X overload my cpu
/usr/bin/X -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-3Wj8Pl 95% CPU 6.3% mem time 8h
After some hours this process overload my cpus. I can do ctrl+alt+f[1-6] but X is frozen.
Right now, I see that even previous version (Pages '09) have a problem with eating process too.
So I guess that I have too many fonts. Since I have installed a bunch of fonts.
I have removed 2 critical font problems but pages still eating process.
BUT I have validate fonts and I have about 300 fonts with minor issue.
This could be a problem with pages but not sure why other app has no problem with this at all.
So now I am renaming them to fix the issue each font then will see if problem solve.

Firefox is repeatedly overloading my CPU
My problems with high CPU usage by Firefox started a few weeks ago. Here are the fixes I've tried so far:
quitting firefox and opening new browser window: helps briefly, but screen freezes start again within a minute or two, sometimes right away
restarting computer: doesn't help any more than quitting and restarting firefox
clearing cache and history: did not help (have done this repeatedly)
disabling extensions: did not help
updating firefox again: did not help
uninstalling firefox, removing all hidden folders, clean reinstall: seemed to fix problem initially, but after a few days, I'm right back where I started
running firefox --debug with gdb installed: gdb found no debugging symbols
turning off chat in Facebook: did not help
I am currently running Firefox 10.0.2 with Linux Mint 9 (Isadora). My configuration is x86_64-linux-gnu. I generally keep browser tabs open for email, Words with Friends (my only regular use of Facebook) and Ravelry, with one or two other tabs open as needed for other tasks.
Possibly useful information from my system information summary:
Processor : 4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU, 550 @ 3.20GHz
Memory: 5922MB (1268MB used)
Since the clean re-install of Firefox, I have only added one extension (Add to Search Bar 2.0) and re-imported my bookmarks list. The other extension and add-ons (which I presume came with the install) include Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.9.3, IcedTea Web Browser NPR Plugin, iTunes application detector, and Shockwave Flash 11.1 r102. Just for grins, I tried disabling them all again, and it made no difference. All system updates are current. I've been keeping my system monitor open and each time my browser freezes, I'm seeing 100% CPU usage by Firefox (actually, as high as 120%, although I don't know how that is possible).
Any other suggestions? I'm really motivated to keep using Firefox, but I'm not sure what else to try.
Thanks.I am not sure I can help much here, but obviously the spec of your machine exceeds the requirements, and so I would not expect such high CPU use.
I realise malware is probably not a big problem in linux, but as you notice no problems on a clean re-install
clean reinstall: seemed to fix problem initially, but after a few days, I'm right back where I started
and have tried to rule out other causes maybe you should also consider a possibility of a malware problem.

CPU spikes/overload in Logic 9.1.8.
Since I've updated to 9.1.8 I'm having serious CPU problems. Even with small projects (ezdrummer, couple of ESX24, easy logic plugins, multiband, etc.) I have to freeze all of the mixed tracks to keep working my normal flow without overloading my CPU. Before the update I could go all the way with the same plugins and instruments. I still haven't found a solution for this problem, anyone? I'm running nothing else while using Logic. Digital clicks are nearby..
Thanks!

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2I had exactly the same problem on my mac book pro..Haev u checked the versions of ur installed AU's? Sometimes having an older version can be a problem even if you are not using them in your project.

I read the earlier post about CPU overload. I am not getting the overload error message, Logic just stops when the CPU bar is slammed into the red. I am not using any plug-ins or effects, I do have 48 channels of audio I am trying to mix. I have been using Logic for over a year and a half now and this is a new problem. Is there something else I can check to discover why suddenly I have this overload problem?
Different CPU Overload
this is OP question...
I try to answer directly to you:
Yes!!!
*There are different Logic overloads on different CPUs + audio device*
the overlaods message are strictly related with your CPU + Audio interface + RAM ammout and speed + Front Buss speed + Firewire, USB, PCI cards...
*also external drives spinndown can cause overloads message*
in a Pro Studio... I use workstation without external device...
all Firewire and USB device must be disconnected.. also bluetooth must be off...
(don't use bluetooth Mouse in Professional recording studio)
*Also File sharing and Wirless Airport must be turned to OFF!!!*
(OS X is a multitasking system... this is a great advantage for everyone... except for Professional Live processing power request... reduce to minimum the background running process is a must to avoid overloads and CPU spikes)
The audio cards that require CPU cycles are...
1) PCI or PCIe cards... Near to 0.1% CPU demand
2) Firewire... a little bit more (about from 3% to 8%.. depend about firewire Chip set and drivers) of CPU demand
3) USB = maximum CPU load power request... (more than 10% to 25% and more.. and this percentage rise up related with number of tracks)
(approximately percentage are stryctly related with CPU.. if G4 or G5 or Intels)
*So CPU overload are different and strictly related with your hardware!!!*

