Why iTunes 11 using so much CPU?

Check this out:
What gives? It's using 10+ cores while idle? Furthermore, why doesn't my CPU meter show reflect this usage? It shows the normal 1% I usually am at when idling.
What kind of black magic is at work here?

Itunes is currently downloading/uploading 3.5mb; however, I don't see what it is downloading/uploading! I am downloading wireshark now to see if it is infact downloading/uploading stuff.

What is powerd and why is it using so much cpu

When I check the activity monitor, it is almost pegged out. Because of this other things run slowly. So, what is "powerd" and why is it all of a sudden using so CPU?

It is something related to power management, but it shouldn't be running away like that.
Select it in Activity Monitor and then Quit it using the "X in octagon" button. You should only need Quit, but try force quit if needed.
It will restart, but hopefully it won't start running away. If it does, there is likely something else causing it to do that.

Could someone explain why mds is using so much CPU?

Could someone explain what mds is doing if my Mac has been indexed (don't see activity in Spotlight menu bar icon) & I haven't recently added a lot of files?
I noticed my Mac was slowing down for a while so I looked in Activity Monitor & it says mds is running at 60% CPU. Isn't this something to do with Spotlight indexing?

If you recently upgraded the OS or installed an application that includes a metadata parser for spotlight (such software generally comes in the form of a package instead of a single icon), it will force spotlight to reindex. Also, restoring from a backup does the same thing.
Also, if you used mdutil to disable spotlight indexing on the volume and then reenable it, it will force a reindexing.

Anyone know why CCC is using so much cpu?

this is the idle state of the new creative cloud connection desktop app for mac using quite a few cycles for an idling program anyone know how to cut this back? thanks!

As soon as you open the Creative Cloud application it will check for updates. You are correct though that 1.0.0.183 is the current version available at the moment. You can also find the current release notes available at Creative Cloud app for desktop | Release Notes - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/release-note/release-notes-1-0-183.html.

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

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.

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.

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

here's the screenshot: http://i15.tinypic.com/8fmu8nl.png
I've tried to kill it, but nothing happens...
what should I do?

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.

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.

Safari getting stuck and using too much CPU

Hi there,
Recently, my Safari has been going very slow and slowing down the rest of my applications in the process. After consulting my Activity Monitor, Safari has been using as much as 80% of the CPU usage. Then it will refuse to quit unless I force quit.
What is the problem and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks!
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hello Astro:
Although you 'threadjacked' someone else's question, I will try to answer your questions.
If you noticed my post above, I pointed to the "icon" folder. Favicon is an appelation applied to the little icons that web sites (some) provide when you access them.
Trashing a preference file is a 'standard' fix for many ills. Reentering preferences for one application is hardly an onerous task. Preference files may (rare, but it happens) become corrupted - causing a variety of problems.
Your generalization is off the mark. " Apple's going to have to recognize that there is something fundamentally wrong in the Safari code and fix this! "
If you base that conclusion on reading these forums, you would also, I suspect, decide that everyone in the world is sick after visiting a hospital. Safari is a rock solid, fast browser for most of us. I am not suggesting that people with problems are not experiencing difficulties. However, a substantial number of those problems are user caused by adding hacks, "enhancers," and so on.
If you have a problem and wish assistance, post in a new thread. As I am sure you are aware, these are user-to-user forums. I, like almost everyone else, volunteer to assist others.
If you have constructive suggestions about improving Safari (or anything else), I suggest you provide Apple input through the several paths provided.

Video using too much CPU

I am not sure at all what is causing this problem. It is possible that i don't really have a problem.. just an old computer, but it doesn't seem right so i'll ask anyway.
When i watch videos with a somewhat high resolution (not necessarily hd though..) my computer sputters around alot and uses pretty much all of my CPU. This also happens when i play games.. even simpler ones (at least to my eyes) like Super Maryo or Pingus. I am using a 256mb NVIDIA graphics card.. and i THINK that these things should work a little smoother than they are. I don't really remember it always being this slow, but its been like this for a while so i don't know if it was any certain update that caused it.
I used to play Tremulous and Nexuiz on my old installation of Arch and they ran pretty smoothly, but i haven't reinstalled them since i reinstalled arch probably 4 or 5 months ago. I haven't really searched for an answer because i don't know where to even start, so if you want to at least point me in some direction i can probably try to figure it out on my own.
I can get any extra info that you might want. and here is my xorg.conf :

(Can't Be Solved) Flash uses too much CPU

Hello all,
In the process of setting up my first Arch system, I currently experiment with OpenBox, and have tried using Flash (flashplugin) under Chromium, both latest version from the repos.
I tried watching a 720P video on youtube (Big Buck Bunny), but it was a complete failure.
After some searching, I disabled hardware decoding using
/etc/adobe/mms.cfg
Next, I completely disabled the Laptop Mode Tools daemon to make sure no powersaving was in play (and rebooted of course).
I also set the CPU governor to "performance" (though using cpupower, the CPU does scale to maximum under "ondemand").
All of the above did not help - CPU usage still reach ~80% when playing the 720P video unmaximized (and no dropped frames), and I get lots of dropped frames when going full screen.
Is it really what I can expect from flashplugin under Arch or have I missed something (hopefully)?
My CPU is Core 2 Duo P8600 which is more than capable of handling such videos (for reference only, software decoding of the same video under Windows 7 hover around 30% CPU usage (also Chromium and Flash, different Chromium version)).
Thanks, Adam.

OK, back from Ubuntu.
Did a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installation, and just installed Chromium and Flash from the software center.
Chromium version is 18.0.1025.151 (Arch has 19.0.1084.52).
Flash version is 11.2 r202 (Arch has 11.2.202.235, which I suppose is the same).
Also tried built-in Firefox and using proprietary drivers (still pure software decoding and rendering).
Under all scenarios, behavior was the same as in Arch - ridiculously high CPU usage comparing to Windows.
I guess Flash under Linux really is THAT bad, perhaps this new "chrome-only" flash will behave better (and will most definitely kept up-to-date in the AUR or so).
(I've already tried the currently available pepper flash from the AUR, with no better results).
Can't see much more that can be done in regards to direct flash rendering, really annoying.
Might try some sort of flash-video-automatic-replacement-with-vlc-or-something-like-that.
Adam.
PS.
My 20 minutes with Ubuntu were enough - Arch is definitely the way to go, even for a pretty green Linux user such as myself (have some background, though).
