Re: Kernal_task taking up 70% of CPU usage?



It is Acrobat professional -- OS X preview cannot allow for the same power (javascript in the pdf, acrobat forms, etc.) -- so it's needed, Preview is not an option as an alternative.

I will try the Acrobat uninstall, might as well upgrade the user to 7 anyhow.

This user typically is on the move between our buildings, so their networking is pure wireless, and everything looks fine and normal (all they need is internet access, no server access). I would HOPE it's not a corrupt hard disk, since it's brand new computer -- any recommended tools to verify the disk quality? I've got disk warrior, or could boot off the OS disk and disk utility.

relaunching acrobat shows similar errors, but not a large amount of CPU usage again.

Is that Acrobat reader ? Something you're just using to display existing PDFs ?
If so, there's no reason for you to use it. OS X has Preview built in which
does the same job. Similarly OS X can create PDFs without Acrobat.


Try uninstalling Acrobat and see if the problems go away.

Your other problems seem to be related to lookupd. Problems with this are
normally related to either a corrupt hard disk or networking. Have you set up
the networking properly for this computer or is it still doing 'Automatic' ?
