Istat pro and my read outs...

i just put in another gig of ram a few weeks ago and am getting the following reading from istat pro for ram usage:
wired: 146mb
active: 479mb
inactive: 1.36GB
free: 2gmb
what exactly does this mean and what can be done to make it better... it looks to me that im not getting everything i should be... any thoughts?

That's not right, the 4 values should total 2.02GB e.g.
Does Activity Monitor show the same thing?
Tried re-seating the RAM?

  • Istat pro exhuast fan reading 0rpm

    I have a 13 inch MacBook that I got in 2011, not an Air or a Pro. But by fan was making a strange noise (starting just two days ago) it was almost like a purring, but I was sure that it was my fan. About three hours ago I opened it up and it wasn't making the noise anymore so I was concerned  as to whether or not my fan was working at all. So I downloaded Istat pro, and in the fans category, it has one spot for the exhaust which reads 0rpm. I started freaking out, thinking that my fan has failed, but for the past few hours now the temp of the CPU and pretty much everything else has stayed between 30 and 55 degrees Celcius? I kind of freaking out here, because I don't know what this means.
    Any tips, comments, suggestions are appreciated!
    (My battery does need to be replaced, if that info helps any.)

    Run the Apple hardware test to see if it shows any sensor or hardware issues.  When prompted, run the extended test, which can take over an hour to run.

  • I am trying to open pdf in Pro and not Reader.  Please advise how I can fix this.

    I am trying to open pdf in Pro and not Reader.  Please advise how I can fix this.

    Eric-
    FYI, this is a forum for storage and sharing...photoshop.com and revel. If you have acrobat issues you might want to make a note of the other forums:
    http://forums.adobe.com shows a list of all of them, and specifically http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat  this one for Acrobat
    But, since I have had this same issue myself...
    On Windows, locate your pdf document. Right click it and select "open with". Select Adobe Acrobat. That should do it. On MAC, I'm not sure but I'm guessing there is a similar setting.
    Good luck.

  • Soundtrack Pro and Compressor greyed out on installation

    For some reason the option to install Soundtrack Pro and Compressor are greyed out when performing installation of Logic Stdio.
    I had installed Logic Studio previously but ran out of disk space and so uninstalled the program, upgraded my hard drive and I'm now at the point of reinstallation - but can't install those two programs.
    Here's a screen shot of what I get AFTER installing what I can:
    http://www.btinternet.com/~wack/screen.jpg
    Also, why do some of the programs have 'upgrade' under Action?
    Thanks.

    I tried Final Cut Remover, and still had the same problem. I am in the midst of using Pacifist and it seems to be working. Apparently Pacifist copies the compressed files to to your hard drive then extracts and installs the programs. It appears to be working, but I will let you know whenever it finishes if indeed it does the job...
    It is free to try and $20 for a donation. It might be a bargain considering the time it will save me...

  • Acrobat 9 Pro can't read out loud

    I've always been able to use Acrobat's "Read Out Loud" feature to help me proof complex documents by having Acrobat read the PDF aloud while I read the original to check for discrepancies. Since upgrading to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended version 9.4.6 on Windows 7, I can't get the Read Out Loud feature to work. The document is fully tagged, the sound and speakers are working correctly. After activating the Read Out Loud feature (View->Read Out Loud->Activate Read Out Loud), when I select any of the options (e.g., Read This Page Only or Read to End of Document), Acrobat crashes. It doesn't matter if I'm using a PDF generated from Framemaker or one downloaded from Adobe's site.
    I've read through Adobe's Help forums and can't find a solution. Has anyone had and successfully resolved this problem?:
    Carol

    Just some nattering -
    Maybe a "Repair" of Acrobat 9 will resolve the issue.
    May have to move into Acrobat X (first fully "made for Win 7").
    Be well...

  • Logic Pro and Mainstage Bombing Out

    I have a copy of Logic Studio 9 installed on my Late 2011 MacBook Pro.  Everthing except Logic Pro and Mainstage 2 launch and work perfectly.  When I click on Logic Pro, it just bounces in the dock a few times and quits out with an error dialog.  Mainstage 2 launches to the loading page and then stalls.  I have tried deleting Logic Pro and Mainstage and reinstalling from my discs, they still don't work.  The thing is after the first installation attempt, the installer does not ask me for the serial number anymore.  What should I do?  I really need to use Logic Pro.

    Did you run "Software Update" to get the latest version?

