The Disk Activity Meter displays disk activity to local disks on the system (anything that is a IOKit BlockStorage driver). The menu for the CPU Meter contains several pieces of information I like to have a single click away (uptime, load average, open Process Viewer, open Console).
It can also graph user and system load and display the load as a "thermometer". The CPU Meter can display system load both as a total percentage, or broken out as user and system time. This means they can be reordered using command-drag and remember their positions in the menubar across logins and restarts. The MenuMeters monitors are true SystemUIServer plugins (also known as Menu Extras). Those monitors which used the menubar mostly used the NSStatusItem API, which has the annoying tendency to totally reorder my menubar on every login.

Most were windows that sat in a corner or on the desktop, which are inevitably obscured by document windows on a PowerBook's small screen. Although there are numerous other programs which do the same thing, none had quite the feature set I was looking for. MenuMeters is a set of CPU, memory, disk, and network monitoring tools for MacOS X. You could also play with setting up a new user account and importing parts of the old account to see if you can get a good working account without endangering your data.A set of CPU, memory, disk, and network monitoring tools for MacOS X Version: 1.4 Beta 3 / 1.3 With a clone you can mess with the system preferences the same way you did with the user prefs, without causing any new problems on your work drive. You can get pretty drastic if you've got nothing to loose. One thing, I cloned my drive and worked over the clone pretty well. Changing the setting reset it or caused a new preferences file to be built. So, even though I reinstalled the OS, some sort of networking preference must have been reused in the new installation. The problem machine was using a Static IP for many months, but I changed the IP number to another Static, it worked, then changed the IP number back to the original Static, it continued to work. Don't know why, but other computers were able to use the same static IP's fine. Ran Onyx and cleaned every cache setting known to Mac.įinally determined problem happened when network location set to Static IP, but not when Location set for dynamic IP. I went through all the motions, including user account testing, reinstalling and updating SL, etc. All browsers were having problems going to some sites. I recently had a issue with one of my iMac's and it's network settings. Now it's getting screwy, and looks like some sort of corruption. This kind of troubleshooting by isolation is the basics of determining problems with a user account. If the problem is still there, with the plists removed and you've logged into the account again, then there might be other places we could look for the damage.

If the problem is gone with your plists files removed then it's a matter of trial and error to find which one is causing your problem. If it does, then you've found where the problem is and can add preferences back into the folder in blocks of files and keep track of what you put back in the folder until the problem re-apears. The next step should have been to drag them to a folder on the desktop log out and back in and see if the problem goes away. In ~/Library/Preferences you've got many plists and other preferences. It's probably a corrupted or incompatible plist preference file in your user account. The problem is in your user account because you said in your first post that logging into a different account caused the problem to go away. Ok, re-installing 10.6.1 does not fix it.
