New 2.8 8 core MP/Leopard not showing 8 cores in activity monitor?

So, I pick up a new 8 core 2.8 today, drive the hour home, wipe the drive and put a fresh retail copy of leopard on it, then I decide to open up Activity Monitor and "view" all 8 of my cores as the dock icon.
Instead I get 1 icon, and in activity monitor I only 1 black box.
On my Macbook, and iMacs I show 2 icons for processors in the dock.
On my 1st gen Mac Pro I show 4 processors in the dock.
and I am not talking about the floating icon that sits in the corner on the desktop, I am talking about the pretty blue cpu usage icon that you can use in the dock.
Why is my Pro only showing one, but About this mac shows 8?.

I also have this problem with my 8-core, 2.8Ghz Mac Pro and activity monitor. I would always put the Activity monitor in my User/Login Items to start up with Tiger & Leopard, and saw 2 meter bars with my dual-core iMac, and now only see 1 with my 8-core MacPro.
If you use the floating window, it will show you 8.
My way around this is to use "Menu Meters" (the latest for Leopard), and I have Menu Meters display all 8-core bars in my Menu bar. Works great - but it's not as pretty as the floating window or dock icon bars from Activity Monitor.
(Also with Menu Meters I have the "show disk activity", "Show download/upload speed" and "Free memory"...it all works great)
So... I'll cast my vote for Apple or a 3rd party company to fix the Dock/Activity Monitor to show all 8-cores in my MacPro!

  • Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

    Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

  • TS3716 My relatively new ipod touch 16 gb either does not show up as a drive or everytime says it does not recognize my ipod when connected to add music.  I didn't have problems loading music originally, but this is a new occurrence.  Could you help?

    My relatively new ipod touch 16 gb either does not show up as a drive or everytime says it does not recognize my ipod when connected to add music.  I didn't have problems loading music originally, but this is a new occurrence.  Could you help?

    Hey, Thanks a lot.  It took quite a bit of time to resurrect this ipod.  I tried the upgrade again, but still would not recognize my ipod. So I went to the next step and reset my ipod, wiping of all of the information like it was new.  This helped my laptop see the ipod on itunes, but did not sync. So, I deleted the itunes off my computer completely, restarted and then reinstalled the newest itunes, and then restarted.  Finally, it recognized my ipod and started to download each song.  It took awhile as there was 602 songs, but finally it works.  Yea!!!  I never had any problem with my old nano, but this touch has been another animal for sure. Thank you again and also the community for information.  This was a helpful forum and will recommend to others if they get stuck with their ipod or iphone.  Take care, Karen

    I just purchased a new iMac and my Hard Drive is not showing on my desktop. It doesn't show up on a finder window either.

    No.  It's what I've named my boot drive.

  • New Canon T2i images import but do not show up in library

    I imported the first images from a new Canon T2i into iPhoto. The images show up in the "Last Import" folder but when I click on the "Photos" folder in the library they are not there. If I import more pictures from another source the images are no longer in the Last Import folder and I can't find them anywhere.  I tried importing a random image and it shows up in both the Last Import folder and the Photos folder. I even went and re-imported them from a back up folder on my hard drive and the same thing happens.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Jeff

    If it's in the Last ImPort then it's in the Library somewhere.  Usually this is caused by the dates on the camera being off or a different Sort (View Menu) being chosen.
    In Last Import right click on a photo and choose 'Show Event'...

  • Synching i5s to new PC with iTunes; i5s playlists do not show up in iTunes

    I am trying to synch my i5s to iTunes on a new PC running Windows 7 and after synching, the existing playlists on my i5s do not show up in iTunes. All the songs are there but not the playlists. How can I fix this?

    Thank you. You were right. They all ended up being there and I copied them to the new computer and used the restore option etc. But now I have a new problem.
    Even though all the 7000-odd songs show up in my iTunes library, for every single one if I want to play them, it tells me it can't find their location (with the little exclamation mark). What should I do?

  • My PC and IPAD are synchronised but recently I see that new bookmarks made on my PC do not show up on my IPAD

    I have a PC with Windows 7 that is synchronised with my IPAD 6.0.1. Synchronisation work fine for a while but now I see that when I add or modifiy bookmarks on my PC, it does not show up on my IPAD.
    What can I do.

    Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead?  Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

  • I can't recall my passcode to my older iPod touch (after the newer one got stolen) and it's not showing up in iTunes, how can I restore it to clear the passcode?

