Deleting the files for installation on Mac

So for the past few weeks, my Mac suddenly began to slow down to a point where it is unusable, and I have to force quit. Then, it's all right, until it happens again.

So, I opened my activity monitor to check to see if something was using any high CPU or memory. Under both, I found 3 files named "Installer" that used 90% of my memory and CPU! They were currently only when my computer was working extremely slow, however. So, I stopped and now I left them, you can see the memory/cpu usage down almost 90% to 5% usage. Of course, I know this should not be the case, and their abandonment seems to work, temporarily... Files back about twice a day, and I have to repeat the process.

It isn't a huge deal, now that I found what is causing the spike of lag, it's just annoying to have to open the activity monitor all the time and be ready to close the installation files when the lag spike occurs. It happened to me several times as he tried to take notes in class, which can cause a lot of headaches trying to get my computer facing up and running in a short period of time.

Anyone know what this could be due to leave? Every time I close among the installation files, so I thought they would have gone, but they seem to keep coming back. It's very strange.

    Hi JRCLNSIN100,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         What is the disk you use to reinstall?

    ·         Is this a recovery or reinstalling the disc you are using?

    ·         When exactly do you get this error message?

    ·         What is the edition of Windows Vista, you try to install?

    ·         How old is the drive that you are using?

    ·         How are you starting the installation process?

    After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

    First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

    To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

    To perform a flat installation of Windows Vista, follow these steps.

    Note The hard disk must have at least 3 GB of free space on the disk for the Windows Vista installation files. The hard disk must have at least 15 GB of additional disk space to install Windows Vista. For more information about system requirements for Windows Vista, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/editions/SystemRequirements.mspx

    1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.
    2. Start Windows Explorer.
    3. In Windows Explorer, click to select the drive for the Windows Vista installation disc.
    4. On the Edit menu, click select all.
    5. On the Edit menu, click copy.
    6. Click to select the hard disk you want to contain the flat installation files.
    7. On the file menu, point to new, click the folder, type Windows Vista Setupand then press ENTER.
    8. Double-click the Windows Vista Setup program, and then click Paste on the Edit menu.
    9. Double-click Setup.exe, and then follow the instructions that appear.

    See the link below for more information on flat installation.

    This problem can also occur if the firmware of the DVD drive is defective or obsolete.

    If the step above does not resolve the question suggests that you install the latest drivers for the DVD player on the computer.

    For more information please visit the link below.

  • Add, change and delete the file "iTunes" on a NAS

    I have just said "Apple Support Community" by Apple Support.

    The title probably sums up what I'm trying to do. I'm looking for a way to add, change, and delete files on a NAS.

    Hardware: MacBook Pro 15, 1 TB of storage, 16 GB memory, OSX El Capitan.

    NAS: Qnap TS - 453 has: storage nominally 16 TB, up to about 5 TB.  4 WD 4TB disks in a RAID 5 configuration.

    a Vaio WIN10 as well as a smaller MacBook (my wife)

    The purpose of the NAS is to provide a backup system for computers and act a server "iTunes."

    I acquired the NAS after the death of my WD MyBook live in December 2015 after five years of reading backup and "iTunes" to my computer and the Sonos system.

    After two months of 'getting to know you' with the NAS, I finally managed to configure the server "iTunes" and Mirabile Indo-European it works!  I'm just doing the SIN to a back-up for computers.

    Now for the question: I am looking for an app (for lack of a better term) that will allow me to add and remove files to and from the NAS "iTunes" folder

    My search for a solution so far has indicated that:

    (1) NAS' iTunes folder is not really true Apple iTunes and

    (2) I need something that is DAAP (Digital Audio Access Protocol) friendly, that would allow me to add, change and delete the files.that would allow me to add, edit and delete files.

    I'm not looking for something that would synchronize the files iTunes NAS to one of my computers, I am all prepared to do myself if necessary.

    If I can't find an application so I use the app 'Brute Force' change my Mac iTunes required records and download again to my NAS.

    Why do you need an app to put the files in a folder on the NAS Server?  Make them just above in the Finder.  Maybe I'm missing just your problematic here.  Do you mean add your PEMA files to iTunes? I've never used this file format, but kind of, I would be very surprised if iTunes supported it.

    the NAS iTunes folder is not really true Apple iTunes

    I don't understand what you're trying to say here.  "Apple iTunes" is an application. Yes, a folder is not an application.

    Be warned, we see not few messages from people that use iTunes with a NAS. Often the problems cannot be explained. sometimes just iTunes and NAS disagree togther.

  • What happens if I delete the files in the Temp folder in Windows 7?

    What is happening in the windows--> Temp folder in windows 7, and if I delete the files there, that will be a problem?  I want to free up the disk space of 1.8 G, but can't find any info anywhere of the consequences of deleting these files, what they are for, or how they got there.  Thank you!

    In general, it is safe to delete anything in the Temp folder.  Sometimes, you can get a "Cannot be deleted because the file is in use" message, but you can just ignore these files.

    For safety, do your Temp directory deletion right after you restart the computer.  Sometimes a program installer will put something in the Temp directory it needs to complete the installation after a reboot.  If you restart and wait a bit so that they were, whatever left in the Temp folder should be OK to delete it.

    If you want to be conservative, use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool (type of cleaning disc in the search box).  If you select "Temporary files" as one of the elements to clean (deleted), by default, that Disk Cleanup removes only the files that have not changed in 7 days.
