ServerPerfLog not starting on Mountain Lion

Hi
I'm starting this thread but have noted that there is a similar thread rgerading Lion. However the postings regarding Lion do not seem to work on Mountain Lion.
The issue at hand is not being able to see any stats in the Server App.
I have checked my com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist and found that it has the key Disabled and it seems to be set to false.
When I do a
ps ax | grep ServerPerfLog
no process shows up.
If I do a
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
i get the message that its allready loaded.
However the activitymonitor does not show that ServerPerfLog is running.
If i manually to to /usr/libexc and run ServerPerfLog  then I can note that stats show up in Server App.
Hence allthough the com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist is loaded it seems that ServerPerfLog is not actually running.
I am stumped as to what to do in this context and am hoping someone else knows what to do.
Thanks

I found some more stuff.
Looking at the relevant plist I can see the key
<key>QueueDirectories</key>
<array>
     <string>/private/var/db/ServerPerfLogClients</string>
</array>
Reading in the launchd.plist man pages you can see the following
QueueDirectories <array of strings>
     Much like the WatchPaths option, this key will watch the paths for modi-
     fications. The difference being that the job will only be started if the
     path is a directory and the directory is not empty.
I notice that in my case the directory is empty. So the question is if this is what is preventing ServerPerfLog from running? And if thats the case, what is supposed to be in the directory? If anyone has stats working could you please check what if anything you have in this directory?

  • Bridge will not start in Mountain Lion

    I originally had this problem with Lion but a reinstall of the system cleared things up. Now since installing Mountain Lion Bridge bounces once in the dock and thats it. There is not even a recognition there was a crash.

    So, I've been having a problem very like this and perhaps can offer a bit of insight. At least I found what was going south for me.
    My problem looked like this: Start Bridge and there'd be a flicker of a window followed by a dialog with "Bridge is unable to perform this action" (or words to that effect) followed by a crash.
    After reading this thread I tried the previously-unknown-to-me OPTION start. That didn't fix the problem but it did eliminate the crash!
    Interesting.
    Now this problem began for me when I upgraded to Mountain Lion a while ago. After that my system began to become increasingly unstable. When I bought a large SSD to be my system volume I thought it would be a good time to do a clean install of everything.
    That went well, actually. Bridge worked in the new account I created! Wonderful! But I needed to use Migration Assistant to bring over my old account which had existed, more or less unchanged, since OS X 10.0! But then I began to have the same kind of instability I had seen before: Finder crashing, Path Finder crashing, and Bridge not working although the other Adobe products including Lightroom 4 worked just fine.
    So I poked around and here's what I found: different Groups. In older versions of OS X the user account was a part of group Wheel. This time it was a part of group Staff. Different group numbers. Hmmm. So I started at the top level directory of Users where all the accounts live and I changed the Group, recursively, to Staff.
    And then Bridge worked fine and there were no more Finder crashes, at least until I shut down for the night.
    So you might want to check both ownership, group and permissions in your accounts and see if this is a part of the probem.
    Why Mountain Lion (or maybe even Lion) changed the assigned Group for new accounts I cannot explain although, as I was walking the critters tonight and gazing up at the just-past-full moon, I wondered if it isn't because OS X Server can be installed as a layer over ML and this is a part of that compatibility.
    Now I do think that by changing the whole tree heirarchy I may have changed invisible files that shouldn't have been modified. But for right now I'll live with that and see what happens.
    Now I just have to try to get Microsoft Office 2011 to install...argh!

