Activity Monitor question please...

A while ago I read about using the Activity Monitor to tell if I don't have enough ram or if a program is using lots of resources...i forget though, what am i looking for?...is it the reads in and writes out numbers?...I did a search and couldn't find anything...
I also remember reading something about 'pages' or excessive pages?...but I can't recall what to look for...
I'm asking because when using Firefox i get a beach ball when i simply click on bookmarks in the menu looking for an address...I never had that happen before...I have the max of 2gb of ram on my 'puter so I'm not sure what's happening...
thanks for advice...

You can use Terminal (Applications/Utilities) to determine the amount of page in and page outs if that is what you are referring to, using the command;
top
Note page ins and page outs. If page outs are 5% or less than page ins, that is considered quite minimal. 10% is borderline; extra RAM may be beneficial.
20% or more you would benefit from more RAM.
Press Q when you are finished looking at top in Terminal.
Note that this data is renewed on start up, so have your system running for a several hours or wait till the end of the day, to gather a sufficient amount of data.
From what you have said, having 2GB of RAM I would expect that you have sufficient RAM for your purposes, and using the top command should verify that.
Try cleaning out your browser;
delete all cookies.
Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Show cookies > Remove all cookies.
Also
~/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/-----.default/Cache select all of those files and drag them to the trash also.
Empty the trash
See if that speed things up.

  • Activity Monitor Question

    If there was a book titled "Activity Monitor for Dummies," I'd buy it.  My question is in reference to the Network activity mode -- when  I'm monitoring network activity, I'm seeing a modest amount of packet activity being transmitted and received by my computer. Is this activity related to tracking operations being done by a third party?  In my innocent little world, I would expect to see zero bytes comming out of my 'puter when I'm not using it to communicate with the web. Can someone please explain.

    ... Is this activity related to tracking operations being done by a third party? 
    Possible, but very unlikely. Your computer routinely communicates with your router and other computers on your LAN. Even if you didn't have a router at all, your computer would constantly be attempting to find a network connection. Macs are relentless about that.
    If you doubt this, simply disconnect your router from the outside world. You will still see some activity. Only if you disable all network connections in System Preferences > Network will you see no communication at all.
    In my innocent little world, I would expect to see zero bytes comming out of my 'puter when I'm not using it to communicate with the web. Can someone please explain.
    If you are concerned about what processes want to connect to the outside world, you need Little Snitch: http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/
    If you are concerned that your computer has been taken over by a "bot" click here: http://www.botnetchecker.com/ Do not download advertised anti-malware junk from there or anywhere else though.

  • Activity monitor question for experts.

    When I open activity monitor it is constantly changing. I have safari open, but it is there and then it isn't and then it is in activity monitor. How do I read this and is that normal?

    mike sanders3 wrote:
    I entered the thread because it clearly said Activity Monitor for experts and I had an AM problem please tell me where I went wrong I thought we were here to help each other not be picky about threads. If your thread was something different then maybe it should have been more specific I just needed help and there was an opening that seemed to refer to my problem. I don't spend half my life here as you seem to do judging by your posts, let's just be nice to people who need help.
    In order to help people, they should understand the purpose of these boards.
    Had you read the OP's post, you would see that his Activity Monitor is working and his question was simply why Safari appears and disappears from the AM window.
    Your issue is entirely different and that is why I suggested starting a new thread with your particular problem/issue which has nothing to do with Safari in the Activity Monitor.
    Perhaps the term "hijacking a thread" seems rash to you, but it is a common expression with no personal attachment to it. It merely means that someone has used another poster's thread to pose a completely different topic.
    To best get help on this or any technical board, first search for instances of your particular issue, which may have already been solved, and if you do not find such a topic, start a new thread with the Subject describing your issue.
    Once people start responding to other posts in a thread, nobody any longer knows who is answering whom.
    It is always preferable to start a new topic if you want a quick solution to a problem, rather than bury it in another person's thread. It's called "Netiquette" and it is not my invention. It's been around as long as the net has been around AFAIK.