Performance issue with high CPU and IO
Hi guys,
I am encountering huge user response time on a production system and I don’t know how to solve it.
Doing some extra tests and using the instrumentation that we have in the code we concluded that the DB is the bottleneck.
We generated some AWR reports and noticed the CPU was in top wait events. Also noticed that in a random manner some simple sql take a long time to execute. We activated the sql trace on the system and noticed that for very simple SQLs (unique index access on one table) we have huge exec times. 9s
In the trace file the huge time we had it in fetch area: 9.1s cpu and elapsed 9.2.
And no or very small waits for this specific SQL.
it seems like the bottle neck is on the CPU but at that point there were very few processes running on the DB. Why can we have such a big cpu wait on a simple select? This is a machine with 128 cores. We have quicker responses on machines smaller/busier than this.
We noticed that we had a huge db_cache_size (12G) and after we scale it down we noticed some improvements but not enough. How can I prove that there is a link between high CPU and big cache_size? (there was not wait involved in SQL execution). what can we do in the case we need big DB cache size?
The second issue is that I tried to execute an sql on a big table (FTS on a big table. no join). Again on that smaller machine it runs in 30 seconds and on this machine it runs in 1038 seconds.
Also generated a trace for this SQL on the problematic machine:
call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows
Parse 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0
Execute 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0
Fetch 1 402.08 1038.31 1842916 6174343 0 1
total 3 402.08 1038.32 1842916 6174343 0 1
db file sequential read 12419 0.21 40.02
i/o slave wait 135475 0.51 613.03
db file scattered read 135475 0.52 675.15
log file switch completion 5 0.06 0.18
latch: In memory undo latch 6 0.00 0.00
latch: object queue header operation 1 0.00 0.00
********************************************************************************The high CPU is present here also but here I have huge wait on db file scattered read.
Looking at the session with the select the AWG_wait for db scattered read was 0.5. on the other machine it is like 0.07.
I though this is an IO issue. I did some IO tests at SO level and it seems like the read and writes operation are very fast…much faster than the machine that has the awg_wait smaller. Why the difference in waits?
One difference between these two DBs is that the problem one has the db block size = 16k and the other one has 8k.
I received some reports done at OS level on CPU and IO usage on the problematic machine (in normal operations). It seems like the CPU is very used and the IO stays very low.
On the other machine, the smaller and the faster one, it is other way around.
What is the problem here? How can I test further? Can I link the high CPU to low/slow IO?
we have 10G on sun os with ASM.
Thanks in advance.Yes, there are many things you can and should do to isolate this. But first check MOS Poor Performance With Oracle9i and 10g Releases When Using Dynamic Intimate Shared Memory (DISM) [ID 1018855.1] isn't messing you up to start.
Also, be sure and post exact patch levels for both Oracle and OS.
Be sure and check all your I/O settings and see what MOS has to say about those.
Are you using ASSM? See Long running update
Since it got a little better with shrinking the SGA size, that might indicate (wild speculation here, something like) one of the problems is simply too much thrashing within the SGA, as oracle decides "small" objects being full scanned in memory is faster than range scans (or whatever) from disk, overloading the cpu, not allowing the cpu to ask for other full scans from I/O. Possibly made worse by row level locking, or some other app issue that just does too much cpu.
You probably have more than one thing wrong. High fetch count might mean you need to adjust the array size on the clients.
Now that that is all out of the way, if you still haven't found the problem, go through http://oracle-randolf.blogspot.com/2009/02/basic-sql-statement-performance.html
Edit: Oh, see Solaris 10 memory management conflicts with Automatic PGA Memory Management [ID 460424.1] too.

