"Memory Overview" not listed in Apple System Profiler

I have a beige G3 minitower running OS 10.2.6 that currently has 192 MB RAM. I am set to get more RAM for this machine, but I noticed that my Apple System Profiler doesn't even have a Memory Overview category showing what RAM is presently in which slot. (I'm used to seeing that in OS 9.2) In other words, I see the software, hardware, network, and production information overviews in the System Profile tab but not the Memory overview. (I get the 192 MB when I choose About This Mac from the Apple menu.) Did Apple discontinue the Memory Overview feature with Jaguar? Or is there some Preference or View I need to set? (The Preferences command is greyed out on the Apple System Profiler menu)It just seems strange to me that I can't get specific info on the currently installed RAM

Patroklus,
That is what is showing on the right hand side of the page, correct?
What I listed, is what is in the left column of System Profiler, when all of the Disclosure Triangles are clicked, and pointing down.
I then click on Memory, to highlight it, and on the right side of the Profiler,
my Memory Slots are displayed.

  • Error messages in Console Log of Apple System Profiler

    Today, I manually executed some CRON scripts from the Terminal window as part of a regular maintenance cycle. Before doing so, I ran the Apple System Profiler (OS 10.2.8), clicked on the Logs tab, and checked the Console Log. It had three days of error messages and other info (more on this later), but my intent was just to check the last entries in the log before running the CRON scripts, so that I could detect any additional errors logged as a result of the CRON scripts.
    Having checked the log, I quit the Profiler and all other applications. Then I opened the Terminal window and entered:
    sudo periodic monthly
    I was prompted for my adminstrator password, and it then executed the script. It took just seconds to execute. Following this, I also executed
    sudo periodic weekly
    sudo periodic daily
    The weekly CRON took about 2 minutes to finish, and the daily only a few seconds. I ran Apple System Profiler again and checked the console log and found this additional error message (not present prior to running the scripts):
    Feb 15 13:43:10 Drake-Bradleys-Computer sendmail[865]: NOQUEUE:
    SYSERR(root): /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 93: fileclass: cannot open '/
    etc/mail/local-host-names': Group writable directory
    (I have inserted hard returns to break the single-line error message into three lines to avoid requiring readers to use the horizontal scroll bar.)
    Can anyone tell me what this error means, and what, if anything, I should do about it?
    Following all of this, I next repaired my permissions with Disk Utility (and yes, after dragging iTunes 6.0.2 to the desktop). I then ran the profiler, checked the log, and encountered these two additional error messages:
    file not in an order that can be processed (local relocation entries out
    of place): ./Library/Frameworks/StuffIt.framework/Versions/A/StuffIt
    file not in an order that can be processed (local relocation entries out
    of place): ./Library/Frameworks/StuffIt.framework/Versions/A/StuffIt
    (Again, hard returns are inserted.)
    The errors are identical. They presumably were generated by my running disk permissions, as other applications were shut down. It appears the error refers to the Suffit application.
    Any ideas what causes these errors?
    Finally, a last question. (And thanks for being patient with such a long post.) The console log contains a large number of error messages for each day. This occurs even on days when I have had no apps hang, or any other system problems (power failures, etc.) that I was aware of. Many of the errors seem to involve windows manangement. The most common one is:
    Feb 14 17:11:18 Drake-Bradleys-Computer /System/Library/
    CoreServices/SystemUIServer.app/Contents/MacOS/SystemUIServer:
    kCGErrorIllegalArgument : CGSGetWindowGeometry: Invalid window
    But other examples are:
    Feb 14 17:42:21 Drake-Bradleys-Computer WindowServer[194]:
    Cannot merge groups (yet) for wid 1877, otherwid 1881
    Feb 15 10:34:37 Drake-Bradleys-Computer WindowServer[194]:
    Reserved range exhausted. (0xbbf45000 to 0xbc271000 goes out of
    bounds)
    Feb 15 10:35:03 Drake-Bradleys-Computer WindowServer[194]:
    CGXRemoveTrackingArea : Invalid tracking area
    Is it fairly common for the console log to be filled with dozens of errors like this on a given day even though the iMac seems to be functioning normally?
    Thanks for any advice,
    Drake Bradley
    P.S. I have a Casio digital camera and an HP printer hooked up to the iMac, and very recently, an Iomega HDD. (The latter was not connected for the tests reported above.)

