HI,
Ok.. you need to do an Archive and Install to restore your system software. This will not erase your drive, just place a new system folder on the disk. As with any installations, make sure your important data is backed up first.

  • I can't run activity monitor application. It just processes with the multicolored disc spinning, but does not open.

    I can't run activity monitor application. It just processes with the multicolored disc spinning, but does not open.  It also won't close without using "Force Quit." When I access it in Force Quit it's listed as not responding. I am getting the messase that my start-up disc is full, but I can't assess the status without using the activity monitor app. Thanks for any assistance you can give. -F.J.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your hard drive is full, you have to delete files. Open Finder, search in all your user's folders and delete files that you don't need, or move them to an external drive.
    When the hard drive is full, OS X works slow and applications may freeze, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is the reason why Activity Monitor isn't working

  • 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.

  • Rainbow wheel when open activity monitor

    hello, my laptop has been working fine, up until a month it's a bit slow when opening applications...but now, as i started reading, i can check the processes on the memory by checking the activity monitor...but when i open it, it only shows the beach ball of death...and i have to close it by force quitting it...any ideas? thanks

    the.,
    If you have hard drive corruption that requires a repair every third day you most likely have some hardware acting up. Bad RAM is the usual cause or your hard drive is failing.
    I would try running the extended version of your Apple Hardware Test.
    It's not perfect but may flag something.
    A more thorough test for RAM is the free Rember.
    Use the extended test also.
    Here's a nice faq on RAM testing.
    I don't use Drive genius. I've owned another utility for years.
    The only one I would recommend is DiskWarrior. It is the best at directory repairs. It rebuilds then actually replaces your old directory. I feel every Mac owner should have a copy.
    It also has File System repair now and hard drive S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics.
    I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand. It has repaired every little and big issue I have ever had with my three Macs.
    I'm not saying Drive Genius is not up to par...wouldn't know, I just have had such great success with DW that I see no need to use another utility.

  • Server 2008 R2 DNS Server can not open active directory erro 4000

    The DNS server was unable to open Active Directory.  This DNS server is configured to obtain and use information from the directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it.  Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly
    and reload the zone. The event data is the error code. Error 4000
    This just started happening yesterday. Also File service and print server is unable to contact because of this error. I have no lookup zones. When I try and go to the DNS server I get a message The server VETSALDC could be contacted The error was Access
    Denied. Would you like to add it anyway?
    PLEASE HELP

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that DNS unable to open Active Directory with error 4000.
    This happens when that particular DC/DNS server has lost its Secure channel with itself or PDC. This can also happen in a single DC environment where that DC/DNS server holds all the FSMO roles and is pointing to itself as Primary DNS server.
    You may check AD DS using command line “DCdiag” (run as administrator). besides, you may try to stop and restart AD DS service(detailed steps reference the link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732714(WS.10).aspx ), make sure that the AD DS is running correctly.
    Then restart the DNS service, detailed steps reference the link:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc735673(v=ws.10).aspx .
    If the problem still exits, is there any other DC or DNS on your network? Post the TCP/IP parameters (ipconfig /all) of DC and DNS here.
    Best Regards,

  • Can someone explain activity monitor?

    Can someone tell me the difference between
    active memory
    wired memory
    inactive memory?
    I have 2gb's of mem but I am getting a few page outs. It says I am using 1.96 GB's of memory but I only have Parallels (384mb given to it) and mail, safari open?? Over 900MB's of memory are "inactive" but I don't understand what that means.
    Kalel

    Wired memory
    This information can't be cached to disk, so it must stay in RAM. The amount depends on what applications you are using.
    Active memory
    This information is currently in RAM and actively being used.
    Inactive memory
    This information is no longer being used and has been cached to disk, but it will remain in RAM until another application needs the space. Leaving this information in RAM is to your advantage if you (or a client of your computer) come back to it later.
    Free memory
    This memory is not being used.

  • Hide fields for activities when they are opened via Activity Monitor

    Hi,
    In CRM 5.0, my requirement was to hide a number of fields from activity display via transaction CRMD_ORDER & CIC0 (SAPGUI based transactions). I achieved it by using screen variant. I assigned my screen variant to different transactions (CRMD_ORDER, CIC0 etc.), and things were working fine.
    But when I open activity monitoring report (transaction S_AE2_89000019), search for some activities and open an activity by double-clicking in the report, the hidden fields become visible. Although, the transaction being displayed in CRMD_ORDER.
    I couldn't enable my transaction variant for transaction S_AE2_89000019, obviously because this is a report transaction which in turn opens activity when we double-click on the grid.
    Any idea how to avoid these hidden fields being displayed via S_AE2_89000019?
    Regards,
    Kaushal

    Hey Kaushal,
    Let me first inform you the following:
    1) Transaction Variant are associatated to Dialog transactions only......Which means when u call report which eventually refers the same transaction even then the transaction variants is not called....
    For the whole transaction variant to workout, you need CALL transaction "  ..."....
    2) The transaction S_AE2_89000019 is not a dialog transaction, its a parameter transaction which eventually calls a report AQZZ/SAPQUERY/SMCRM_REP_ACT1==
    3)This report in turn uses the call to FM CRM_1O_CALL_FOREIGN which launches that crmd_order transaction screen  and not crmd_order transaction..
    You can enchance that report by creating a z report and inside that z report you can fulfill your requirement..
    Inspire ppl by reqwarding..
    Regards,
    Anand...

