If this Mac is an iMac make sure that if you're going to use an ethernet cable, that Wi-Fi is turned off.Įthernet does take precedence when both Wi-Fi and Ethernet are on, but weird things happen (especially if you have a backup taking place) so make sure that if you're using one, the other is off. That said if the Mac is aging you can max out the RAM, change out the HDD for an SSD, and if possible make sure the Mac is hooked up via an ethernet cable before Carbonite performs its backup (ethernet is faster and more stable than Wi-Fi). Lastly, this is very normal if things start to stall out on the Mac (Internet connection, other apps competing for CPU resources, antivirus is running an auto-scan at the same time Carbonite is backing up, etc.) so don't worry too much about the Mac itself. After everthing returns to normal, please power your Mac down and give it a much needed nap. Most likely Carbonite (the CPU hog & culprit) will have stopped after a minute or two, and you'll notice that your Mac fans are slowing down and you're able to open things at an average speed again. Or, Look at a service like or any of the other backup services for doing this if you are on a pc. Hit "Return," and after a few seconds, you should see the process drop from the list. If you have a mac, set up timemachine now. The best way to address the issue of overheating and rebooting (which is due to the overheating) is to open Terminal & Activity monitor.ġ) Once you have both of these apps open you want to look at Activity Monitor and peruse the list of the processes that are being CPU hogs.Ģ) Click on the first culprit (to not lose the bugger during the interchanging of processes), then look to the right and remember the "PID."ģ) Now type "kill 12345" Substituting 12345 for the process's PID and without the quotations.
