How do I delete a "monitor" that I don't use, but that still shows up in Spaces?, How do I delete a "monitor" that I don't use, but that still shows up in Spaces?

I used to have a monitor set up, but no longer use it. However it still shows up when I activate Spaces and is very frustrating. I think I may need to go to the Genius Bar on this one. Thanks

Why do graphics and colors that appear on the monitor show up as blank spaces when printed out

Graphics (especially color) on emails and attachments show up as BLANK spaces when printed out.
Also, some color graphics and detail work of those graphics on familiar websites do not show up on my monitor
Both of these situations DO NOT occur on Explorer. With that browser - everything is OK

it may have worked, but gimping my system isn't exactly a solution, more of a band-aid.
its the equivalent of the old
patient says, " its hurts when i do *this* "
doctor replies," well, don't do that "
What do you mean "it may have worked" – did it or did it not?
Anyway it is not a remedy but diagnostics and if it makes a difference it points at the GPU driver as a likely culprit.

I have a teenager that has learned how to delete his history, is there a way to lock the history to where I can monitor the sites he visits without setting up parental control program on the computer?

Use security software or a router with a build-in password protected logging feature if you want to keep a record of visited websites. 
You can't prevent people from deleting the history and other personal (private) data in Firefox and a log elsewhere will always work even if other browser would be used.

How do I delete photos from my daughter's ipod that showed up on there when she got music from her aunt's itunes? Also how do I make sure none of my iphone pics show up on her ipod in the future (we use the same itunes account and I think same icloud).

I'm totally new to iphone/ipod. I need help with the following:
1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes? After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option. Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution. But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
I only want to share music between our devices. I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
Thank you!

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.

- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

Getting messages "startup disk is full" and activity monitor is showing "syslog d" is using a lot of CPU. I'm planning on getting more memory for my late 2008 model Macbook but wondering if there's something that is causing problems that I can also fix.

I had closed out of all of my programs but heard the internal fans running so I checked the activity monitor. It shows syslog d as the top process using the CPU right now. I have no idea what that means.
I read a thread about the startup disk being full and how you can free up memory. I have an airport extreme so TimeCapsule is backing up everything. I do have a bunch of pictures on iPhoto on the laptop; could move those to another location but I'm a little gunshy. I know they are on the TimeCapsule but I would like to save them to a second place before deleting from laptop just to be sure. I went through several things yesterday and emptied trash, etc. I wasn't able to locate the hidden files that the thread about the startup disk being full was referencing --- they were talking about large emails that were causing processes to happen taking up the CPU.... I wasn't able to find out if that was the case for me.
Also I'm going to look into getting another 2MB of memory and installing it on the Macbook, so I can upgrade to the latest OS. Anyone have an idea if that is worth the $$$ over buying a new laptop? Or anyone have ideas as to where to buy memory, etc.
Any ideas - help!

Activity Monitor shows very little free space. Help?

I am wanting to do Photoshop Creative Suite 6 on my MacBook Pro and everything is running SO SLOW! I have opened the Activity Monitor to check things out. I am not a computer expert at all, so I have included some information below in hopes that this will help dissect the problem.
It seems to me that the following numbers are high and I am wondering if I can TRASH anything that is taking up too much space? What programs on my MacBook Pro are taking up SO MUCH space? When I open my computer, I only start running FireFox and Entourage. Should I get rid of other icons in my dock that are not running? By being on the dock, does this use RAM?
I had a lot of pictures on iphoto and I moved them all to an external hard drive.
I have emptied the iphoto trash and double-clicked the actual trash can to delete everything!
I don't have any third party software on my computer. I have heard that this can be bad, so I don't have any of that.
I did purchase Mac Cleaner (or something similar) several years ago, and it caused MAJOR problems on my computer. I had to start from scratch and set up everything again with the help of a great MAC products person on the phone. I want to TRASH anything that is taking up extra space (cashe) but I don't want to buy a third party "MAC Cleaning" product.
I have a Mid- 2009 MacBook Pro
Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Software: OSX 10.8.5
It also shows in the "About the Mac" that L2 Cache is 3 MB. This seems high for the cashe. Can this be cleaned up somehow?
I realize that the following numbers fluctuate, but gave the "ballpark" numbers as they are coming up now.
The GREEN portion of the "pie" is almost non-existent. The % User fluctuates between 5.00 and 8.00. The RED % System is at about 2.50. The Black % Idle fluctuates between 80.00 and 90.00.

