How do I know both processors are running?

From the topic heading....it sounds pretty simple. I generally use the Activity Monitor that displays a floating CPU window. Usually, it has two bars showing the load on both processors. I recently have issues with the 'G5 deep sleep'...and after the first instance of that, I hard booted and opened up the Activity Monitor. But now it only shows one bar for one processor. It has me a little worried. I downloaded iStat and it only shows temperature for processor A...no temps or processor B. Any other apps out there that I can use to confirm both my processors are OK?
Nero

Hi-
Activity monitor is a pretty good indicator of what resources are being utilized.
I don't think you need any more applications, unless you don't have the Apple Hardware Test.
I would find your original install discs and see what the AHT says.
Might also check your System Preferences/Energy Saver/Options/Processor Performance settings

  • 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 you know what programs are running?

    Is there any way to tell from the Dock which programs are running? In Tiger there use to be a little black arrow underneath the app. What's changed in Leopard?

    The default Leopard Dock indicators are a bit difficult to see with the light background and 3D glass effect. If you would like to have a different look then go to http://www.leoparddocks.com/ I'm using the "Revamped" design.

  • How do you know if you are running from external drive or internal

    I just started using CCC and have cloned my HD to the external. I shutdown and then power up holding down the on button. It gives me the option to boot from the HD or the external. I select external and it boots. But how do I really know that the computer is operating from the external.
    Is there a place to look and see which drive is actually being used to operate the computer ?
    Regards.

    If you launch Disk Utility and select a volume on a drive, then click the First Aid tab, you'll notice that the button for the option to Repair Disk is active for all volumes you choose EXCEPT the startup drive, where the button is greyed out. The startup drive can only have Verify Disk run on it, since in order to Repair Disk the volume must be unmounted, and you can't unmount the startup volume.
    Oh, and I like the change in Leopard which allows me to put drive icons wherever I want them on the Desktop and they stay there. Hope Apple doesn't go back to the old behavior.....

  • How to know what reports are running by looking at SSReproting Services to see what reports are running and also any clue of which application is using the reporting services?

    How to know what reports are running by looking at SSReproting Services to see what reports are running and also any clue of which application is using the reporting services?

    To see what reports are running, take a look at the execution log views that are available in the database.  Which views that are available are dependent on your version of SSRS.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159110.aspx
    To see which application is using SSRS is a little more difficult.  You can turn HTTP logging on, which will give you an idea of where connections are coming from, so you can see IP addresses.  You can also look at the execution log view to see
    user accounts.  So, depending on your environment and use of service accounts, this could be easy, or difficult.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb630443.aspx
    If all else fails you can look for clues in the SSRS logs.  Good luck...

  • How can I know which clients are connected to my network through express and which are connected through extreme?

    I have an airport express extending, through wireless, a network provided by an airport extreme. How can I know which clients are connected to my network through express and which are connected through extreme?
    Here you can see both routers:
    I would expect to some clients connected to the express, other than the extreme. And that's all I see: only the airport extreme appears as client of the airport express.
    Below, one can see the summary of the config for both routers.
    Would somebody explain it?
    Thanks,

  • How do I know if I can run a game?

    Hi, I know a Mac isn't ideal for gaming. I dont want answers back saying im an idiot for buying a mac for gaming, because that isnt the case. I just want to know what I am compatible of running though. I know there is the Can I Run it site, but I am not sure if that is always reliable.  ALSO I WILL BE RUNNING WINDOWS 8 VIA BOOTCAMP.
    So, by looking at my cpu and gpu, and looking at the requirements for a game, how do i know if i can run it? I would appreciate it if you can tell me if this example will work, but how does the average person know if it will work, by comparing the specs?
    My specs:
    MacBook Pro (Mid-2012)
    RAM: 8GB
    CPU:2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz) with 6MB L3 cache
    GPU:Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB & NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
    Here is the game:
    Batman Arkham Origins (recommended settings)
    RAM: 4GB
    CPU: Core i5-750 Quad 2.66GHz
    GPU:GeForce GTX 560
    Also, if I meet the minimum requirements for the gpu, but far exceed with the cpu and ram, what does that mean?
    And... If one of my graphics cards is 1024MB, does that mean I can run games that require that much memory on the gpu? Even though i know the geforce I have is better.
    I am just very confused, someone please clarify, I would really appreciate it.

  • 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
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Software update on iMac. Trying to update software I get message "an error has occurred. the request has been timed out" how do i know if there are updates?

    Am trying to update software through "Software Update" on my iMac (latest Lion operating system).
    I keep getting message "An error has occurred. The request timed out"
    How do I know if there are software dates available to down load.
    Ernie

    Two things, bushmanernie (love the name)
    First what version of Lion are you running and have you downloaded any Combo updates since you installed it.
    Second; I see you only have 10.6.2 in your profile.   You might like to update it.
    I don't have Lion myself but I'm guessing you don't have the very latest version.  You can check what should be available through the opening Apple support page > downloads.

    I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
    THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
    Help!

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

    There is no way to view a list of authorised computers. You can only tell a computer is authorised from that computer itself, from the store menu in iTunes.

    How do I close apps that are running in the background.  You used to double press the button, and then press and hold to allow the "x" to come up, so you could close them down.

    Close all apps in multi-task window
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen
