I used to be able to select memory usage for the dock icon, but now it seems to be gone, or not there, in Mavericks. All I see now is CPU, Network, and Disk Activity. Anyone know where memory usage went?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
.....update, I found this answer on another post. (I may have to use third party options untill Apple provides an updated memory "pressure" usage to the dock icon.
This is no longer an option, especially since Mavericks has new memory management routines (ie, memory compression) that make the charting of memory usage less straightforward. Apple has switched to a new "Memory Pressure" approach to viewing memory usage, which is available in the Memory section of Activity Monitor, but so far has not been added as a Dock icon option. Hopefully Apple will do so, as this would perhaps be one of the more useful Dock icon options.
Missing the memory doc icon. Hopefully they will add memory pressure as an option soon. Although I just opened tons of apps and the memory pressure hasn't budged. They must be doing some memory magic.
@drviets - can you post the link to the source of your answer? Thanks.
BTW, there is further discussion at stackexchange - Activity Monitor in Mavericks “Show Memory Usage” dock icon gone?
can't see system ram/memory usage in Mavericks dock icon anymore
