Dashboard Istat Pro

Hello,
I just updated this widget called Istat Pro (monitors all hardware parameters) and the old version of this widget was sent to Trash. Now, I can't fully empty Trash because it says Istat is being used. I really have no idea of what to do. I've tried to disable the widget, and the widget can't be removed from Trash. Any ideas/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

Try using Secure Empty Trash from the File pull down menu. If that doesn't work, rebooting your Mac may break the connection between the app and the OS, allowing you to delete it.

  • Istat Pro "Processes" doesn't work since upgrade to OS X 10.8.2

    Ever since I upgraded the OS to 10.8, the istat Pro widget on the dashboard doesn't list anything but a stack of empty white squares under "Processes". Is this a known bug?

    Thanks CT! Here are the steps from the macrumors.com link:
    Steps:
    1. Locate your widget, it will be under /Library/Widgets or ~/Library/Widgets
    2. Right click it and select: "Show Package Contents"
    3. Open Wide.js or Tall.js file in some editor (Wide is for horizontal view, Tall for vertical)
    4. Locate the line
    Quote: 
    WideSkinController.prototype.updateProcesses = function(){
    var _self = this;
    var exclude = "";
    if(p.v("processes_excludewidgets") == 'on')
    exclude = " grep -v DashboardClient | "; if(p.v("processes_sort_mode") == 'cpu')
    widget.system('ps -arcwwwxo "pid %cpu command" | egrep "PID|$1" | grep -v grep | ' + exclude + ' head -7 | tail -6 | awk \'{print "<pid>"$1"</pid><cpu>"$2"</cpu><name>"$3,$4,$5"</name></item>"}\'', function(data){ _self.updateProcessesOut(data);});
    else
    widget.system('ps -amcwwwxo "pid rss command" | egrep "PID|$1" | grep -v grep | ' + exclude + ' head -7 | tail -6 | awk \'{print "<pid>"$1"</pid><cpu>"$2"</cpu><name>"$3,$4,$5"</name></item>"}\'', function(data){ _self.updateProcessesOut(data);});
    Change "PID|$1" to "PID| $1" (Add space before $ sign)
    5. Save the changes
    6. remove widget and re-add it Dashboard, and it should be fixed

  • IStat Pro widget shows gradual increase in RAM usage

    I have the iStat Pro widget on my dashboard. every time i open up the dashboard, it shows that i have less and less RAM free, which obviously worries me, since whenever I open up dashboard i am idle; im not doing anything besides reading a webpage, or just charging my iPod. I would understand if there is less RAM while i am working with my pictures, but it does worry me. Please help, anyone that can, I greatly appreciate the help :-)!

    Any running process on the Mac may consume more RAM over time. Safari and other browsers especially will use more RAM over time. However, free RAM is misleading as an indicator of whether you're running out of memory. Available RAM is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. Although you may notice that Free RAM may decrease over time, you still have plenty of available RAM when you include Inactive RAM. See the following:
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
    Memory Management in Mac OS X
    Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
    A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
    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.

  • Fan Speed ( RPM ) Istat Pro

    Hi, Have a new macbook, and im running istat pro in dashboard, if anyone is using istat pro as well , can you please post your exhaust fan speed here, mine always runs between 1903-2003 rpms. I just want to compare speeds and make sure my unit is not running hot all the time! Thanks in advance!

    Mine is sitting on exactly 2000 rpm right now just browsing this forum. I cannot hear it at all. Do some video encoding and you will see it get up in the 5000 rpm range. Even at that speed, it is no where near as loud as most PC laptops.

  • IStat Pro System Monitoring Widget

    The answer is here...nearly...looks like we may have a great system widget...
    I just found this widget on Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    "We get alot of emails asking about support for intel based macs in iStat Pro and iStat nano. At this stage there is no support for fan or temperature sensors in Intel based Macs in either widget. We will add support for cpu temps via the SpeedIt kernel extension in the next round of updates".

    Hey. Yeah, what's goin on here. Is the widget supposes to show is temp as well? It didn't work on mine. Everything is working thou except temperature.

  • Istat pro is NOT supported on macbook air

    i went to the apple store today and downloaded istat pro on the mba and it was the one with the solid state drive it said the temp was 30 degrees ferenhight yes ferenhight it in celcus it says 0 and it said fan speed - 200 so islayer needs to update istat pro this is just a heads up

    You may want to read this wikipedia entry on Fahrenheit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit
    Please note the spelling and the fact that both Fahrenheit and Celsius are temperature scales. "Fahrenheit Celsius" makes no sense.
    Now to your situation: iStat Pro works fine with my MBA (HD version). You may want to ensure you are running the latest iStat version for Leopard, or try reinstalling it.

