Activity Monitor has stopped working

Hi,
My Activity Monitor has suddenly stopped working. Everytime I click on the icon in my dock or in Utilities nothing happens (icon in the dock bounces a couple of times then does nothing).
I find this program helpful but can't use it! Do I really have to reinstall Tiger again?
Many thanks

Hi there,
Many thanks. That worked a treat! I'm back in business.
Try opening the Activity Monitor again, and then open
the Console application in the
/Applications/Utilities folder and look for lines
relating to the Activity Monitor. If you see a
message that a tool was not setuid root, use the Disk
Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to
repair your permissions. If you see another message,
post back with the text of that message.

  • HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3

    HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3.  When I purchased the monitor a few weeks ago it worked perfectly when computer was in clamshell mode or with lid open. Now external display has stopped working.  When I turn on display it scans for signal but does not find it and then immediately goes into sleep mode.  I am using a DVI connection with the adapter for the mini display plug.  REALLY FRUSTRATING. Any help would be extremely appreciated. 

    Hi lancekatigbak,
    If you're having issues with the display out on your MacBook Pro, you may want to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

  • IMac monitor has stopped working

    On boot up/bringing the system out of sleep the monitor flashes for a second, if it's coming out of sleep I can see the desktop/any windows currently open before it dies.
    Currently I'm using an external monitor which works fine however it's still annoying to have a dead monitor.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • An error occurred during activation iMessage has stopped working

    Becoming more and more irritated with this problem.  I have tried turning on and off the icon, restared my phone and it still doesn't work!
    HELP!

    Hey there ashie88,
    It sounds like you are unable to activate iMessage on your iPhone. Try signing out of your Apple ID, restart the device, then try again:
    To sign out of your Apple ID
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.

  • Satellite P300: Display Driver has stopped working using external monitor

    I have a number of these Satellite P300 PSPCCA-OC201Y and recently bought external monitors for them.
    Since then we seem to be getting "Display Driver has stopped working and has recovered" messages, then after about 5 of these, it crashes.
    Starting with one machine, I have updated display drivers, bios was current, all to no avail.
    I then did a complete system restore back to original. Has not solved the problem.
    Any ideas?

    hi Keven Dickenson,
    as you said you restored the system and still there is no way to get things work it may be a hardware issue...
    i my opinion you should consult a servicepartner to check this out...
    is there any of the machines working with the external monitor at all?
    if none of them is able to connect to ext. display maybe your installation has a problem or the monitor is faulty...
    try it with another monitor and recover one system to factory installation....

  • Active Sync for 800w has stopped working OTA

    To anyone that can assist, my Active synch connection to my exchange server has stopped working OTA. It works fine over an USB connection and Wi-Fi, but when it's relying on the cell network it just constantly tries to connect. I am with Sprint, and use Vista. The active synch on the desktop works just fine. I even went back to my Baseline backup and it doesn't work. Thanks in advance.
    Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

    Are you able to otherwise access the internet from your phone?     Also, does ActiveSync give any error messages?     And, of course, have you tried at least a soft reset if not a hard reset?

  • ATTENTION: Desktop Manager Has stopped working - SOLVED

    Hey everyone!
    I've finally, finally solved a
    problem I've been dealing with for the past month (since updating DM to the
    latest version 6.x.35)
    I have a BB Bold 9700 with OS 6.0.0.600 ( by the
    way the issue is not related to the OS as I had the error prior to getting this
    version).
    The problem is that when opening DM, everything is fine AS
    LONG as I don't connect my phone. As soon as I do, DM crashes with the dreaded
    "DM has stopped working" message. I tried literally everything... Browsed many
    forums and found onyl questions without answers... Turns out hundreds of BB
    users faced the same problem on various BB models. Out of these I can honestly
    say, only 2 managed to fix the issue they were facing.
    To start with and
    to help people identify if my issue is similar to the one they are facing, I'll
    paste the issue as shown in :

