Yosemite memory out of control?

Upgraded to Yosemite on MacBook Pro -- memory of kernel_task runs out of control (>6GB) in approx 48 hours after using -- initially did a clean install of Yosemite, and only loaded apps that are needed.
Etrecheck reports the following with many process having to be killed due to me pressure.
Any ideas what is triggering the men usage and eventual swap to death of the Retina?
kernel_task is at 6.8GB RAM although etrecheck doesn't report it, 1.1 GB of swap according to iStat in addition
Huge number of Page Outs -- faulty memory chips perhaps?

One of the above kernel extensions is running wild. All of these, when loaded are part of kernel_task.
With 16GB or RAM, your kernel_task should be hovering around 1GB (plus or minus). My 16GB Macbook Pro has a 1.25GB kernel_task.
You can experiment by booting into Safe Mode, which will not load any of the 3rd party additions, and you can see if your kernel_task remains stable

Big memory leak in Snow Leopard? Active memory out of control!

I just restarted my computer about 40 minutes ago to solve this problem once and my active memory is already out of control. Activity monitor says there's over 5.2 GB of active memory, but looking at the process list there's not nearly that much. I'll add a link to a screenshot of my activity monitor. I have run absolutely nothing that is not in the list currently. Any idea what's going on?
http://i.imgur.com/DGUcf.png

Well, thanks for your concern, but I won't miss you if you don't post another reply.
I did some watching and I have a little more info. I kept activity monitor open and kept an eye on it after another reboot. The apps I had open were: FCP, Compressor, Safari (open to gmail in the background and this thread in another tab), and iTunes. Nothing else.
At some point, without me doing anything specific to prompt it, the active memory (yellow) jumped from ~1.3GB all the way up to ~5.5 in the span of about 5 or 6 seconds. When I say I didn't do anything, I mean I happened to be doing something on my phone when I noticed it. I suspect it has something to do with Safari, but even when I shut every program down, the active memory stays at around 5-5.5 GB. The only thing I can do to get it down is to reboot.

Safari out of control in yosemite

Ever since updating imac, the Safari browser is out of control. The advertisements are overwhelming and a new tab constantly opens for mackeeper or other ads. I am also getting a series of adobe flash player errors saying to change settings to 32-bit mode. Not sure what to do.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the support article, you may also need to remove this item in the same way:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Safari Spinning Out of Control - Why Doesn't This Get Better?!!

For a very extended period, Safari has been spinnin out of control memory-wise - no other OS I use does this, not does any other browser I use on OSX. This goes on and on and on and on, with no real remidiation coming from Apple. It is maddening and ruiining the usability of using the MAC and OSX. It may be due to Flash, or Flash and Apple's refusal to properly work with Adobe - Flash is out there - it is on a huge number of websites and not just for entertainment - it cannot be avoided - also transactional sites such as StubHub use it. If I have ten or fifteen web pages open, Safari, between Safari Web Content, Safari and Flash, can take three or four gigabytes or even more, and Flash is the least of them. It does not happen with Firefox. With Safari spinning out of control, the entire device slows down. This has been going on for far far far too long. It happen on my MacBook and my iMac. When is this going to get resolved? I am starting to despise using the Mac and OSX.