  • IStat Pro, SMC fan control and tempuratures

    I've been watching the recent temp. problem threads with great interest.
    My Imac has had no operational flaws *knock wood* but I'm a bit concerned with the temps which iStat Pro is reporting. For instance;
    CPU A 103 F.
    CPU diode 133 F.
    Ambient 79 F.
    Memory Control 112 F.
    HD Bay 1 103 F.
    Optical Drive 94 F.
    WDC WD1600 etc etc, (the hard drive I presume), 99 F.
    Most of these temps seem pretty darned high to me. OR, am I mistaken and they are not out of line?
    Running SMC fan control at about 1/2 way up on all 3 sliders brings these temps down considerably, but I hate to "over rev" the fans and hasten their demise if I don't have to.
    I'll appreciate your thoughts.
    Thanks; Jon

    Your temps seem low to me but i have no data on what is low or too high
    20" iMac 2.4 GHz-2 GB Intel:

  • Istat pro exhuast fan reading 0rpm

    I have a 13 inch MacBook that I got in 2011, not an Air or a Pro. But by fan was making a strange noise (starting just two days ago) it was almost like a purring, but I was sure that it was my fan. About three hours ago I opened it up and it wasn't making the noise anymore so I was concerned  as to whether or not my fan was working at all. So I downloaded Istat pro, and in the fans category, it has one spot for the exhaust which reads 0rpm. I started freaking out, thinking that my fan has failed, but for the past few hours now the temp of the CPU and pretty much everything else has stayed between 30 and 55 degrees Celcius? I kind of freaking out here, because I don't know what this means.
    Any tips, comments, suggestions are appreciated!
    (My battery does need to be replaced, if that info helps any.)

    Run the Apple hardware test to see if it shows any sensor or hardware issues.  When prompted, run the extended test, which can take over an hour to run.

  • Anyone know where to get istat pro?

    I would like to keep an eye on my memory on my macbook and I saw a youtube video about a widget called istat pro and was wondering where is the best and safest place to download it from? Everywhere I have tried will not load so I was wondering if anyone knows anywhere I can download it from?

    iStat Pro 4.92 or iStat Menus 4.06.

  • How to view iStat Pro info

    I installed iStat Pro as a widget but when I open it the temps section only shows a few of the possible readings. How can I get it to expand so that I can view all of the memory module temps? I've looked around in settings and looked at the manual but it doesn't say how to make the view show more information. Thanks for any advice.

    Click on the small i on the left hand side and then click on the display tab. Choose what you want displayed and then click done.

  • Where I can download istat pro widget?

    where I can download istat pro widget? Because it doesn't work with apple.com.

    Glad to see it was the right link and sorry I am late in replying.   Something wrong with notifications tonight; half of them have not come through.   That GPU diode reading is almost double mine but not too serious.   Here is some reading that may be more helpful than mere comments.

  • IStat Pro location (not in widgets) under Mountain Lion?

    I like and use iStat Pro.  Under Mountain Lion the Processes no longer show up.
    I contacted Bjango for support and they sent me an email stating that they are discontinuing iStat Pro.
    I found a simple fix at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=15332289&postcount=20
    My problem is that I cannot locate the code to change.  My Macintosh HD/Library/Widgets has no istat pro.  I tried Spotlight and the only istat pro that shows is the download istat_pro_4.92.zip.  Is my spotlight broken? thx

    Every User has and has always had a Library folder. When Lion came out, Apple decided to have it hidden because some very important files are in there and if you don't know what you are doing, you could really mess things up. If someone directs you to "/Library" or "/Macintosh HD/Library" they mean the (not hidden) system library folder. If they say "~/Library" they mean the hidden User Library folder.
    Not sure how to make spotlight search the hidden folder. You can unhide it permanently by entering this command into terminal:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    After you do this, the Library folder will appear in your home folder.

  • Can not see TC hard driver using istat pro or activity monitor

    I upgraded the firmware of TC to 7.4.1 yesterday, but I found the transfer speed was too slow and I noticed that I can not see the TC condition using istat pro or activity monitor. So I downgraded the firmware to 7.3.2. Now the transfer speed is fine but I still can not see the TC hard driver in the istat pro or activity monitor.(but I can access files in the TC hard driver normally)
    Can anyone help?

    I couldn't see my TC hard drive in iStat pro until I actually mounted the TC's Airport Disk using the Finder 'Connect to server' dialog. iStat Pro only gives me Used and Free GB for my Airport Disk. My TC is an old 500GB upgraded to 1TB running 7.4.2 firmware.
    As to checking the temperature, I'd be interested too. I have a digital thermometer taped to the top surface of the TC and it is reading 46C with an ambient of 17C. The TC sits on top of a cupboard with clear space around, and I am resting it on a spacer which lifts it 12mm clear of the cupboard to give it the best ventilation. The TC has been doing a long (08:00 - 21:00) Time Machine backup today.

  • Widget-iStat pro 3.0 beta 1

    I downloaded the new version of istat pro earlier today, and it worked fine………………………for an hour! then it crashed, I reinstalled it, and it crashed again! I tried deleting it and downloading the prgram again, the same thing!!! I glanced at my system monitor after that, and noticed that it was running at full precceser power, but I had nothing running that would use that much power, when I looked closer I saw that istat pro 3.0 beta 1 was using 75% of my pc's power, even though it had crashed a few minutes ago, and supposedly wasn't running anymore, I force quit, and now here I am wondering if anyone else has had any problem with this, or other iSlayer widgets.
    I used istat pro (2, not 3) for almost half a year without problems, and this new version looked awesome, but it doesn't work.
    Any thoughts would be appreacaited.

    Hi, mountainbike8.
    You wrote: "Any thoughts would be appreacaited."Report the problem you experienced to the author of the widget.
    As you stated it is a "beta" release, which means that the developer knows all the bugs are not yet worked out. When you install "beta" code, you're playing Test Pilot.
    Then reinstall the previous version and wait for the "beta" to be removed from version 3.0.
    Good luck!

  • How do you update iStat Pro to the Snow Leopard version?

    Went from 10.5.8 to 10.6.1 - do i need to do anything to iStat Pro?
    Thanks.

    Only with iStatMenus or MenuMeters. You will need to download the updates for them. iStat Pro is a widget so it still works with Snow.
