hello all

i have a black macbook 2.4 2gb ram 250 gb hardrive and i noticed my processor was running at about 80 % usage on istat pro with just ichat and itunes opened. Then in activity monitor it showed ichat using 100% cpu usage. i force quit it and the same problem happened again. The macbook is 1 week old. what does this mean?

thank you

Yeah, I've had that problem a few times already. I'm on a macbook too. What I do is go to Activity Monitor and quit the process. After ichat closes, I restart it and its back to normal. As for posting pictures, I just sign up for photobucket or embed the pictures in your post with the insert image icon. Hope that helps!
