Cannot launch Activity Monitor on Maverics 10.9.2

Is there anyone with the same problem for giving me a solution "Why I can't launch Activity Monitor on Maverics 10.9.2 Macbbok Pro?" ?

Has always worked for me. Try this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    Try logging into the Guest account and see if you can launch Activity Monitor.
    You can also try booting to the Safe Mode to see what happens:

  • Cannot run Activity Monitor

    I tried to run Activity Monitor. (One reason was to see if there was something causing seemingly sluggish behavior when, e.g., I open folders. Opening the Applications and Utilities folders seems to take a long time for all items to be listed.) I get the following message:
    Activity Monitor can not start because of incorrect file permissions.
    I have reset permissions using Disk Utility to no avail. I have reset permissions and ACL to all accounts using the 10.5 install disk to no avail. I have created another user (with Admin privileges), and Activity Monitor still won't run, giving the same error message. Any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix would be greatly appreciated. I am on the verge of reinstalling 10.5 (and am willing to do so, if it solves these problems). Thanks!

    You should check for ACL troubles in your /Applications directory
    Open terminal.app
    at the prompt type:
    ls -ael /Applications/utilities
    If you get something like this:
    drwxr-xr-x+ 3 kj staff Activity Monitor.app 102 Jul 19 01:36
    0: group:everyone deny delete,limit_inherit
    1: group:wheel allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeex tattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
    then you have ACL problems. There should be no acl entries on your apps.

  • Cannot launch "transport monitor"... what is this?

    I just got back from a crash but I think I've been lucky. I booted up from my Tiger startup disc, did an archive and install and I think everything is pretty much ok. I do get one red flag when i log in though and I cannot find any online information about this or what to do. The message: The application "Transport Monitor" could not be launched because of a Shared Library error: "8<TransportMonitor><TransportMonitor><HotSyncLib.PPC>".
    I'm guessing 2 files labeled TransportMonitor ended up somewhere and one of them has to go. Any help with this?
    BTW- great Apple Discussions and archives help! I got all my info on the sites and it led me right through the steps I needed! I wish all the companies out there were so user and customer friendly!
    thank-you!

    The error message and component item listed is often in reference
    to an installation of Palm desktop software.
    One of several articles I found as a result of a search of the error
    message ' transport monitor ' that came up says to reinstall the
    Palm software again. If you have done an archive & install,
    or other system changes were made, some of the parts of such
    an application support for hardware may be deficient or corrupt.
    {You could see about removing parts of unused software installs
    by getting and using a utility such as AppDelete.}
    ie: "Error: Transport Monitor could not be launched; fix" - MacFixit:
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060508093106808
    Other references to the cause of this Transport Monitor error or fix
    can be seen in other articles or posts from different locations online.
    This topic has also been discussed in Apple Support Discussions.
    ie: google search topic, ' mac os x transport monitor ' results page:
    http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=macos+x+transport+monitor&aq=0&oq=Mac+OS+Xtransport&aqi=g1&fp=leBsIIJAIN0
    If you have and use the Palm product, you may decide to reinstall the
    correct driver software for the item; or find and delete specific parts of
    that driver software using AppDelete (comes up in search) & be rid of it.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Cannot locate activity monitor

    ive looked everywhere and cant find it lol..anywhere i can DL it ?
    ive checked the original Install disc and i did not see it anywhere..and its driving me nuts

    Its default location is Apps/Utilities.
    You can do selective installs from the Install DVDs with an app called Pacifist. I accidently deleted my entire Utilities folder once (long, dumb story) and restored it with Pacifist. I have selectively installed many other things from the Install DVDs. It has a fully working demo version.

  • No data in the activity monitor

    All of a sudden I don't have any data in the activity monitor. Here's what happened. I was using safari viewing online pictures. I kept getting the rolling ball between pictures and noticed that safari was using 100%+ in processor usage and safari seemed slow. So I rebooted and opened the activity monitor and no data shows up. I run a quick hardware test and all pass. I havn't gone back to the pictures yet but normal browsing seems to be fine. I watch a few 1080P trailers and they work fine too.
    All ideas on why the monitor doesn't show data?
    Ray

    Hmm...let's try this:
    Go to User/Library/Preferences and drag the com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist file to your Desktop. Then try launching Activity Monitor again to see if that makes anything show up. If so, then it was a corrupted preferences file, and you can then trash the one on your Desktop.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, the only thing I can suggest is to Trash the application and the preferences file, then reinstall it from your 10.4 DVDs.

  • How do I locate and install Activity Monitor?

    I cannot find Activity Monitor on my computer.
    When and how it disappeared I do not know, but is there anyway of locating and installing a copy without a complete re-install?

    "Activity Monitor" is stored on the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder. Before reinstalling OS X, I recommend you to search it with Spotlight.
    To search it in Spotlight, press Command and Space keys so, if you have a look at the top right of the display, Spotlight will appear. Then, type "Activity Monitor" without quotes, and check if the application appears. If it appears, it hasn't disappeared because you can use it. If it doesn't appear, you have to reinstall Mac OS X. Insert the Mac OS X disc, hold the C key while your computer is starting, and reinstall Mac OS X. You won't lose anything from your computer

  • Error Launching Activty Monitor in SSMS

  • Slow DSL unless Activity Monitor utility is running?