Since your computer is five years old there is no warranty to negate. If if there were, replacing the RAM in a MacBook Pro would not void the warrantly. If you update the RAM, keep the old RAM just in case.
The new RAM is a $100 investment. Compare that to a Retina MBP with 8 GB of RAM for $1,400 (128 GB SSD) or $1,500 (256 GB SSD). Your choice.
Take a look at the free tutorial at http://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook on replacing RAM in your MBP to see if you think it is easy enough for you. I expect you will.
On a 2009 MacBook (not Pro) I recently upgraded the RAM to 8 GB and the disk to an SSD and it improved the boot time and application start times dramatically. Now it runs most things as fast as my MacBook Air. It even boots faster than my MBA. That was about a $200 investment. So I my expereince is it is worth updating older Macs.
Rather than installiing an expensive SSD, you can boost the speed of the disk dramatically to SSD-like speeds for about $110.
I am referring to the Seagate 1T Hybrid SSHD 2.5” drive selling for about $110 on Amazon. It includes an 8 GB SSD cache that really speeds up your I/O and with 1 TB of storage you should never run out of disk space.
It is fairly easy to replace the disk yourself, especially if you purchase the following inexpensive kits:
Toolkit: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TOOLKITMHD/ (referenced above)
USB 2.0 disk enclosure: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/ES2.5BPU2S/
Again, go to ifixit.com for a tutoral on replacing the disk.
Porting the data is easy:
Install the new drive in the external enclosure.
Boot the Recovery Partition (Boot then hold down Command and R simultaneously).
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
(If your system came with installation disks, boot from them.)
Use the Disk Utility Partition tab to format the drive Mac OS Extended (journaled) with a GUID partition.
Disk Utility > Partition > Partiton Layout: Singe Partition > Options… > GUID Partition Table > OK > Name: Macintosh HD2 > Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled) > Apply >
Erase tab > Name: Macintosh HD2 > Security Options… > single pass of zeroes > OK > Erase…
(Wait, this will take a long time.)
Clone the existing drive onto the new one:
Disk Utility > Restore > Source "Macintosh HD” or whatever the old system disk is named.
> Destination: “Macintosh HD2” or whatever you named it.
> Restore
(Wait. This well take some time.)
Physically swap the two drives using the tutorial above.
Boot normally.
Save the old disk as an archived backup until you are sure you don’t need it.
Be sure to backup your system before any software updates or hardware upgrades.

How to monitor available disk space in archive directory

I need to monitor the available disk space of the archive directory during a long running PL/SQL program which does a lot of inserts and updates. This program is running in a background session and should regularly check for the available space. If there is less then a customizable number of MBs free the program must terminate itself. How can I access this information from the file system? (I'm using 8.1.6 and the application will run on both AIX and NT)

The directory itself is not taking space (It actually does but in most cases you can neglect its size). It is files that it has that take space. Also, the more files you create the more space gets allocates from the media that holds them. And the last, the media (Hard Drive, Floppy, or other) has free space, not directory. That is how all OS's that I know about work.

How do you drop a publication that is gone from SSMS but shows up in replication monitor? Here's what I've tried...

Hello,
I had two test databases on one server that I had been experimenting with for transactional replication. I wanted to delete the publication from one database and the subscription from the other and finally delete both databases. I deleted
the publication, the subscription , the jobs related to them and finally the databases. I must confess that i wasn't as careful as I would be if I hadn't planned on just deleting everything. So what I have now is nothing appearing in SSMS under
local publications or local subscriptions for these two test databases (but pubs and subs for other useful things) but in replication monitor the publication shows up with a red x.
I cannot use sp_droppublication @publication='my pub name' because the publication database is gone. Can I do anything to remove this publication from replication monitor? This isn't a production server yet it has some users who would be
severely inconvenienced if I have to drop all replication and rebuild. Is there any other way?
Thanks.

