  What do you see in the activity monitor to suggest that the RAM is fine?

  The EtreCheck report shows that you have only 33MB of free RAM in time, which can only cause slowdowns. Google Chrome only takes 1.3 GB of it. Chrome is a Devourer of enormous resources, so if possible, try to quit smoking by using another browser.

• I have a strange problem with my RAM supported by installers. When I check the activity monitor, 3 installers are open and they start around 80 MB memory RAM used for about 7 or 10:08 minutes or so.

  I have a strange problem with my RAM supported by installers. When I check the activity monitor, 3 installers are open and they start around 80 MB memory RAM used for about 7 or 8 concerts after 10 minutes. I have to force them to quit, but I don't know what I am closing or why they open in the first place. Applications downloaded on iTunes?

  

  In addition, the Console has opened with the same message several times, but I don't know what that means.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  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.

  You have not said why or what you're trying to install so I can't help with that.

  You can use the activity monitor to leave their.

  After you select an item, use the X in a type of stop sign icon and confirm force quit.

• 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.

• This Esinter 90% and more NECK usage in activity monitor

  Check with Etrecheck, I see a flag for 98% of CPU usage in the list of best processes for "esinter."

  This is confirmed by Application Monitor (it the percentage varies, of course, but is constantly around 90% and more mark).

• Powerd in Activity Monitor uses 100% of CPU, MacBook sounds like a jet taking

  Since I upgraded from Cougar to El Capitan on my MacBook in Late 2009, powerd in Activity Monitor often using 100% of CPU for more than 5 minutes.

  Activity Monitor to stop smoking allows, until I opened AM again, I opened all the time. Allows you to restart, but it happens again and again, especially running iTunes.

  I recently installed a 1 TB OWC SSD and installed clean El Capitan with the Migration Wizard. I've never used my own Mac App. I read something about Nap App causes this problem.

  Any thoughts anyone?

  Turn off the NAP. Most likely you don't need it.

  Try each of them in order. A test to see if the computer works properly:

  1. Reset the PRAM
  2. Reset the controller (SMC) system management
  3. Start the computer in Safe Mode, and then restart normally. It's slower than a standard home.
  4. Repair the disk by booting to the HD recovery immediately after that the chime press the command and R keys until the Utility Menu appears. Choose disk utility and click on the continue button. Select the withdrawal (usually Macintosh HD) volume entry of the list to one side.  Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait the fact button appear. Disk utility and return in the Utility Menu. Restart the computer from the Apple Menu.
  5. Reinstall OS X by booting from the Recovery HD using the command and R keys. When the Utility Menu appears, select reinstall OS X and then click on the continue button.
  6. Download and install the update of OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 Combo.

• 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.

• What is "RCP" in activity monitor?

  I asked this question in a previous post, but it was not resolved, but it was marked resolved.  The "RCP" process, a large part of the time is at the top of the list on the activity monitor.  When I am using Safari if it is to type an e-mail or fill out a form or something search, page crashes or I received the rotation beach ball.  I look at the activity monitor and 'RCP' is generally superior to 100% CPU use almost every time.

  I trashed all except an extension and the applications that go with them, but it does not solve it.  I disabled the extension I keep and I still have the problem.  The extension is RoboForm, and I've used it since 2011 without problem. Last week, I installed the latest version of RoboForm, but I still have the problem, so I can exclude RoboForm and its extension.

  Given that I had this problem of process 'RCP'... after closing the lid of my MacBook Pro and put it to sleep at night, in the morning and by opening the cover, I get a white screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar under and it loads lower at halfway. and freezes what has happened a few times.  Twice, I couldn't my MacBook Pro to start successfully.  The first time that it has happened that I called Apple support and we worked on it for over an hour and I finally had to do a clean reinstall of El Capitan.  My Mac has worked well for a week.  I still have the problem of "RCP".  When my Mac was put in mode 'sleep' for hours, when you open the lid of my Mac, I sometimes have the white screen with the Apple logo and the bar of progression which is responsible for less than 50% and freezes.  Usually, I do a SMČR or a Reset SMC, to be able to boot successfully.  last night I had this problem, but nothing worked, so I went into recovery to disk utility mode and left there while trying to contact Apple Support, but after waiting for a long time, they closed and my Mac fell asleep, and I could not wake him, so I did a force quit.  This morning I turned on my Mac and it started successfully.  I called Apple Support and I sent the log files to learn about the startup problem.  Now I'm trying to learn about the process of "RCP".

  I would appreciate help with this.

• In iMac Activity Monitor, Disk Monitor shows 26 son of Firefox, when 2 are open. Why?

  Is it normal that my iMac Activity Monitor to view 26 Firefox threads when I only have one tab open? Should I worry about this?

  Probably, you are referring to the process of Firefox.
  
  Each process can threads within a process to perform specific tasks in parallel, see multiple threads in a specific active process is quite normal.
  
  Only one thread can be active at the time and the other waiting to be taken up (allocation at the time).

• Suspicious stains in the activity monitor

  I regularly open Activity Monitor for the memory tab to see which application causes my computer to slow down. Today, I happened to look down the list and see the process name 'http://www.istudentnurse.com,...» "that made me wary because I don't currently have any what web browsers open, nor had - I never downloaded from this Web site. The more I could have done would be that I travelled once the website for academic information, but I never installed anything.

  I'm afraid that this process is a kind of malware, and I don't know what to do next.

  

  

  If anything it either causes your Mac become slow, Symantec. Get rid of it. Never install this garbage on a Mac.

  One or more of the following may apply:

  Uninstall Norton Internet Security for Mac

  Remove programs from Symantec for Macintosh using the RemoveSymantecMacFiles removal utility

  RemoveSymantecMacFiles

  To study this suspicious process, select it, then click the circle I or view > inspect the process. Click on open files and Ports. Copy and paste this information into an answer, if you wish.
