Incorrect app name in Activity Monitor
Has anyone else ever noticed an application's name misspelled or incorrect in the Activity Monitor list? E.g.: Illustrator is spelled without the 'r' as 'Illustrato'. Other apps are spelled correctly, including longer names. I have never seen this on other machines with Illustrator or any other app's name.
You may have to inspect the computer's desktop and other file/folders once you
change settings to allow +invisible items+ to appear, where you may see them all.
The system uses invisible files, and sometimes a user accessible file may go
invisible. While I have not done it, some of my utilities (OnyX) can make them
appear; this usually requires an admin password to alter system settings.
If a file name accidentally gets a . (period) in front of it, the file may change and
this may make it invisible, too. And if you change the name of an item whose
icon is on the Dock, the link back there probably won't work anymore.
And if you see a null item in Activity Monitor, you may turn it off or delete it.
Sorry to not be of more help.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do you get quicklook app. back on Activity monitor
I am not very technically minded.
I accidentally deleted the Quicklook App. from my Activity Monitor,can
anybody tell me how you can get it back on the Activity Monitor.
Thanks in advance.In Finder`s top menu bar there is no Icon of the Quicklook App.
Is the Icons up above "View" where it shows the option`s to show has
a List,Cover Flow,or Grid.
The titles on top of the Finder window are Back,View, Action,and Path,and that`s it
What does the Quicklook Icon look like.
I hope this helps you to solve my problem. Thanks. -
Spinning Ball 4 1 App. + No Activity Monitor!?
So I'm having some issues with my G4, running 10.3.9. It is having real problems accessing a certain file and program. I haven't quite been able to reason it down to some corrupt application or file...I believe the problem is bigger than that.
Not sure what I did, but I can't download anything with my download manager Speed Download! I get the spinning-ball-of-death when I try to open or run S.D. I get the same spinning-ball when I try to open the folder where S.D. stores it's downloaded files.
I've unistalled the application and deleted/changed the download folder that S.D. uses. I figure this would cancel out any corrupt files within the app; however, when I try to open the new version of Speed Download it starts the process and then just spins. I can't click on anything to do with the app. But everything else on the machine functions as normal.
Other issues: I have no ability to open Activity Monitor to find out more about the computer's processes. And I get the same spinning ball when I try to open Console, so I can't look to the log files.
I've tried repairing permissions and optimizing the directories with Disk Warrior, but don't know which way to turn.
Any advice is good advice,
Thanks,
Ben
800 MHz Powermac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.25 GB RAM + Multiple drivesQuestion regarding this continuing problem...
It seems that it is a font corruption problem. I would love to be able to root out the corupt fonts and keep the rest. I can temporarily remove the fonts, or move them to another folder, but this is temporary!
I have tried to resolve duplicate fonts, and disable fonts (even delete) fonts within Font Book. I have used Font Finangler to "clean the cache" of my fonts.
But Speed Download is back to not working. And Word lists corrupt fonts whenever I open it, new ones each time. I've tried deleting the listed fonts from within my main library with Font Book, and erased theOffice font cache before rebooting.
Any easy programs that would allow me to keep the majority of my collected fonts? Do they continue to infect other fonts; spreading like a virus?
Thank you,
it is frustrating,
Ben

Flex apps and users activity monitoring
Hi
My question is simple : is there a way to monitor users
activity inside a Flex app ?
Best regardsIn that case you have to set up appropriate state variable
representing the things you want to track, then pass them to your
db using any of the available communication services available.
Personally I'M using CF with RemoteObjects and writing the
necessary CFC functions to handle the data updates. I also use the
SharedObject to capture state in case the user happens to hit
'refresh' or 'back' in their browser. -
Activity Monitor.app won't open
I have researched this like crazy and nothing has worked.
I looked in my Console, and there are tons of iMovie errors(?) in there, and then there is one for the Activity Monitor that says:
dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphKit.framework/Versions/A/GraphKit
Referenced from: /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/Activity Monitor
Reason: image not found
I ran 'repair permissions' and shut down the computer, restarted, and the Activity Monitor still will not open.
I also opened the Terminal and typed in this:
ls -la /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphKit.framework/Versions/A/GraphKit
And it returned this:
it returns this:
ls: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphKit.framework/Versions/A/GraphKit: No such file or directory
But, being a new Mac user, I have no idea what this means.
I have tried everything, with no luck, and I am hoping someone here can help me.
Thanks bunches! Jules
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) Intel Core 2 DuoJust for future reference, should someone experience this:
I used the disk utility and repaired permissions.
Then I inserted the OS disk and 'updated' the XcodeTools for the system.
I then restarted the computer, and now I can open the Activity Monitor.
It had something to do with my installing that X11 dealie a week+ ago I am sure.
HUGz! Jules -