  • Why do I have 10.6 version of Activity Monitor in 10.7? It won't open

    I partitioned my Hard drive and am dual booting into Lion on my early 09' MacBook Pro.  Oh, and the other partiton is running Snow Leopard, all up to date etc..
    I tried opening Activity monitor and this is what I got:
    How exactly is this possible or what did I do wrong? Thanks for any input.
    Doug

    you might have what I have which is I have an ssd or second hard drive with my os and my other one has the home folder in it with all my user data. This is because one is smaller then the other but as you may know SSD is faster. I digress.
    It must mean you have it on there twice. not sure what would happen if you deleted it... when I spotlight search I make sure I'm clicking the right activity monitor because the other one I know is because I have SL on my other hard drive.

  • Activity Monitor does not want to open

    Hello all!
    As you see, question in subject. I am trying to open Activity monitor on MacBook Pro and it is not coming up.
    All possible updates are installed.
    Thank you for answer,
    Ivan

    Open the Console application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and look for log entries made around the time you tried to open the Activity Monitor.
    If you see a message about the pmTool not being setuid root, use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to repair permissions.
    If you see a message about GraphKit not being found, see this thread for a fix.

  • Permissions ACL Freakout - Activity Monitor Can't Run - Time Machine?

    Occasionally, when I repair disc permissions on 1.5.5, I find that virtually every file on my computer says "ACL found but not expected". The repair takes up two two hours to run.
    The repair works, but the condition appears to come back every time I run Time Machine. All of this would be a superficial irritation except that I often can't run Activity Monitor, and have to go through the two-hour permissions repair in order to get that it working again.
    Ideally, I'd like to prevent the permissions condition from happening and keep Activity Monitor operable. Any ideas?
    A few tidbits:
    Activity Monitor is in Applications\Utilities
    I run Time Machine from an account other than the Admin one
    The permissions repair can be done from any account successfully

    SuperDuper is fine. Even Disk Utility Restore will do the job.
    But I'm beginning to be "cautiously paranoid" with breaking in / testing / torturing / any new drive now (again) for a day or two before putting it into full service. If that sounds hard, just zero the drive and fill it up with junk data that gets reformated later anyway.
    Can't go far wrong with WD 640GB $76 from OWC right now. Maybe a couple. Two backup sets for every drive.

  • Spinning Ball 4 1 App. + No Activity Monitor!?

    So I'm having some issues with my G4, running 10.3.9. It is having real problems accessing a certain file and program. I haven't quite been able to reason it down to some corrupt application or file...I believe the problem is bigger than that.
    Not sure what I did, but I can't download anything with my download manager Speed Download! I get the spinning-ball-of-death when I try to open or run S.D. I get the same spinning-ball when I try to open the folder where S.D. stores it's downloaded files.
    I've unistalled the application and deleted/changed the download folder that S.D. uses. I figure this would cancel out any corrupt files within the app; however, when I try to open the new version of Speed Download it starts the process and then just spins. I can't click on anything to do with the app. But everything else on the machine functions as normal.
    Other issues: I have no ability to open Activity Monitor to find out more about the computer's processes. And I get the same spinning ball when I try to open Console, so I can't look to the log files.
    I've tried repairing permissions and optimizing the directories with Disk Warrior, but don't know which way to turn.
    Any advice is good advice,
    Thanks,

    800 MHz Powermac G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   1.25 GB RAM + Multiple drives

    Question regarding this continuing problem...
    It seems that it is a font corruption problem. I would love to be able to root out the corupt fonts and keep the rest. I can temporarily remove the fonts, or move them to another folder, but this is temporary!
    I have tried to resolve duplicate fonts, and disable fonts (even delete) fonts within Font Book. I have used Font Finangler to "clean the cache" of my fonts.
    But Speed Download is back to not working. And Word lists corrupt fonts whenever I open it, new ones each time. I've tried deleting the listed fonts from within my main library with Font Book, and erased theOffice font cache before rebooting.
    Any easy programs that would allow me to keep the majority of my collected fonts? Do they continue to infect other fonts; spreading like a virus?
    Thank you,
    it is frustrating,