System Overload/Core Audio Error Message when recording/playback
Well ive been experience this problem for a while now but ive read up on it and done some troubleshooting and think i may have found a solution.
Well what happens is ill be recording say one track or 2 tracks in mono or stereo or playing back about 3 or 4 tracks and logic will stop everything and give me an error message which either says system overload or core audio overload or something. Well i figured i was overloading my cpu so what i tried doing was restarting my computer and then only operating logic as the only program. this worked temporarily sometimes but not in the long run. well i did research and came to this.
apparently its too overbearing for my Powerbook processor to record in 24 bit/96 Khz which is kind of a bummer because it was one of my attractions to my i/o box that i could do that. also freezing tracks will help greatly apparently which i have yet to try but hope will work too.
also i recently deleted about half of the stuff on my internal drive and put my 42.41 GB of music onto my external HD so now i have 54.6 GB on my internal HD which holds about 93 GB total. should this help me greatly? or will it only be a minute difference?
well any more solutions/suggestions as to what i can do to better my situation? also am i correct as to why i think i get those error messages.
ps: sorry for the uncapitalization, i got a bit lazy here
thanks
-MikeMike,
Bit depth is more important for recording quality than huge sample rates. If you're going to change your settings, I'd stick with 24 bit, but reduce sample rate to 48 kHz.
When you say you've put all your music on the external drive, what exactly do you mean--your Logic files or your mp3/AAC files? Normally you would want to use an external drive to record onto from Logic. That way your internal HD can run the OS and Logic, while the external is free for all the fast recording tasks. (This assumes your external HD is pretty fast, and ideally is firewire.)
Freezing works wonders, too, if you're processing tracks.

EEM for high CPU C4510R with SUP7E
Hi all,
I have a client that experiences high CPU usage on a pair of C4510Rs at random times. The issue causes their HSRP to flap which in turn causes network outages. It only seems to occur for around 10 to 15 minutes and by the time I am called to look into the problem it has passed. I suspect it is some type of traffic that is being CPU punted and is overloading the CPU and I would like to collect some CPU stats and CPU packet captures while the problem is occuring to further troubleshoot.
I used a previous C4510R EEM script (https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2065177) as a template and created the following script:
event manager applet cpu_stats
event snmp oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.3.1 get-type exact entry-op ge entry-val "70" exit-op lt exit-val "70" poll-interval 5 maxrun 300
action 1.01 syslog msg "------HIGH CPU DETECTED----, CPU: $_snmp_oid_val %"
action 1.02 cli command "enable"
action 1.03 cli command "show clock | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.04 cli command "show proc cpu sort | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.05 cli command "show platform health | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.06 cli command "debug platform packet all count"
action 1.07 cli command "show platform cpu packet statistics | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.08 cli command "show proc cpu history | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.09 cli command "debug platform packet all receive buffer"
action 1.10 cli command "show platform cpu packet buffered | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.11 cli command "show proc cpu sort | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.12 cli command "show platform cpu packet statistics | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.13 cli command "Show proc cpu history | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.14 cli command "show platform cpu packet buffered | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.15 cli command "show log | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.16 cli command "undebug all"
end
However when looking at the CPU history after the problem occured again it appears that the SUP7E has one physical CPU that has two cores and one or two of the cores hits 100% when the issue occurs while the system CPU stays low as can be seen below:
C4510#show proc cpu hist