    Now my problem is
    that unlike other error logs posted by users on various forums, mine didn't show
    what the issue was... There is a gap between the 1st and 2nd lines in the log.
    In all error logs I saw, that missing line was supposed to hold details on the
    issue. In my case, the "invalid directory name".
    I tried
    reinstalling DM without success and after seeing that so many people on the web
    had given up considering RIM was not taking any action, I joined the club and
    even made the decision not to buy the 9900 once it is released.
    Finally
    today, for some reason while working on resolving an issue in an application I
    use at work, I decided to use a tool for trying to solve the DM crash... The
    tool is Process Monitor (procmon.exe) and is an AMAZING tool to see exactly what
    happens when you run any process (executable or others).
    Granted it's
    not very accessible and users who don't work in IT might not be familiar with
    many terms/features in this tool, but I honestly don't think there is any other
    way to identify the problem you're facing in DM.
    In my case I noticed in
    the captured activity of Process Monitor that there were two "path not found"
    issues just before the activity related to writing into the error log started.
    The 2 paths were :
    F:\BlackBerry\system\Media Sync\xxxxx.system
    C:\Users\Nicolas\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Media
    Sync\<mypin>.settings
    First path is on the blackberry itself
    and in my case I had a file named "media sync" but no folder. I renamed that
    file and created the folder with that name.
    For the 2nd path, which was
    very strange, I could not find a file matching my BB pin... There was another
    one matching my wife's pin. I just took a copy of it and renamed it to my pin
    number.
    After these 2 adjustments I reopened DM and I got a message
    that a new device had been detected. I did a few settings and my BB connected
    successfully... No crash... I tried syncing, backup and everything seems to be
    working fine now.
    I hope this helps others in investigating the
    issues they are facing. By the way in Process Monitor be sure to first access
    the Filter options and select process name as : "rim.destop.exe"
    This will
    monitor ONLY the activity related to DM.

    Hi Nicolas81...
    Thanks for the detail here.  just to let you know, we have logged a bug with the Desktop Manager development team to have this fixed for the next version.
    Cheers

  • Satellite A60-652: ati2dvag driver has stopped working

    Hello,
    Recently I have some problems with my graphics. My satellite freezes up, and goes to a low resolution with a few colours. A message says the ati2dvag driver has stopped working. After rebooting the satellite shows a blue screen and reboots...same thing happens. Only shutting down and retrying after a few minutes gets me back to normal Windows.
    I tried to look for some new drivers, but I can't indicate my model (SA60-652)... is this model too old for updates???
    Toshiba SA60-652
    ATI MOBILITY RADION 7000 IGP
    ati2dvag driver (6.14.10.6430)
    Windows XP (SP2)
    AVG virus scan
    Hitman Pro anti-spyware
    ATI hydravision installed but never used :-/
    Notebook recently has been rising in temperature...I will deal with this after my final thesis (8 may)
    Please can you help me?
    If you can, please be clear in instructions, 'caus I don't know a lot about computers... (PEBCAC)
    Thanks!

    Thank you for this answer,
    I found the driver myself, uninstalled the old one and installed the new one (same driver, so actually just a reinstallation).
    I use the programm Speedfan to monitor my cpu-temp, and I noticed a few months ago that temperature stayed between 60 and 70 degrees. Now my laptop is easily rising to temperatures of about 87 degrees. Think this is the answer... The notebook even completely stopped working suddenly a few weeks ago, due to high temp. I will look into it to clean the fans and stuff. Guess I'll find some more info on that on other forumthreads.
    Thank you for your help

    Same exact thing with me.  And no help from apple.  Just dropped nearly $600 and cannot get a decent working setup.

    The crash happens only on iTunes store access.

  • "remote desktop connection has stopped working" When printing from remote desktop connection

    I have been having a issue when using a windows 7 machine. I have Remote Desktop to a session on Windows2008 R2, I am using the local printer resources to redirect the printing. However everytime i try to print it crashes the remote desktop application.
    Gives me "remote desktop connection has stopped working." I have 4 other computers connected and printing with no issues what so ever. This only happens when i print. It does print by the way just the application crashes.
    -I have also updated the printer drivers to newest possible thru the manufactorer website. The printer is a Brother MFC-8890DW. Windows 2008 R2 is up to date for the RDS server. 3 other machines are able to Remote in and print. The user is able to print using
    diffrent machines just not the Windows 7 machine.

    Hi,
    Happy to hear that you resolved your issue. For another issue which you are facing here trying to provide some suggestion.
    As you have commented that you are facing issue with second screen resolution on wide screen. The setting which I am suggesting can only applies when you are using multi-monitor Remote Desktop connections.  If you are making Connections using a single
    monitor do not use this setting. 
    So for this you can try to apply “Limit maximum display resolution” setting in group policy, where you can mention the width & height for the screen to display. The setting can be applied on below mentioned
    path.
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment
    Meanwhile sharing article with you for more information.

