How to get Activity Monitor to show processes running on one specific drive

I clone my main drive to two cloned drives. From the clones I normally, without any problem, run both Repair Disk from the Apple Disk Utility, and a maintenance program from Disk Warrior. Now, however, neither of these utility programs are able to unmount my main drive. Rather, they return a message to quite running processes. I have tried to use Activity Monitor to locate what is running, but can find no way to determine which of the dozens of processes listed are connected to the main drive, rather than to the boot drive of the clone. Plus, I do not understand how something can be "running" on a drive that is not the boot drive. Please help. Thanks.

Let's start in reverse order...
I do not understand how something can be "running" on a drive that is not the boot drive
That's easy. You can't unmount the drive if any files on that drive are in use. That does not necessarily mean the application is stored on that drive, but any file on that drive could prevent it being unmounted - for example, if an application has a document open that is on the drive, you might not be able to unmount the drive.
Even subtler, if you're running Terminal.app and have cd'd into a directory on that drive, then you won't be able to unmount, either, since the directory is 'in use'.
As for finding out which applications are using the disk, try lsof in terminal:
sudo lsof +d /Volumes/diskname
This will show any process that has an open file handle on /Volumes/diskname (and its subdirectories).

How to make this code go faster?

Hi,
I have this code and its really slow. My question is how to make it faster since its taking about 10 hours.
Code:
loop at ti_equi.
    select matnr sernr lief_nr kunde datum uzeit bwart posnr
appending corresponding fields of table ti_ser01
      from z_objk_ser01
     where sernr eq ti_equi-sernr
       and matnr eq ti_equi-matnr.
endloop.
delete ti_ser01 where not ( kunde in s_kunnr and
                              bwart = '631' ).
sort ti_ser01 by matnr sernr datum descending uzeit descending.
delete adjacent duplicates from ti_ser01 comparing matnr sernr.
What this code does is fetch all these fields and then just keeps the one that's been modified at last.
I have created an index by sernr and matnr in table objk which makes it just a little bit faster.
Any helpful answer will be appreciated.
Regards,
Roberto

Hi roberto
please avoid select statment inside loop.
use code
data: index type sy-tabix.
data : ti-ser011 type standard table of zobjk-ser01 with header line.
select matnr sernr lief_nr kunde datum uzeit bwart posnr
      from z_objk_ser01 into table ti_ser01.
sort ti_ser01 by sernr matnr.
sort ti_equi by sernr matnr.
index = 1.
loop at ti_equi.
    loop at ti_ser01 from index
     if ti_ser01-sernr = ti_equi-sernr
          and ti_ser01-matnr = ti_equi-matnr.
        move-corresponding ti_ser01 to ti_ser011.
        append ti_ser011.
        index = sy-tabix.
        exit.
     endif.
    endloop.
endloop.
here i have used one more internal table ti_ser011.
you can delete specific record from ti_ser01 internal table on condition. at that time u don't need to create any other internal table like ti-ser011.
in place of loop select statement---endloop.
you can use this code. I think it will help you.
please find if it is udeful.

How to read activity monitor????

My system keeps freezing up while using garageband. I've noticed on activity monitor that the "green/% user" bars are peeked, while the "red/% system" bars are relativly low. First: How do I interpret these colors? Second: what can be causing problem? I've posted on "garageband" link, but no help interpreting activity monitor was offered. Any help - VERY appreciated!!!!!

the colors, such as green, indicate who is running the process. User processes are those application you have started or have running. These could include appliactions such as Firefox, Safari, Word, or Garageband.
colors such as red are programs the system has running. These could include automount, File Sharing server. In general applications used by the system.
So when you are looking at garageband in activity viewer. From the pop-up menu, select My Processes. Next to it, in the filter field, type in garageband. This way the only process you will be watching is GB. See how much of the CPU it is using, as well as how much memory it is taking up.

How to make my iMac run faster

Hi there,
I have a 2011 iMac which is hardly used. I have upgraded the ram to 12 GB when I purchased it. However, it takes ages for the computer to run, especially during start-up.
Any thoughts on how to make it run faster?
Cheers,
Gary

Make sure you installed the correct RAM. Installing the wrong type will cause the system to become unstable and slow.

HT1338 how to make my MacBook pro faster

I was wondering if there is any software to clean and make my MacBook Pro faster and lighter???
I heard about the MacKeeper but I get some negative feedback about it....

MacKeeper is garbage.
The best way to speed up your Mac is not to install garbage software, such as MacKeeper, or to uninstall it if you've already done so.
Beyond that, you can increase performance by replacing the internal hard drive with an SSD and/or adding memory.

How To Use Activity Monitor

Is there a tutorial or something on using Activity Monitor?
For instance, I'd like to find out what processes are going on to prevent my G4 from shutting down at the scheduled time. (The shutdown deal has been ongoing since first going to OS X.)