So I walked through the SNMP OIDs for the two cores without luck (also came across this article
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2179888 to create SNMP OIDs for the cores by parsing the output of "show proc cpu" with a cron job). An SNMP walk of the CPU MIBs comes back with the following:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.3 - cpmCPUTotal5sec.5000
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.4 - cpmCPUTotal1min.5000
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.5 - cpmCPUTotal5min.5000
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.6 - cpmCPUTotal5secRev.5000
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.7 - cpmCPUTotal1minRev.5000
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.8 - cpmCPUTotal5minRev.5000
Each of which seems to correspond with the system CPU. So in order to continue without creating an overly complex EEM scripts that parse the show proc cpu output and pass it to another EEM script that checks the value I decided to try a lower entry and exit value of 40%. The next time the problem occured the system CPU went over 40% but did not seem to trigger the script. What is important to note is the first time I did a full SNMP walk of the OID I was able to get the CPU over 50% and the script triggered.
So I moved down to 20% for the trigger value, tried with different SNMP OIDs like .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.109.1.1.1.1.6.5000 and doing an SNMP walk of the Cisco MIB without success in getting the script triggered (see attached output). Is there a problem with the script or the SNMP MIBs I am using?
Thanks in advance!
David.Hi Joseph
I have written the following set of scripts to do the job (good to just post them here if anyone else is having the same problem!), I have tested individual components and they all seem to function as expected, so just waiting now for the high cpu event to occur again:
The first script is just to set the prev_cpu_state to low so the main script can detect the first transition to high and does not spit log messages out every minute because the context variable is not initialised:
event manager applet set_cpu_state
event none
action 1.01 handle-error type ignore
action 1.02 context retrieve key CPU_STATE variable prev_cpu_state
action 1.03 handle-error type exit
action 1.04 set prev_cpu_state "low"
action 1.05 context save key CPU_STATE variable prev_cpu_state
end
The second and main script checks the CPU level of both cores over 5 seconds and takes the highest of the two, if this is over 50% and the cpu state was previously low then it will trigger the third script.
event manager applet dualcore
event timer cron cron-entry "* * * * 0-6"
action 1.00 cli command "en"
action 1.01 cli command "show process cpu | include five"
action 1.02 regexp "Core 0: CPU utilization for five seconds: ([0-9]+)%" $_cli_result result c0cpu5sec
action 1.03 if $_regexp_result eq 1
action 1.04 end
action 1.05 regexp "Core 1: CPU utilization for five seconds: ([0-9]+)%" $_cli_result result c1cpu5sec
action 1.06 if $_regexp_result eq 1
action 1.07 end
action 1.08 handle-error type ignore
action 1.09 context retrieve key CPU_STATE variable prev_cpu_state
action 1.11 handle-error type exit
action 1.12 if $c0cpu5sec ge $c1cpu5sec
action 1.13 set highest_core $c0cpu5sec
action 1.14 else
action 1.15 set highest_core $c1cpu5sec
action 1.16 end
action 1.17 if $highest_core ge 50
action 1.18 if $prev_cpu_state eq low
action 1.19 set prev_cpu_state "high"
action 1.20 syslog msg "----HIGH CPU DETECTED----, CPU: $highest_core %"
action 1.21 cli command "event manager run collect_stats"
action 1.22 end
action 1.23 else
action 1.24 if $prev_cpu_state eq high
action 1.25 set prev_cpu_state "low"
action 1.26 syslog msg "----CPU BACK TO NORMAL----, CPU: $highest_core %"
action 1.27 end
action 1.28 end
action 1.29 context save key CPU_STATE variable prev_cpu_state
The third script just runs all of the require show commands for debugging the issue and appends the output to a file called cpu_stats on the bootflash:
event manager applet collect_stats
event none
action 1.02 cli command "enable"
action 1.03 cli command "show clock | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.04 cli command "show proc cpu sort | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.05 cli command "show platform health | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.06 cli command "debug platform packet all count"
action 1.07 cli command "show platform cpu packet statistics | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.08 cli command "show proc cpu history | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.09 cli command "debug platform packet all receive buffer"
action 1.10 cli command "show platform cpu packet buffered | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.11 cli command "show proc cpu sort | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.12 cli command "show platform cpu packet statistics | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.13 cli command "Show proc cpu history | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.14 cli command "show platform cpu packet buffered | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.15 cli command "show log | append bootflash:cpu_stats"
action 1.16 cli command "undebug all"
end

Hi,
I have 2 solaris2.7(2 cpu 4GB) boxes with WLS5.1 (each box one)in a cluster with in-memory replication.
The general clustering setup is fine, and the system runs fine for stress testing..
The vmstat says lot of things are in runnable state.
There is not much of swapping or paging or out of memory problems.
Threads are at default of 15.
jvm memory is (.5GB/1.5GB)
When i try to vary jvm/thread or any parameter to improve performance it has little effect.
But we see the cpu usage at 95-98% every time from start of testing to finishing?
Is it still a good idea to put one more instance of weblogic instance or will i be overloading the CPU again?
thanks for any inputsthanks guys
will try it out...