  • Logic Pro 9 will not start in Mountain Lion

    I have gotten so much great info here, that I thought this would be the best place to ask my question. I am using a Mac Pro 3, 1 (early 2008). I bought the machine running Leopard, upgraded to Snow Leopard, lion, and Mountain lion with no problems. I have a valid license for logic studio eight and nine. Logic ran without problems… Until I upgraded to Mavericks. After upgrading, my computer started acting terribly. It was much slower, and I would get these terrible freezes where the screen would go kind of crazy flashing colors and stop working completely.
    After thinking it was my graphics card, and not wanting to spend $1 million on a new video card, I decided to try downgrading back to Mountain lion.
    First, I cleaned off the system drive, and installed mountain lion fresh from a USB drive. The crashing went away and the computer ran much faster and smoother.
    However, after reinstalling logic, I am no longer able to start it. As soon as I click on the icon either through Finder or a dock menu, it crashes almost immediately. It has never gotten to or through the part where it scans the plug-ins or anything. I tried to understand the report it generates, and understand the things that it is trying to tell me, but cannot make any sense out of what it is actually saying happened. I have updated the app as well. I am currently at 9.1.8.
    I don't know why this is happening, and don't know what the best next step should be. I already have everything moved out of the way if I need to do another fresh install. I was thinking to try a fresh install on a clean drive of Mavericks, and see if anything changes. Also, when I would try to change logic to start in 64-bit mode, there would be no option in the "get info" window to select or deselect 32-bit mode. It simply wasn't there.
    I can post specs/logs/error reports of course, but don't even know where to start. Does anybody have any experience with this? Does anybody have a suggestion for where to start? Do I need to get Logic X? (Logic was running fine in Mountain Lion before) I have scoured the Internet trying to find someone with similar issues, but haven't found anything that works. All I have really tried is reinstalling both the OS and the app. Everything else works great in Mountain lion. I still have my Snow Leopard disks if you think going all the way back there would be the best option. My OS is running in 64-bit mode, but when logic does try to start, it says 32-bit mode in the little start up window.
    I'm totally comfortable with Terminal, Console, etc, so can provide any info if anybody thinks they may be able to direct me towards a solution.
    Thanks for reading and thanks for any help or advice.

    kcstudio
    Must be my chipset then, although another Mainstage board told me otherwise. (that it was the OS)
    When I upgraded my Duo2Core MBPro to Mavericks, I too lost Logic 9.
    I'm pretty much done with Logic 9, and pretty happy about the new Logic X, and happy that it works on ALL of my machines.

  • Start up DVD not recognised by mountain lion

    My start up DVD not recognised by mountain lion-how do I get around this for restoring from time machine?

    It's not very clear:  Are you trying to reinstall Mountain Lion from a DVD copy you made of it, for some reason?    And if so, why would that help you restore from Time Machine?  Please give more information.  Properly, to either reinstall Mountain Lion, or to Restore it from Time Machine, you need to reboot while holding down the Command - R keys as mcsound above recommended, to boot into the Mountain Lion Recovery Partition to do either.

    iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone.  You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone.  You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account.  iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
    iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac.  When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account.  You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar.  If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

  • Notes.app in Mountain Lion leaves multiple messages on Google Gmail account!?

    Hello, I've set up the Notes app in Mountain Lion (10.8.2) to sync with Google Gmail Notes and I've come across something rather peculiar.  I typed a Note into the Note app, it created a message in the Gmail account with the label "Notes" like I read it was supposed to do.  (I'm still baffled why they designed the Notes sync this way but that is besides the point.)  Then I proceed to update the note in the app and it updated the note in Gmail.  I though, "sweet, it's working," so I began typing away.  After imputing a bunch of notes into the Notes app, I went over to Gmail and clicked on "All Mail" and to my surprise there were HUNDREDS of partial messages left behind by the Notes app!  Apparently everytime a note is updated and the Notes app syncs with Gmail (which is every few seconds), it creates a new message.
    I know that a work-around solution is to just use iCloud, but I haven't found an easy way to sync up iCloud Notes with an Android.  I know, I know, I should just get an iPhone and call it a day, but for those that use Gmail Notes, has anyone found a solution?  It's so annoying!!
    (I wonder if Apple did this on purpose so users will switch to the much easier iCloud and iPhone.  Hmmmm.)

    Good day all,
    I had the similar issue. I did the following to recover my notes before the upgrade:
    You need to locate the StickiesDatabase under your Library folder.
    Once you have a copy of your StickiesDatabase under
    /Users/<insert_your_home_directory>/Library/StickiesDatabase
    Export stickies created by Stickies.app
    Install National Velocity (NV) - http://notational.net/ and start the application
    In Finder open your Library folder and locate StickiesDatabase
    Drag StickiesDatabase into the list of notes in NV main window
    After you are able to see your notes in NV, it is up to you how to transfer them to Apple Notes. You could export as HTML/RTF etc or copy paste manually...  I have decided to use NV from now on.
    The instructions above is from the following page:

  • Logitech Quick Cam pro 9000 is not working with Mountain Lion's dictation

    The Logitech Quick Cam pro 9000 is not working with Mountain Lion's dictation.
    Opening the dictation system preference panel makes the system preferences crash...
    The mic of that camera is the only mic I have.
    I own a Mac Pro and an old Cinema Display which has no built-in cam/mic.
    Anyone having the same issue?
    I hope this is gonna be fixed with 10.8.1.