IMac 20" G5 (gen1) with out of control fans

My iMac's fans are running at speeds that are driving me and my office mate completely out of our minds. Currently, terminal reports:
"location" = "System Fan" | | | | "target-value" = 1240 | | | | "location" = "CPU fan"
| | | | "target-value" = 4343
| | | "location" = "Hard Drive"
| | | "target-value" = 1800
| | | "location" = "sysclk slew"
| | | "target-value" = 1
The CPU is running at an average load of 26.1% and is at 144.3 degrees, with no out of control processes, and the hard drive is at 125.6 degrees. That's with only 5 applications running.
I'm running OS 10.4.3 and the iMac has 2 gigs of RAM. I've run the Apple Hardware Test disk, which reported no problems, and have run an overnight memory test, which also reported no problems and have reverted back to the Apple supplied memory with no positive effect.
I've also (several times):
reset the SMU (PMU for older Mac fans)
cleared the PRAM
run disk utility
repaired the permissions
done a clean software install
Nothing has worked. This is all on a computer whose firewire didn't work out of the box and which I repaired with a refurbed motherboard when it was less than a week old. Nothing like buying a new machine and getting a refurbished one to start you off on the right foot.
Now I'm trying to get this computer, which is under warranty, repaired but can't even find a number that I can call where I won't get charged! I live in Maine, so taking it to an Apple Store, or even a convenient service center is out of the question. Can someone advise?
This has been, without a doubt, my most disappointing Apple experience ever (and I owned a Mac Portable!)

Timothy,
I'm certainly open to another member's disagreement on this, but It appears to me that you have done everything necessary to disqualify software as the cause of your fan issue.
In that case, it's probably worth it to you to go ahead and give Apple your credit card to enable phone support for this issue, as it appears likely to be hardware related, which will cost you nothing (they should only charge you if it turns out to be a software issue.
Phone support will go down a list of things that you need to do to disqualify software, all of which, I believe, you've already tried. The only risk would be if phone support comes up with a software fix that no one on this board thinks to recommend to you. However, on the bright side, if no one on here can come up with another idea to try, and phone support has one that does work, it's going to be worth the cost, what is it - $75, I think?
I suppose your alternatives would be to:
1. buy some books or an AppleCare repair course and become an expert,
or
2. buy AppleCare and get free phone support back for both software and hardware for another two+ years, as well as valuable rights to in-home repairs.
If you have seen your iMac run well at times, and can see keeping it, AppleCare at $169 could be a bargain for what you might get out of it in phone support alone, not to mention another expensive part replacement a year from now. Furthermore, there are times it can be found at a lower price on eBay, usually a bit under $100 delivered. I have bought several, for this one I'm using, for a 17" that I sold, plus as a gift for a relative's iMac.
Best of luck.

Out of control highlighting

has anyone had a problem where you end up with an out of control highlighting situation where you have to force quit to make it stop?
if so...have you figured out why it might be doing that?
It's happened to me several times recently.

I'm scared when you talk about parts of my whole thing going suddenly kaput. One day they work. Next day they don't? I'm horrified. Years and years of my life...kaput...because of a font going kaput. Or a picture going kaput. Scary.
I can't believe we put our lives in the hands of machines that have parts and parts of parts that can go kaput. But we do. And I did.
I have backup. But just to be on the safe side I'm dissecting my story into 2 parts to keep things manageable. I'm where I can do that without it being an inconvenience during writing.
I know I'm getting nervous.
This Pages doc is the only thing that is crashing on my machine.
I know I need more memory. But my machine only takes 1GB and it can't be made up with a second topping off chip. I'd have to fully replace this one 768MB chip I already have installed. I don't have the money anyway. At any rate, I have a full 45GB left on my machine. I'm way still conservative. So what's up?
It's not supposed to have a problem with length but I got it up to 1400 pages and things started acting funky and it's funkied 10 or 11 times in the past week. That document is my only problem.
The font I'm using is the Courier that came with the machine. It's fully validating as being A-okay to use.
dunno I'm confused. But I keep on writing. I'm determined to finished by the end of Summer.

MacBook Air is laggy and the fan is out of control

My MacBook Air 2013 is laggy and the fan is out of control. The fan is out of control even when I start my macbook up. I don't know if it has something to do with Yosemite or something else. I have tried SMC restarting, and nothing has changed. I would really love to hear if anyone else is having this problem, and I would love to hear if any of you have any tips. Also I checked if anything is using up my CPU a bunch, and nothing is out of the ordinary.

The kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below are some possible causes for the condition.
Throttling
When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or low voltage readings from the battery of a MacBook, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to:
☞ a buildup of dust on the logic board
☞ high ambient temperature
☞ a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
☞ the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That behavior may be normal for some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
Installed software
User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
External display
Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display.

