How to use the activity monitor?

Can I use the activity monitor active processes against a list of processes that are supposed to be here vs not and if so, can someone point me in the direction where the default process for comparison?

You have a problem or if you are curious?  I think that etrecheck would be a better choice.  You could start your mac in safe mode to see what is typical.  There is a lot of process.  I have internet google with the name of the process.  is going to be a bit tedious for all 185 or let etrecheck aside.

You can run etrecheck, by default, it leaves aside the common process of apple.

Download etrecheck.  Click the link to download at the bottom of the screen.

  • Portege R600 - how to use the external monitor on the docking automatically

    Hi - I just got a new Portege; R600-102. It's a great machine - very light and fast.

    I connect to a Slim port replicator to the office and I wish I could anchor and automatically use the external monitor without opening the laptop. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do it? This process has worked well on my recently retired Dell X 300.

    More precisely:
    # I have the laptop closed Portégé and standby mode
    # I anchor in the Slim Port Replicator (SPR)
    # I press the button 'on' on the SPR
    # I see the message "recovery windows" and the bars of the countdown on the external monitor. (So I know it's connected and you can see the external monitor)
    # The laptop turns on but use the laptop screen (private) LCD
    # I have to open it and manually tell it 'out to watch.
    What can be automatically?

    Thanks for the tips.

  • I have a strange problem with my RAM supported by installers. When I check the activity monitor, 3 installers are open and they start around 80 MB memory RAM used for about 7 or 10:08 minutes or so.

    I have a strange problem with my RAM supported by installers. When I check the activity monitor, 3 installers are open and they start around 80 MB memory RAM used for about 7 or 8 concerts after 10 minutes. I have to force them to quit, but I don't know what I am closing or why they open in the first place. Applications downloaded on iTunes?

    In addition, the Console has opened with the same message several times, but I don't know what that means.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    The last is a picture of the Terminal window.

    Just because it lists 'Console' does not mean that it has nothing to do with this application.

    You have not said why or what you're trying to install so I can't help with that.

    You can use the activity monitor to leave their.

    After you select an item, use the X in a type of stop sign icon and confirm force quit.

  • How to use the functions of SetValue executeScript activity.

    Hello

    Could someone let me know how to use the function activity setValue (serialize concate, count etc) in activity executeScript. What all liberaries I need to import to executeScript. I want to perform the same task in executeScript performed in the setValue activity.

    Concerning

    Sunil Gupta

    Forgive me if I seem obtuse, but why would you use XPath functions (is that serialize, concat, and count) when there are perfectly good Java alternatives that will be much easier to use.  Java is, after all, the language used in the executeScript.  Serialize is just toString(), CONCATENATE is just + or. concat() (I assume that you are running on Java 6 web application server).  The count function is just the length() or size() methods or to the tables, the length property.  If you really need to reorganize in a variable of the XML data using a XSL stylesheet - you have access to all the functions in XPath 1.0 and XPath 1.0 power and you do not need to tinker with the headache of trying to debug Java in an environment (Workbench), which does not give you the tools that you would normally , as a contextual Editor.

  • How to disable the Satellite A200-Ah7 screen while using the external monitor

    Is it possible to turn off the monitor on the laptop Toshiba A200-Ah7 while I use a second monitor?

    It's embarrassing to have the laptop monitor on at the same time.

    Thank you.
    Gary

    Hmm, I think that's not possible, but have you tried to press FN + F5 several times?
    Is it only a CRT monitor available?
    The monitor CRT, external display and if only that is available, then you could try to choose this.

    Otherwise, you can close the lid if you do not use the internal monitor

  • How can I remove megabackup from the activity monitor?

    I am trying to remove the megabackup from my laptop in the activity monitor, and it won't work. Tried both quit and force them to leave.

    "MegaBackup" is an application of unworthy of trust-storage cloud or perhaps real malware. I have not tried to make this distinction. To remove it, please start back up all the data (not with the MegaBackup himself, of course). Then take the steps below.

    1 Select the elements of the connection tab in the users pane and groups of system preferences. Remove all elements with a name starting in 'MegaBackup '.

    2 log off or restart the computer.

    3. slide the MegaBackup application in the Applications to the trash and empty folder.

    Note that you cannot delete any application trying to drag its icon from the LaunchPad or the Dock. You must open the Applications folder in the Finder.

    You may have installed ad-injection with MegaBackup malware. If you don't see unaccustomed pop-up in a web browser, ask for additional instructions.

  • Disappears from the main window of the activity monitor

    I'm under El Capitan 10.11.5, 15F34 build on an iMac (retina, 5K, 27 inch, mid-2015). If I open the activity monitor, I get the CPU usage, but the main window will briefly appear and disappear. If I minimize and restore, I also get it for a fraction of a second and then it seems to fall back on the dock. The history of CPU option (cmd 3) is grayed out, although I can get it as the icon in the dock.

    My question, then, is what caused this problem and how to restore to normal activity monitor?

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

How to use the license acquired from Win 7 cd to be used on my WinXP? I could not afford a complete reinstallation because several drivers needed to work on my pc do not work with Win7.

    Thank you!

    Hello Emerson_1

    Microsoft does not sell Windows 7 with a downgrade to Windows XP and a valid key. You will need to provide your own key. This option is only available with OEM Windows 7 Professional systems. If you wish to continue using XP you will need 2 keys as indicated by JW.
    Windows 7 offers XP mode and you can use it if you have chosen.
