Mac OS 10.4.11 - where is Activity Monitor?
Sorry if this is a very simple question: I want to use Activity Monitor, and it isn't in Applications/Utilities. Can't find it searching via Spotlight. Do I go to the original Tiger installation disk or does it have a new name in 10.4.11?
There are no simple questions nor answers. Was Activity Monitor there before and now is gone? If the answer is no, it must be downloaded from the disk. I believe that if you do an archive and install the upgrades will have to be done after. Remember to check disks before and after. Re-post if I did not answer, OK.

photoshop bridge on my 3 year old mac pro has become inoperable. In activity monitor is is using 180+ percent of CPU. I also get switchboard not operating. I deleted all of photoshop and bridge and reloaded them. Same problem. Does anyone know a solution. Setting up a new user account has been suggested.
Thank youHi @Tom,
Thanks for your response. "Camera Uploads" is a folder in which Dropbox deposits all my photos and movie clips from my cameras. It is a rather enormous folder likely exceeding several gigs of media.
The file path is
/Users/bpg/Dropbox/Camera Uploads/
I really don't know the difference between "media" and "events". I consider media a group or bunch of photos and movie clips. I consider "events" a specific bucket or container of photos and movie clips. If I should know more, a reference to documentation or an explanation of the difference would receive "This helped me." If you could explain how to get FCPX working again (it just won't do anything beyond the splash screen), I will provide "This solved my question."
Thanks for your help! -
Activity Monitor not showing all RAM
I just upgraded to 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8 on my Mac Mini. With 10.6.3 Activity Monitor started showing total of 3 GB of RAM instead of 4 GB as System Profile does show. I ran Rember and all tests passed. It showed 4 GB total memory and 1690 MB available memory which seems consistent with AM's Free memory.
Any ideas why the system seems to "see" (System Profiler) all the memory but not be using it (AM)?

I have a related question about the pie chart.
I have 12GB installed. Free at 9.72 + Used at 2.28 adds up to 12GB.
But adding up Wired at 957.4MB, Active at 754.1MB, and Inactive at 632.4MB comes to 2.3GB (rounded). Adding that to the pie chart figure of 11.75 gives a total of 14.05GB, which isn't possible. What does the pie chart figure at 11.75GB represent? It can't be the 12GB minus the Wired, Active and Inactive either, since that would be much less than 11.75. And if it's supposed to be the total of installed Memory, why the missing .25GB?
Wired+Active+Inactive = Used. Thus, 9.72+2.28 ≃ 9.7.2+2.3 ≃ 12. The 11.75 is a mucked up AM reading. Check the memory via About this Mac->More info. Mine shows exactly 12 GB. -
So I am really unsure where to start but I def need a little help getting to where I want to be or feel I should be. I understand that I am pretty much filled when it comes to the RAM on this machine but I need to figure out how to lower it. I back up my machine about once a week which is longer than I would prefer but due to the way Mavericks has been acting I cant deal with the long backup process.... WHY?!?? may be your response to that and I will fill you in. My external Hard Drive is a 1tb Lacie and its about 2 years old. In that time I have dropped, lost, threw and slept ontop of it. Causeing minor damage (each time) to the casing. So now becomes rather hot and I kinda dont want it to burn out. When I first updated to Mavericks the backups were fast and went along mb by mb...now though, the updates drag out for 3-5 hours and update kb by kb. Tried some of the "solutions" posted on here but none seem to work any more than me consistantly purging my system while the backup happens...kinda why I dont have time to do it everyday like I'd like.
ANYWAY can someone please fill me in on a way, program, application, anything that will help me lower my RAM? Because in the spirit of honesty I just dont have the extra funds to snag some new RAM or another HD. I am almost at the point of saying "F**K IT" and wiping everything off the computer so its as close to empty as can be and manually, one by one redownloading what I want/need. But I dont have the time to accomplish that either. PLEASE lend me your ear and help a brudda out with some information from that exceptional brain of yours.
Below is a copy of my machines "report" from EtreCHECK and I am including screen shots of what the (Mavericks) Activity Monitor currently looks like in ALL PROCESSES. PLUS it kinda seems that I have WAY TOOO MANY processes going on in the ACTIVITY MONITOR and have NO clue how to lower the amount. Will truly appreciate any help anyone can toss my way.
THANK YOU

You should probably try to weed some of that out, if possible, or at least make sure it's all updated and compatible with Mavericks. -
I've installed CS6 and web Premium on a Mac running 10.9.5, and Dreamweaver,Flash and Illustrator wont launch. All other components work normally. In Activity monitor it says Adobe switchboard failed to respond. Can anyone help solve this issue?

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.

Mac slow activity monitor wired
HI,
My mac has been slowing down. I have tried to goole how to trouble shoot and was directed to the "activity monitor"..
I noted that my "wired" under system memory is 690 mb....
I have 1 program running firefox
My disk activity is constantly high red on the graph
I have 100gb fre on my HD of 499.25 gb
My CPU activity looks like a bright xmas treem with 4 bars all full of bright colorsThat looks pretty normal to me, except for the high Page out and Swap use which indicates that you need more RAM for your usage.
See > OWC Certified RAM for Apple iMac with Lifetime Warranty
Currently I'm running OS X, a few Utilities, Safari, iTunes which never quits and I'm using a little more RAM than you are.
Also note: that with 8GB of RAM, I have no Page outs or Swap used and my Mac has not been restarted for almost 3 weeks. -
after transfering data froAm my pc to mac using windows migration assist, where do the data go to on my mac please?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
By default, Migration Assistant creates a new user account where it puts all the transferred data. Just go to > Log Out, and log in the new user that Migration Assistant has created, so you will be able to access to the transferred data.
If you want to merge the data into the first user account, use the Shared folder (it's in /Users/Shared) to put the transferred files there, and then, on the first user, go to the Shared folder and put all the data in the folders you want -

Thanks, while it worked on yours it doesn't work on mine, any other ideas?
Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
And how long did you hold it down?
I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit? -

My mac mini is running slow. Bought it in 2009. Activity monitor shows nothing running that should not be. Someone suggested it might be my operating system? Check for software updates, and I am current. Suggestions?
Open Activity Monitor, Show:>All Processes, sort on CPU%, see if anything using too much CPU% when this happens, click on Memory tab, do you have many Pageouts?
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive in Disk Utilty by highlighting the Drive & looking at the bottom of the window. -
I don't think this should be happening, but I haven't been able to find any reference to such a situation in Apple Support or on Forums.
I'm trying to do this. I unchecked Contacts, restarted my Mac and lo and behold, Contacts was rechecked! I unchecked it and checked Activity Monitor. By the time I returned to System Preferences, Contacts was rechecked. This happened 3 times. Now it has remained rechecked, AddressBookSourceSync is consuming over 90% of a CPU (mostly over 95%). I'm letting it go for about half an hour. I'm debating whether to let it go and see if it settles down (no evidence that it will). CPU time is over 30 minutes now. I think I'm going to quit (or Force Quit) AddressBookSourceSync, follow the suggested steps and see what happens.

My mac seems to be frozen on an internet page. I can't force quit. I can't control+options+command+esc. I can't access my activity monitor. I CAN see my mouse moving but when I click on anything, it doesn't seem to engage or recognize it. Fix?
Thank you. There is a bigger issue. It is not the web page that is the problem. It is that I can see my mouse moving and can move it along the bottom toolbar and the options will highlight but I can't click on anything. I can see the apple icon to get to force quit but cant click on it.
I used your suggestion and force quit came up but I can't select the option to force quit... not even with my arrows and enter/return key. Any other thoughts?
Thank you. -