Updates break Activity Monitor (Mac Pro & G4)
After applying the recent updates to my Mac Pro Quad Xeon and my G4 dual 800, both running 10.4.11, Activity Monitor does not work on either machine. On double-clicking, I get the launch animation and the Dock expands for less than a second, but the application does not launch. Trashing the .plist file in the User domain prefs folder doesn't help. Neither does Repairing Permissions.
Conversely, Activity Monitor works fine on my iMac, running 10.5.5. All machines are networked via a Time Capsule – the iMac via AirPort, and the desktops directly via ethernet (Cat 5e).
Any ideas about what's gone wrong here?Good call, BDAqua. I checked in system.log and Crash Reporter. Here are the results for both machines:

A library missing on BOTH machines? -
Greetings
For some time now, the Activity Monitor on my PB has stopped working. I keep a shotcut to it in my dock, and when I click on the icon it simply bounces, but does not start.
Has anyone else noticed this and and are there any known fixes?
Thanks

PowerBook G4, 17, 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.1)Thanks Tuttle
It's been a long afternoon.
I went ahead and got Pacifist, trashed my current copy of AM, put in the Tiger DVD and did the reinstall. I think it took a lot longer than it's supposed to because a) I may have tried to install a 'language pack' first, instead of the correct .app & b) Pacifist decided to update the prebinding - apparently for my entire disk - without my asking it to. After about an hour (after I had realized that what I installed was probably the wrong thing) of waiting, I force-quitted it, and started over.
I finally installed what I'm pretty sure is the correct .app file (from AdditionalEssentials.pkg), reapplied the 10.4.3 update, rebooted, repaired perms every step of the way - and got no response from Activity Monitor.
Moreover, I had checked the logs (thanks Niel) after trying to open AM before doing the reinstall and found that the same log entry was being generated after the update. Here it is:

Also, I found that the Activity Monitor .app file that I trashed was about 8 MB in size, while the reinstalled version shows 1 MB. From a look at the package contents it seems this may be explained by my having chosen support for additional languages at install. The reinstall copy shows a date modified of Mar 20, 2005 while the original shows Jun 9 2005.
It seems clear that the original .app is corrupted, but I'm running into a wall about how to repair or replace it. Any further suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks & regards

I am having problems with this machine, power supply, fan cooling or ?? and need to monitor CPU activity as I increase activity
on the CPU's. Activity Monitor v 1.5 (54), Tiger v10.4.11, works as expected. Just the problem with Leopard 10.5.8.
Thanks,
JohnSounds like maybe the graphic card and/or heat.
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12381/temperature-monitor
iStat Menus...
http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/
And/or iStat Pro...
http://www.islayer.com/apps/istatpro/
If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range, that's likely it.
10.5 uses the Graphic card alot more.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Activity Monitor won't run after leopard install
The only problem i'm having is that when i try and load Activity Monitor it bounces once and crashes. No amount of relaunches and reset/relaunches fixes the problem.
Any ideas? I've also tried launching the old tiger version of Activity Monitor that is on one of my SuperDuper backup external drives, but no luck.
Thanks,
ConradI apologize for the poor formatting. I did a filter for Activity and found these references to the crash. It looks like i'm missing a framework required for displaying the graphs that activity monitor uses. Any advice on how to go about replacing that?
Thanks

Application hangs on quit, but doesn't appear in Activity Monitor
When I tried to quit an application, it became not responding. The Dock and the Force Quit Applications window showed that it's still running, but there's no entry with the application name in Activity Monitor.
Trying force quitting by right-clicking at the dock icons as well as using Cmd-Option-Esc didn't help. Neither did using the command "killall process_name" in Terminal. (It said there's no such process running)
The problem happened to all kinds of application, from Firefox, iTunes, to Microsoft Word, so I think it's the OS fault.
I couldn't restart, shutdown the OS or log out when this happened.
The problem has just arisen earlier this week.
Please help me solve it. Thanks.Hi vnt;
Well it sounds like something is corrupt. It could either be the preference files or the system. So creating another user is the fastest way to determine which that I know.