High CPU load when opening js file
Hi, whenever I am opening a particular js file, my CPU load is rising too high and it remains high even when I close Dreamweaver (somehow the process continues to run and I have to terminate it with the task manager).
This problem only happens when I open the particular javascript file. Sometimes some lines are marked with errors when there are in fact none. This javascript file contains jquery code which mostly uses the "on" function (used approx 50 times). I am thinking the problem is either related to jquery 1.9 or maybe to the "on" function.
Update:
I found the problem. I had something like this $(this).on().on().on().on().on().on().on().on().on().on().on().on(); which was overloading my cpu. The solution is to split it.Thank you for sharing your solution with us. Much appreciated!
Thanks,

SSRS Reports taking long time to load
Hello,
Problem : SSRS Reports taking long time to load
My System environment : Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and SQL Server 2008 R2
Production Environment : Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and SQL Server 2008 R2
I have created a Parameterized report (6 parameters), it will fetch data from 1 table. table has 1 year and 6 months data, I am selecting parameters for only 1 month (about 2500 records). It is taking almost 2 minutes and 30 seconds
to load the report.
This report running efficiently in my system (report load takes only 5 to 6 seconds) but in
production it is taking 2 minutes 30 seconds.
I have checked the Execution log from production so I found the timing for
Data retrieval (approx~) Processing (approx~) Rendering (approx~)
10 second 15 sec
2 mins and 5 sec.
But Confusing point is that , if I run the same report at different time overall output time is same (approx) 2 min 30 sec but
Data retrieval (approx~) Processing (approx~) Rendering (approx~)
more than 1 min 15 sec
more than 1 min
so 1 question why timings are different ?
My doubts are
1) If query(procedure to retrieve the data) is the problem then it should take more time always,
2) If Report structure is problem then rendering will also take same time (long time)
for this (2nd point) I checked on blog that Rendering depends on environment structure e.g. Network bandwidth, RAM, CPU Usage , Number of users accessing same report at a time.
So I did testing of report when no other user working on any report But failed (same result output is 2 min 30 sec)
From network team I got the result is that there is no issue or overload in CPU usage or RAM also No issue in Network bandwidth.
Production Database Server and Report server are different (but in same network).
I checked that database server the SQL Server is using almost Full RAM (23 GB out of 24 GB)
I tried to allocate the memory to less amount up to 2GB (Trial solution I got from Blogs) but this on also failed.
one hint I got from colleague that , change the allocated memory setting from static memory to dynamic to SQL Server
(I guess above point is the same) I could not find that option Static and Dynamic memory setting.
I did below steps
Connected to SQL Server Instance
Right click on Instance go to properties, Go to Memory Tab
I found three options 1) Server Memory 2) Other memory 3) Section for "Configured values and Running values"
Then I tried to reduce Maximum Server memory up to 2 GB (As mentioned above)
All trials failed, this issue I could not find the roots for this issue.
Can anyone please help (it's bit urgent).Hi UdayKGR,
According to your description, your report takes too long to load on your production environment. Right?
In this scenario, since the report runs quickly in developing environment, we initially think it supposed to be the issue on data retrieval. However, based on the information in execution log, it takes longest time on rendering part. So we suggest you optimize
the report itself to reduce the time for rendering. Please refer to the link below:

Please, I need help getting into the itunes store. I've tried everything. Even had a computer forensics expert take a look and he could not figure out the problem.
It worked for me, for iTunes Store and Safari both!
They were overloading my CPU heavily, esp with some background services. And all the web pages stayed blank. So, I've found this solution:

Once it opens, type in the following command:
netsh winsock reset
hit enter
(then wait for some time)
You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine. -
Windows 8 freezes while I try to watch online Flash content and running Audition CS6
I recently bought a online introduction course to Auditon CS6 on Vimeo.com
While I have a setup where I put the lecture on one screen and the program on the other I like to follow tutorials and learn how to use software.
However this proves to be impossible for me in Audition, because for some reason my computer gets completely unresponsive after a little while of watching the lectures with Audition running.
It never happens when Audition hasn't been launched, and I'm kind of suspecting a driver conflict, but I don't have a fancy audio card in my computer, (just built in Realtek,) and find it a bit
odd that it wouldn't be supported as it is some of the most common audio setups around. As far as I know the system runs stable with Audition running and no Flash content started as well.
This has happened for the last couple of months and I've updated Flash and drivers as they roll out. Audition CS6 is downloaded with the Creative Cloud application Manager.
Here is some general info on my computer:
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64 bit.
Motherboard: eVGA x58 Classified (Tried with stock BIOS and also updated to new BIOS)
Audio Card: Realtek (on motherboard)
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti
The system storage device is a SSD (Firmware recently updated due to BSODs apearing, and seems to be resolved.)
I do believe that this might not be a Audition issue, but rather a issue with Flash. However Audition + Flash reproduces this problem faster than anything else I can remember this happening while
using other 3rd party software while playing Flash. (Not exactly the type of software.) I have a suspicion that it is something that occurs if Flash and other programs is paging/wiring/reading the SSD...
I can't remember this happening with Photoshop or other Adobe software, and so I'm also curious to how different Audition runs "under the hood" so to speak. What is it constantly checking
that could lead to a hardware conflict.A month ago I uninstalled AVG Internet security from my computer making it a lot less potent to BSODs in general, (can't reacall having any.) So today I thought I'd try to learn some more Audition. I could Sit with it for a good while just playing around with recordings and settings and my system didn't react weirdly at all. So the next step was of course to try and load some of the Udemy lectures I had waiting.
As the video was buffering I turned away from the computer for a while, but when I came back it had completely froze up again... I don't think I've ever had a BSOD in this context either, instead of going into BSOD the computer just stops responding completely.
(I'm using the latest version of Flash, tried with both Firefox and Chrome.)
I'm thinking this is a very niche bug and I can't seem to se that it can be anything but a conflict with Flash. Weither it's a memory leek or what ever it is.
I can use Audition fine on my computer it seems, as long as I never start a browser in risk of loading a Flash application, (which would be fine if I was avid, but I need some lectures to get started.)
Nothing really seems to be overloaded (RAM/CPU) before the freeze ocurs either.
I don't really know where or how to adress this to the Flash Player forum/community, (or if there is one.)
Thanks. -
Buying a second hand mac pro or iMac?
After a fan failure (leaving the HD the only part that hasn't been replaced), I do worry about my 2009 Macbook Pro's longeivity and if it's worth picking up another machine for audio work or not. My concern is if I end up doing something like putting an SSD in my Macbook Pro and then the logic board fails or something, it's just wasted money.
Can't really go for a new machine, as I cant afford it, still use Logic 8, still use OSX 10.6.8 and have invested in a decent Firewire interface, so I'll need an older machine and was thinking a desktop would be more beneficial and then I can just use my MBP for other things and run it into the ground.
Options are either a 2009 Mac Pro or a 2011 iMac. This will be solely for home studio purposes, where I run average sized projects (20 tracks minimum) and do some multitrack recording etc. My laptop has 8GB RAM, 2.53gHZ processor and can generally hold on OK (occasional system overloads with CPU intensive plug-ins) so I won't need once that's fully decked out but something that will hopefully keep me going for a few more years.
Obviously my main concerns when buying an older computer is how long they last, so I'd be interested to hear from people about their experience with buying second hand computers of a similar age/spec. The iMacs tend to run slightly cheaper, but are running a similar spec to my current laptop (obviously the processor in the iMacs is a quad core) but the Mac Pros allow a lot more flexibility in upgrading.
I'm definitely a 'run things into the ground' kind of guy and am still very happy using an old version of Logic etc so upgrading that kind of stuff isn't something I'm particularly interested in doing unless it's a last resort. Understandably, I don't want to shell out for a 2009 Mac Pro which could have everything fail on me a year down the line, but I don't feel the need to have the most current spec computer.2009 MacBook Pro:
putting an SSD in my Macbook Pro and then the logic board fails or something, it's just wasted money.
In the 2009 MacBook Pro model, SSD is installed as a 2.5" drive with a standard SATA interface in a little metal can. It is not a "throw away". That drive that can be adapted to a sled in a Mac Pro 42 lb silver tower, or placed in an external enclosure for use with any Mac. (Macs can boot from any specified drive, internal or external.)
SSD uses less power, and is completely silent, and fast. Did I mention that practically all of them are fast?
The Mac Pro (42 lb silver tower) can continue to be upgraded slightly and will keep working as long as you are willing to keep it in good repair. It is more compelling if you need Large memory, add-on cards, or multiple-processor speed. 2009 model Mac Pro 4,1 and later are superior. Do not pay money for a model older than the 2009 model.
In my opinion, the iMac, with its more limited upgrade possibilities has the same problem as buying an acoustic piano for your home. ¿In a few years, will I own a really awful mechanism inside a great piece of furniture [great display]? -
Bridge CS6 (64bit) - on Windows 8.1 pro Freezes and it delays showing content while opening
I have been using Bridge/Photoshop without any incident. But recently when I open Bridge it takes too long to show content and If I double click on a folder or photo It freezes showing in the bar above - not responding. After some seconds it goes back to life. I have not installed any software. I have the program installed in the C Hard Drive, the Photos and the Cache in different Hard Drives with plenty of space (WD - Black Series). I have also checked the hard drives just in case but are OK. Any guess???? Thank you

