative cloud memeber. I recently updated photoshop to the most recent version to keep things up to date. I've found that the performance has been severely affacted. I'm running on a powemac i7 with 16GB ram. Before the update I could have both photoshop and After Effects open with reletively good perfromance. Now, my computer virtually freezes, The program does not crash, but the CPU use is near %100 even when no task is being processed. Is it possible to downgrade to the last version? or atlease figure out the issue. it's makeing the programs unusable for me.

Since you are on a Mac, you can't directly change your display driver version, but you CAN double check to ensure you're on the latest OS update.
Some things that might help you regain performance:
1. You can go into the Photoshop - Preferences - Performance dialog, choose [Advanced Settings], and see whether any of the alternate drawing modes (Basic/Normal/Advanced) changes Photoshop's behavior. Remember, you need to quit Photoshop and restart it to properly test changes to these settings. I'd also suggest checking to ensure that Cache Levels is 2 or higher in that Performance panel.
2. Reset Photoshop preferences by pressing and holding the Command - Shift - Option key combination immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you're quick enough (and you have to be very quick to get the keys down), you'll be prompted to confirm deletion of the current preferences. This will lead to Photoshop regenerating an all-defaults preference set. You can still restore a named workspace, but you'll have to re-do all your custom preferences.

Why does the Latest update for iOS 7 say firmware not compatible

Hi,
I have tried updating my daughters iPad mini (original not retina) with latest update. I have it connected to the mac via iTunes and it downloads the update ok. When it tries to install it it says the firmware is not compatible. It is a wifi only model. I have updated 4 iPhones, 1 identical iPad mini and my iPad 2 with no problems. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Reset iPad and try again.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

Why since the latest update a person who has an iphone gets my messages but I get answers by e-mail

Check your iMessage settings on under Settings > Messages. check to see if you have your phone number in that list for "Receive at"

Why did the latest update (31.1.2) delete database files for primary email account in profile?

After restarting TB to apply the 31.1.2 update, all of the database files for my primary email account were apparently deleted. Restarting TB again got it to start syncing with the IMAP server again, but it has to download around 100,000 messages again because of this. Was this a design decision or is there a problem with the update itself? And why did it only affect my primary email account and leave the other 4 (much smaller ones) unscathed?

Account5 is the one affected which is still attempting to sync. It also appears that my sync choices were altered without permission or notification. I always keep the Deleted folder and the POP subfolder from Hotmail accounts disabled since it is merely duplicating content in other folders. When re-checking the sync settings because it was taking so long, I found that the POP subfoler was selected for sync again.
The crash report is from a later TB crash, the first one ever on this system.

FYI The latest update wipe out my Windows user info resulting in a locked computer. had to restart in safe mode and restore my system. Basiclly it killed my whole computer. If I was not a programmer , fixing it would have been nearly impossible.

The new apple itunes update . corrupted or deleted my user profile in Windows 7 home premium.resulting in a locked computer with no way of getting into windows.

Never heard of that happening before and given the way the OS works that should not be possible. Sounds like something was awry with your computer before you started the process.
What program did you write to fix it and in what language? You might want to share this with Microsoft so they can look into it further.

Why did the latest update delete my music from my phone and laptop?

I updated my iphone with the new ISO and it also updated iTunes. Some where during the process it deleted my music from my Iphone and my music folder on my laptop. Is there a solution to this problem? Right now I am not very happy with either of these applications. Not only that it add stuff to my iphone that I will never use and can not delete it from the iphone.

HT1222 why is the latest update for iphone 4 only wi-fi downloadable

I think that my phone has been comprimised so I need a direct download. When I went to update on my phone it states that i need a wi-fi connection. True?

Why are the latest updates of AME and Premiere Pro CC 2014 only reading 4gb of ram?

I am running Windows 7 64 bit ultimate with 8gb of ram. The previous versions ripped through rendering, but I don't want to go back to revert back as i have been working with the new version now and the old one won't open the projects made by the new one. I also really like the new interface.
In task manager all adobe processes come up with *32.
How do I install the new versions as 64 bit?

Take a look at your GPU usage with something like GPU-Z to see if both Premiere versions are using the same amount of MPE GPU hardware acceleration. Actually with CC 2014 it might work faster because Adobe added in more 4k effects/features for GPU acceleration.
You might want to download our Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM) and run it on both versions. The H.264 very complex timeline has 4K material in it and usually shows Premiere Pro 8.xxx take about only half the time that Premiere Pro CS6 take to export that same timeline.

Why are the SSL connections maxing out at 256?

We are running a test and the maximum number of SSL connections keeps stopping at 256, even though the RQThrottle is set to 1024. For HTTP, we are able to get to 1024 connections. It appears that we are able to "burst" above 256 connections for SSL, but the excess connections close and we always return to 256. Our test is creating 500 SSL connections.

You have answered your question. If the two simular cameras (XT - T1i) with the same settings, with the same lens and in the same settings, is not making nearly the same photo, there is something wrong with one camera.

Are there any known issues with the latest update to iTunes on Windows 7 maxing out the processor and nearly bringing the system to a hault.

Has anyone experienced an issue with the latest update to iTunes (11.2.0.115) for Windows where iTunes pegs out the processor at 97%, 98%, and holds there for maybe 15 minutes before dropping to 50%. During that time, the system is basically useless. You just have to ride it out. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium.

I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

How to find out what the latest update is for something from apple's site?

i've never been able to do this, and has been a recurring problem for many years:
how can you, using apple's web site -- presumably the support or downloads section -- find out what the latest update for/of a certain product is?
without going into the details, the software update app is of no use to me.
for example, i have a airport extreme base station 54 mbps. how do i go about finding out what it's latest software is? do such products not have a web page which has the latest update linked to from it?
why is it so hard, impossible i find, to find out what the latest software is?
any pointers much appreciated. (i'm not particularly looking for the answer to "what't the latest update for a airport extreme base station 54 mbps?" but a general method for finding out the latest update for anything using apple's web site)
thanks very much.

If you use the Advance Search function:
http://search.info.apple.com/
you can filter results to give downloads for the search words airport extreme base station. The return will be in date order from newest to oldest. Yo ucan also designate word pairs of groups to narrow the search.