I have had my imac for nearly 18 months now,
It's okay, is the best I can say about it.
It cost me around £800+
So recently (and foolishly!) I downloaded OS Mavericks when I was actually looking for a freebie word processor programme (I got Bean because it's simple like me.)
Now the point of all this is that Mavericks has new features like a redesigned Safari (But I ain't noticed any difference yet) and Imaps (Huh!) and Ibooks and Imovie or something.
So when you are oldish like me, you really don't want people to keep changing and introducing new stuff (most of which is pointless anyway) all the time; because it takes us old ***** a while to get used to the last "improvement."
So you try and get rid of all these new apps that you don't want and didn't ask for anyway,
and then you find out you can't, because they're an integral part of the new OS.
Brilliant!
Then you find that Mail has to redo itself and this thing no longer works properly etc. and you start wishing you hadn't got up that morning...
So you try and get it all back the way it was..
And you can't.
Because you don't have an external hard drive to use the Time machine back up facility.
So you get in touch with Apple Support and it's now nearly bedtime, but at least you feel like you might be gettin' somewhere.
You talk to the supportguy and suddenly you can't remember what the problem is and what your name is, and you're thinking you might as well order in a pizza seein' as you've drunk the last of the gin..."
Anyway the guy manages to keep his temper and you get some degree of order restored but the machine still seems "jumpy" so someone says to you
"Check out the Activity Monitor! That'll tell you if something's not working right."
So you do, but it doesn't.
Just a bunch of numbers and CPU stuff and User Idiot Input etc.
All you really want is some little box to pop up and say,
"Hey! yyyou've really ssscrewed things upppp-p here, old mmmmman!!. This programme is no longer functioning properly, that thing appears to frozen, and you just wiped half your saved photos of Aunt Jessie's 94th birthday celebration (the one's where she had her eyes open)..
Press here for a full maintenance overview and repair menu.."
By this time you are on the floor, your leg's got cramp and you really really need a pee.
But there ain't no maintenance programme, just an activity monitor app you can't make any sense out of, so you yank the **** power cord out of the socket and go to bed..
So you try andDVD-R media that is single layer has 4.3 GB formatted capacity.
DVD+R DL media has 7.8 GB formatted capacity.
DVD-R double sided has 4.3 GB on each side.