Hi, I had a similar case, apply the EXEC sp_removedbreplication, but in the replication monitor even the replication was visualized with a red x, which caused me a false alarm.
The records MSreplication_monitordata table can not be deleted manually, it is only a guide for the monitor replication, because that's what I understood also try removing your records, but had no success.
Reaches a point where I thought I had to recreate all replications, but I found a solution.
Guide me in that table (MSreplication_monitordata), to search for agents publisher that had not been removed (eg DB: SDCGHJ), then search these agents and items in the tables: MSdistribution_agents, MSsnapshot_agents, MSlogreader_agents; located in the distribution
database and delete records that made reference to publisher_db SDCGHJ, delete jobs that they made reference to the publication eliminated.
With these steps the publication is no longer displayed on the monitor replication and "red x" stop appearing.
I hope it is of your utility.

How do I delete a process that's running in the background?

A process called "tunmgr" is using up 99% of my cpu causing my macbook air to overheat (and the fan(?) to be really loud). I've searched about the process/file and a few websites basically just says that it is a Blackberry app(?) and that it hasn't been confirmed (yet) to be harmful.
I've already deleted the blackberry desktop manager on my computer as I've recently switched to iPhone. Is it safe for me to delete "tunmgr" and how do I do that?
Every time I notice my computer overheating, I had to keep going to Activity Monitor to force quit the process/file.

I had the same problem and researched it. The tunmgr is essentially a bug that spawns a looped process due to checking the "Open Blackberry Link when a device is connected" in Blackberry Link. To stop the process, open Blackberry Link -->> Preferences (not in the main menu, the gear in the top right corner) -->> uncheck "Open Blackberry Link when a device is connected". Then restart and it should be back to normal.
ps - thanks for fixing this Blackberry!

[High level of difficulty] how to change the monitor display in the space of a full screen application

Hello everybody,
I have an application which when opening creates a personal space (I can get back to the desktop with F3).
But this application changes the display of my monitor : it sets "Adobe RGB 1998" (very painful)
The problem is : totaly impossible to change display monitor when i'm in the personnal space of the application.
How to open the monitor control panel when I'm in that space?
If i do F3 to come back on my desktop, the color of my display monitor return to LCD color, it's nice. However it's impossible to keep the LCD display when i come back on the application : "Adobe RGB 1998" comes automatically

Sounds like the application is the problem. What application is it?

Newbie question: how to monitor cluster disk drive free space

ok folks, it is a really painful process for me to use SCOM2007R2 and I figure it might be easier if I start to ask concrete questions.
1. I have a cluster server and I know some drives have only 10MB and they are not changing at all as I fixed them. How can I use Monitor/Rules so that I could receive Alert? I was told by our admin that SCOM only got triggered if status got changed
In my case, since the drive space will never get changed (fixed to 10MB left), I will never receive alert???
cheers
--Currently using Reporting Service 2000; Visual Studio .NET 2003; Visual Source Safe SSIS 2008 SSAS 2008, SVN --

"Logical disk free space" is the monitor that will be monitoring this.
Yes, SCOM will send alerts only when the Mbytes and % values of the free space ; mentioned in the monitor are met. You can configure this monitor by setting up correct Mbytes and % values to change the state of this monitor and thereafter you
will receive the alerts from this monitor.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, S K Agrawal

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors? Please bring Spaces back

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors. With Spaces I could treat each space as a single desktop.
SyBB

I use two monitors at work and have no issue. I have my mail set to use Desktop 1 and iTunes set to the second monitor of Desktop 1. I have browsers set to Desktop 2 and Fusion and RDC set to Desktop 3.
Two things that may help you. In System Preferences > Mission Control, disable the setting "Automatically rearrange spaces...". This screwed with assigning applications to certain spaces. And the other thing is don't use full screen on apps that support it. This just makes your second monitor superfluous.

I compressed Activity Monitor and deleted the compressed file in error. How do I get it back?

In trying to reduce my CPU load, I compressed the Activity Monitor. Before I can use the compressed file, I mistakenly deleted it and now when I try to open it, I get the dreaded spinning wheel. After a long wait, I forced quit.
What happened and how do I get Activity Monitor back?

Never tamper with programs which come with the system. You could try downloading and applying the 'combo updater':
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
However this won't help if Activity Monitor hasn't been updated since the initial release, which may well be the case. In that event you will need to reinstall Snow Leopard from your original install disks and then apply the combo updater again.
Alternatively it may be possible to extract Activity Monitor from the installed disk by using Pacifist - no promises about that.
