Bug found in Activity Monitor app

Hello,
I think I've found a bug in Activity Monitor.
If you move the app from Applications/Utilities to Applications it will start up but the rainbow disk will spin forever, and the window will not be populated with data. Put it back into Utilities and it works again.
The issue is that the location of activitymonitord seems to be hardcoded to be in the Utilities folder.
The following steps are repeated endlessly:
com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.ActivityMonitor[3061]): posixspawn("/Applications/_Utilities/Activity Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/activitymonitord", ...): No such file or directory
com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.ActivityMonitor[3061]): Exited with exit code: 1
com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.ActivityMonitor): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

Hello,
Thank you very much for your comment.
Well, I think those apps and utilities are probably not designed well then. It goes against UI expectations if you aren't allowed to make a subfolder in Applications or Utilities folders.
And, I have enough apps now that I need to make subfolders to keep it sane and quickly navigable.
The only app I've found so far which dies is Activity Monitor. In my case, I have been launching it often to figure out why the Mac crashes and hangs so often. Badly behaving apps like this (just crash, not retry endlessly!) and apparently a lack of a supervisory system to kill them is a problem I think with the Mac.
Thanks anyway, I lost this round I suppose!

  • Activity Monitor.app won't open

    I have researched this like crazy and nothing has worked.
    I looked in my Console, and there are tons of iMovie errors(?) in there, and then there is one for the Activity Monitor that says:
    dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphKit.framework/Versions/A/GraphKit
    Referenced from: /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/Activity Monitor
    Reason: image not found
    I ran 'repair permissions' and shut down the computer, restarted, and the Activity Monitor still will not open.
    I also opened the Terminal and typed in this:
    ls -la /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphKit.framework/Versions/A/GraphKit
    And it returned this:
    it returns this:
    ls: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphKit.framework/Versions/A/GraphKit: No such file or directory
    But, being a new Mac user, I have no idea what this means.
    I have tried everything, with no luck, and I am hoping someone here can help me.
    Thanks bunches! Jules

    Just for future reference, should someone experience this:
    I used the disk utility and repaired permissions.
    Then I inserted the OS disk and 'updated' the XcodeTools for the system.
    I then restarted the computer, and now I can open the Activity Monitor.
    It had something to do with my installing that X11 dealie a week+ ago I am sure.
    HUGz! Jules

  • For the average person what really is the point of the activity monitor app when all you really want to know is whether your mac is running at its best?

    I have had my imac for nearly 18 months now,
    It's okay, is the best I can say about it.
    It cost me around £800+
    So recently (and foolishly!) I downloaded OS Mavericks when I was actually looking for a freebie word processor programme (I got Bean because it's simple like me.)
    Now the point of all this is that Mavericks has new features like a redesigned Safari (But I ain't noticed any difference yet) and Imaps (Huh!) and Ibooks and Imovie or something.
    So when you are oldish like me, you really don't want people to keep changing and introducing new stuff (most of which is pointless anyway) all the time; because it takes us old ***** a while to get used to the last "improvement."
    So you try and get rid of all these new apps that you don't want and didn't ask for anyway,
    and then you find out you can't, because they're an integral part of the new OS.
    Brilliant!
    Then you find that Mail has to redo itself and this thing no longer works properly etc. and you start wishing you hadn't got up that morning...
    So you try and get it all back the way it was..
    And you can't.
    Because you don't have an external hard drive to use the Time machine back up facility.
    So you get in touch with Apple Support and it's now nearly bedtime, but at least you feel like you might be gettin' somewhere.
    You talk to the supportguy and suddenly you can't remember what the problem is and what your name is, and you're thinking you might as well order in a pizza seein' as you've drunk the last of the gin..."
    Anyway the guy manages to keep his temper and you get some degree of order restored but the machine still seems "jumpy" so someone says to you
    "Check out the Activity Monitor! That'll tell you if something's not working right."
    So you do, but it doesn't.
    Just a bunch of numbers and CPU stuff and User Idiot Input etc.
    All you really want is some little box to pop up and say,
    "Hey! yyyou've really ssscrewed things upppp-p here, old mmmmman!!. This programme is no longer functioning properly, that thing appears to frozen, and you just wiped half your saved photos of Aunt Jessie's 94th birthday celebration (the one's where she had her eyes open)..
    Press here for a full maintenance overview and repair menu.."
    By this time you are on the floor, your leg's got cramp and you really really need a pee.
    But there ain't no maintenance programme, just an activity monitor app you can't make any sense out of, so you yank the **** power cord out of the socket and go to bed..
    So you try and

