What is airportd in the activity monitor.  Is there a list defining what are these processes?

I have a 'airportd' process that appears in my monitor activity periodically and locking system. I don't know where it comes from, or find a definition of what is our why it runs.

The airportd process is the demon of the airport. This process is used to manage your wifi interface, which Apple has already called the airport. Do you use the WiFi on the Mac?

    Hello

    The last is a picture of the Terminal window.

    Just because it lists 'Console' does not mean that it has nothing to do with this application.

  • How to use the activity monitor?

    Can I use the activity monitor active processes against a list of processes that are supposed to be here vs not and if so, can someone point me in the direction where the default process for comparison?

    You have a problem or if you are curious?  I think that etrecheck would be a better choice.  You could start your mac in safe mode to see what is typical.  There is a lot of process.  I have internet google with the name of the process.  is going to be a bit tedious for all 185 or let etrecheck aside.

    You can run etrecheck, by default, it leaves aside the common process of apple.

  • Disappears from the main window of the activity monitor

    I'm under El Capitan 10.11.5, 15F34 build on an iMac (retina, 5K, 27 inch, mid-2015). If I open the activity monitor, I get the CPU usage, but the main window will briefly appear and disappear. If I minimize and restore, I also get it for a fraction of a second and then it seems to fall back on the dock. The history of CPU option (cmd 3) is grayed out, although I can get it as the icon in the dock.

    My question, then, is what caused this problem and how to restore to normal activity monitor?

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • How can I remove megabackup from the activity monitor?

    I am trying to remove the megabackup from my laptop in the activity monitor, and it won't work. Tried both quit and force them to leave.

    "MegaBackup" is an application of unworthy of trust-storage cloud or perhaps real malware. I have not tried to make this distinction. To remove it, please start back up all the data (not with the MegaBackup himself, of course). Then take the steps below.

    1 Select the elements of the connection tab in the users pane and groups of system preferences. Remove all elements with a name starting in 'MegaBackup '.

    2 log off or restart the computer.

    3. slide the MegaBackup application in the Applications to the trash and empty folder.

    Note that you cannot delete any application trying to drag its icon from the LaunchPad or the Dock. You must open the Applications folder in the Finder.

    You may have installed ad-injection with MegaBackup malware. If you don't see unaccustomed pop-up in a web browser, ask for additional instructions.

  • InDesign crashes for long periods: Activity Monitor shows CEPHtmlEngine and launchd "not responding" in these crashes

    I use a MacBook Pro, latest OSX, last InDesign CC and in the last week or so I knew some crashes that last a few seconds, some lasting a few minutes and a few I completely outside of the force. Tonight, I started to look at the activity monitor utility in these crashes and see a process called CEPHtmlEngine, which is the parent process InDesign CC. This shows that red / is no answer when InDesign does. Makes sense. It is the only process hanging in addition to InDesign.

    Anyone know what this is and if there is anything I can do to fix things? I'm placing a screengrab below InDesign and CEPHtmlEngine activity monitor window. They are not suspended for the moment, but it shows 27 recent crashes - in case it helps anyone.

    Screen Shot 2015-08-20 at 11.37.54 PM.png

    Things I've tried:

    -restart

    -rampage of indesign preferences

    Here's what happened after I did these two things:

    A blockage on the Welcome screen (beachball was there with the grey/blue square preloader, but the beachball is a like a vampire for the screenshots and does not)

    beachball-on-welcome.png

    And here's what looked like the activity monitor.

    activity-monitor.png

    And to add to the mystery, now that I keep looking at the activity monitor, launchd (1) is also a process does not not during crashes. This seems independent of the issue of CEPHtmlEngine, at least in the activity monitor shows me. And he has 71 blocks these compared to the 27 of CEPHtml or so.

    Thanks in advance for your ideas!

    Post an update in the case where this help someone else. The problem is apparently solved. Here's how:

    I ended up running Disk Warrior and got a report of pg 54 worth of irreparable errors. 50 of these pages have been because Universal Type Client of the Extensis Office so that I could access their fonts so I installed freelance. ~ 500 files had given resource that is proven to be damaged. I decided to uninstall using instructions and a Terminal here script

    http://www.Extensis.com/support/knowledge-base/uninstalling-universal-type-client-on-Mac-o s-x.

    I had to change the default security preferences to enable.

    then indesign wouldn't launch because extensis (parent utc) has a plug in called FMCore that indesign necessary at the launch - universal type of thinking was always there (indesign didn't know it was uninstalled). and by clicking on a button to ok the missing extension does not work. There was not clickable.

    Then, I uninstalled indesign and reinstalled, trashed prefs, I met the same problem of FMCore.

    It turns out that the uninstall/reinstall indesign was not necessary. I searched my computer for plugins to extensis, trashed all the (they were in my folders app pshop to indesign, illustrator). After that I've trashed those, indesign finally launched with no crashes and seems spry and nimble again.

    just to be sure that all the pain was gone, I reused diskwarrior and am coming especially clean.

    When I'm accommodating the toolbar of the new option to arrange the icons on the toolbar toolbar change several tools come with the words "wrong tool" and have no icon associated with them. What are these missing tools 'bad '?

    I see you have fixed this now, but I was about to tell you that you could have accommodated in the 'Bad' by its shortcut "I" tool.

    To save a custom toolbar, get everything the way you want and click on the button space work, click new workspace

    Type a name for the workspace, and check all three options.

    If I have to use a single screen, I use a variant of the Essentials workspace with minor panels collapsed and dock for main panels.  I call this Essentials 2

    It also seems to me that with all these options, it's stupid not to take full advantage of them, so I separate my most used instruments for their own group and double column toolbar to adjust the screen.  I tried to drop in the groups for the most used tool near the document image (right). I love it, but it take some time remembering the new positions.