  • RAM and Activity Monitor questions M.B.P. Is sOoOoo slow and I just don't know where to start..RAM and Activity Monitor

       So I am really unsure where to start but I def need a little help getting to where I want to be or feel I should be.  I understand that I am pretty much filled when it comes to the RAM on this machine but I need to figure out how to lower it.  I back up my machine about once a week which is longer than I would prefer but due to the way Mavericks has been acting I cant deal with the long backup process.... WHY?!?? may be your response to that and I will fill you in.  My external Hard Drive is a 1tb Lacie and its about 2 years old.  In that time I have dropped, lost, threw and slept ontop of it.  Causeing minor damage (each time) to the casing.  So now becomes rather hot and I kinda dont want it to burn out.  When I first updated to Mavericks the backups were fast and went along mb by mb...now though, the updates drag out for 3-5 hours and update kb by kb.  Tried some of the "solutions" posted on here but none seem to work any more than me consistantly purging my system while the backup happens...kinda why I dont have time to do it everyday like I'd like.
         ANYWAY can someone please fill me in on a way, program, application, anything that will help me lower my RAM?  Because in the spirit of honesty I just dont have the extra funds to snag some new RAM or another HD.  I am almost at the point of saying "F**K IT" and wiping everything off the computer so its as close to empty as can be and manually, one by one redownloading what I want/need.  But I dont have the time to accomplish that either.  PLEASE lend me your ear and help a brudda out with some information from that exceptional brain of yours. 
         Below is a copy of my machines "report" from EtreCHECK and I am including screen shots of what the (Mavericks) Activity Monitor currently looks like in ALL PROCESSES.  PLUS it kinda seems that I have WAY TOOO MANY processes going on in the ACTIVITY MONITOR and have NO clue how to lower the amount.    Will truly appreciate any help anyone can toss my way. 
        THANK YOU

    Mavericks is designed to use as much RAM as possible. Free RAM is wasted RAM... it's RAM that's not working for you, not doing anything helpful. Seeing your RAM full is not an indication that there is a problem. Seeing your memory pressure graph spike would be.
    As for the performance issues, see my Mac Performance Guide.

    You should probably try to weed some of that out, if possible, or at least make sure it's all updated and compatible with Mavericks.

    Are you still using a Blackberry. Their software is still running.
    Make sure Flash is fully updated. Even with it set to automatic it often fails to update. I suggest you also turn it off and see if there is an improvement. many sites will use HTML5 if Flash is not installed. Install YouTube5 Safari extension

  • One Monitoring question, Please answers it

    You execute the commands as part of copying statistics to another database:
    SQL>Execute DBMS_STATS.EXPORT_TABLE_STATS('SCOTT','EMP',NULL,'STATS',NULL,TRUE);
    which two option are correct recommendations that must be implemented beore performing this step?(Choose two)
    A.The old statistics must be imported to the source database data dictionary.
    B.The AVG_ROW_LEN and NUM_ROWS column in the USER_TABLES view should be checked that the values are nonzero for EMP table.
    C.The schema ststistics for the user SCOtt should be collected.
    D.The EMP table should be analyzed to obtain recent statistics.
    E.The table that will hold the statistics must be analyzed.

    difference hardware configuration will make a difference outcome...i tell u i had install every driver released by Creative and no even single problem to me...

  • Could someone please explain what "Run Spindump" & "Run System Diagnostics" does in 'Activity Monitor' ?

    Could someone please explain what "Run Spindump" & "Run System Diagnostics" does in 'Activity Monitor' ?

    Good question.  You don't need to worry about running those.  They will run automatically when needed by the system.  The information they generate (some) is sent to apple automatically (unless that setting is disabled).
    If you want to look at the output of these files, most can be found in the console (Utility/Console).  Open the app and look at all the system messages your Mac generates....on the right hand side I would bet you already have a crash log or spindump that was collected without you even knowing it.

  • Updated to Mavericks. Now theres tons of activity in my terminal and my activity monitor doesn't seem normal. I want to think someone's hacking me, but i need experienced help please!

    I spent all night trying to fix this. It seems to me that someone has been trying to hack into my system with all of the random codes/lines in my terminal and i have all of his foreign IP addresses. And now i get this strange message that popped up in my terminal. Idk what it entirely means? I would very appreciate if someone could just walk me through this. Thank you very much.
    First time poster. I have Macbook Pro. OSX. Just downloaded the new mavericks. I'm i have my firewall on. I stay secure. I run Netbarrier, Virusbarrier, IdentityScrubber.
    I know something is a little odd or just doesn't make since about my activity monitor. Then my WiFi was hacked last night and this person was writing tons lines of commands/codes that i found in my terminal and my activity monitor doesn't look normal,  and I've only been a mac owner for about a year now and i'm learning more and more but while trying to figure out what was going on this message popped up which concerned me the most. Any help would be most appreciated, thanks guys. I have my terminal full of his foreign ip addresses i noticed, and a lot of other commands and lines he wrote out that i definitely did not type myself. Can anyone give me a hand on this? Thanks

    haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

  • Time machine space questions, not the same as Activity Monitor

    Hello
    I am new here and kindly ask your thoughts on what I am seeing.
    I have a 13" MacBook Pro early 2011 with OS 10.7.5
    Earlier this year I tried an upgrade to a new OS and experienced a failure that required me to make a visit to the Apple store.
    I believe they reinstalled the OS and if I remember correctly I just did a recovery with the Time Machine backup I had.
    While that backup was not very recent, yea OK I get that was stupid, what was odd was that not all my files were backed up.
    I lost a significant number of files from April 2013 until the time of the failure in 2014, for reasons I have no clue as to why.
    My Time Machine does not have any excluded files as far as I can tell.
    So my first question is:  Can anyone help me understand what may have happened and how to counter that?
    Then yesterday I decided to invest in a new backup external drive.
    During the process of setting it up and doing the 1st Time Machine backup on that, I noticed the following:
    In Activity Monitor under the "Disk Usage" tab shows the Macintosh HD as using 258 of 319 GB, and then selecting my user name it shows using 578 of 639 GB.
    When I did the backup with Time Machine it backed up approximately 250GB.
    I thought Time Machine backed up the entire HD.
    What is the difference between the Macintosh HD space and the user space in terms of usage and total?
    Should I be worried or visiting the Apple store again?

    OK, done.
    I created a text.txt document containing the words "Version 0". I saved it to the Desktop, closed it and selected "Back Up Now" from the Finder.
    Waited for that to complete, opened the test.txt document again, modified it by adding the words "Version 1", saved it, closed it and selected "Back Up Now" again.
    Repeated that twice more, so the end result was a Text.txt containing the words "Version 0", "Version 1", "Version 2", and "Version 3".
    I expect that I should now have three versions from which to choose to restore, all from different times, plus the latest one still on the Desktop.
    Creation and backups now complete, so the next step was restoration:
    From the Finder, I used "Enter Time Machine" and verified that I had four different recent times from which to choose. I chose the original text.txt document and elected to "keep both files". It restored the original, which I opened and verified it contained nothing but the text "Version 0".
    I repeated this for the subsequent version. I opened that one and confirmed it contained the words "Version 1".
    I repeated this for the subsequent version. Now I have three restored text.txt documents, plus the one on the Desktop.
    I opened all four text.txt documents and stacked them as shown in the following screenshot:
    Conclusion, no surprises that I can determine.
    Is this what you had in mind, or was there something I did that was different from what you need?

  • Activity Monitor processes - a questionable one

    I looked on Activity Monitor on All Processes and saw something I thought was strange. Under the process mdimport there is a User named "nobody" and it is right below the mdimport with my user name. it has 3 threads devoted to it but it doesn't look like it is doing anything. First off what is mdimport and why is there a user named nobody on my comp, is that a standard process on Mac OS 10.4.6? ( I'm paranoid now that this is someone hacking my computer) please respond as soon as you can. thanks.
    iBook PowerPC G4 1.07 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 100 GB HD, 768 MB DDR SDRAM, 32 MB VRAM, Superdrive, AirPort Extreme

    The mdimport process is used by Spotlight to index files. It runs as the nobody user so that it can't index anything in areas restricted to the system or the accounts you've created on the machine. Mac OS X creates several user accounts for system-level tasks when it is installed, and these crop up from time to time. Your system is not being hacked.

  • "Simple" question about Activity Monitor

    When Activity Monitor displays percentages, is that percentages relative to what else is running, or is that percentage of the CPU's processing capacity? Something that is using up 30-40% of the CPU's processing capacity is a lot more intense than something that is using 30-40% of the CPU's activity AMONGST the other threads running.
    So which is it? Percentage of the CPU's processing CAPABILITY or percentage of what the processor is chewing on right now - regardless of how much more it could chew on.
    This will help us decide if our current xserve (1G, 1CPU, G4) is adequate for our needs or we're constantly maxing out the processor and need to look for a faster server. I don't want to replace an older, but still adequate system just because newer is obviously faster.

    It's entirely possible for a process to use more than 100% of a CPU.
    In the case of a dual-CPU machine you could use up to 200% (100% x 2 CPUs).
    In the case of a quad-core machine (2 x dual-core CPUs) you could see up to 400% (100% x 4 cores).
    An 8-core server could see up to 800%
    You see, the 100% mark is based on each CPU core, not all cores combined. I guess that wasn't clear in my earlier response.

  • Activity monitor Page Out question

    Is there a way to get Page Outs to report the number of page outs rather than bytes ?
    And when did this change, as it used to report in # of pages.... I think in 10.5

    Sorry, but that cannot be changed. If you want a better report of that information then open the Terminal and enter: top then press RETURN. Top's information is more complete than what is reported in Activity Monitor. Also see:
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor

    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
