MacBook Air :: IStat Menus Are Wrong?
Oct 25, 2009Just 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?

Apr 29, 2010So 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.

May 10, 2010got a problem, after i bought the new macbook pro 13'':
i noticed that the fan speed is always about 2000rpm... doesn't matter, whether the temperature is at 40�C or at 70�C or 80�C (my mbp doesn't get hotter)... always same rpm.
is that normal? additional info: i downloaded istat menus 3 which has the option to control the fan speed (i deactivated it... no changing... always 2000rpm). did istat crash the internal fan speed control?
MacBook Pro :: IStat Pro Makes Trackpad Unresponsive / Skips After Sleep
Jul 2, 2008Because it happened to me a few times where the cursor will skip or one time the cursor wont even move or be responsive with my finger. The weird part is that once I exit safari the trackpad seems to work again perfectly. Also not sure if its because I have sweaty hands and my fingers are too wet? But its not something excessively sweaty or nasty just a lil moisture I guess on my finger tips at times.
Update: Never mind, found out the culprit istat pro.
MacBook Pro :: IStat Menus Version 3.23 Not Working Correctly On Mid 2012?
Jun 29, 2012I purchased iStat menus for my MBP (no r) mid 2012 and it does not seem to work right. It seems to install ok without any messages popping up but once installed where I get the chosen options onto the menu bar I have a problem. When I click on say CPU or any of the others, a window shows the details but when I then click in that window, at the bottom on EDIT I get a message saying: Tried uninstalling iSta menus and reinstalling but no go.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), Mid 2012

View 3 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: IStat Menus CPU Temp Backwards?
Dec 29, 2010I 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.

Sep 15, 2009Using 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedApplications :: 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, 2010In 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 Not Showing GPU Diode Temperature?
Sep 29, 2009I 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, 2009I use iStat menus to show my network upload and download speeds.

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.

Nov 22, 2009so 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.

Applications :: IStat Menus 3.0 Battery Meter Not Accurate?
Sep 17, 2010I 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?
View 12 Replies View RelatedApplications :: Applescript To Reset Network Usage In IStat Pro
Jan 14, 2009Is 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.
