Applications :: IStat Menus Is A Paid App?

Apr 28, 2010

was surprised to see iStat menus is now a paid app. So if I update, I'll have to buy it.

Its a nice app, but I'm not sure if its needed, even if its only 10 bucks.

Anyone else care to chime in on this?

Don't get me wrong, if I like an application, I'll buy it. I've purchased delta walker (compare utility) and will be upgrading my transmit to version 4.

Its just this type of eye candy - is it worth 10 bucks (that's the discounted price, it will go up)

Applications :: IStat Pro - How To Use SMART Update Interval

Nov 14, 2010

In iStat Pro, what's the purpose of setting "S.M.A.R.T Update Interval" to something other than "off"? I understand that this may cause iStat to query SMART in my HD (MBP Early 2009) at the set time interval. But what does that give me? iStat doesn't show any new info anywhere after I set the update interval to 5 mins. At least, I haven't noticed anything new. Is it supposed to display the HD temperature somewhere? Is there something else I have to turn on? I'm using iStat Pro 4.9.

Applications :: IStat Menus And Time Capsule?

Sep 8, 2008

Does anyone know if it is possible for me to monitor my Time Capsule's hard drive and temperature with iStat menus version 1.3?

I used to monitor the disk space on an old external HD with iStat, but I can't even do that with my Time Capsule.

Applications :: IStat Pro Temp Categories On Unibody MBP?

Feb 13, 2009

I'm wondering if anyone with a unibody Macbook Pro can tell me what temperature categories show up in their iStat Pro dashboard application. I have never gotten ones such as Airport card and am wondering if it's just the application or something to do with my airport card.

Applications :: IStat Not Showing GPU Diode Temperature?

Sep 29, 2009

I use iStat to keep an eye on the temperature of my macbook pro.

I noticed today that the temperature of my gpu diode dropped to -128 degrees Celsius. I decided that I should probably update my mac OS from 10.5 to 10.6. So I used my university's net install to install 10.6.

I updated iStat to version 2.0. Then I noticed that GPU diode does not even show up in the menu. Therefore I downloaded Temperature Monitor and the GPU diode still does not show.

However the GPU diode will sporadically show up. however, it has not shown up in a while now.

I can still see the temperature of the GPU heatsink however.

Does this mean that the GPU diode is bad? Or did the mac os X disable the reading of the GPU diode?

If the GPU diode temperature sensor did go bad, is there any problems with running the laptop without getting it fixed?

Applications :: IStat Network Menu And New IMac

Oct 26, 2009

I use iStat menus to show my network upload and download speeds. I got my new 27" iMac yesterday and installed iStat Menus and for some reason the Up/Down speeds from the Airport do not register at all. I have iStat set to the Airport as the only option and is the priority. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iStat Menus and still no luck getting anything to work.

Applications :: Great IStat Menu Alternative

May 2, 2010

So now that iStat is a paid app (don't get me wrong I like the app but thats not what this thread is about) I went looking for an alternative app with the same functionality, but free I came across MenuMeters and it is VERY similar, lightweight, and best of all its free.

Applications :: IStat Menus 3.0 Battery Meter Not Accurate?

Sep 17, 2010

I just upgraded to iStat Menus 3.0, and was trying to use the new Battery meter. I was running on Battery when I installed it, and I was comparing it to the Apple meter to make sure it matched, and the % and time remaining was identical. Then I plugged my MacBook in, and iStat said it had like 3:00 hours remaining to a full charge, and the Apple meter said like 1:48. I let it discharge completely thinking that might help, but its still messed up. Right now iStat says 2:03 remaining, and Apple says 1:05. Both of the percentages are at 77%. Anyone else having this problem, or know how to fix it?

Applications :: Applescript To Reset Network Usage In IStat Pro

Jan 14, 2009

Is it possible to reset the total bandwidth used for downloads and uploads in iStat pro via an applescript?

I use it to monitor my internet usage since they cap it at my school to a couple gigabytes a day. Since I went over once and was given a warning, my second offense would be no internets from anywhere from a week to a year.

I would use the application Lingon to automatically run the applescript every day at midnight.