  • DashboardClient on Activity Monitor App; using 100% CPU; Fans running

    I have a 2.16 MBP 2Gb 100GB HDD 7200 with 10.5.2.. Would this be caused by having to many apps on the dock?
    Thanks
    Andy

    No. It's a Dashboard Widget (something brought up by the F12 key) that is giving you trouble. I've had this issue with the AirTrafficControl widget, for example (and I stopped using it).
    Hope this helps...

  • Activity Monitor Won't Run

    Anyone else having this problem? Activity monitor will simply not run. It starts, then crashes...every time.

    Me, too! Since upgrading to SL & then immediately to 10.6.2 a couple days ago.
    Well, it won't run - it didn't crash, it just hung on startup. I tried repairing permissions and, after finding this thread, removed the plist file suggested, but no luck. I just realized I should check the log (Console), and found it was putting out this, over and over again:
    12/13/09 11:28:47 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.ActivityMonitor[4828]) posix_spawn("/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/activitymonitord", ...): No such file or directory
    And exiting, then retrying every 10 seconds.
    I opened the Activity Monitor package to confirm that activitymonitord is there, but upon rereading the message I realized it's telling me Activity Monitor needs to be in the utilities folder - and I had moved it into a subdirectory (to declutter my Utilities folder). It always worked there in previous systems, but apparently SL's Activity Monitor has a hard-coded address built in.
    I moved AM back to where Apple wants it and it immediately opened. Don't know if this helps anyone else, but I thought I'd put this out there in case it does . . .
    (Yes, I know you "should" leave programs where Apple puts them and keep your files in your user folder, but I just like to do things my way whenever I can get away with it.)

  • The application Activity Monitor quit unexpectedly

    Activity Monitor refuses to startup since installing Leopard on this MacBook. Everything else seems to be working properly.

    I am having problems with this machine, power supply, fan cooling or ?? and need to monitor CPU activity as I increase activity
    on the CPU's.  Activity Monitor v 1.5 (54), Tiger v10.4.11, works as expected.  Just the problem with Leopard 10.5.8.
    Thanks,
    John

    Sounds like maybe the graphic card and/or heat.
    Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12381/temperature-monitor
    iStat Menus...
    http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/
    And/or iStat Pro...
    http://www.islayer.com/apps/istatpro/
    If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range, that's likely it.
    10.5 uses the Graphic card alot more.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Activity Monitor won't run after leopard install

    The only problem i'm having is that when i try and load Activity Monitor it bounces once and crashes. No amount of relaunches and reset/relaunches fixes the problem.
    Any ideas? I've also tried launching the old tiger version of Activity Monitor that is on one of my SuperDuper backup external drives, but no luck.
    Thanks,
    Conrad

    I apologize for the poor formatting. I did a filter for Activity and found these references to the crash. It looks like i'm missing a framework required for displaying the graphs that activity monitor uses. Any advice on how to go about replacing that?
    Thanks

  • Updates break Activity Monitor (Mac Pro & G4)

    After applying the recent updates to my Mac Pro Quad Xeon and my G4 dual 800, both running 10.4.11, Activity Monitor does not work on either machine. On double-clicking, I get the launch animation and the Dock expands for less than a second, but the application does not launch. Trashing the .plist file in the User domain prefs folder doesn't help. Neither does Repairing Permissions.
    Conversely, Activity Monitor works fine on my iMac, running 10.5.5. All machines are networked via a Time Capsule – the iMac via AirPort, and the desktops directly via ethernet (Cat 5e).
    Any ideas about what's gone wrong here?

