Does anyone know of an API that can gain access to system resource info?

I wish to include cpu and memory usage monitors in an application but i don't know any way of obtaining that info.
Does any one know a way of doing it?

Under linux or (I think) solaris, you could use the /proc filesystem. It's just a bunch of fake text files,
and you can read them like any other file.
If you're going for portability to windows best of luck.

You'll need an external editor for that kind of work.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
Comic Life 2 (http://plasq.com/products/comiclife2)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

That's only for the iPhone 5. On the 4 and 4S, they can repair the back glass in store for $30. They will not replace the display on a 4 or 4S. They must replace the entire phone. Replacing the display on them requires disassembling the entire phone, which they will not do in store.

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

Does anyone know if iWork for iOS can be used on both iPhone 4S and iPad 2? If I bought Pages, say, could I use it on both devices? Thanks

It is the same version. So the iWork package will work on both, but Siri will only work on the iPhone 4S. So you could dictate on that, and use iCloud to finish the document on your iPad (assuming you have both). Cheers

My ipod crashes anytime i tap on music or video, does anyone know how to fix that problem???

When I use it on my laptop there is no problem the songs and videos are there but when i use the ipod directly they just don't appear... :S

It sounds like the iPod has a software issue. I would try the following troubleshooting tips:
1. Reset the iPod: reset the iPod by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds until the screen goes black then shows the Apple logo.
2. Make sure the iPod is on the latest version of the software, if it's not then update it.
3. If the iPod is on the latest version of the software or the software update didn't resolve your issue then restore the ipod to factory settings, which will put a new version of the system software on your iPod.

Hope this helps!

Does anyone know about a company that will hold an itunes library.

Help ! Relationship with significant other has gone south. I would like to get his itunes library off of my computer and put put in somewhere he can access it on a regular. Does anyone know of a company that will hold his library ? I don't want to be evil but 5000 songs is alot to lose

I don't know of any such facility (although someone else may), but can't you burn all these songs to a few CDs or better still to a few DVDs (they hold much more info) and give them to him?
He then has a permanent back up and you get to delete all of them from your computer.
Not a viable solution?

Hi, I have purchased an audio book on iTunes from an iMac and it does not show up on the cloud so I can't download it on my iPhone. Does anyone know why and how I can proceed to transfer the audio book purchase?

Hi
I have purchased an audio book from iTunes with my iMac.
Now I wanted to listen to it on my iPhone so I proceeded to transfer the purchase and looked for the book in the purchased section of the store in the iTunes on my iPhone but it did not show up.
Does anyone know why and how I can transfer the audio book purchased on my iPhone so I can listen while away from the desk?
Thank you,
Sanya

Can you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books.

I have a Windows copy of Photoshop Elements 11, but the serial number has been lost. I didn't buy the product and I am unable to find the box. As far as I know, it's never been used so has not been registered. Does anyone know how the serial number can be

I have a Windows copy of Photoshop Elements 11, but the serial number has been lost. I didn't buy the product and I am unable to find the box. As far as I know, it's never been used so has not been registered. Does anyone know how the serial number can be recovered under these circumstances?

If you never bought the product then you cannot get the serial number.

Does anyone know how many devices one can have on one apple ID?

Does anyone know how many devices one can have on one apple ID?

The names are for your benefit. The devices are identified by serial number in iTunes. iTunes knows which device is which no matter what you name the devices. It works the same way with iCloud. You can name all three devices Fred - and iTunes can tell them apart - but like I said, you want to give them different names for your benefit.

HT1296 My daughter has an Ipod touch 3.1.3. I know it's old but she doesn't need it for much more than games and music. Does anyone know how or if I can update the Ipod 3.1.3 or is it too old? Thanks!

My daughter has an Ipod touch 3.1.3. I know it's old but she doesn't use it for anything except games and music. Does anyone know how or if I can update this device or is it just too old?
THanks!

A first generation iPod touch can't be updated past 3.1.3. If it's a newer model, update it from iTunes on a computer, and if possible, the one it normally syncs with.