Right now the only way to reset the counter is to restart my computer which is bothersome and time consuming

If anyone could point me in the right direction as to the file it uses to store network usage info I could probably figure out how to write the applescript myself.

Applications :: IStat Menus - Does Not Display Network/bandwidth Data?

Feb 10, 2010

I'm running the latest iStat Menus (2.0) on Snow Leopard 10.6.2. All the displayed data shows just fine with the exception of the Network (bandwidth) menu. The graph does not reflect bandwidth being used and the "KB/s" displays a constant "0.0KB/s." I've tried rebooting and I've also tried manually selecting "Airport" in the General Settings in iStat Menus' Preference Pane.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

(iStat Pro, the widget version of this program, displays the bandwidth data though.)

Applications :: Different Temperature Readings In IStat And Temperature Monitor?

Jan 4, 2011

I noticed that iStat and Temperature Monitor report different temperatures for the same readings on my G5 Powermac Dual Processor System. For example as I am writing this Temperature Monitor is saying My CPU A is 46.8C and CPU B is 46.7C. In iStat it says CPU A is 55C and CPU B is 54C. Which is right!?

Mac Pro :: IStat Menus CPU Temp Backwards?

Dec 29, 2010

I have a 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 with dual Xeon 2.66GHz. One of my favorite apps on my Macs is iStat Menus for which I purchased a family pack. I am running latest version 3. However, when I added it to my Mac Pro I am getting goofy CPU temp readings. At idle I am reading about 60C on one CPU and 55C on the other. But then if I fire up all the cores (Handbrake for example) then the reported CPU temps DROP to about 48C and 43C (notice same differential of 5C between CPUs). All the fan speeds stay the same so it is not extra cooling kicking in. Seems to be reading the wrong thing.

I know with Intel that the CPU just reports the distance to Tjmax and then the software reading that number takes the TjMax reading for that particular CPU model and figures out the corresponding Tj. It almost seems to be what is happening is that iStat is reading the "distance to TjMax" and reporting that without doing the math. That would account for the reading working backwards I suppose.

OS X :: IStat Reading Different From Activity Monitor

Sep 15, 2009

Using SL. I installed iStat and it reports less "wired memory" being used than Activity Monitor. Right now iStat reports: 449MB wired, 515MB active, 364MB inactive and 2.45 GB free. Activity Monitor reports: 706MB wired, 515 MB active, 364MB inactive and 2.45 GB free. Also, our school macs are at a whopping 100MB wired, whereas I'm always above 500MB.

MacBook Air :: IStat Menus Are Wrong?

Oct 25, 2009

Just a strange occurrence this evening: I just watched a DVD on superdrive: when it finished, I ejected it and glanced at my Finder menu bar. IStat Menus gave me a temp of 135 and rising (went as high as 140 degrees a few minutes after ejecting and shutting down DVD Player). But the fans aren't on at all--never came on, as far as I can tell--and the MBA feels cool to the touch. Now it's maybe 20 minutes later and iStat reads temps as still at 115 degrees. But my laptop feels totally cool to the touch. I restarted, hoping to reset iStat, but no change. Any idea as to what's going on?

OS X :: SL: Finder And IStat Showing Conflicting Info?

Aug 28, 2009

According to Finder, my hard drive has 83.69GB available.According to iStat, my hard drive has 77.94GB available.With the 7GB freed up from installing Snow Leopard, iStat seems like the one that should be correct, seeing as how I had ~68GB or free with Leopard.Which one should I trust, and why is there a discrepancy?

Mac Pro :: IStat Menus And Mac Pro (no Power Consumption Displayed)?

Nov 22, 2009

so this is the issue. I've always used istat menus to monitor my computer usage i.e. RAM, CPU, Fans, power, etc. With my old 2008 Mac Pro istat used to display how much power it was using however with my 2009 Mac Pro it doesn't. It displays 0 Watts throughout. Any ideas on how to solve this. I'm really curious with regard to how much power this system uses.

MacBook Pro :: Alternative To IStat (see CPU Speeds And Temperatures)?

Apr 29, 2010

So apparently every time I restart, iStat pops up annoyingly and tells me its now a paid program, and I don't want to pay for it. Are there any alternatives to see my CPU speeds and temperatures, also my memory usage in the top bar? I want something that I can always see.
