[QUOTE="DanCourtenay, post: 1688542, member: 365255"] Hi, Please can anyone help? I am trying to fix a problem on my MacAir which has caused it to run at a snails pace. I've identified the issue as a kernel_task running sometimes at 300% CPU usage. Im trying to solve the issue using the following directions: 1. Go to About this mac under the apple in the upper left and click on More info 2. Click on system report 3. make a note of what it says after Model Identifier 4. go to your master drive – System -Library – Extensions – IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext -Contents – Plugins – ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext – Contents – Resources – find the name from step 3 and move it to a folder that you can find again if needed. 3. Restart and you’re done I hope this helps. The problem is that when i get to theist step with is to remove the model identity from the resources folder, I simply don't find mine which is MacBookAir 6,2. Can anyone help with this please? Thanks Dan [/QUOTE]