    Very strange behavior w. my new Mac Mini. My DSL speed has droped from 3 Mbps (normal) to around .2Mbps. All other Macs on my home network are doing fine, one w. Tiger OS, the other Snow Leopard.
    But get this -- when I launch Activity Monitor, DSL speed immediately jumps up to normal. Close A.M. and my DSL speed is back down to almost non-functioning. Any one heard of this problem before? Thanks.

    Wow, no responses. I have heard of apps that conflict with others, but never an app that had to be running for something unrelated to work, in his case my WiFi/DSL.
    I generally avoid updating my OS when things are not working right. But maybe in this case, it might be worth the risk? Maybe the OS 10.7.4 update will correct the problem? Anyone agree or disagree? Thanks.

  • Activity Monitor crashes every time I launch it since Leopard upgrade.

    Activity Monitor crashes every time I try to launch it. It's done this ever since I first upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. I can't seem to narrow down why it happens. It doesn't seem to matter what's running already. I had it startup automatically when I had Tiger and upon the very first boot up in to Leopard it crashed and I've never been able to get it to run.
    I saw one other person that said he had the exact same problem with Activity Monitor and the only way he was able to resolve his issue was by copying the program from another Mac. Well, I've only got one Mac. I've run the software update and installed all the available q and I still have this persistent problem.
    Is it somehow possible to expand the file off the Leopard or Tiger DVD? Anyone have any other possible solutions? Are there other programs out there that will do the same thing as Activity Monitor?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Delete the com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist file located in /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ and relaunch Activity Monitor. If that doesn't fix it, create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists. If so, use Pacifist 2.5 to extract it from the install disk and replace the existing one and the plist file. If not, then you most likely have a conflicting or corrupted file somewhere in the old account. To fix that, delete the original account, selecting the save data option, recreate the old account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the new account, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, and slowly replace stuff. Also, see the steps I posted for resolving conflicts/corrupt plists within an account at:

  • Activity monitor won't launch

    It pops up for a second in the Dock and then disappears. Is there anyway to reinstall it? or trouble-shoot it? I repaired permissions but it didn't help.

    Hi
    Create another administrator account - call it whatever you like, test will do. System Preferences > Accounts > click the plus icon. Once you've created this log out of the current account and log into the new account. Now try to see if Activity Monitor will launch. If it does not try a reinstall of the OS but preserve network users and settings. If it does launch then log out of the new admin account, log back in to the old account and move the whole of the Preferences folder in /Users/Home/Library to the Desktop. Restart the mac. On successful log in you will notice that the dock has been reset back to its default - don't worry you have not lost anything. Go to the Preferences folder you previously moved to the desktop and find the com.apple.mail.plist and com.apple.dock.plist and move these two files to the newly created Preferences folder in /Users/Home/Library. If it tells you that com.apple.dock.plist already exists then overwrite it. Restart the mac again and you should now be OK.

  • Activity monitor never launch

    When try to launch the activity monitor, the icon showed up in dock, and then disappeared.

    Activity monitor is installed by default.
    It looks like your Mac OS X installation is damaged. You appear to be missing some or all of the contents of the directory
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphKit.framework/Versions/A/GraphKit
    cited in the log.
    This could be due to directory corruption or overall OS corruption:
    1. Run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified. Be sure to write down any error messages encountered in Step 2 of the procedure.
    2. If item 1 does not resolve the problem, perform an Archive and Install of Mac OS X. See my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the specified order.
    Good luck!

  • After launching Adobe CC many processes show as (Not Responding) in Activity Monitor

    I'm running Adobe CC on a new Apple MacPro 6,1 (12-core with 64GB RAM). I find that many processes get into a (Not Responding) state as displayed by Activity Monitor.
    Typically, when one sees a process (Not Responding) there's really not much that can be done other than using Activity Monitor to Quit or Force Quit the process. I've done this but the (Not Rsponding) processes even after being Quit/terminated, get relaunched with a different PID and will go into the (Not Responding) state almost immediately.
    Here's a typical situation I captured today. In this example it's the Qmaster process.
    This is becoming very annoying. However, I'm not sure what the implications of these (Not Responding) processes are. They do hold onto memory resouces but obviously aren't consuming/stealing CPU cycles. The Adobe CC does however become sluggish, so I'm thinking there's definitely a problem/bug here that Adobe needs to resolve.
    Any insights or help resolving this issue is most welcomed. Thank you.
    Is the Apple's Mavericks "App Nap" feature somehow involved with this I wonder ?  I do have that box unchecked in Energy Saver preferences.

    You have a program running that is incompatible. What third-party sound or audio applications are you running? It will be one of those. If you quit them the problem should disappear. You will have to force quit coreaudio and UserEventAgent via Activity Monitor or restart the computer but do not run the third-party application(s).

  • Activity Monitor won't open

    Lately I cannot open the AM I get the message "AM can not start because of incorrect file permissions I have trashed the AM plist from the preferences in Library but no result. Message concludes "try opening it from utilities in the apps folder" which is exactly where it is.
    Any help appreciated. I posted this last year and did not follow up, apologies.

    Try reinstalling the Activity Monitor application. Get Pacifist
    You can use Pacifist to extract the Activity Monitor application from your restore disk(s) and reinstall it.
    Make sure and run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions after you install the app. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