  • ITunes 12.1.0.71 has stopped working on windows 7

    I updated my itunes with the new 12.0.1 update. When the update finished, i restart my pc and then i can't open the itunes. "iTunes has stopped working". What should i do?
    iTunes, Windows 7

    Good Afternoon aperaf,
    If iTunes for Windows won't launch after the recent update, try these troubleshooting steps:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT203206
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues 
    If iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 won't open, stops responding, or unexpectedly quits, try using the steps below. You may want to print this document before following these steps.
    Follow these steps if you're having issues installing iTunes.Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.Create a new user account
    By creating a new user account, you can determine if the issue affects a specific Windows user account or all accounts. Follow the steps below to create a new user account in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
    Choose Start > Control Panel.
    Open "Add or remove user accounts." (If you're using the Classic view in Windows Vista, open "User Accounts," and then open "Manage another account.")
    Select "Create a new account" and follow the instructions to set up the account.
    Once you create the new account, choose Start > Log Off.
    Log in to the new user account.
    Open iTunes and see if the issue you're experiencing persists in this new user account.
    If you have the same issue in the new user account, proceed to the "System-wide troubleshooting" section. If you don't experience the same issue, proceed to the "User-specific troubleshooting" section.User-specific troubleshooting
    If you experience the issue in one particular user account, the suggestions below may resolve the issue. Before proceeding, you'll need to make hidden files and folder visible in Windows using steps 1-5.
    Remove iTunes Preference files. Some of the files that iTunes stores settings and preferences in may be unusable. iTunes saves its preferences in two folders. Move one of them to the desktop and test to see if the issue persists. If it does, move it back and remove the second folder. The locations for the preference folders are:
    c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Create a new iTunes Library.
    Hold the Shift key while opening iTunes. You'll be asked to choose an iTunes library.
    Choose Create Library.
    In the following window, select a location to save the new iTunes Library.
    Click Save. iTunes will open the new library. After you close iTunes, you can always select the original library by holding the Shift key while opening iTunes.
    Recreate your iTunes Library. If your iTunes library has become unusable, rebuilding it may resolve the issue.
    Check for issues with content files. Sometimes an audio file can cause iTunes to quit unexpectedly or stop responding when it's analyzing gapless playback information. To determine which file may be causing the issue, follow the steps below:
    Quit iTunes.
    Navigate to the iTunes folder:
    Windows 7 and Windows 8:c:\users\username\My Music\iTunes
    Move the iTunes Library.itl file to your desktop.
    Open iTunes. You shouldn't see any content in iTunes.
    Choose File > Add Folder to Library.
    Navigate to the folder where your music is located:
    Windows 7 and Windows 8:c:\users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
    Choose an artist, album, or song to add to the library.
    Wait for iTunes to successfully add the item to your library and perform the gapless playback scan.
    If successful, continue adding songs to your library.
    If there is an issue with one of your files, you'll notice your issue reappear after you add it to the library. You should repeat these steps, being careful not to add the files that caused the issue.
    System-wide troubleshooting
    When troubleshooting system-wide issues with iTunes, try these steps:
    Check for viruses. Windows viruses can interfere with a variety of computer functions, including iTunes.
    Make sure that you have current anti-virus software installed with up-to-date virus definitions.
    Scan your system.
    Check for anti-virus and Internet security software. Internet security software may cause iTunes to quit unexpectedly. Try disabling the Internet security software temporarily or exempting iTunes from any active scanning done by the software. If this resolves the issue, check with the maker of the software for an update to the software or its virus definitions. Learn more about fixing security software issues.
    Check for conflicting processes. Sometimes other programs and startup items can conflict with iTunes. Learn how to troubleshoot conflicts using Msconfig in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
    Remove iTunes configuration files. Removing unusable configuration files from iTunes can resolve launch issues.
    Check the iTunes installations. An improper installation of iTunes can contribute to a variety of issues. Follow these steps to completely reinstall iTunes.
    Update the drivers on your PC. Outdated drivers on your computer can cause strange behavior with iTunes, iPod devices, and other apps. Learn how to update the drivers on your computer.

