Widget-iStat pro 3.0 beta 1

I downloaded the new version of istat pro earlier today, and it worked fine………………………for an hour! then it crashed, I reinstalled it, and it crashed again! I tried deleting it and downloading the prgram again, the same thing!!! I glanced at my system monitor after that, and noticed that it was running at full precceser power, but I had nothing running that would use that much power, when I looked closer I saw that istat pro 3.0 beta 1 was using 75% of my pc's power, even though it had crashed a few minutes ago, and supposedly wasn't running anymore, I force quit, and now here I am wondering if anyone else has had any problem with this, or other iSlayer widgets.
I used istat pro (2, not 3) for almost half a year without problems, and this new version looked awesome, but it doesn't work.
Any thoughts would be appreacaited.

Hi, mountainbike8.
You wrote: "Any thoughts would be appreacaited."Report the problem you experienced to the author of the widget.
As you stated it is a "beta" release, which means that the developer knows all the bugs are not yet worked out. When you install "beta" code, you're playing Test Pilot.
Then reinstall the previous version and wait for the "beta" to be removed from version 3.0.
Good luck!

IStat Pro Problem!

Hey so I just recently noticed that under the Network column on the iStat widget it says "Ext: Unknown." It's supposed to display my router's IP. So apparently iStat says my external IP is unknown. I think it may have to do with me installing the Tor bundle for Mac. I have uninstalled Tor and tried reinstalling iStat and I'm still having the problem. Anyone know how to fix this? Please help!
Thanks

Here's one way to fix this problem, as it appears the islayer has stopped running the "FindMyIP" service:
Open this file in a code editor:
~/Library/Widgets/iStat\ Pro.wdgt/scripts/core.js
find this function:
function getExtIP(){
Replace this line:
ipURL = 'http://whatsmyip.islayer.com/?random='+new Date().getTime();
with this line:
ipURL = 'http://www.whatsmyip.us/showipsimple.php?random='+new Date().getTime();
Just above this "if" statement:
if(extIP.length < 20 && ipConnection.status == 200 && extIP.match(/\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}/)){
Add these 2 lines:
extIP_len = extIP.length;
extIP = extIP.substring(16, (extIP_len - 3));
so that section would now appear:
extIP = ipConnection.responseText;
extIP_len = extIP.length;
extIP = extIP.substring(16, (extIP_len - 3));
if(extIP.length < 20 && ipConnection.status == 200 && extIP.match(/\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}/)){
Note that you will have to restart the iStat widget by either using "-" and "+" to re-add it, or just hold down Command-R while clicking on a Widget. They'll spin like a black hole and restart.

Hardware Monitor vs. iStat Pro widget

Hi,
I'm going to be upgrading the fan on my video card (7800GT) later today. Before I do that, I'd like to get "before" temperature and rpm readings for everything to compare to "after" readings. I have never used Hardware Monitor or the iStat Pro widget.
Which is better for a Quad-- Hardware Monitor or iStat Pro widget? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!
William

So iStat is more than sufficient for getting my temps and rpms? I'd like to get the rpms just to see what's going on with the fans.
I purchased the Zalman VF700-Cu, it should be arriving today. Yeah, I saw the VF900, too. It looks like it'll fit just fine (while blocking one slot- same as the VF700), but seeing as I know others have already successfully installed the VF700 and it seems to cool well enough (and it's a touch less expensive) I figured I'd just stick with the VF700. Also, the little controller that comes with the VF900 seems like a nice option, but I'd just find a good speed and leave it. I wouldn't be constantly changing it. And while the VF900 fan looks nicer than the VF700, that controller is a bit unsightly in addition to cluttering up the computer.

IStat Pro widget shows gradual increase in RAM usage

I have the iStat Pro widget on my dashboard. every time i open up the dashboard, it shows that i have less and less RAM free, which obviously worries me, since whenever I open up dashboard i am idle; im not doing anything besides reading a webpage, or just charging my iPod. I would understand if there is less RAM while i am working with my pictures, but it does worry me. Please help, anyone that can, I greatly appreciate the help :-)!

Any running process on the Mac may consume more RAM over time. Safari and other browsers especially will use more RAM over time. However, free RAM is misleading as an indicator of whether you're running out of memory. Available RAM is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. Although you may notice that Free RAM may decrease over time, you still have plenty of available RAM when you include Inactive RAM. See the following:
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.

Where I can download istat pro widget?

where I can download istat pro widget? Because it doesn't work with apple.com.

Glad to see it was the right link and sorry I am late in replying. Something wrong with notifications tonight; half of them have not come through. That GPU diode reading is almost double mine but not too serious. Here is some reading that may be more helpful than mere comments.

IStat Pro location (not in widgets) under Mountain Lion?

I like and use iStat Pro. Under Mountain Lion the Processes no longer show up.
I contacted Bjango for support and they sent me an email stating that they are discontinuing iStat Pro.
I found a simple fix at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=15332289&postcount=20
My problem is that I cannot locate the code to change. My Macintosh HD/Library/Widgets has no istat pro. I tried Spotlight and the only istat pro that shows is the download istat_pro_4.92.zip. Is my spotlight broken? thx

Every User has and has always had a Library folder. When Lion came out, Apple decided to have it hidden because some very important files are in there and if you don't know what you are doing, you could really mess things up. If someone directs you to "/Library" or "/Macintosh HD/Library" they mean the (not hidden) system library folder. If they say "~/Library" they mean the hidden User Library folder.
Not sure how to make spotlight search the hidden folder. You can unhide it permanently by entering this command into terminal:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
After you do this, the Library folder will appear in your home folder.