    I can't recall the passcode to my older iPod, iPod touch 2g 8GB, (someone stole my 4g) and it's not showing up in iTunes, is there any other way to do a 'restore' to clear the old passcode and be able to access the iPod? Anyone???

    The only way is to restore the iPOd via iTunes. Have you tried:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    P
    Have yu tried setting your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next wold be to place the iPod in recovery mode to see if iTunes will see it. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • I have a new iPhone 6 Plus and Passbook does not show up in my settings.  Clearly I messed up somehow in the settings.  Any thoughts?

    I recently purchased an iPhone 6 Plus and tried to set up Apple Pay.  Passbook is not showing up in Settings.  I clearly missed something vital in settings.  Anyone else experience this?

    Hi ..
    Make sure your iOS version is correct.
    Tap Settings > General > About then swipe down to Version. It must be 8.1.
    If it's 8.1, instead of looking in Settings open the Passbook app itself.
    If you can't find it, drag down from the top of any screen then type Passbook in the search field.
    It should show up under:  TOP HITS
    "To set up Apple Pay on iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, open Passbook and follow the steps below."  >  Set up and use Apple Pay

  • No "New Mac for My Mac". Leopard not finding disk, Apple doesn't care...

    After several years and several Macs I hit my first major bump with Apple. Today, I felt like I was back in my days of owning a windows machine. (Well, not really.)
    I decided to update my G4 Quicksilver (2002). It's a 933Mhz. I installed the max RAM (1.5G). And ordered a new hard drive and OSX Leopard. I didn't want to do an upgrade, but a clean install. And I figured I would install on a larger drive instead of the 50G drive that came with my Mac.
    Using Apples site as a reference for upgrading to a SATA drive. I bought a Sonnet controller and a Seagate 500G drive. Both installed quickly and without any trouble, my Tiger disk mounted the new drive. And in Disk utility I partitioned the new drive.
    BUT, when I tried to install Leopard, and it rebooted to the setup screen, it never sees the new drive. I found this problem repeated on several forums and I have tried all of the suggestions. They did not work for me.
    As a test, I put my Tiger install disk in, and it sees the new drive immediately. But Leopard does not.
    I called Apple support. Long story short, when they could not figure out what was going on, (and pretending they have never heard of this problem) their answer to me was, "Since you are not trying to install Leopard on your original hard drive, we can not give you any support".) When I argued that all I had done was install a larger hard drive, like everyone does, and that this Retail Leopard Disk was sold as a "New Mac for your Mac", they didn't care either.
    So, it doesn't matter how long you have been a loyal customer. Or how many systems you have registered with Apple. Or how many of your friends and family you switch over to Macs. The bottom line here, is well, their "bottom line". If I really want a "New Mac", I need to buy a "New Mac". That's basically what I was told. Never mind that I do have several Macs. I just wanted update this one.
    I am very disappointed in Apple right now. I paid for this G4, I paid for the 3 year support plan, which I never used. I paid for this Leopard software. But because I wanted a larger drive, they tossed me aside.
    So, having said all that. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.
    Things I have tried that did not work are the "set and wait" solution. I waited over 2 hours and the disk never mounted.
    I tried Disk Utility in the setup and it doesn't see the drive. I tried Terminal. It sees the drive but not as a partitioned drive. And it won't mount the drive.
    I thought I might install Tiger, then upgrade it to Leopard. I would like a clean install. Not sure what will happen if I choose "erase and install".
    Having said all that, I do still think Apple is number one. But they need to fix this issue fast.
    Thanks in advance,
    TroyD.

    Ok, here is an update of what I had to do.
    I did as requested and contacted Sonnet. I already have the current firmware. But they told me this problem showed no real pattern. Some people had this issue, others did not. What I ended up doing works so far.
    I installed a clean version of Leopard on one of my current ATA drives. Though I did encounter the "Blue Screen", once I forced it to reboot, things seem to work and I have not had the blue screen again. I ran all the updates to Leopard and rebooted back into my first ATA drive which runs Tiger.
    Then, I used SuperDuper to clone copy the fresh install of Leopard from the ATA drive to the new SATA drive that Leopard could not see before. Then, I set the new SATA drive as the startup disk and rebooted. So far so good. I haven't done much with it yet, but it seems "snappier" and I have high hopes that it will give me what I was looking for. (A slightly faster G4).