WSUS 3.0 SP2 on Server 2008 R2 not working (no console or other access)
Hi,
In a brand new network with all 2008 R2 servers I setup WSUS. Initially I could not install the role from the Roles tool in Windows and had to install it from a downloaded file from Microsoft (which I later read is due to 2008 R2).
This ran fine for about 2 weeks, I had all the clients and workstations in groups, approving updates and installing them.. all tickety boo and then one day the console wont connect and I have not been able to get back into WSUS to do anything. I tried removing
and re-installing WSUS (both keeping the local database and then deleting it the second time) but nothing helps. My event log reports the following every 6 hours:
Event ID 13042 - Self-update is not working
Event ID 12002 - The reporting web service is not working
Event ID 12012 - The API Remoting Web Service is not working
Event ID 12032 - The Server Synchronization Web Service is not working
Event ID 12022 - The Client Web Service is not working
Event ID 12042 - The SimpleAuth Web Service is not working
Event ID 12052 - The DSS Authentication Web Service is not working
Some extra points based on what I have read:
The server DOES have .net 4.0 installed
WSUS has been removed and re-installed
All servers are 2008 R2
The server also runs Remote Desktop Services.. but aside from this is just a file and print server
Because this server (and the whole network) are brand new, standard practice is to run WSUS against the Microsoft update site and install all critical and optional updates and patches and etc..
While it was working, I can't recall installing anything that may have broken it, however typically Windows patches do not cause problems on our machines, so I do not pay too close attention to what gets installed.. Perhaps one of these updates broke WSUS?
Can anyone offer some suggestions for how to troubleshoot this and try get things moving again?
Thanks!Hi,
> then one day the console wont connect and I have not been able to get back into WSUS to do anything.
Any error message when you launch WSUS console?
You mentioned you have Kaspersky Endpoint Security software installed on WSUS server, have you configured antivirus software to exclude WSUS content directory?
If you cannot access the WSUS console and a timeout error message appears, the CPU of the WSUS server may be at, or very close to, maximum utilization, which causes the database software to time out. If the database software times out, the WSUS console cannot
be displayed.
One way of inadvertently overtaxing your WSUS server is to have antivirus software monitor the WSUS content directory. During synchronization, the antivirus software can overload the CPU.
Please ignore WSUS content in your antivirus software and check the result.
For more information please refer to following MS articles:
