Activity Monitor not working correctlyResorting the %cp

Hi,
I've a new iMac, 27 inch, with Maverick installed. I'm having issues with Activity Monitor.
When I open up Activity Monitor, the process window is empty.
Resorting the %cpu tab, shows all of the processes, however it's static, ie the values don't get updated (I tried all frequency updates settings)
When going to the memory tab, all processes show up as 0 bytes
Disk tab also is empty, and stays empty even if i clickt the sort tab
Same for network tab, however after clicking sort it shows the processes, albeit with 0 bytes values and static.
Any advice to fix this would be greatly appreciated. I did already delete com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist witch didn't change things.
Cheers
Tom

I have exactly the same issue and have no idea how to fix it and what reason to appear it. In my case the issue started roughly after I've updated my MacOS up to 10.9.1

  • Activity Monitor not working correctly / not listing processes

    When I open Activity Monitor, it does not display a list of processes. The CPU usage works in the bottom of the window as does the disk usage. None of the other graphs display any graphing/data.
    I have rebooted, relaunched AM and I selected "all processes" but it still doesn't show processes.
    I used the terminal command "top" and can see processes in the terminal window.
    thanks for any assistance,

    Thanks for the quick reply. I couldn't find the activity monitor preferences file you specified, in the Preferences directory. Here's what I've done: I rebooted from an older backup image on my external drive that I made using superduper. The activity monitor app worked from this disk image. I copied the AM app into my current drive, where it showed as a copy.
    I rebooted, and attempted to use this copy. It wouldn't let me due to file permissions problems of some sort. I opened the current version of AM and now it works.
    I'm not sure what fixed the problem, but Activity Monitory now seems to be working OK.
    thanks,
    Harold

  • Activity Monitor not working

    The activity monitor app stops working frequently. This message appears in the console log :
    2/25/09 6:49:52 PM Activity Monitor[1391] * -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (17) beyond bounds (17)
    Any suggestions ...? Thanks ...

    thanks for the suggestion ... however it did not work. I am able to recreate the problem every time I scroll in the process screen when the Activity monitor is running and it is always the same message on the console log :
    2/25/09 9:50:03 PM Activity Monitor[174] * -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (15) beyond bounds (15)
    Any other ideas ? Thanks

  • Help needed--activity monitor not working properly

    Activity Monitor is currently not showing any processes, no matter what I do. Otherwise, it appears to be functioning normally. I just can't see any processes listed. Also, A.M. works normally in a different account on my MBP.

    Hi
    In your user account Library/Preferences/ folder, there's a file com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist Quit AM first, then drag this file to the trash. This is the preference settings file for AM & it's possibly gone a bit odd. A new one will be created when you next open AM - any setting/display changes you made in AM will be lost.
    Try that - if it's ok now, just forget the file you trashed.

  • Activity Monitor not working in Yosimite

    Error Message:  You can’t use this version of the application “Activity Monitor.app” with this version of OS X.
    I am now running Yosimite. Activity Monitor picture not displayed on its icon either.
    How do I get Activity Monitor to run and get the icon picture to display too.

    Heheh revjay, exactly :-D
    @ Leinie: When you install any new software or updates, then it's always a good idea to repair permissions, so you will have a "clean" system afterwards.
    Repairing permission also solves quite a lot of issuses with applications i.e. if they tend to hang, or crash. So this should always be one of the first things you do when something is not doing as it should on your mac.
    Glad that it works now

  • 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:

  • HT1379 The USB ports on my 30" Cinema are not working.  The monitor has not been used for a year or so, and the computer is a Mac Book Pro, 1012 model running OS Mavericks.  I need to move the computer between two locations, and the other monitor is a 27"

    The USB ports on my 30" Cinema HD display appear to not work.  The monitor has not been used for almost a year, when I upgraded to a new Mac Book Pro and the 27" retina display.  Now I need to move the computer back and forth between two locations using the two displays.  The need for operating USB ports is essential.  Any ideas.  The display appears entirely normal.  Am running OS X 10.9.

    Disregard, problem solved.

  • How can I get Activity Monitor to work?

    I've searched the discussions to no avail, so I have this question: how can I get Activity Monitor to work? It launches and its window opens but then the spinning beachball appears. I've checked the Console and it shows that the Activity Monitor is attempting to fully launch but then it "exits" and then it tries to fully start up again, goes into an infinite loop or something. Issued a "force quit" succesfully. I've deleted the Activity Monitor's .plist, no joy. What to do? Thanks!
    I'm running 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro (late 2011)

    I wish I could be more positive but I have no experience of MacBook Pros and whether their demands on the system differ from my simple iMac.   If you have the time to scour through 'More like this' ( to the right of your initial post) and the links within it, you may find leads.
    I also found this thread via Google which in parts seems to echo your troubles.  I hope it helps; thank you for the star.

  • HT2188 iPad 1 requested activation after being low on power. Activation does not work.

    Hi
    My iPad 1 requested activation after being low on power. Activation does not work so I have tried to restore it from iTunes.  this progresses but after rebooting, it gets to the activation process for a few minutes and re-boots again - in a loop now. on ios6, not 7. help please?
    I also looked at trying to do a manual install of firmware via iTunes but I do not know the version of firmware or how to find it out - so really stuck!
    Thanks

    I pulled my unit out of the dock - powered up and the display goes blank (if you look carefully you can see the bios boot screen, then black, then you can see the backlight turn off.
    I plugged in the USB monitor and boom - I could log in.
    Once Logged in I could see that windows still thinks it has some of the monitors from the dock, and the internal display is set to disable.
    So the issue is the detection / setup of monitors in/out of the dock.
    I've done about all I can do for dubugging, I hope lenovo can pick up from here. if not I'll have to call lenovo support.

  • Pick activity is not working properly while creating two or more file adapt

    Hi,
    pick activity is not working properly while creating two or more file adapter for bpel process.
    bpel process compiled and deployed succesfully but while observing the wsdl file of deployed process you can find only one file adapter. so it polls only from that location.
    can anybody help on over this? or it's limitation of jdev to use only one file adapter at time while using Pick.
    Thanks
