It is normal to have the 6-10 mdworker process running all the time?
Is this normal? I was not able to know how much Supply mdworker is average? I see anywhere from 6 to 13 at one point. This number even when the computer is sitting idle, nothing to do. Is Spotlight plugins in the folder Extensions cause? It's as if they're all waiting for something to index rather than wait until there is something running.
See on Mac Pro, Macbook Pro and Mac mini on 10.11.3. Anyway, just curious.
Spotlight re-indexing of the process are scheduled to kick off when you first turn on your machine (s) for the day, but will shoot upward if you attach nonindexed storage.
It is customary for a swarm of mdworker process that will be launched. These processes will vary depending on the available CPU threads, memory and internal/external storage devices that require indexing. If you have a multi-terabytes, Bay external storage Thunderbolt or drive Time Machine, Spotlight is perfectly willing to chew away at home and depending on the content, maybe for hours. Spotlight system preferences panel has a Privacy tab to exclude indexing of selected storage.
This morning, for about 45 minutes after turning on my Mac with 10.11.3, Spotlight mdworker process numbered 14 and after 45 minutes, were dropped to only 5. This seems to be the minimum of mdworker that these hang autour in a sleep state, apparently to the call for additional indexing if necessary.

I have a connection in New York for seven hours, does anyone know if I have the time to go to an apple store (90-15 Queens Blvd Queens, NY 11373, USA) and update my iphone?
You are a resident of the United States? If not, buy a phone in the United States is a bad idea because the warranty will be valid everywhere where it is you live.
If you try to buy an iPhone, it is unlikely that you can do the upgrade because most stores are out of stock.

Hello
What seems to be the issue. His are more in there or something like that? If so, check the icon on top of the cartridge, it should be a Hexagon, if you want to mount a "bow tie" it does not, since it is a photocartridge that is not supported by your printer.

Hi Aowlad,
If your copy of Vista came pre-installed with your PC, you should contact the manufacturer of your PC for replacement disks. You will find no doubt that they will charge you for the replacement and they won't be cheap.
If you purchased your copy of Vista in a store you will be normal should have the purchase receipt or proof of purchase (I guess a credit card statement would be sufficient, but I'm not sure). Take a look at this link for more details:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;326246

I'm going to buy a new computer this week and I want to install the suite adobe on my new computer, but I can't uninstall it from my old computer because ti of work is more.
Your license allows you to have two facilities activated while there should be nothing preventing you to install and activate on the new computer. Before do you however, since you have the time before the arrival of the new machine you must contact Adobe Support by chat and ask them to reset your activations. Who will free the inaccessible installation from your old computer and leave you always with an activation to use if/when you need.

I got Lightroom successfully to open, it does not show my SD reader. I added the reader SD (folder) and it opened some pictures, but then opened an old catalog. I tried again and got grey thumbnails with correct Canon file numbers but not images. When I chose import, he opened an old catalog and began to convert it. I recently had the creative cloud subscription and I can open these photos here after pinning. The problem is, I don't have the time to understand Photoshop until I need these photos.
What do you mean that you can open photos "after pinning? Could you please try to specify your problem a bit more? One thing I can tell you, is that you can not activate creative Lightroom of the Cloud with a serial number. There is no serial number for the creative cloud version. It must be installed from the application cloud Creative Manager. You will need to uninstall Lightroom and then reinstall it from the application manager. Other than that, please explain in detail and more clearly what your problem is.

Hello
I realized a VI in order to save the data of a balance over time. I get a text file with in the first column the time and in the second the recorded mass value.
I would like to add in this file (or in the title or directly at the 1st line of the file) the hour at which it launched the experience.
I used "chain in time" in order to have the time but I do not comment Sai save it the of in file...
How to do this?
Thanks in advance
The simplest solution is to write the time in a text file, and then pass the path even write on the file of spreadsheet with the "add to the file?" entry set to true.
A better solution would be to make a copy of scripture to VI spreadsheet file and add code to write a line of text before the data. It's easy - you just need to add a new chain control and he concatenate with the release of the table to a spreadsheet string before writing it to the file.

Change the time property Balance on account Sun
Currently, I have a few 100 accounts with balance of incorrect time property. Accordingly, I need to change to 'NONE' for the 'LAST '. I could update manually one at a time by the contour editor but I don't have the time or patience to do it. Therefore, I want to create a rule to charge to do a massive update. I have most of it figured out, with the exception of the definition of the field that contains the property balance of time. If anyone can point me in the right direction on how to achieve this, it would be much appreciated.
My data fields are:
Area 1 - Parent0, accounts
Area 2 - Child0, accounts
3 - Alias0, accounts of field
4 - on the ground do not know how to set this field. The values are "LAST" for the property balance of time I want to assign.
