Possible to tell which programs are accessing the internet?  Bandwidth?

I seem to have intermittent, severely limited access to the internet at times.
Is it possible to tell if a particular program running in the background is either downloading or scanning or "online" in some manner...?
Is it possible on a Mac to see how much bandwidth, memory, cpu cycles, etc. particular programs are taking...in a window similar to that which opens on a PC after pressing CTRLALTDEL ?
thank you

Check out Activity Monitor in your Applications/Accessories folder.

  • How to stop a program from accessing the internet in windows xp

  • After upgrading to the latest version of firefox. I can no longer access the internet and all traces of Mozilla Firefox are gone from my computer. I have no access to the internet, my home page or my e mails. What can be done??

    I have been using firefox for years. I downloaded the latest version and at the conclusion of the down load I was refussed access to the internet. Something about Proxy???? I checked my firewalls and security and they said that mozilla was allowed but everytime I attempt to gain access I am refused. I cant access the internet and I cant download another program to access the internet. I uninstalled Firefox and attempted to reinstall but after uninstalling Firefox I have no means to reinstall because there are no traces of it on my computer and I no longer have access to the internet. What do I do? I cant access my e mails, stored messages, favorites etc etc.

    No. After I select "Choose" the dialog box expands to provide only three choices. This is a new bug. I have only seen it in the past week or so, but it is maddening. I have observed that, while the Mozilla Foundation focuses on trivialities like which search engine should be the default, the Firefox application becomes buggier and buggier. Most of my family has switched to Chrome, and I will be following shortly. Firefox used to be a great program. Not any more. Getting assistance with a problem has also become very difficult.

  • I just got an IPAD2 on Saturday.  With the Mac, I could always tell when programs were open/running by going to the menu bar.  How can I tell what programs are running in the background.  I am struggling with not being able to go to a menu bar at the top

    You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.

  • HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

    How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

    I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.

  • How to tell which maps are the latest?

    I have Maps v3.01 loaded on my 6710 Navigator (came with free worldwide licence) and Map Loader v3.0.28 on my PC.
    How do I tell which maps are loaded on my Nokia and what version/date the maps availalble on Map Loader are?
    Map Loader does not state which maps are already on my phone, nor does it state the date or version of the maps which can be uploaded.
    Obviously, I'd like to install newer versions of my country map if and when it is available, but how do I know which version is available and which I already have?
    Ovi.com does not seem to be the answer either as all maps were downloaded using Map Loader.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you already have a free worldwide license and V 3.01 is working well for you then you are right to leave it for the moment. I hear of problems  searching for addresses etc with V3.03.  Can always update later when everything is sorted.
    I believe if you delete all your maps and then use Ovi Suite to download new maps, Ovi Suite will at least tell you what maps you have on your phone. I haven;t tried it myself because I can't stand Ovi Suite.
    Speed warning is available for Ireland but just like you I have to import the speed camera locations as landmarks. Hopefully, we will see these as new features in future updates.

  • I have an ipad that only has wifi and I am unable to connect because all the networks are locked for access.   Is there anything that I can attached to my ipad that will make it possible for me to access the internet

    I need help.  Just purchased an ipad with wifi service only.  Is there anything that I can get that will allow me to access the internet.  I keep getting network connections that have a lock which makes it unable to log on.  Picking up numerous with sites with the lock.  Help did I make a mistake in getting this ipad.  If so, can I trade it in for one that is more network friendly.

    If you expect to use a WiFi only iPad it needs a wireless network. It is customary to have your own versus using someone else's.
    Nothing is more network friendly than an iPad.
    You couldn't possibly have expected to sponge off a service someone else is paying for?

    Hey Apple!
    Please work your magic on this pretty simple task...
    There are tons of us Safari users that would like to see choices for Themes and Color on the Safari Frame. We want to be able to change the boring depressing Grey to more Cheerful Colors. It's to hard to tell which tab is opened the shades of grey are too close! I hate it!!!! To many times I've closed out the wrong tab. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there! We love you Apple but really, what happened to "Creativity"?! and
    Fun!?!

  • How can I tell if programs are running in the background.

    iPod touch version 4.2.1, how can I tell if programs are running in the background.  Battery is dead quickly and time/date reverts to Dec 31, 1969.  can see thin silver frame around screen like something is running in background.

    You really can't tell unless you hear music or similar. Many are always listening for notifications and other things.
    To preserve battery life see the following:

    I leave mine in airplane mode when sleeping.

    Anyway both queries might produce an error if OS system is not configured to resolve the short names (in case FQDN is not used)."user machine"... Can you please elaborate more. The above both queries are running fine at my end using 11.2.0.1 and windows xp.

  • Finding what programs are accessing hard drive

    Recently, my Mac Mini has refused to auto-sleep (manual sleep works fine, though occasionally I wake up to find it's on). I've tried all the "usual" things and, just now, simply sat there and listened. After the set sleep period, the monitor went off but I heard the hard drive "access" for a brief period. For the next period, every 10-20seconds, there was brief burst of activity (talking less than a second, mmaybe one read or write process). I don't know how I could track what processes are accessing the hard drive, but if I could, I could finally track down the bandit that's keeping my Mac awake. Anyone know of a way I could accomplish this?

    Nevermind. I found the offending program. It was Western Digital's "Button Manager". I have a Firewire My Book, so I'll see if I can uninstall the program.
    I'd still be interested if there's a utility to track which programs access the HDD, but I consider this problem "answered" now

    My itunes library was on my PC.  About two years ago I switched it to my Seagate server/hardrive. (itunes-preferences-advanced-change library). Last summer (2012) I bought a macbook, which seems to access the seagate server hard drive fine for word docs, excel spreadsheets,etc. It also seems to have started its own library which is not complete. My PC died this summer (I still have it though).
    Now when syncing any of the multiple devices (ipods,ipads, iphones) that we have with my mac book, itunes states that "an error occurred" or the "app cannot be found".  Itunes wants me to erase the device and sync with my macbook. The message "The iPhone “Renee’s iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library on “Renee PC”. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."appears.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