Can Logic 7 filter out select Control Change messages?

I've got a Tascam US-428 that has gone rogue and is sending out random control change messages - a huge number of them. They are all within the range of CC 64-71 and all are on channel 16. Is there some way that I can filter these out so that Logic just ignores them?
Just for fun yesterday I left a blank song up with the US-428 turned on and it ran out of memory in under thirty minutes. That's a lot of useless data that I need to live without.
Any help appreciated!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 2.5 GB RAM

Never mind. I figured it out. RTFM, although the index wasn't much help.
If anyone has a similar problem with a Tascam US-428 I'd be interested to know whether it's failing or if this is a just a 'design feature.' It seems to be sending way too many messages from the channel faders.

Service Registry causing memory out of exception in Application Server

Hi all,
I have installed basic service registry on Oracle application server 10g.However I am ocassionally running into memory out of exception on the server.
I have changed the opmn.xml with the following :-
MaxPermSize=128m -Xmx1024m
The configuration of the server machine is as follows:-
Intel Pentium(4) CPU 2.80 Ghz 2.79 Ghz
1.99 GB of RAM
It also however has the database server installed on it.
Please let me know how I can improve the performance.It's urgent.Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

- what kind of operation you are running on it? I have seen it in production env. with 1G memoy (min=max), without any issue with moderate publish and search activities.
- I would also look JVM profiling, you can do it in OC4J there is MBean conf in Admin page. If Gargage collector is not working efficiently you can look at aggresive heap option which might help a bit.
- Service registry is known to be memory hog so it is always advisable to allocate extra memory.

Out of control thermocouples

Hey, I've got a weird problem and I'm hoping someone can help. I've been using a program for about 6 months now that basically maintains a cold temperature at one side of a heat sink, and maintains a hot temperature at the other side. Then I have 25 thermocouples hooked up in between to measure temperatures so I can do analysis on the material in the middle. My problem is that all of a sudden the thermocouple readings have been out of control and unpredictable. I was adding automation to the program so it could run multiple tests at once and in the process this problem developed. The strange part is that the problem is also happening in the old version of the program now too, and that has been working perfectly for the last 6 months. I have 25 thermocouples hooked up and the temperatures will all look about right, but then 3 to 5 of them will be completely wrong randomly. What's interesting about this problem is that when I change the thermocouple that the heaters use to maintain the set point temperature, the values that were wrong become right again and some of the other thermocouples start giving invalid data. The setup uses one NI 9213 and 3 NI 9211 inputs for the thermocouples. It also uses a NI 9401 to control the heaters through a pulse width modulation electric box we have. Anyone ever experience something like this or have any ideas? Thanks for any help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello acolbourn,
Have you tried hooking the thermocouples that were giving you bad data back into another port that you were previously getting good data with. This will help you figure out if the problem is the thermocouples or the card inputs. Since you said the issues were fixed by replacing the thermocouples, that makes me think the issue is the thermocouples...but I would still trying plugging the "bad" thermocouples into another port just to see if you still get bad data.
How do you have your code setup to read the signal? Do you have multiple tasks reading from the different cards, or do you have one task with all the inputs on it? I noticed you are only reading one sample at a time, you may want to try reading multiple samples so that you have a buffer and are less likely to get that error. Also, if you were in highlight execution, then this error would have happened because of the how much highlight execution slows down the program, and not because of an issue with the code. When you debug with DAQmx, data overwrite errors are common. This is mainly because most debugging involves slowing down the execution to see what's going on, but slowing down the execution causes timed events to not function correctly, so this may be the cause of the -200279 error.
I hope this helps!

Out of control error : C7 camera self-snapping pho...

Hey there's once my C7 phone (untouched) keep on switching on the camera itself, and keep on snapping photos out of control until I have to plug out the battery and restart. what's worse is after i restart the camera error still exist, i dont know how to solve this camera self-snapping photos problem. I find it kind of scary when it suddenly snap photos itself in the middle of the night! Please help me in this.