IStat Pro System Monitoring Widget

The answer is here...nearly...looks like we may have a great system widget...
I just found this widget on Apple:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
"We get alot of emails asking about support for intel based macs in iStat Pro and iStat nano. At this stage there is no support for fan or temperature sensors in Intel based Macs in either widget. We will add support for cpu temps via the SpeedIt kernel extension in the next round of updates".

Hey. Yeah, what's goin on here. Is the widget supposes to show is temp as well? It didn't work on mine. Everything is working thou except temperature.

Istat Pro "Processes" doesn't work since upgrade to OS X 10.8.2

Ever since I upgraded the OS to 10.8, the istat Pro widget on the dashboard doesn't list anything but a stack of empty white squares under "Processes". Is this a known bug?

Thanks CT! Here are the steps from the macrumors.com link:
Steps:
1. Locate your widget, it will be under /Library/Widgets or ~/Library/Widgets
2. Right click it and select: "Show Package Contents"
3. Open Wide.js or Tall.js file in some editor (Wide is for horizontal view, Tall for vertical)
4. Locate the line
Quote:
WideSkinController.prototype.updateProcesses = function(){
var _self = this;
var exclude = "";
if(p.v("processes_excludewidgets") == 'on')
exclude = " grep -v DashboardClient | "; if(p.v("processes_sort_mode") == 'cpu')
widget.system('ps -arcwwwxo "pid %cpu command" | egrep "PID|$1" | grep -v grep | ' + exclude + ' head -7 | tail -6 | awk \'{print "<pid>"$1"</pid><cpu>"$2"</cpu><name>"$3,$4,$5"</name></item>"}\'', function(data){ _self.updateProcessesOut(data);});
else
widget.system('ps -amcwwwxo "pid rss command" | egrep "PID|$1" | grep -v grep | ' + exclude + ' head -7 | tail -6 | awk \'{print "<pid>"$1"</pid><cpu>"$2"</cpu><name>"$3,$4,$5"</name></item>"}\'', function(data){ _self.updateProcessesOut(data);});
Change "PID|$1" to "PID| $1" (Add space before $ sign)
5. Save the changes
6. remove widget and re-add it Dashboard, and it should be fixed

Anyone know where to get istat pro?

I would like to keep an eye on my memory on my macbook and I saw a youtube video about a widget called istat pro and was wondering where is the best and safest place to download it from? Everywhere I have tried will not load so I was wondering if anyone knows anywhere I can download it from?

iStat Pro 4.92 or iStat Menus 4.06.

How to view iStat Pro info

I installed iStat Pro as a widget but when I open it the temps section only shows a few of the possible readings. How can I get it to expand so that I can view all of the memory module temps? I've looked around in settings and looked at the manual but it doesn't say how to make the view show more information. Thanks for any advice.

Click on the small i on the left hand side and then click on the display tab. Choose what you want displayed and then click done.

How do you update iStat Pro to the Snow Leopard version?

Went from 10.5.8 to 10.6.1 - do i need to do anything to iStat Pro?
Thanks.

Only with iStatMenus or MenuMeters. You will need to download the updates for them. iStat Pro is a widget so it still works with Snow.

Istat pro download issue

I went to the widget store-thing on Apple.com and tried downloading Istat Pro (version 4.92 I believe), but it wont let me, anyone know how to download it?

This works: iStat Pro 4.92

Istat pro is invisible

So I pulled up my widgets and the istat pro was gone. I clicked on the "x" to manage my widgets and there was an "x" on the top left corner where the istat pro was supposed to be. So I clicked the "x" and then added another istat, but that one was invisible as well. What is goin on?

First of all, look in Users/(your name)/Library/Preferences. You should find widget-com.iSlayer.iStatpro4.widget.plist in the folder.
I can't tell you honestly what the issue is, but a fresh install from the web should fix things.

IStat Pro Battery Health 100% No Way!?

iStat Pro seems to be functioning correclty I have removed and reset it, but I continues to display 100% Battery Health. It also says I am 123 Cycles in, and I have had this laptop for some time now.
1. More then likely this is not the correct information, but how do I get this widget to display the correct info?

islayer.com states...
"What is battery health?
This is a comparison between your current battery capacity and the capacity of it when it was new. For example, if your battery lasted 5 hours when it was new, a figure of 50% suggests you should get 2.5 hours out of your battery now.
As you can see, battery health isn’t something you have control over and there’s not much you can do to change the figure without buying a new battery. Don’t worry about it though, it just means that your battery doesn’t last as long as it used to."
My System Profiler States...
Battery Information:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 5356
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 5356
Amperage (mA): 133
Voltage (mV): 12590
Cycle Count: 126
iStat Pro displays 100% Battery Health. How is this possible with almost a year of solid use and 126 cycles.

Istat pro and my read outs...

i just put in another gig of ram a few weeks ago and am getting the following reading from istat pro for ram usage:
wired: 146mb
active: 479mb
inactive: 1.36GB
free: 2gmb
what exactly does this mean and what can be done to make it better... it looks to me that im not getting everything i should be... any thoughts?

That's not right, the 4 values should total 2.02GB e.g.
Does Activity Monitor show the same thing?
Tried re-seating the RAM?