  • Thunderbird has stopped working

    Hello,
    Starting on 04/08/2014 the Thunderbird has stopped working in any way in my PC. I am running Windows 8.1 Pro x64. Before that day everything was ok and Thunderbird was working. I asked some friends using Windows 8 and they have the same problem. Thunderbird won't load the email accounts and won't send and receive any email. It won't even let us add a new email account. The message received when trying to add a new account is the following "Sorry - we're unable to communicate with our sign-up server. Please check your connection.". Also if we will try to move forward and add a new email account anyway the answer will be that Thunderbird can't connect to any server. We have uninstalled Thunderbird and install it again several times in the past days with no success. I was looking t delete the Thunderbird folder in Program files but I can't find it. The uninstall and install again procedure including deleting folder was a solution few years ago but it seams that now is not working anymore.
    In the past 2 weeks Thunderbird started working only for few hours and we have the same problem again. I was asking around 10 people working with Thunderbird and they have the same problem at the moment and they had the same problem in the past month.
    Of course I turned off windows firewall and test if Thunderbird will work but it was not a solution. I am running windows 8.1 Pro x64. Thunderbird is not on the list of the allowed or not allowed software through firewall and I can't find any option to add the Thunderbird to the list in order to try to solve the problem.
    I am running BitDefender antivirus and I turned off the BitDefender firewall and the same thing happens. I also turned off the whole antivirus functions after and the same thing. I turned of bot windows firewall and BitDefender firewall or turned off the whole BitDefender and the same thing happens. I checked the BitDefender firewall and the Thunderbird has full access.
    Also I have checked the Windows updates. I usually not allow updates in my PC. I remember that I choose not to install Microsoft updates ever. I checked the status and it is set up not to install Microsoft updates. I also checked the "update history" and is empty an the status is "you have not tried to install any updates on your computer".
    I started windows 8.1 Pro x64 in Safe mode with networking and started Thunderbird while windows was in safe mode and it has the same problem.
    I am trying to add Gmail and AOL accounts in Thunderbird. The emails are all set correctly and working well in browser or other email client.
    Today (04/21/2014) Thunderbird has the same problem.
    Any help will be much appreciated.

  • My iPhone has stopped working. I have insurance but Verizon isn't willing to send a replacement. Please help!

    I have insurance on my iPhone 4 with the extended warranty. For the last few days, I've been having non-stop problems with the phone. Freezing, closing apps when it wants to, restarting itself. I called Verizon customer support and explained the problem. She tried to do basic troubleshooting on my phone but I had to stop the process because I wasn't near a Wi-Fi to do a hard reset after the basic troubleshooting. Which wasn't a problem.
    So today my home button stopped working completely. I had to turn off the phone and turn it back on after opening an application because I couldn't do anything with it. So I called Verizon to see about more troubleshooting and the girl (who was very nice btw) helped me do a hard reset. The home button started working, but now has stopped working again.
    The thing with the warranty on the phone.. when I bought the phone from someone, I was asked if I wanted insurance on the phone when I activated it. I said yes. So the insurance was added. Now that something is wrong with my phone, I am being told that the warranty should have never been added because I didn't get the phone actually from Verizon. I have been paying for insurance each month as long as I have had the phone. If not almost a year, maybe a little over a year? I'm not sure how long I have had the phone. So I have insurance on the phone right now.. and I cannot get my phone replaced. I do not work for Verizon, so if I am asked if I want insurance and I say yes, I expect and assume it's covered incase something goes wrong. Which is the point of having insurance. Now, it's a different story? I am confused and a little upset with the whole situation. The only thing the Verizon rep today told me was that she could refund me three months of charges on the insurance and get it removed for me. I did not agree to that and I didn't want the insurance removed as of right now until I get this fixed. I told her that it wasn't about the money for the insurance.
    I am hoping someone with Verizon on here can help me with my phone situation because apparently it's something with software. Please help!

    I would think that at the very LEAST you would be eligible for a COMPLETE refund of ALL charges for insurance paid thru Verizon!  They were charging you for something you were ineligible for!  Verizon has a record of whether or not you purchased the phone from them - otherwise how could they deny the claim!
    It very sad to see how customer service and customer satisfaction has been lost here ... !