  • How to open pdf in Acrobat Reader in Firefox window/Tab when both Acrobat Pro and Acrobat REader are

    I would like to open pdf files in firefox using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    I have both Acrobat Pro or whatever its called and Acrobat Reader installed.
    Presently going to firefox's tools, options, then selecting the file types option I cannot select any plugin to open my pdf's besides what's labeled as "adobe acrobat" but which executes an in-tab instance of Adobe Acrobat Pro, despite the ambiguous language on the plugin which I suspect stems from Adobe's evolving and confusing conventions regarding just what Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Adobe Acrobat Pro really is.
    Anyways, how to make pdfs open in-tab instances of Adobe Acrobat Reader while I have both the Reader and the Pro installed?
    Is there a sepperate plugin I need or something?
    Any help is very Appreciated

    eh,
    The problem w/ acrobat is that it takes forever to load
    I was going to just use reader to read documents, and acrobat to edit, so I could gut reader of all the plugins worthless for 99.9999 of pdfs I use and it'll load fast.
    foxit is nice, but won't open in-browser despite their continuing claims of supporting this feature.
    That's so bizarre that adobe won't allow you to choose which one you want to run. Its installed as sepperate programs on the uninstall list, on the "open with" context menu, and w/ file associations, so why would it not be possible to only open pdf links w/ one?
    Maybe its time to abandon acrobat and just use reader. There's much cheaper programs w/ all the same functionality as acrobat, so I guess I'll move on to those.
    If anyone else has suggestions feel free to make em.

  • PDF initially freezes when opening with Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat Reader

    Hi-
    Every time I open a pdf, either with Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat Reader, it freezes the application for about 10-15 seconds.  Afterwards, it's fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Im running XP Pro, 3.25GB of RAM

    Any chance you are also using Quickbooks?  I understand from Intuit that there is a known issue between  Quickbooks and Acrobat 9.  My computer does the same exact thing and I am running Quickbooks Pro 2009. Windows XP Pro 64-bit.  According to the forums on Intuit, the same problem does not exist with Acrobat 8.  So, you have to uninstall Acrobat 9 then in stall 8.  The problem is that the uninstall does not completely uninstall 9 so you can't install 8 successfully.  Apparently Adobe has an uninstaller that will remove ALL of Acrobat 9 but you have toi get it from tech Support - if you can find one that speaks English well enough to understand what the problem is and what you need. Then you need to find a copy of 8 to use.
    The problem is not in opening Acrobat.  It opens just fine.  It doesn't lock up until you open a PDF file.

  • Please take alook at my Airport specs and Istumbler read out.

    Here is my Aiport Card Information on my IMAC G5 ISIGHT 17" 1.9:
    AirPort Card Information:
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme
    Wireless Card Locale: USA
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: 404.2 (3.90.34.0.p16)
    Current Wireless Network: belkin54g
    Wireless Channel: 7
    Here is the read out from ISTUMBLER:
    Signal 15%
    Noise 8%
    Channel 0
    Freq -1
    I can see another signal in the neighborhood :
    signal 20%
    Noise 0
    Freq 2437
    And the router which I am using is a Belkin F5D7230-4 (802.11g Wireless DSL/Cable Gateway Router)
    What is the matter? My neighbors signal is higher than mine! lol
    and plus my roomate has a Sony Vaio and she is farther away then me and her signal is way better entirely.
    Anyone have any advice or reccomendations?
    Message was edited by: poops

    Can someone please take a look at this, I am still having the problem, and I hope someone out there has had the same, or even similar issue I am having.
    My concern is really to narrow it down and understand what is happening here. If it is a router issue than I know what to do, if it is a comcast internet issue, thats another thing, but if its a airport card issue, thats another.
    So, if anyone can spread the light on the subject, from the stats I gave you much would be aprreciated,
    your dearest,

  • NVDA and JAWS won't read doc in Acrobat Pro and Free Reader correctly!

    I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro in order to create 508-compliant, accessible PDFs.
    I first created the doc in Word, and, using the Acrobat tab, created a PDF for accessibility purposes, and it prompted me to save it as a PDF. I entered the name and saved, and it automatically opened the PDF version of the doc in Acrobat Pro with the "Make Accessible" tool bar open on the right-hand side.
    I went through the reading order and tagged and organized everything to be in the correct order, and then I filled in the Alt Tags for images/figures. Then I had the system perform an accessibility check. It told me the tags would need to be checked manually, as do the colors, and the title was missing. (I had entered the title and source info, etc. into the document's properties, in accordance with an Adobe Acrobat article I'd read on creating accessible docs. I don't know why the title wasn't being noted.)
    I tested the doc's accessibility with the Adobe built-in reader, and it worked perfectly- everything was read in the correct order in which I'd tagged it- including the alt tags!
    When I tried opening the doc in the free Adobe Reader, however, it wasn't read at all. I then opened my screen readers (one at a time)- JAWS and NVDA- and neither one would read the document, unless I clicked the cursor on a particular part of the text, etc. I need this to read the document- in its entirety- automatically!
    Please help!!

    Finally figured it out -- if I view the form directly in Adobe Reader (over our network), I see the confusing message about "Click 'Sign' to fill out..."
    BUT, if I open the form within a web browser (IE, Firefox, etc.), I see the usual message: "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print..."
    It is doing what I expected; I just wasn't viewing it in the usual manner.  Users will be seeing this form via a web browser, so problem solved.

  • Security matching between Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader

    I've created a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro that requires information to be filled out in boxes as well as signatures to complete the form. I've tested the form on different computers that bring it up in Adobe Reader. I'm trying to make them compatible. My Security options on Pro for the document show that everything is allowed (printing, changing the document, signing, etc.) but when it is opened up in Reader it shows most of those as Not Allowed.  I need to change that but I'm not sure how. I need the form to be compatible for Reader so that others can fill out the information needed and then submit via email back to me. Please advise on what to do to make that happen, if possible. I need details! Thanks!!

    You can enable certain features in Reader, such as digitally signing and saving, by Reader-enabling the document in Acrobat. Exactly how you do this depends on what version of Acrobat you're using:
    A9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    A10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    A11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)

  • MacBook Pro and Leopard knock out my wireless network

    I am new to Mac, just having purchased the MacBook Pro with Leopard 10.5.1. installed. I have a Netgear WPN824 router that works perfectly with windows based computers. I use WEP 64 bit security. The MacBook connected with no problem and surfs the web fine until I try to download certain files on the MacBook (such as the HP drivers for my all in one printer) or try certain video feeds online , such as a cnn video. The download not only stops midstream but actually knocks out my entire network causing me to have to unplug my cable modem and router and restart everything. This is a real problem. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? I can download the same files on a Windows laptop with no problem. Help.

    Hmm. It might not be the MBP. Are you using Safari? I've noticed that Safari at times is incompatible with many websites. Try downloading Firefox and try the same downloads.

  • Shared review feature between Acrobat 9 pro and Adobe Reader???

    I have a question about Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro & the Shared Review feature.  I hope that it allows me to take a pdf document, share it with others that only have the free Adobe Reader (not Standard or Pro Acrobat), and allow them to markup the document and send it back to me so I can save  the new  marked up pdf document.  Is that what Shared Review does, or do the others have to also own a paid copy of some Acrobat program (Standard, Pro, etc.)?
    Thanks in advance!

    That’s correct. Others can participate using Reader in the shared reviews.

  • Installed Acrobat Pro and uninstall Reader does not work defaults back to Reader

    I've installed Acrobat Pro, after installing Acrobat Reader.  After I uninstall Reader and click on a PDF file, it automatically opens it in Reader.  I've clicked Acrobat 9 as my preferred software, but next time, it reverts back to opening in Reader.  I'm using a lenovo Yoga laptop with Windows 8.1.

    Thank you very much for your reply.  This didn't work.  As you can tell, this is not a high priority for me, just annoying that I have to uninstall Reader every time I open a PDF.  It will open in Acrobat after that, 'til I shut down my laptop.
    Here's the order:  I installed Acrobat Reader.  Then I installed Acrobat Pro.  Then I uninstalled Acrobat Reader.  But when I click on a PDF file, it reopens in Acrobat Reader (I don't use Microsoft Reader - at least on purpose!)  Somehow Acrobat Reader is not completely uninstalling and reactivates.  Our computer consultant tried to fix it, but couldn't.   He said he thot some of his research showed this was a problem in Windows 8 and 8.1?
    I just tried going into Programs in the Control Panel and Acrobat Pro 9 only shows Uninstall/Change, not Repair.  However, I clicked through and got to Repair.  Tried that (which I've actually done before) and still didn't work.

  • Adobe Pro and then Reader use

    Hi Everyone,
    I would like to develope a hyperlink pdf at home in Adobe Pro or Standard and then send it to my co-workers: Problem is they only have the latest 8.0 Acrobat reader installed.  I was hoping to embed video down the road but really like the hyperlink feature.   Any help?
    MS Project: Will Adobe Standard allow me to print from MS Project as a pdf?  It allows MS Word/Excel/PowerPoint but need it for Project also?
    Appreciate any help, thank you!

    Hi,
    You can create links in a PDF using the Link tool.
    These will be functional for users of Adobe Reader (any version).
    You may find the Acrobat product comparison for Acrobat 9 helpful.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html
    Some Acrobat 9 features require that Adobe Reader 9 be used.
    Typically, these are the features unique to Acrobat Pro Extended.
    PDF output from MS Project -
    With Acrobat Standard/Pro/Pro Extended installed you also get Adobe Distiller.
    An Adobe Printer is added to your computer's inventory of "printers".
    You can file > print from Project to PDF with this printer.
    Also installed is Adobe PDFMaker.
    When properly installed, there should be an "Adobe" entry on installed Office applications.
    Use this add-on to output more fully featured (interactive, etc) PDFs.
    PDFMaker configuration options are specific to an Office application; so, what can be done with MS Word will not be the same for MS Project.
    Look over the PDFMaker configuration options for the Office application you are using.
    Regarding MS Project - From Acrobat Help:
    Microsoft ProjectYou can create PDFs of only the currently selected view. Views designated as nonprintable in Project cannot be converted to PDF.
    Note: Converting Project files requires Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended.
    A good reference to add to "favorites": PDFMaker version compatibility