Application Sudo listed in Activity Monitor - Is this a default app that should be running?
First Question: Do other MBP users have an application Sudo listed in Activity Monitor from start up of their mac or with typical use?
Second Question: If you have Sudo process listed in your Activity Monitor, do you also use an Huawei USB wireless modem?
Third Question: For those experienced in relevant coding domains and given the more technical details below - your thoughts?
(Technical)
Using MBP Retina, mid 2012, OSX 10.8.4
I understand sudo is a unix root level access command.
I have used Terminal and become familiar with some basic unix commands, including using the sudo command in very limited single action command circumstances. I have not used Terminal for many weeks, and the sudo command probably twice several months ago.
Sudo showing in Activity Monitor as an active process is to my understanding an entirely different situation to it being used in Terminal. It appears the sudo process is being activated by some other application or process not of my direct use or actions.
I remain a little concerned about this in view of the purchase of this particular MBP. It has a story to it. I was told this MBP was available as new on discount as it had been purchased by a man for his wife, the wife then left him, and subsequently he returned it unused to the store. I was aware that there was a slim risk the laptop had been used for some other activities, and returned so any come back comes back to the new owner.
I noted later with use that the MBP lower keys were sticky as if something has been spilt on them, so I do wonder if the laptop was previously used, then wiped, in which case the story presented to the retailer is likely not true and a more concerning scenario becomes possible.
All the same, I felt a clean install should remove any risk. The MBP arrived in standard ready to set up and go mode, so OS loaded but no activation. So it seemed a clean install to me. I did not wipe the HD and do a fresh OS install from scratch. A decision I now regret.
Some months after using this new MBP, my concerns were raised when I had one day of inexplicable internet usage on a wireless internet connection. Not only did the level of data upload and data load, about 4 GB out of 20 GB for the month not make sense with actual usage, but also the MBP system logs did not tally with the internet providers accounting of usage on that day. There have been two or three other anomalies in usage since. The internet service provider reimbursed me on my evidence of OSX system logs. Not sure if the service provider has people joy riding other users accounts or something suss this end was going on. Never resolved. The ISP was not exactly forthcoming, and I had to press hard to get some collaboration on resolve the anomaly of unexplained data usage.
On the less suspicious side, the existence of this sudo program tracked down as in part coming from the install software from a Huawei modem provided by my internet provider. However, while widely used and therefore likely not a security risk, I still feel need for some better explanation and resolution of the persistent sudo process.
I have inquired to Apple Support about this sudo app running, and it apparently was not seen as an issue of concern by the front line support staff. I took up some further concerns with them but checks indicate no issues of concern with the MBP from their assessment. I trusted that as fairly likely a definitive view, and so left the questions and anomalies as unexplained but harmless.
It is now several months later and I still find the existence of sudo as a running application or process in Activity Monitor troubling, and decided to try and resolve once again how typical and for what reason it is active on my MBP. Which brings us to this post.
I have again spent a few hours searching on Google and Apple Support Forums. All search results I find relate to the use of sudo as a unix command in Terminal to resolve a problem. I can not find any indication of sudo as an app being open routinely in Activity Monitor with or without Terminal being opened or used.
The only way I can think of to resolve if this is unusal or not is to get on this forum and ask the first two questions at the top of this post.
More technical details follow.
For some more technically minded the details may be of interest, hence below here I have added details for further comment. I am hoping some MBP users on this forum may also be coders, and hence have some idea of the internal mac coding environment. Enough to shed some light on this situation.
As mentioned, I think the sudo Activity Monitor may originate from the running of the Internet Providers USB Wireless Modem and software (Huawei E 169? modem). The USB modem has the install software on it. You install that software on your HD as an application.
On this USB Wireless Modem front I have done some checking.
Killing sudo in Activity Monitor does not stop an internet connection mid session.
When the USB modem is removed, the sudo process remains running and listed in Activity Monitor.
If I remove the Modem icon, unplug modem, close all apps, restart without the modem connected, the sudo process is still loaded and running in Activity Monitor.
Months ago on a previous check if I deleted (uninstalled) the modem software, removed associated start up files installed by the modem installation, took out the USB Modem and did a restart, there was no return of the sudo process in Activity Monitor. When the modem software was reinstalled or the start up files restored directly, the sudo process returns to Activity Monitor. One of the software bits installed in start up files calls sudo (or so it appears having a peak in BBedit at the files.)
This seems to fairly much establish the source of the sudo application. However it does not resolve why it needs to be open all the time, and if this is unique to this modem, my modem, modems in general, or if permanent running sudo processes are fairly 'normal' in general. Since sudo is a root level access process, I do feel a little concerned of the situation. Let's say the sudo process is needed to initiate the modem under some justification. Does the sudo process in remaining running permanently from there on, with or without the USB modem connected leave an open access way and vulnerability that can or is used later? i do not know enough of the coding level architecture to form a view. Still, seeing a permanent sudo process operating does niggle by sense of suspicion. Hence, I continue to raise this issue and ask the questions I do.
In Activity Monitor:
sudo as a process when running is not very active.
Real Mem 8 KB, Virtual Mem 9.4 MB, Sent Msgs 75, Rcved Mesgs 26, Ports 25, Intel (64 bit).
The sudo process:
Using Sample Process in Activity Monitor: sudo appears to be a running of the actual sudo command from within the unix command files.
Path: /usr/bin/sudo (Master Library, not the one in the User files)
Load Address: (removed)
Identifier: sudo
Version: ??? (???)
Code Type: X86-64 (Native)
Parent Process: launchd [1]
Call graph
2nd line is 2656 start (in libdyld.dylib) + 1 [(removed)]
Binary Images:
Includes reference to lots of .dylib files. eg libcache.dylib, libquarantine.dylib, libremovefile.dylib, libcompiler_rt.dylib, libcorecrypto.dylib
The parent process is launchd[1]
Process: launchd [1]
Path: /sbin/launchd
Load Address: (removed)
Identifier: launchd
Version: ??? (???)
Code Type: X86-64 (Native)
Parent Process: ??? [Unknown]
It seems all of the activity of launchd[1] is from the sudo process.
Again reference to .dylib files as captured in call graph and Binary images.
I hope the details are valued by someone with an interest to assist with resolving concerns.Thanks,
I usually use the OS connection option. So as you suggest, connect without the ISP connection software. Doing so does not by-pass the sudo command being active in Activity Monitor however.
On reading my post I see my failure to link the concerns of the laptop purchase with the sudo and modem. My thought here is of an intersection of known vulnerability with this widely used modem/software (via permanent sudo process activated) and that vulnerability then being known and utilised by another party(s).
I am pursuing the issue in part with consideration to a broader possible issue of vulnerability.
Thanks again for your thoughts and suggestions. Valued. -
A process by the name of avgcmgr is loading the CPUs by up to 100 percent. At least 5 of them have appeared on the activity monitor. I've removed them with forced quit but they return! How do I permanently get rid of them? Three of these processes has now driven the CPUA temp to 194F.
RayHi Ray-
I'm having the exact same problem and have searched the web for hours looking for a solution (multiple spawned avgcmgr processes that consume cpu).
Did you find any solution?
Thanks so much!
