+1 for HandyPrint. Rarely do I have to restart it, but it works brilliantly
99.9% of the time.

I need help! My tech skill is horrible! I have a Mac desktop, a PC desktop, the new iPad and a Series II Bose speakers. I want to stream Pandora Radio through the Bose speakers and I cannot accomplish setting it up to do so. Could someone give me step-by-step instructions? I would be sooooo grateful!

I would like to replace my APS device & would appreciate any recommendations offered. Thanks!

I can't suggest a brand, except to say from personal experience, avoid APS.

even their more expensive "Pro" line very disingenuously lists AVR as
a feature, but "not for all models."
Later in that thread he suggested a CyperPower model.
You did not say why you are replacing your UPS, but most have replaceable batteries for a lot less than a whole new UPS.

Thanks for the info. I'll take a look at the CyberPower units.

Activity Monitor reports that 'Agent' is running at 100% of my CPU (although other items are also running at percentages in the range of several percent or less). The PID (I assume this means Process ID) for 'Agent' is 300.
I don't recall having anything running constantly at 100% , so I assume I have a problem here, but have no idea what it is. I have restarted and the same status returns.

I can help with *part* of this, but unfortunately not provide the answer you really want.
Activity Monitor records % usage per CPU core, and reports the total for all cores. I recently did some major batch image processing that heavily utilized both cores of my 4.5 year old Core 2 Duo, and activity monitor reported *that process* as using 175%.
Activity Monitor reports about 20 processes with "Agent" in their name, of which about 5 are active, none using more than 2%.
And none named simply "Agent", with nothing else in their name.

I can see other processes for which 'Agent' is only part of the name that pop up on the activity monitor screen. These do use very small percentages of CPU. The one using the 100% constantly, though, has a name of, simply, 'Agent.'
Wish I knew what it was.

OK, using info from Activity Monitor's 'Help' (what a novel idea!), I learned a bit about the 'Agent' process, by highlighting it in the window and clicking on 'Inspect.' There I learned that its parent process is 'launchd (181)' although I have no idea what that is or what it does. Can anyone help with that?
Thanks,

Just to close this out, here's what happened:
Using Activity Monitor I selected the process causing the issue, highlighted it and clicked on 'Inspect' (the blue button with the 'i'). That identified the parent process, which wasn't of great help to me, so I next clicked on the 'Sample Process' button. This gave a fairly long log of the process, and early in the log I noted what appeared to be a call to a preference, which had the form 'com.spectorsoft.xxx'
I recognized this as being related to the application Spector Pro, something that was migrated to my Intel Core i7 iMac from my PowerMac G5. That's something for which I no longer have use (I don't even think it was Intel-compatible). I located the folder containing it and there, along with the application, was the 'Agent' I was looking for. I trashed the folder and Activity Monitor no longer shows the 100% CPU use. I don't expect the problem to reappear.

GREAT!
This is a wonderful example of exactly how problems like this are *supposed* to get untangled and solved.
Very well done, Mike!

Ditto, what Jim said.
I believe the process numbers change each time you start up, so they are basically meaningless on another Mac.

Is there any videos on using Apple TV to help me in using it. Also can I delete the voice from the person who names the Netflix films I may be interested in?
