wikitect Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 MacBook Pro late 2008 I have recently noticed that that my laptop has become intermittently unresponsive. Initially I thought it was the SyncServer process but on killing this nothing improved in terms of handling. Watching the Activity monitor shows that the RetroEngine process peaks every few seconds at around 50 - 90% CPU before disappearing back to almost nothing. Hard to spot as it is very transient. Killed the process by removing the startup items and anything that might start Retrospect 8 and rebooting. Responsiveness problem solved. Not sure why this occurs but previously reboots etc haven't made any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Why not just Stop the Retrospect Engine from system preferences when you are not doing backups? That would be the easiest approach. Does the OS X console show any errors when this problem happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
