How do I determine what processes are running?

I'd like to determine what processes are running on my iMac running Mtn Lion.  Is there an analog to Windows Task Manager?

Open the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder.

  • Unable to shut down imac. dialogue - The Finder can't quit because some operations are still in progress. How do I determine what operations are still running?

    I have an iMac (Mid 2007) Intel with Mac OS Lion 10.7.4  For some reason I am unable to shut down my computer.  The dialogue box says The Finder can’t quit because some operations are still in progress. How do I determine what operations are still running?  I have no clue?  Obviously not a sophisticated user.

    Thank You!  Solved my problem.  Have a great week.

    How can I determine what computers are home sharing??

    Launch iTunes on the computers you're interested in. Check in the "Advanced" menu.
    If "Turn on Home Sharing" is listed as an option, the iTunes library that you have open is not Home Sharing.
    If "Turn off Home Sharing ([accountname]) is listed as an option, the iTunes library that you have open is Home Sharing.

  • How can I determine which jobs are running on NT?

    Hello,
    How do I determine which processes are in execution on an NT box from a JAVA
    application? I figure it must involve runtime exec'ing some run32dll
    program, but which one?
    TIA

    Search microsoft.com, or MSDN. That isn't anything to do with Java Programming.

  • How do i see what applications are running in the background

    My iMac is running very slow my operating system is OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor. How do I see what applications are running in the background?

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the 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.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    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

  • I just got an IPAD2 on Saturday.  With the Mac, I could always tell when programs were open/running by going to the menu bar.  How can I tell what programs are running in the background.  I am struggling with not being able to go to a menu bar at the top

    You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.
    If you haven't already got a copy then you can download the iPad manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

  • How do you determine what shows are in free video on demand?

    How do you determine what to include in the free on-demand shows?  The Mentalist was always there before but is no longer.  This is especially important for shows like the Mentalist and The Good Wife which come on Sunday nights after sports events.  Even if I set my DVR to record 60 minutes over it doesn't always catch the entire episode.  Would also like to see Person of Interest  there.   And last but not least, you should have a way for people to access netflix or other services from your service.  

    If you go to BROWSE then the FREE folder you will find that everything in there is free viewing. If you go elsewhere and try to watch a paid show, you will get a prompt asking you to purchase. It also shows the amount of the movie before purchase.

  • How do I determine what xtras are needed?

    From the searching I have done it appears that xtras equired are mostly trial-and-error.
    Is there an efficient way to determine what xtras are needed for each lindividual movie?
    My programs are divided into a series of sequential movies.  At the end of each movie
    there is a goto statement to launch the next movie.  Does that require me to determine
    xtras for each separate movie? 
    In a perfect world there would be a way for Director to search a  folder for and present an aggregate list of all xtras required for that set of movies.
    If no such method exists, what is the recommended hunt and peck system?

    Thanks for the response, rduane.  But I refer to the procedures as a bit random for the reasons you mentioned in your explanation.  For example, you stated that, "Director will normally add all of the Xtras that you need to each movie as you build it".  And, yes, I know that it does add some automatically.  But, if Director really does "add all of the xtras that you need to each movie as it is built", how could I ever jump to one that is missing a needed xtra?  If it needs it, why wasn't it added when it was built?
    So, that's the reason I mentioned "trial and error", and "hunt and peck".  The system is not reliable in its handling of xtras, or which ones are needed where.  I am familiar with workarounds such as going to each movie and selecting Modify>Movies>Xtras to see which ones Director has added,  But that is all it tells you.  It does not tell you if it has added all the xtras "needed".  And when the error message comes up, it does name the missing xtra, but not which movie needs it.  So, one has to go find the named xtra and copy it over to the Xtras folder. 
    At least, that's what I do to fix it.  But I asked the question because I wanted to know if Xtras handling itself is unreliable, or if I'm doing something incorrectly.

  • How can I determine what sites are being referenced within Central Admin Upgrade and Migration Manage Databases Upgrade Status?

    When I go to Central Admin > Upgrade and Migration  > Manage Databases Upgrade Status, I have 2 content databases which have the status:
    Database is up to date, but some sites are not completely upgraded.
    How can I determine which sites are not completely upgraded?

    Manage Databases Upgrade Status will provide you all active and offline DB details, you can get same result
    using below PowerShell cmdlet.
    Get-SPDatabase and Get-SPContentDatabase will provide all active database/Content DB in Farm which include Service application db, central admin DB.
    Get-SPDatabase | Format-Table Name, ID
    Coming back to your question, if you find that there are some site are not completely upgraded then run below command and understand the cause if issue on specific DB.
    Test-SPContentDatabase WSS_ContentDB_Name
    If you find any missing file issue in DB then resolve these issue to upgrade content database.
    (verify all customizations referenced within the content database are also installed in the web application. This cmdlet can be issued
    against a content database currently attached to the farm, or a content database that is not connected to the farm )
    Use the Upgrade-SPContentDatabase cmdlet
    to resume a failed database upgrade or begin a build-to-build database upgrade against a SharePoint content database
    Upgrade-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content

  • HT1918 how do you determine what devices are set up under homesharing

  • How do I determine what applications are communicating using SMB?

    I would like to try to determine if there is a way to determine what applications are using SMB to communicate to the network. Any thoughts?

    Thanks Kurt. We are attempting to find the cause of the notorious two-minute spinning beachball delay. Not sure if you are aware of this problem, but it holds up Finder, Adobe InDeisgn, and other applications for two minutes while it is waiting for a response from a windows server. It shows in the log as:
    1/4/12 3:29:25 PM
    kernel
    smb_iod_sendall: Timed out waiting on the response for 0xa0 mid = 0x3b
    Very frustrating. While Lion seems to have fixed the issue for some users, EMC is telling us that Lion will not play nice with the Celerra share we use.

  • How can I determine what computers are authorized on my iTunes account?

    How can I determine what computers have been authorized on my iTunes account?  I've reached my limit and now I'd like to deauthorize one computer.
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    There is no list.
    You can only deauthorize a single computer from that computer.
    If you do not have access to the computers, then you would have to deauthorize all.

  • How can I know what apps are running in the background of Q10

    My battery is not lasting more than 12 hours even though I'm moderately using it. How can I tell which applications are running in the background?

    As of now, the BB10 does not allow any apps to run in the background unless they are baked in the OS or in the active frames. So if an app is not in a active frame, no app is running in the background. try maximizing your battery by switching to wif whenever you have a wifi network.

  • How do I determine what commands are associated to Priv 2 - 14

    I don't want to create Command Authorisation sets just used a priv level. I'm having trouble determining what commands are assigned to what priv level?

    By default, there are three command levels on the router:
    privilege level 0 - Includes the disable, enable, exit, help, and logout commands.
    privilege level 1 - Normal level on Telnet; includes all user-level commands at the router> prompt.
    privilege level 15 - Includes all enable-level commands at the router# prompt
    Commands at level 2-14 are blank by default BUT you always have access to all commands at your level and below so if you are at level 4 you have access to commands at levels 0 and 1
    Hope that helps, rate if it does

  • How do I determine what mointors are applied to an Agent

    I am a powershell novice but my powershell knowledge is much better than my sql knowledge.
    I am repeatedly asked, what are you monitoring on that server or this server or that group of servers? I would really like to have a relatively quick way of answering that without having to go thru the rules that the group has written, and check those against
    the server groups and come up with an answer.
    We are running SCOM 2012 SP1. I did find 2 refs (which I can't post until they verify my account)
    One is from Stefan Stranger ( a 2007 script) one is from Technet (List All Monitors and Rules per Group of Servers) and the 3rd deals with export-scomeffectivemonitoringconfiguration.
    With the first two, I am not yet skilled enough to convert that to Scom 2012. With the last one, even the example fails when I try and run it, even when removing the } that errors at the end.
    Has anyone else set something up using powershell to determine this in a Scom 2012 environment?
    Thanks