  • Inactive Activity Monitor

    Greetings
    For some time now, the Activity Monitor on my PB has stopped working. I keep a shotcut to it in my dock, and when I click on the icon it simply bounces, but does not start.
    Has anyone else noticed this and and are there any known fixes?
    Thanks

    Thanks Tuttle
    It's been a long afternoon.
    I went ahead and got Pacifist, trashed my current copy of AM, put in the Tiger DVD and did the reinstall. I think it took a lot longer than it's supposed to because a) I may have tried to install a 'language pack' first, instead of the correct .app & b) Pacifist decided to update the prebinding - apparently for my entire disk - without my asking it to. After about an hour (after I had realized that what I installed was probably the wrong thing) of waiting, I force-quitted it, and started over.
    I finally installed what I'm pretty sure is the correct .app file (from AdditionalEssentials.pkg), reapplied the 10.4.3 update, rebooted, repaired perms every step of the way - and got no response from Activity Monitor.
    Moreover, I had checked the logs (thanks Niel) after trying to open AM before doing the reinstall and found that the same log entry was being generated after the update. Here it is:

    Also, I found that the Activity Monitor .app file that I trashed was about 8 MB in size, while the reinstalled version shows 1 MB. From a look at the package contents it seems this may be explained by my having chosen support for additional languages at install. The reinstall copy shows a date modified of Mar 20, 2005 while the original shows Jun 9 2005.
    It seems clear that the original .app is corrupted, but I'm running into a wall about how to repair or replace it. Any further suggestions would be most welcome.

  • Activity Monitor no longer works, but icon is there

    Recently, my Activity Monitor App in the Utilities folder stoped working. You try to load it up , but it won't start up.
    Is there a way to relaod this app without having to reload the OS X Panther, and do all the updates again?

    Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following commands:
    sudo chmod 4775 "/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app/Contents/Resources/pmTool"
    sudo chown root:admin "/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app/Contents/Resources/pmTool"
    Press Enter and type in your administrator password as necessary; when done, the Activity Monitor should open properly. Additionally, if you deleted some or all of the receipts from the /Library/Receipts/ folder, the ability of the Disk Utility to repair your permissions will be affected; you may need to reinstall Mac OS X to get the receipts back.

  • Activity Monitor still broken

    I was told that it was probably a problem with 10.4.5. Activity Monitor doesn't show any programs.
    Now I've upgraded to leopard the same problem persists. I've deleted the plist files and this makes no difference. I can now, with leopard, look at the plist files and there isn't any obvious reason for this.
    A ps -A in command mode works perfectly well, but no programs at all appear in Activity Monitor!
    Any suggestions gratefully received...

    OK, it's to do with:
    Permissions, the location of the Activity Monitor Application and the Install Receipt file ...
    Open a Terminal window and enter
    ls -l /Library/Receipts/Essentials.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom
    ls -l "/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app/Contents/Resources/pmTool"
    If you get an error about "pmTool" it means you moved Activity Monitor from /Applications/Utilities
    Move it back there and then run Disc Utility and Repair Permissions
    If you can't repair it means it's lost the Receipt file somehow

    thanks to both for the suggestions
    You are very welcome.
    @dovn
    I red the page, the fact is that I'm not able to figure out what's causing the problem
    the application freezes in any occasion, even when the mac was just turned on..
    could it be that it's somehow in conflict with an other process running in background?!
    Sometime conflict occur, but I doubt with Activity Monitor.
    I was thinking of maybe I could just insert the OSX application disk that came with the macbook and trying that way reinstalling the app?!
    Did your machine come with Snow? Anyway, I would do a repair install of Sno by installing Sno over Sno as in an upgrade install. Such an install, while usually very safe, still is an install so be appropriated backed up if you proceed. You will need to reinstall 10.6.1 and 10.6.2 after the repair install. Do so using only the [10.6.2 combo updater|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959].This approach might fix any corruption leading to your problem.

  • 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