    Hi Drake,
    Yes, it is common, and I wouldn't worry about it.
    These "errors" are not about anything wrong. My guess is that it's a developer jargon to indicate that something didn't happen, only because there is no possibility of it happening given your specific settings/system options.
    See for example the statements "System woke from sleep" or "System going to sleep" in "error_log"...
    We don't know to what extend these "errors" belong to so many unmodified files that used to do something in UNIX 15 years ago, but are now completely useless, harmless and so small they can't affect Mac OS X performance in any way?
    Enjoy your Mac!

  • New Hard disk is not appearing in the System Profiler

    I am doing a fresh install using my ligitimate Snow Leopard DVD  on my USB disk.
    My SSD is not appearing in the System Profiler under Hardware>ATA
    or under Hardware>Serial-ATA
    It is a PATA device as was the original disk I've replaced.
    So I have NO disk to install onto.
    Any ideas what the problem could be?
    ===
    History
    My hard disk died, and I am replacing it with an SSD.
    I bought a Mach Xtreme Technology Pata 1.8" SSD (Part no MXSSD1MNANOZ-120G)
    (I can send this back if I have to)
    The SSD is unusual in that it has to be a 1.8" size with a ZIF PATA connector.
    The SSD is preformatted (but not necessarily to Apple formatting).
    With the SSD the same way around to the original 80GB HDD, Pin 1 of the new SSD is towards the back of the computer.
    I cannot find any information as to which Pin on the original HDD is Pin 1.
    I used this tutorial to dismantle and reassemble: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnV7mHS7Qi8
    I've double checked the connections inside.

    Thanks, this was the answer.
    The connector on the SSD I used was indeed arranged reverse to the original Apple Drive. So it looked different to all the tutorials.
    I knew where Pin 1 was on the new SSD but could not see it on the old drive.
    The original 80GB hard disk had Pin 1 is towards the middle of the computer.
    Flipping the SSD over meant it was about 3mm closer to the back, which made the zif ribbon buckle. So I had to cut away some of the rubber shock absorber to the back, and use tape. The SSD should not need the shock absorber as it is not mechanical/vibrating.
    It is now working well.
    (Although I now have a different problem restoring from the Time Machine.   )

  • Upgrading RAM cards not showing up in system profiler... is this normal?

    Just replaced both 1GB RAM cards in my macbook pro with two 2GB RAM cards, but when I go into "about my mac" it is still saying that I only have 2GB of memory, and when I go into system profiler and click "memory" it is still showing/giving details on two 1GB cards, is this normal or did I not install the new RAM cards properly? I assumed it would update the info to show the additional memory?

    This is not normal
    Open up the Mac and reseat the RAM modules. This may help.
    If this doesn't resolve the issue, return the modules to the supplier and get the proper modules.
    Best.

    Please suggest how to resolve this issue.

    Hi Venu,
    i have done SLD and CPA cache refresh, restarted the QA system but still unable to resolve the issue.
    Try if "Compare from SLD" works? This can be accessed by going to ID -> double-click business system -> communication component -> adapter specific identifiers

  • I can't log in the App store because an from Zambia which is not listed in Apple outlets. How do i go around this as apple products are using globally and not only in the listed countries. My product is a Mac book pro.

    Unfortunately you have taken an Apple product outside of the area where Apple currently does business. There isn't legally a way around this. Apple cannot license apps to you where you currently live.

  • Nikon P7700 not listed in the camera profile directory

    Why is the Nikon P7700 not listed in the camera profile dirctory of Lightroom 4.2, and not selectable in calibration  menu?

