Apple = Bloatware?

[Crossbred]

I have had trouble with my computer recently, only to find out that my (smaller) CPU was almost constantly maxed out.

There were three background processes that are Apple-generated that each mop up about 25% of my cpu.

None of them, after having closed them in TM, changed how Itunes or charging performed or ran.

From what I can see (Plus all the stuff about Quicktime) Apple is trying to make PC users suffer with bloatware and vulnerability problems.

<-For Example

(The phone wasn't my pick, don't worry.)

I will check what I can to make sure it isn't a very disguised malware, but from what I can see it's Apple software.

If anyone knows how to stop these programs from opening while Itunes is running that would be a huge help.

There is software to block a specific exe from running, or you can rename it to mobiledevicehelper.exe.bak to keep it from running. If itunes has issues, you can just remove the .bak. Also, make sure to remove itunes from startup.

P.S. easy way of getting to the service exe is right click and click open file location, in case you didn't know)

Thanks

I was wondering if it would affect how the program opens, I'll start messing around with the file.

Try finding the executable and attempt running it in compatibility mode with Windows 7.

 

And also, don't jump on the Apple-hate-bandwagon because you're having an issue with iTunes. ty.

Huh.

I guess mobiledevicehelper.exe.butts is what makes itunes open when I plug in my phone (I'm assuming because it didn't open).

I have actually been wanting to turn that feature off for a while now.

Thanks guys

 

 

MantaD67, most do not take kindly to your kin here.

I have been in and out of that bandwagon, but it doesn't take much to catch up since the Apple tesla in front of the wagon happens to move extremely slow.

The problem is that stereotype isn't even false.