Hi, David.
1. What specific version of Mac OS X are you using? Your profile information simply states "10.4". See:• If 10.4.5 or earlier, see "Mac OS X's Shut Down schedule will only work when one user is logged in."
• If 10.4.6 or later, see Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later: Scheduled shut down occurs at Login window even if users are logged in."
2. Note that your Mac must be awake at the appointed time for scheduled shutdown to work. See "Mac OS X 10.3 and later: Computer must be awake for scheduled shutdown to occur."
3. You may want to trash the preferences related to scheduling Startup / Shutdown / Sleep:1. Quit (Command-Q) System Preferences if it is open.
2. There are two preferences files for power management / energy saver settings under Mac OS X 10.4:• If you want to reset the Scheduled Startup and Sleep/Shutdown preferences, trash the file:
com.apple.AutoWake.plist
located in the Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration folder. You may be prompted for your Admin password when you trash this file.
• The Energy Saver preferences related to Computer, Display, and Hard Drive Sleep are saved in the file
com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
which is also located in the Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration folder. As before, you may be prompted for your Admin password when you trash this file.3. Empty the Trash.
4. Launch System Preferences and reset the preferences accordingly.Note that some of the information above is from the "Sleep" and "Shutdown" chapters of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X, Tiger Edition.
Good luck!

How to make a website very fast to update Using Dreamweaver?

I am working with a client right now who does not have the knowlege or nessesary time to update her up and coming shows, concerts, etc. is there a tool that works with Dreamweaver that can allow this artist who know no web design to update that information from say a computer or a smart phone? also, I know it is not related to the question at hand but; can Dreamweaver work with WordPress? in other words; can i design a website in Dreamweaver and have it easily editable using WordPress?

is there a tool that works with Dreamweaver that can allow this artist who know no web design to update that information from say a computer or a smart phone?
The best way for your client to update her shows etc, is for there to be a backend where he/she can log into. The backend will contain a CRUD module that he/she can use to update a database table.
The frontend will then dybamically show that data.

This can be done.

How to make a pdf rip faster

Hi every one. I just made a post card for a customer in Indesign CC. I export the file as a print pdf. . The file ends up being 4.8mbs. When I try to impose and print the file on my rip software (fiery) it takes 15 mins to rip. Is there any way I can preflight or some how compress my file to that it rips easier? I ran preflight on Acrobat 11 pro on the color digital print preset and it made the graphics look choppy and put lines through some of the type. Does any one know how I might remedy this problem? I need to find a solution and get these printed today.

Put the terminal of your led in a while-loop outside the rest of the
diagram (so it can free-run).
Make a local-variable which is true, when the led should be blinking.
Put an Shift-Register inside the loop
wire an boolean constant from outside to the shift register.
wire the signal from the shift register "input" to a "not" function and
this to the shift-register "output"
wire the signal to an "OR"-Gate
wire the local variable to the "OR"-Gate
wire the output of the "OR"-Gate to your control that should blink
put an "Wait until next ms Multiple" inside and wire a contant
containing
the blink-length you want to it.
This should do it.
It sounds a lot more complicated than it is. If you want, you can
Download an example (in LabView 6i) from

I hope, it helps

How to make form do update instead of insert?

I want to use the same data block in a form to do both
inserts and updates. How can you manually tell the data block to do an update?
The reason I want to do it manually is, I populate the block manually using a function when I want the user to
do a data update.
It seems like the data block is in insert mode by default. Is that true or do I have something else incorrect?
Thanks,
Tim

Sounds like you are going out of your way to make this difficult for yourself.
If I am understanding you correctly, the simplest way to achieve your goal is as follows:
1. Create a block based on your table using the wizard including your ID columns as base-table fields.
2. Manually add as many fields as necessary for your non-base table code/dscription fields (make sure the database item property is set to NO).
3. Create a POST-QUERY trigger on your block. This trigger fires each time a record is retrieved from the database. So you can code a simple cursor to populate the non-base table fields.
4. Your LOV needs to be written in such a way that it populates both the visible code/description fields and also the hidden ID fields. This will make sure that forms marks the record for update.
5. The LOV needs to be associated with the field that the user will be typing values into (ie. the code field).
If performance is an issue, you could also consider basing the block on a key-preserved view which will allow updates. However, I would consider the post-query approach first before getting too advanced.

How to make this query go faster

Hi ,
I have the following query :
select a.* from
tbl1 a , tbl2 b
where a.id = b.id
substr(b.id , 3, 2) <> 'XX'
and b.date1 is not null
and b.date1 >= sysdate - 90 ;
tbl1 - 21 million rows
tbl2 - 2 millions
i specify this hints /*+ INDEX(idxa_1 , idxa_2) INDEX(ixdb_1)
where idxa_1 --> b.lotid
idxa_2 --> b.date1
idxb_1 --> a.lotid
IF i DO NOT include b.date1 is not null and b.date1 >= sysdate - 90 ,
from explain plan i could see it using a FAST FULL SCAN which really returns very fast
HOWEVER if i include b.date1 is not null and b.date1 >= sysdate - 90
, from explain plain it uses row index and then there's a range scan and its slow
how can i improve the performance of this query ?
pls advise
tks & rdgs

Don't create the temporary table.
Create a function based index on table two
substr(id , 3, 2)Make sure you have gathered statistics on the tables.
Remove the hint.
select a.* from
tbl1 a , tbl2 b
where a.id = b.id
and substr(b.id , 3, 2) <> 'XX'
and b.date1 >= sysdate - 90;If you still have performance problems, post the formatted explain plan from sqlplus.
Read the Performance Tuning Guide.
Unfortunately this is not urs advice.
