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.

  • 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.

  • HT1918 how do you know what computers are authorized to use home share before i delete a computer

    how do you know what computers are authorzed to use an I tune account?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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 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 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 do I know what programs I can quit in the activity monitor?

    I use a macbook 13in and run lion.  Last night, I checked out the actiivty monitor and there were programs/files(?) I didn't recognize.  I understand that some of these are important and quitting them may cause problems.  How do I know what programs I can quit?  Thanks for the help!

    HellO:
    IMHO, you should not quit anything.  In fact, looking at the activity monitor if nothing is wrong is, IMHO, a waste of time.

  • How do you change what programs open on starting up?

    How do you change what programs open on start up?

    By changing the list of login items for your user account in System Preferences, and if Lion is automatically reopening applications, which ones are running when the computer is shut down.

  • How do you know what view is available to a form?

    A customer requirement that we set the a firstlogin attribute on the on one of the resources the first time a user logs into the IDM end user interface, changes their password, and provides answers for their authentication questions. The way I know that a person has done this, it that they are displayed the "End User Menu"
    The problem is the accounts portion of the User view is not accessible from the End User Menu. I put the same code in the End User Form and it works.
    Is there a way for me to access resource attributes from this form?
    Is this the incorrect approach to solving this problem?
    How do you know what view is available to a form?

    Thanks, that was my problem originally. When using a fieldref I had to set the base context to variables.user i.e.
    baseContext=':variables.user'
    And in workflow I had to preface variable names with the name of the object I checked the view out into.
    What I really wanted to know how to have multiple views open in a form if possible. I'd like to be able to manipulate user and role objects in the same form when editing users in a specific org.

  • How do you know what classes to use ?

    Hello,
    This may sound daft - but how do you know what classes to use to do a particular task ? For example to do password-related stuff - how would I know which classes are all relevant to that ? Am I supposed to buy a book on the classes as the API documentation doesn't really tell you WHEN to use which classes.

    If you're using JSP, then your password field is likely going to be implemented in HTML. So that's nothing to do with Java. (And you can't use a JPassword field in a JSP page.) But when that field comes back to your server, you may be using Java to authenticate it. Even there, the question is not yet what Java method you are going to use, but what methodology. You could have a database to authenticate against, or an LDAP directory. Or you could have the web server use its built-in authentication, which means you don't have to do any Java coding at all. And there are other ways.
    So the question before yours is, how do you know what methodology to use? Again, that comes down to experience.

  • 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.

  • How can I tell if programs are running in the background.

    iPod touch version 4.2.1, how can I tell if programs are running in the background.  Battery is dead quickly and time/date reverts to Dec 31, 1969.  can see thin silver frame around screen like something is running in background.

    You really can't tell unless you hear music or similar. Many are always listening for notifications and other things.
    To preserve battery life see the following:
    Apple - Batteries - iPod
    I leave mine in airplane mode when sleeping.

  • How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive?

    How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive without starting that drive
    and seeing the system profiler? In fact, because the drive wont start up, Now I am wondering if it is pre-intel. ? CMD-I doesn't do it. Thanks

    Why mess with this? Well, I got the HDDs and the enclosure from my previous PPC, so I'd like to make use of it all without $pending again.
    I don't see any problems with using the card and drives on your new Mac. Hardware is too pricey to just leave behind if you can't help it. With the new drivers I suspect you'll be able to use your drives, I just don't think you'll be able to boot from them if the interface card requires drivers. They should still be very fast storage devices, and probably reliable due to the ongoing support the vendor has provided.
    I went through the same type of issue when I bought my Dual G4 1.42 Tower (upgraded from a Quadra 840AV ). Several of my devices were SCSI (I was into SCSI Wide/Fast drive arrays at the time for video capture), and I was able to use an Adaptec card for scanning for several years with Jaguar and Panther. I'd spent quite a bit of cash to ensure high quality and performance and didn't want to loose all of the investment. Eventually the SATA hard drives and other USB and Firewire replacements became so cheap and performance improved enough that loosing SCSI with Tiger was not a big deal. I do think I should get about 5 years of hardware compatibility with most products and I keep older Mac's around for dedicated services as long as they aren't a costly maintenance issue.
