Activity Monitor not showing all RAM

I just upgraded to 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8 on my Mac Mini. With 10.6.3 Activity Monitor started showing total of 3 GB of RAM instead of 4 GB as System Profile does show. I ran Rember and all tests passed. It showed 4 GB total memory and 1690 MB available memory which seems consistent with AM's Free memory.
Any ideas why the system seems to "see" (System Profiler) all the memory but not be using it (AM)?

I have a related question about the pie chart.
I have 12GB installed. Free at 9.72 + Used at 2.28 adds up to 12GB.
But adding up Wired at 957.4MB, Active at 754.1MB, and Inactive at 632.4MB comes to 2.3GB (rounded). Adding that to the pie chart figure of 11.75 gives a total of 14.05GB, which isn't possible. What does the pie chart figure at 11.75GB represent? It can't be the 12GB minus the Wired, Active and Inactive either, since that would be much less than 11.75. And if it's supposed to be the total of installed Memory, why the missing .25GB?
Wired+Active+Inactive = Used. Thus, 9.72+2.28 ≃ 9.7.2+2.3 ≃ 12. The 11.75 is a mucked up AM reading. Check the memory via About this Mac->More info. Mine shows exactly 12 GB.

Activity monitor not showing all memory

I just upgraded to 10.7.4 on my Mac Mini from a fresh install of 10.6.3. Activity Monitor shows 3 GB available, while System Profiler shows 4GB:
But when I boot back into 10.5.8, all 4GB are there usable in AM.
When I upgraded from 10.5.8, with 10.6.3 Activity Monitor started showing total of 3 GB of RAM instead of 4 GB as System Profile does show. I ran Rember and all tests passed. It showed 4 GB total memory and 1690 MB available memory which seems about consistent with AM's Free memory.
I use Virtual PC and it has a slider bar to set the RAM for the PC. It shows a little more than 3.5 GB available though above 3 GB it is highlighted in yellow, as if caution about trying to use it. So I set it to a little more than 3GB, started V PC and watched its usage climb in Activity Monitor. When it reached about 3GB the whole Mac OSX locked.
So, then I tried a fresh install of 10.6.3 and it has the same behavior and upgrade to 10.7.4 still the same.

Here is a related issue and the poster's solution was to switch the riser cards around:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11022205?tstart=0#11022205
Maybe I need to swap my memory cards around.

Well, I finally decided to go on and search for the specs on my Mini, even though all 4 GB work under 10.5.8. Here it is:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP7
"1GB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300) on two SO-DIMMs; supports up to 2GB"
I bought it in 10/2007. Even for that long ago, it seems like 2GB would have been quite limiting. I upgraded to 4GB soon after I got it. So, I suppose that I get anything above 2GB is a bonus.
Seems strange and sad to me but I suppose it is true.
Still will try swapping the cards around... maybe I can still get the newer OS and all 4GB back by some quirk as before.

Activity monitor not showing activity

recently upgraded to 10.4.9, tho not sure that is the issue. When I open Activity Monitor there are no processes listed regardless of what I ask it to list (my processes, admin proc., etc.) I trashed the plist and repaired permissions without effect. AM will still show me CPU usage and disk activity in the lower 1/2 of its window, but nothing about memory and nothing at all in the upper 1/2 of the window. Any ideas?
thanks

Core 2 Duo iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks, Baltwo and Ferd II. I just restarted from a clone backup I did prior to updating to 10.4.9. It was 10.4.8 and the same problem was there with AM. (I don't use AM that often so it could have been there even longer.) Also, the v. of AM was the same as on the drive with 10.4.9— 1.0(19). So, I don't know that reinstalling the combo will install a new AM. (And, since things are otherwise working great, I'd rather not mess with the system.)
Is there a way of downloading a new AM from somewhere. Couldn't find it on the Apple downloads. Or can it be individually restored from my original disks? (Knock on wood, I've never had to restore in all the years I've had macs.)
BTW, Baltwo, this v. of AM's menu bar reads: AM, File, Edit, Monitor, Process, Window, Help. A difference with Intel app vs. your G4, Baltwo?
thanks

Activity Monitor not showing any processes

See picture: http://bostonwebstudio.com/picture1.png
Hello all, my activity monitor opens as it should, the bottom section works as it should, but the Processes list fails to appear, not matter which list I choose to show (My Processes, All Processes, etc.)
Here's what I've done:
- Booted from install disk and completed a permissions repair.
- Booted from install disk and completed a disk repair.
- Restarted the computer.
- Slept on it.
Nothing has worked; any ideas?

Hi, Marc.
Delete the word "Local" from the search field in Activity Monitor's tool bar: click the (X) next to "Local" in the search field and all should be well. There are no processes matching that search term, hence none are shown!
Good luck!

Idling at 75% cpu, Activity Monitor not showing cause

When idling with all applications closed and most excess background tasks closed my computer is showing a CPU usage of about 75% with 300 threads and about 65 processes. In Activity Monitor, however, no tasks are shown to be using a significant amount of the CPU at all. The % CPU column adds up to about five percent and the Threads column adds up to less than 65. OS tasks don't appear responsible either as they're only accounting for 3.5% of the CPU usage. Activity Monitor isn't misreporting the data, though - the computer is fairly hot and the fans are constantly running.
What could be causing the problem with my computer?

I feel a bit ridiclous, I hadn't even bothered to reselect it.
It turns out that my Folding @ Home installation was running constantly and dominating the CPU, rather than running when the computer was idle. I've uninstalled it for now, freeing the CPU again.
Thanks for the help.

Safari activity window not showing all items?

Hi
I have been using safari's activity window for downloading all sorts of media by using the activity window. However, the items in the activity window no longer show up. On youtube for example, the mb file is no longer showing up in the windows activity like it use to. In the past, when this problem occurred, refreshing the page would fix this problem but this method is no longer working. I have noticed that this problem is only happening to youtube. When i went to vimeo, the video file could still be viewed in the activity window whilst it was loading, e.g. 1.3 mb of 30mb. I am using a macbook pro running on mac os x with safari version 5.0.3.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the reply B Noir, but the issue seems to have resolved itself today Thanks for your advice though

Service monitoring is not showing all the services when i create a service monitor under Management pack templates.

Hi All,
I am using SCOM 2007 R2 CU4 in my environment. I want to do a service monitoring on specific agents. When i try creating this service monitor which comes under the Management pack template when i select the service which i want to monitor it does not
show all the services in the drop down.
For example - I have Windows audio service which is present on the machine, But it is not showing in the service list.
So from the services stating from "W" i see only 5 in SCOM and in services.msc in the Agent i see more than 5.
Below is the screen shot.
Can any one please help.
Gautam.75801

Hi Yan Li,
So based on your above suggestion, If the services are already managed / monitored by a specific
management pack those services will not appear here in the Wizard while creating this type of a Management pack object alert right ?
If that is the case why does not the same reflect here in the operations console in the Services monitor
TAB ?

Activity Monitor not working at all

My activity monitor never shows any processes, even though I have Safari open right now.

Oh.
Have to say I have not heard of this this happening before. It is most unusual.
In Activity Monitor's menu, under View, Columns, are any selections made. Does selecting and deselecting any make any difference?
Does Activity Monitor operate normally in another account?
If not you may have to reinstall it from the DVD using Pacifist
And to avoid any problems in using it, read the documentation here:

Filter Panel in Bridge not showing all the categories

I am using Bridge CS5 and I download my photos to my laptop using Canon's EOS Utility program. In the Filter Panel on the left I get only a few catogories for some folders where for other folders I get the total of the categories. When I do click on a folder, then while it is collecting all the photos you can see all the categories for a few seconds but then it ends with sometimes just 3 categories. I am using Windows 7 on a 64bit laptop. All the categories in the dropdown box are also marked but still they do not show all in the panel.
What I now saw was if I go to the thumbnails in the Content Panel and I just click on a thumbnail and move it around and back again then a small 600byte ".bridgesort" icon appears and then all the categories show in the Filter Panel for that folder. Anybody knows what is going on? Thanx

In the Filter Panel on the left I get only a few catogories for some folders where for other folders I get the total of the categories.
The filter panel reflects the data of the content panel and while it seems this panel has a mind of its own it only shows categories if there is a choice in a category to filter. For instance having landscape and portrait files in the folder orientation shows landscape and portrait, if you want only landscape this is an option to use this filter for showing only landscape in the content panel. When you have only landscape in the folder there is nothing you can filter because everything is the same and therefor it shows no option for it.
What I now saw was if I go to the thumbnails in the Content Panel and I just click on a thumbnail and move it around and back again then a small 600byte ".bridgesort" icon appears and then all the categories show in the Filter Panel for that folder. Anybody knows what is going on?
You obviously have used the menu View / show hidden files activated. What you see is a small file that contains data for the sort order you have used. The moment you move one file to a new position the sort order changes to manual.
If you deselect the option to show hidden files you won't see this file also.

EMC Does Not Show All Databases Copies Information on DAG - Exchange 2010 SP2

Hi guys,
Really need your help here, suddenly my customer complain that they cant see any information on database copies on their Active Copy DAG Exchange server, for another DAG members, the database copies information is visible. After do some readings, I found
this related to Exchange 2010 SP1 known issue.
http://workinghardinit.wordpress.com/2010/09/13/emc-does-not-show-all-database-copies-after-upgrade-to-exchange-2010-sp1-still-investigating/
But, for my environment, there is Exchange 2010 SP2. I have no idea on this issue since there is no error log thrown out from the event viewer. I already try to restart the server itself and the Microsoft Information services but no luck.

Hi,
Based on the description, your customers could see passive database copy information, but they couldn’t view the detail information such as state: Healthy in EMC.
When did this issue begin?
Please restart the AD topology service to check result.
Since we have the information correctly on Exchange shell, please try to clear EMC cache and then open console to check if you can see database copy in EMC.
Best regards,

Cache does not show all config items

SXI_CACHE is not showing all my config items.
When looking at SXI_CACHE, I noticed that only the config items pertaining to actual SAP services (Business Systems) seem to show up?? Is this normal? I've refreshed the cache (both delta, and full).
Also, when I double-click on Services, all the services show up, but the ones that are not actual SAP systems have an 'X' in the 'Flag' column ("Event has occurred") What does that mean?
Background:
We are in the prototype stage; I am the only one in the box. I created a simple File-BAPI scenario just to demonstrate that things worked. For the last couple months, the comm channel was set to Inactive. Attempted to reActivate the comm channel to get back in to it, and it's not working. I've double-checked everything I can think of, from the obvious (is there a file to be pulled), to the not-so-obvious (was the scenario changed by someone else in my absence).
Also, there are not sender agreements listed in SXI_CACHE?
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Actually, I wasn't using Business Service, I was using Business Systems from the SLD as Services without Party.
However, I just created a Business Service, filled in the Inbound and Outbound Interfaces, created Comm Channels, RD, ID, SA, RA, and activated all - still no luck. This time, some of the pieces DO show up in the cache. The ID, RA, and the Receiver CC show up in the cache, the RD, SA, and the Sender CC do not.
This has got to be a cache problem. We are using a VERY old and slow machine to run XI on. Each time I activate something in the DR or CD, I have to go to SXI_CACHE and Start Delta Refresh. I'm thinking there may be a timeout setting or something. What's frustrating is that it used to work just fine.
Any other cache related ideas?
***EDIT - just rechecked - getting messages from newly created Business Service, but they are failing in mapping....I guess I need to delete and recreate everything and try again. Maybe that will clear up the cache issue....

Apple mail not showing all the messages?

In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

Solved!
This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
I found a solution thanks to this topic:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
Does work brilliantly though!

Text Entry Box not showing all text

I am creating a simple exercise where I would like the user to copy text from the course, paste it into word, and report back what the word count is. I thought perhaps the Text Entry Box would be the best way to go, since if you click on the existing (default) text, you can copy it. However after I place the paragraph of text in the box, and resize in the editor so that all the text shows, it does not show all the text when playing back, either previewd or published. It only shows the last few words of the last line at the top of the box.
Is there something I am missing? Or, is there an easier/better way to do what I need?
Thanks

Hi all
If this is Captivate 4, there may not be any need for a widget to do this. I'm guessing you haven't tried enabling the Scroll Bar for the Text Entry Box (TEB)?
When I just plop a TEB on a slide, I get this in edit view:
During playback it looks like this:
But if I edit the TEB properties and enable the Show Scrollbar option:
I get this in the output:

SelectOneChoice not showing all values from database

Hi!
I have to put a list of values in my select one choice. When I do the query in database, all the values are selected. But, with the same query on JPQL, the select on choice do not show all values in database. Anyone can help me, please?
P.S.: I am using SelectOneChoice with SelectItems, in JDeveloper 11g
Code:
<af:selectOneChoice id="selAction" value="#{row.idCmd}"
unselectedLabel="<Selecione>">
<af:forEach var="alertTypeNode"
items="#{bindings.actionFindAll.iteratorBinding.allRowsInRange}">
<af:selectItem value="#{alertTypeNode.dataProvider.idCmd}"
label="#{alertTypeNode.dataProvider.nmCmd}"
id="si1"/>
</af:forEach>
</af:selectOneChoice>

In your page binding check the rangesize setting for the executable you use - set it to -1.