    Hello, thank you for responding.
    Unplug and plug in back the camera does not solve this problem. I tried that before.
    But what worked was to start photo booth. Don't really know why.
    So after every restart of the mac I have to start photo booth and dictation with the QuickCam is working. ^^

  • I started downloading Mountain Lion about 30 mins ago and I see no progress. I'm downloading it through my wifi. Is this normal? Should I go to a hard line in instead? Thanks......

    You're not using the fast tracks midi out you are using the analog/digital audio.
    But go to garageband preferences > Audio Midi and I'm guessing you have the wrong output set. Choose the output that you are using, I'm going to guess built in.
    And make sure the fast track is set for audio input.

    Hello royalaqua,
    I do think you should ask yourself if upgrading to Lion is the right course to take.
    Snow Leopard is an excellent OS and Lion has literally been frozen out after barely a year.   Remember too that some of your apps may not work with Lion (those that have Rosetta, for example) so that could mean more new purchases.   Plus you may need to uprate your RAM too.

  • How to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on Mavericks

    Hi all
    I would like to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on my MBP which is currently running OSX Mavericks.
    This however seems impossible. I think OSX Mavericks were already installed on my MBP and therefore it seems "impossible" to download it.
    Now, why would I to do this? The answer is quite reasonable, due to certain demands related to an application portfolio I need Mountain Lion, because the portfolio is not upgraded to run on Mavericks. And, it is more reasonable to downgrade a version of OSX, rather waiting for the portfolio upgrade which can take years.
    Yes, I need to downgrade my secondary MBP which also came with preinstalled Mavericks. This can be done, if I only could download but not install Moutain Lion.
    It should be easy enough; download Mountain Lion, make an installer and make a bootable thumb usb stick. Then erase Mavericks and install Mountain Lion.
    I have previously bought Mountain Lion so it is accessible to me in the App Store, but whenever I try to hit the Download button, I get a message saying this can't be done, since I am running Mavericks.
    This bugs me, it should be obvious users needs the flexibility to swap whatever OSX version they need. It is still software.
    So, how can I download but not install Mountain Lion on my newer MBP that came with preinstalled Mavericks?
    I would like to see answers like:
    "In order to get this to work, you first have to disable the locking mechanism in [...] " instead of "No, this is impossible to do"
    Regards

    Thanks for your reply Eric
    Can't help wondering thought, people are ok with this?
    Basically Apple are saying: "Do not attempt to install an older version of OSX which came preinstalled. If so, expect multiple failures." Really?! Has it always been so? For me it's not like I'm going to install Snow Leopard on my Late 2013 Retina MBP, but I would expect some form of backward compatibility between the previous version and it successor. Apparently this is not possible, and how is this even acceptable? 
    Personally, I am not going to downgrade, as if I had a choice, but I would and I expected however, the possibility to at least download the previous OSX version. What do you do if you have bought several applications, not necessarily online from App Store and buy yourself a new Mac with preinstalled Mavericks and after installing your "old" applications they fail to work properly? What do you do since downgrading apparently is not an option. So... again, what do you do? 
    If you don't have friends with an older Mac, you could be facing serious problems. And I'm not talking about gaming, but serious business. 
    I find this quite disturbing actually, and please tell me it's not so. There gotta be a way to do this?
    I simply want to download the OS but I expect some registry values (like windows' registry) keeps preventing this.
    It should be possible to simply download and not download and install in one operation, shouldn't it?
    Regards

  • Remote desktop not working on mountain lion

    My ARD does not work on Mountain Lion. The software opens but all I get is the menu at the top, and my only working option is to quit. I spoke to Apple support and they suggest (as they usually do) to reinstall the whole operating system, but I can't accept this as a valid answer as everything else works. There must be a way to fix this without having to reinstall a machine that came originally with Mountain Lion!

    I was able to fix my issue by just uninstalling ARD (I used AppZapper) - and just reinstalling it - no "Archive & Install" required - best of luck with your situation!

    Hi
    First, you are going to need v9.1.7 or later with Mountain Lion (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5421)
    Second
    To get the updaters to work several things MUST be correct:
    The Logic Application must be named "Logic Pro" or "Logic Express" (depending on which type you are working with) with NO Additional spaces or numbers in the name.
    The application must be at the root level of the Applications folder (and NOT anywhere else).