I've sent it to nokia care.they upgraded the software for me, when i got home, initially i thought it was fine. BUT unfortunately the phone would still snap photos non stop at times. without a possible reason that i can think of. the button isn't stuck. then i sent it to nokia care AGAIN. they said they repaired and tested should be no problem.
This morning I just got my phone from nokia care. But tonight it still snaps photos itself.like continuously thousands of images captured if i did not switched it off.
now i still have this problem on my phone. it still crazily snaps! =(
please help me.

Out of control prices

I would just like to say that the plan pricing is out of control. There are a lot of services out their and you are to high. You reward new customers with new phones and trap the dedicated customers with the offer of FREE over priced phones and 2yr contracts.
I won't be getting a new phone because I can't afford to play the "free" game. I hate to say good-by, but I can no longer afford you. You may have good service but you are not the only one. My contract is up with you in Aug and I will not be staying with you. I will miss you but I'm able to move on because the felling is not mutual so I won't be felling sad about it. Hope you wake up and smell the coffee. The average American can't afford you anymore.
It's been nice,
TBELL

Pricing is pricing. If the other guy has the same product for a lesser price, there is no shame in going there. Yet these stupid contracts keep us bound like ending a bad marriage. I, for one, will not be doing a contract again, either. I even worked for these guys, and I know the ins and outs. I thought I could whittle down my account to get a good deal. I did the best I could, but it's still too expensive. It's sad to have a $150 bill for phones I can't even use in my house and their answer to that is to try to sell me something else. I know they don't guaruntee service inside the house, but still. How about in my driveway? Why do I have to sit in the rain to talk on the phone and freeze my tushy off? It shouldn't be like that. I will be going to prepaid, whoever is cheapest, because for a family shareplan, there are others out there in my area that have the same coverage or BETTER, for cheaper. I can't afford you, Verizon. That, and you need to have smaller plans that you don't keep secret from customers. Oh, and I just handed you over four hundred bucks to pay up my bill current, and you turned right around and tried to play the "we're going to shut you off" game again. I'm sorry... you guys just aren't very loyal and your pricing is through the roof and you try to extract all you can from people and trap them in predatory contracts, and I have personally participated in and witnessed how you just flat out rip off old people and disabled and people who are incapable of understanding your contract and set up your phones to incur additional charges that you are betting on that they won't catch it or are too busy to not tech savvy enough to work through your numerous automated options to contest it. Your business, as well as the other wireless carriers that carry contracts... are not only dishonest, but unethical and if I can figure out a way to not get ripped off for over 900 bucks in ETFs , will be leaving.

Out of control volume control

My HP Pavilion dv7=-3057 laptop has an out of control volume icon and control. I believe that it is possessed . It comes on all by itself. The blue line runs back and forth eventually reaching the highest volume point. It sometimes goes off by itself only to return when I am busy doing something. Sometimes it will go away when I click on the screen the way it is supposed to. Other times it will just keep coming on over and over and over and ov... , you get the point. It is very maddening. I have recently discovered that a quick and hard slam down on the desk keeps it from coming back for longer periods but it keeps coming on over and over and over and over. I spent 2 1/2 hours with HP support but to no avail. They gave it a very good attempt. Please help as it keeps coming on over and over and over and over and over and......

Out of control thread

Is there any way to close an out of control thread so that posters can respond to current and applicable problems? Perhaps tell them to post new topics instead of continuing that one?
On the Using Your MBP forum, there is a thread that is so long and so convoluted now that it is confusing brand new MBP users who are saying that they think that they now must have problems because everyone does.

Hi Rhyd!
If you want to alert the Hosts, of concerns you may have about a post or topic, you can also use the Report this post link, which appears in the bottom right corner of each post.
If reporting an individual post, or reply, in the text field, include a note explaining your reason for reporting.
If you have an issue with the entire thread, such as the one you discussed here, I suggest that you report from the first post in the Topic, and explain your concerns exactly.
The Hosts can then determine the best course of action.
