I would like to see my activity monitor, but where is it?

I have had a MacBook for 3 years and only recently I've started to encounter the annoying spinning beachball, so, I need to see my activiy monitor, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to bring it out. Thank you in advance for your help.

These things would be of help...

I have a 27" IMac. I want to add additional monitors to it. There is a vga slot for the first monitor. I would like to add a second monitor but there is not another via slot. Is there an adapter I can get for via to usb?

Here's the problem I am trying to research for you...
There does exist a way to add a second monitor via USB:
USB 2.0 to HDMI Audio Video 1080P Adapter for Windows and Macbook
It's the only device I know of that can do that. The problem is that it wants a HDMI connection. So that means a HDMI-to-VGA adapter or converter needs to be found (not VGA-to-HDMI, those are easier to find).
Interesting article realted to this:
Hdmi to vga adapter
Maybe somthing like this converter will work.

My grandkids have moved away and I would like to see them by video but she has a Ipad and I don't know what to download to be able to see them. Help, I miss them so much.

My grandaughter has an IPAD and I have a Toshiba computer with Windows 7. My grandkids have moved away and I want to be able to see them by video but my daughter says that I have to download Apple and get facetime? I'm not real computer savvy but I desperately want to see my grandkids. Could you help me please?
Thanks
Rita

Good morning.
FaceTime will not work on a Windows computer. But, I believe that SKYPE has an application that will run on the iPad. So, if you go to SKYPE.com you can see their offerings. You will need to create an account (there may be a fee) and you will need a web camera for your Toshiba ( a Logitech 5500 comes to mind, assuming it does not have one built in already).
Your grandkids will also need to set up a SKYPE account. After that, you should be able to video chat to your heart's content.
Hope this is helpful.

I would like apps on my Apple TV and I would like football on my Apple TV I would like to see more apps and more stuff on Apple TV but other then that I am happy with it

I would like to see football on Apple TV

Hi scott2134
Apple techs/developers don't monitor these fora officially, we are just fellow users here.
You are not alone in wanting various apps for AppleTV - I have mixed feelings and suspect there are some difficulties getting rights/apps for all countries which may be aprt of the issue.
You may know you can 'Airplay' some internet media from iPhones/iPads/current Macs, but even then some iPhone apps block sending the video to AppleTV due to licensing restrictions
The best way to send feedback is to use the official feedback link:

I would like to 'see and hear' my mac book pro output on my TV how do I ?

I have a new Mac book Pro and I would like to 'see and hear' the Audio and video on my television. My tv has 2 audio phono RCA jacks on the side and 1 video RCA jack on the side. It also has a s-video as well on the side (I have never used s-video.) My Mac Book Pro came with a DVI to VGA little cable adapter but how do I use this to get to my TV inputs? Do I have to buy from Apple, (or somewhere else), that cable called DVI to Video Adapter? but then that is only for the video? How do I get the audio out? From the headphone socket? And if this is the only way why hasn't Apple made their DVI out socket a dual purpose output ie: Video AND audio, like the mini DVI for the G4 powerbooks? Please help. If anyone has also come across this problem. I want to see my timeline in FCP on the TV before I put it to tape. Thanks.
Thanx

You need a DVI or VGA to svideo adapter. They aren't cheap.
but then that is only
for the video? How do I get the audio out? From the
headphone socket?
Yup.
And if this is the only way why
hasn't Apple made their DVI out socket a dual purpose

Because DVI carries only video. Apple is using a new video card in the MBP with different abilities.

Most people doing this are using TV's with DVI/HDMI inputs.

Hope you can help.
I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

IDEA!!! Great to see Apple and the Drummer for Logic! What I would like to see???

Now what I would love to see and have talked to many that feel the same way, some of my friends work with Aaron Carter, writers, to Kelly Clarkson, Foo Fighters to composers and many want a JOHN WILLIAMS ASSISTANT, maybe thats what it should be called? Assistant or Arranger? Basically, I have seen many take Band in A Box (NO LAUGHING YET), play a riff on the piano, then it puts together some great ok, fair arragements that you never would of thought to do. They then open Omnisphere, BFD (or some drum thing), Trilogy (for bass), and a SOFTWARE ORCHESTRA and they have insta song. Apple would do the best job and really wished they snagged giga studio? I have great ears, can tell CHINA vs AMERICAN 6L6 coke bottles apart, even easier vs EL34, or broken .10 cent capacitor. Which would cost you that glassy~shimmer sound, like fender has, so this should had been swooped up by Apple as it was the WARMEST SOUNDING SAMPLER EVER INVENTED - probably one of a few that have a working MAC copy - -but they were to slow - by the time they had it, everyone ahd their own, OR they had (TASCAM) problems with security so when you get Kontakt, yeah, it might have great security but your paying for via the ROUND, WARM sound only possible by GIGA and Apple!
Now, I don't want someone with ZERO TALENT to come in, push a button and poof, a song, they tried with MAGIC GARAGE BAND but never really developed it so all they songs sound the same.
I would like to see a bass, orchestral, guitar, (although nothing beats playing) and especially an arranger where you lay down some notes and boom, a song is arranged for you. Apple could do it. Most that have Pro Tools also have LOGIC and most new hardware has THUNDERBOLT, so, if they put their minds to it, they would grab the pro's, prosumers in an instant and anyone on a PC would switch to mac just for the arranging as J. Wiiliams will play a few notes sometimes, and have an arranger write it out take off for a week or so and come back with a few versions.
Apple could do that, have a button to push, save but try again>Man, just having a program that throws maybe plugins and so on into the channel and change with the push of a button would be geniuos. Not to mention, start researching John Lennon, 65, 70, 75, 80 vocal chain, press a button, you have his affects/doubling, et-cetera. Plus Paul, Kurt K., Kelly Clarkson, everything from ROCK to metal to country and teen pop would be dope.
Then have LOGIC self regulate via the spectrum analizer and change thinks around until it was full as a great song with the guitar SOLO'd, should sound like poop, but when the rest of the mix is on, magic!
PEACE.

HI,
I'm not quite sure who you think you are addressing here with your idea but this is a user to user forum. Apple don't come here.

I would like to see timer recording added to the next firmware. I have a Radioyourway LX and if my Vision M would do what the LX does, GAME OVER. Please add timer recording to the Vision M. Also bookmarking for the vovies would be nice too. I do not understand why that was left out?
Bill

Movies do have a resume feature. It's not as good as bookmarks, but adequate for me. If I exit the movie, it remembers exactly where I left off the next time I go back to it. I doubt we'll see timed recordings, but send some emails to Creative, especially the developer relations section.

I would like to see history on my form from Day 1, currently I can only see partial history! Help!

I would like to see history on my form from Day 1, currently I can only see partial history! Help!

Hi;
Is the form a form that was shared with you or one that you created originally? The History you see is from the point you had access to the form, so if the form was shared with you it would only show history from that point forward.
If this doesn't explain what you see you can email me the link to your form at [email protected] and I will see if we can see anything.
Thanks,
Josh

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can see your photos on any device using your ID and photo stream.
If you want to see them in a web browser you need to create a shared photo stream album and make it public.