    Just to clarify again, what has already been stated.  There IS a calibration profile for your camera.  The name of that profile is Adobe Standard.  The only profiles that display are profiles for the specific model that took the picture.  Every camera that Adobe supports, even the digital SLR cameras, has an Adobe Standard profile.  That is the "standard" profile that Adobe created for the camera.  A camera will either be supported and have at least a profile with that name, or it will not be supported at all.
    Asking when the other profiles will be provided is futile.  I can only guess, but the answer will probably be, never.  If you want to create additional profiles you can download the DNG Profile Creator and create your own.  But I suspect you are getting all that you're going to get from Adobe.  I have a Fuji camera, an older one, and I have three Adobe Standard profiles for it.  Two of them are designated with numbers corresponding to older versions of ACR/Lightroom.

  • Applications not showing up in System Profiler?

    Anyone know why? All it says is "no information found" and hitting "refresh" makes no difference.
    Could it be somehow it uses spotlight to find the applications?
    It shows up the same blank page whether I boot into 64 or 32 bit.
    Thanks!

    Applications still not showing up. I also tried a safe boot; no go. The safe boot did solve another issue I was having; my security panel in system preferences would not open. After it did in safe boot, it opens in my main administrator account.
    But no go on the applications in sys profiler. However, I did install the same 10.6.5 on another internal drive with all updates, and THAT boot WILL show me all my applications, including all the ones on two parallels windows versions (XP and 7) and my bootcamp windows drive, so if I need a list, I'll do that.
    I'm guessing probably a symbolic link to the applications folder is amiss or possibly system profiler preferences.
    But don't know how to futz with those.
    Thanks.
    P.S. OK, I do know how to futz with the sysprofiler plist. Not the problem. Did the usual... dragged it to the trash, opened up system profiler, it created a new plist, STILL no applications showing up.
    I haven't moved my applications nor anything in my home folder nor changed my name or anything. Just really strange.

  • CPU not showing up in System Profiler

    Hi,
    I have a 4 year old Dual 2.5 GHz G5 which I think has had a CPU failure (B CPU). The system profiler states that I only have one, not two CPU's.
    Is it a case of using a repair CD to reset the lost CPU or is it dead?
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards
    Dean

    Hi Dean,
    Ouch... Well I've gathered up a few alternative solutions, though you might want to give an Apple Authorized Repairer a call for an estimate: http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
    Here are some links to wade through if you'd like to get a replacement. The first is way over priced, that store always is, but it does show the part is out there:
    http://www.welovemacs.com/appomacg5du255.html
    I had a good experience with this place once awhile back:

    And this link provides even more links:

    Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

  • ISight not showing up in System Profiler

    I have tried SMC reset, safeboot, and many other things to try to get iSight to work with my Macbook Pro. It does not show up in the System Profiler. Any ideas?

    Then you most likely have a hardware problem. See your Apple Service Technician for help.
    As suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 :
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • Isight not working & found in system profiler after efi firmware upd 1.17f0

    hi there,
    i got a brand new macbook core 2 duo to my birthday yesterday.
    the isight worked when setting up my user account right in the beginning. right after that i downloaded all system updates including the efi firmware update 1.17f0 which is version 1.1, basically, i wanted to play with photobooth. it said that the camera is used by another application. then i checked the system profiler (section usb), but it's not there. i tried to install skype which didn't find the camera at all. also changing my user-photo in my user-account-setup in system preferences didn't work because 'there is no camera connected'.
    i even formatted the drive and reinstalled os x again. i'm quite sure it's the firmware update that is causing the problems.
    repairing permission, resetting PRAM and SMC didn't work neither.
    heeelp!
    best,

    See if you have this file QuickTimeUSBVDCDIgitizer.component in the System/Library/Quicktime folder. If it is missing you can get a copy of the file here. http://techslaves.org/index.php?page=17 There are two links in the first part. Either one works I just tested them. Some others have complained that this missing file caused their problem and putting it back fixed it.

  • Serial number not showing up in system profiler

    hi,
    i recently had a problem with my speakers in macbook.
    i sent it for service and the service center replaced my main board
    now the system profiler is not showing my serial number.
    do any one know how to fix this problem.

    You would need to send it back to have the serial number burned in to the board. This seems to be a common occurrence when the board is replaced. There should be a number you can call on the paperwork from the repair and discuss it with them.
