IStat showning download speed, hd space decreasing while no download is shown

I noticed a download speed through my iStat Menus while working on my Mac Pro OSX 10.9 . I got info for my os hd. after checking several times, the available drive space kept decreasing. I could find no files being downloaded, or open downloads. The only way to bring the download speed indicator back to 0 was to turn of my wifi and unplug my network cable. After doing that, my free disc space returned to the original figure. What can be going on here?

However, if you think it's wrong here are some suggestions that may help as wifi problems seem to crop up a lot on here and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a 'one fix' solution.
However, sometimes any one of the following can help although, unfortunately, not always. - in no particular order:
Check wifi security - if it's WEP change it to WPA or WPA2 (preferably, as it's more secure)
Change the wifi channel on the router
Create a new Network Location: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289
Reboot the router
Also take a look at this link and the links within the article for other ideas. They mainly reference Lion, but still seem to be relevant to Mountain Lion:

Software Update: Java for OS X 2013-002 1.0
This update, upon booting, has caused my disk space to fill up and my system freezes up. The same happens to my coworker's computer. We both watch the remaining disk space decrease and the "spinning rainbow appears" and we must restart. What do we do?

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Heap space error while creating XML document from Resultset

I am getting Heap space error while creating XML document from Resultset.
It was working fine from small result set object but when the size of resultset was more than 25,000, heap space error
I am already using -Xms32m -Xmx1024m
Is there a way to directly write to xml file from resultset instead of creating the whole document first and then writing it to file? Code examples please?
here is my code:
stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
result = stmt.executeQuery();
result.setFetchSize(999);
Document doc = JDBCUtil.toDocument(result, Application.BANK_ID, interfaceType, Application.VERSION);
JDBCUtil.write(doc, fileName);
public static Document toDocument(ResultSet rs, String bankId, String interfaceFileType, String version)
    throws ParserConfigurationException, SQLException {
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document doc = builder.newDocument();
        Element results = doc.createElement("sims");
        results.setAttribute("bank", bankId);
        results.setAttribute("record_type", "HEADER");
        results.setAttribute("file_type", interfaceFileType);
        results.setAttribute("version", version);
        doc.appendChild(results);
        ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
        int colCount = rsmd.getColumnCount();
        String columnName="";
        Object value;
        while (rs.next()) {
            Element row = doc.createElement("rec");
            results.appendChild(row);
            for (int i = 1; i <= colCount; i++) {
                columnName = rsmd.getColumnLabel(i);
                value = rs.getObject(i);
                Element node = doc.createElement(columnName);
                if(value != null)
                    node.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(value.toString()));
                else
                    node.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(""));
                row.appendChild(node);
        return doc;
public static void write(Document document, String filename) {
        //long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        // lets write to a file
        OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(document); // Serialize DOM
        format.setIndent(2);
        format.setLineSeparator(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
        format.setLineWidth(80);
        try {
            FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(filename);
            BufferedWriter buf = new BufferedWriter(writer);
            XMLSerializer FileSerial = new XMLSerializer(writer, format);
            FileSerial.asDOMSerializer(); // As a DOM Serializer
            FileSerial.serialize(document);
            writer.close();
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
        //long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
        //System.err.println("W3C File write time :" + (end - start) + " " + filename);
    }

you can increase your heap size..... try setting this as your environment variable.....
variable: JAVA_OPTS
value: -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

Three keys of my keyboard are not working, the cap one, the return key and the space bar, while the virtual keyboard shows to others keys highlighted in orange (^ and `); How to fix it? I writing now with a bluetooth keyboard.

All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

Space issues while extracting text

Hi,
      I am using PDTextSelectEnumText to extract text containing both Japanese and English.My sample document has 2 scenario:
     a)space between English and Japanese text. b)no space between English and Japanese text.
      my issues is with space,Which gets added to the end of English text,leading to string mismatch between extracted text and original pdf text.(for 2nd scenario)
      what changes I need to do,to read the space explicitly(if present between the text).
      Or is their any other function for text extraction.
Plz help...
Thanks,
Sind

"error: out of disk space message" while exporting Quick time file

Got an "error: out of disk space message" while exporting a 94min hdv project to the quicktime conversion (format:QT mvie, use mose recent settings / Options-dv/dvcpro -ntsc, size-dimensions compressor native) I also tried using compressor to creat a QT movie and got same error message. It gives me an estimate of 4-6 hrs, runs and at the end of 4hrs it gives me the error message. It is a large project, transitions filters 4+vid tracks 9 audio tracks, but Im using a dual4core, 4 gigs of ram.
Is this a ram or hard drive problem. I asume its the disk but cant imagine Im running out of space.
I've tried sending it to the "hard drive bay 1" with 30 free gigs and to the "hard drive bay2" which has 22 gigs open. can't imagine we are making a file bigger than that. I'm thinking about sending it to an external drive with 60 gigs free.
Any help would be great since We have our sound mixer waiting for this as a video reference. Also trying to export OMF files but they are greater than 2 gigs so we're gonna try and split the track up with 4 tracks, 3 tracks & 2 tracks. This has been over a years worth of work and our sound mixing is the last thing to do. Please help us over the hump and I'll thank you on our website, thelaughingplanet and maybe even send you a copy of the movie. Marc

""hard drive bay 1" with 30 free gigs and to the "hard drive bay2" which has 22 gigs"
Sounds like you're getting perilously low on drive space, you should always leave about 15% free on a drive for the OS to do it's thing. Either backup and clear some room, or get another drive.

The 20 gig qt file was what the mixer asked for. I guess he wants it instead of a dvd because it can be inserted to his pro tools. He asked for the 16:9 size dv/dvcpro ntsc format. He may be wrong and a half frame size would work. he did say he wanted the precision info provided by the QT file. Will the half frame give him the same frame and precision movie info of the 20 gig file with only a lower quality display image?
The problem with dropping everything into a dv seq is that we have many sections that have multiple layers of video with movement and size changes. What is the problem with making a 16:9 QT file?

IStat reporting fan speeds of 999-1199+...

It seems that every time I check iStat, the three speeds are as follows:
Fan 2: 999
Fan 1: 1099
Fan 0: 999
Are these normal operating perimeters? I know that fan 1 cools the gpu, what of the others?
I had one instance where one fan whirled really loud, and was at 3000rpm. Any thoughts on that?

Those fan speeds are identical to my own results from iStat Pro. I believe your Mac is operating within "normal" parameters.
Some folks occasionally report a similar revved-up fan experience. The fans do operate independently from one another and speed up and slow down as the system requires to maintain an optimal internal environment. As long as it returned to a more normal speed, I think all is as it should be.

Ram upgrade, ssd space decreased?

I just upgraded my macbook pro with 16 gb corsair ram, and after the upgrade I noticed that my ssd free space decreased with 10-12 gb. Is this normal?

It is normal to see a decrease in space proportional to the size of the memory increase. This is because OS X dedicates a "Sleep Image" for the contents of your RAM. Naturally this is the same size as the memory you have installed.
4GB memory - 4GB allocated for the sleep image. 8GB for 8GB and so on.

HD space continuously decreases while using Mavericks?!

I know this behavior is indiciative of page outs, which can no longer be monitored with Activity Monitor.
After upgrading to Mavericks, I experience lag while scrolling PDFs in Preview (so bad that I have to keep quitting and reopening the application) which also leads me to believe that perhaps Mavericks is hogging up too much memory.
I don't have Time Machine backups turned on, and the only other thing going on is I am listening to iTunes radio. Any ideas as to how or why I keep losing HD space? About .01GB every 5 minutes or so is lost.
The applications themselves, to be honest, don't seem necessarily slower (other than the atrociously bugged Preview), so I'm hoping I'm not actually getting page outs... but I'm not sure what to make of this
I just deleted all my login items as per finding another similar thread... have yet to see if that has an effect or not.

How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?

applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Getting slower by the minute, after reboot speeds up for a while...

I've read a coouple of similar posts, about the macbook getting very slow, but I seem to have almost tried all the solution suggestions.... I've used CleanmyMac hundreds of times, I've rebooted on the installation disk and tried the "disk utility": repair disk thing. I've downloaded ONYX and tried that. I've gotten rid of just about everything ecxept for the absolute minimum (Which tends to make the compter a lot less fun). I have hardly no songs on the actual macbook or images, or video files.... I checked out how much space was being used on the individual folders and found that the mobile applications and the library were using by far the most memory space, so I've cut that down manually to the minimum.
But still, after used the mac for a while it takes like 4 minutes for it to erase a simple text file, or to move one file to another folder, so I have to restart the whole system and then i speeds up again for a while.... but what could the problem be??? I have at least 20% of memory space empty at all times, if not 40%, but it no better..... any ideas??????
thanx fraggles

Hi,
I would first create another user to see if it behaves the same way and test to see if it's something with the computer, or if it's user specific.

Disk Space decreasing

Hi everyone,
When I leave my computer on for a while, say 3 or 4 days, I notice that my free disk space begins to decrease, even when I have not installed any programs or altered anything. Is this normal? Thanks a lot.

Yes, Mac OS X normally does dynamically manage files in memory.
If you let your machine sleep, it may not clean up logfiles, though some thing it does. You can clean those logfiles with Macjanitor:
http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/macjanitor.html
You can use the screen saver instead of energy saver to ensure you don't need to use Macjanitor and are leaving the computer on in the middle of the night.
In addition, check this article on what may be eating up space:

Ipad disk capacity/space decrease

After I update my ipad from 4.3.5 to 5.0, my disk capacity (total disk space) has decreased 1GB in total. anyone have solution to this??

Same boat. I was part of the beta, running it on AppleTV, iPad2, and five or six iPhone 4's. Bluetooth stack is the devil. AppleCare is your friend.
A read-only partition IOS was unable to over-write/delete at the time of the upgrade appears to be one on the list of things that could of happened. There have been a lot of CSS injection attacks, and the PDF exploit earlier on in the lower versions. There's some other stuff, but over all it's pretty secure. I found out about both those problems months before Apple released notice about them/started working on the patch - Somewhere around 4.2.6 - 4.2.8, Verizon thought I was a liar and I had to pay for 200 bucks worth of data charges, and I'm still fighting with iTunes over about 120 in charges. (Ever notice how when you type a password the last letter shows for a few seconds? They either had a VPN and were watching, or read it from device memory via keyhash or an insecure plaintext file saved with my password)
Anyways:
Look in your diagnostic logs under Settings, General, About, Diagnostics & Usage, and then Diagnostic Usage Data.
You might see a lot of logs listed with awdd_, or LatestCrash, or a bunch of other .plist related logs. See if you see anything in there that does not look normal. A lot of kernel panics/crashes is a good indicator of a bigger problem. You can also see in some of the logs a list of different libraries that were loaded, being used, threads, etc.
I honestly haven't come across a device yet that wasn't either A) Jailbroken or "Rooted" (without users knowledge, then they sandbox and/or use a library (libphide I believe it was) that hides/restricts everything from you. Turning on debugging in safari can show you when css attacks are attempted. Leaving java, cookies, bluetooth, and wifi off can help, but if someone wants in, well.. It's far from impossible.
B): MobileMe/iCloud replication is/was corrupt. I've had it replicating my push replications, downloading the same thing over and over then sending it back to the server again, eating up the "Other" Catagory (Documents and Data option in iCloud). Turning everything off to iCloud except find my iPad, deleting everything from the iPad by hand first (sounds silly, but you'd be surprised). then going to www.icloud.com, do a remote wipe, then do a manual recovery from iTunes and try reinstalling.
If that doesn't help to be honest you'll need to bring it to the AppleStore.
If want to take a screen shot of your log list of any of the ones showing crashes (probably will be several since it's rather long) i'll be glad to let you know if anything looks out of line. I've unfortunately got too much experience with problem children.
Good luck if I don't hear from you, my 64gb is showing 58.1 total capacity with 57.8 available on a "setup as new device" with no iCloud association as of yet.
I've replicated the problem manually on purpose on another device, and the "Read only" partition is/can cause this problem.

Data Writing Speed for Excel Sheet while taking data from PCI DAQ card

Dear All,
I am taking the data form the card EX-92026 pci card and writing those datas into the Excel sheet, now i want the data at the speed of max of 10 miliseconds but while writing the data into excel sheet, it shows the diff of 15 ms betn 2 readings, and the card specs says it takes the time of 500 microsecs to give the data, so is there any effect of timing, while writing data into excel sheet? is labview take more time, i am using the Open file, write file and close file method and write to spreadsheet file method, but none of them is giving me the effective timing that i wamt, so can u tell me how can i reduce it??????
Thanks,
Nishant

Hi Nishant:
I think I don't understand you very well. If you are using OpenFile, CloseFile and WriteToSpreadsheet VIs, you are not dealing with excel files, but text files.
Writing to file is costly in time. You can:
Open the file just once and
during de process use just file writing VIs as 'write to spreadsheet'... or a more simple one 'write file'
Close the file once at the end.
If you need the process to be faster, you can save all the data at 10ms rate in an array and write to file at the end.
Or write to file every second what you got the last second.
Hope it helps
Aitortxo.
