Custom Install for Production Computer

Hello, I have a few rather simple questions that I am hoping someone can help me with...
1. I am adding a new MacPro to the mix for production work (photoshop, Indesign, Lightroom etc..) and I would like to drastically dumb down the machine to just run a few graphic/image programs. I don't want it to have anything else installed (garageband, mail, ICal etc....)
I will have it connected to the internet so I am able to update the software but I don't want it to have any browsers installed for internet access.
It has been a few years since I installed my OS and I can't remember exactly what the options are....So what I am wondering is what is the best way to do this? Can I choose not to install them when the system arrives "preinstalled" or should I just uninstall everything that I do not want?
I know this seems like a simple question but I do not consider myself a computer wizard.
2. On my current machine I have a lot of customization such as keyboard shortcuts, photoshop actions, program settings etc.... is there a way to transfer that information easily over to the new machine, since it will be configured very similar
3. I plan on getting the machine with the 640Gb drive but I have considered putting my 250gb SATA2 drive in slot one to keep the OS and software separate and then moving the new 640Gb to slot 2 just for file storage. My reasoning for this is I am currently not using that 250Gb drive and it would give me a little more space...and probably keep my system a little cleaner. is there any advantage/disadvantage to this?
4. I don't know a whole lot about disk images but could I essentially create an image of the 250Gb main OS drive and then if I ran into any sort of hard drive failure I could replace the drive, restore it and that way I wouldn't loose all of my custom settings? The 640Gb would be copied daily to an external drive (I have a RAID setup in my current machine with 2 1Tb drives but I do not want to RAID this machine).
Basically I want to try and have this system set up in the most optimal way to protect my data, keep everything clean and run my programs smoothly.... so any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated...
Hope that makes sense... Thanks!

Thanks so much for the responses they are very helpful.

I do already have Chronosynch and it appears that is very similar to Super Duper?
From what I gather is Time machine requires a drive approx 3x larger?
Thanks I will look into Diskwarrior... I have never heard of it.

1. I do have other computers with internet access, this one I am just trying to isolate because in all honesty the internet can be a huge time waster for the bored or undisciplined...
Am I missing something I may require a browser for other than surfing the internet? I can do all software updates within the program.. But I would sure hate to remove it and then need it... although I can always reinstall.
2. thanks
3. Thanks.. makes sense
"I'd pull the 250GB as backup external off line, and fill the machine with 3 new drives for media, libraries, projects, scratch, editing."
Could you please explain more about the above?
No, I am not using Lacie drives. My RAID drives are Seagate Barracudas and it is configured in Disk Utility... and I am obsessed with backups.. I run a Chronosynch backup every few days of my whole 1tb drive... it is kept off site and I also have dvds of source files kept off site as well... I have even been known to carry a set of dvd's in my car or memory cards in my pocket so I have a duplicate off site copy just to run to the store in case the house burns down... lol. But I appreciate the concern.

  • Replicating Custom Fields for Products in CRM  from ECC

    Hi All,
    I am having difficulty in replicating SAP standard field values from ECC to custom fields for products in CRM. This is what i did:
    1. I created a new settype(ZMASTER_INFO) with a single attribute(ZIND_STD) and added
        this new settype to MAT_HAWA. (As all our materials fall under this material type).
    2. I am looking to map SAP standard field from ECC to this custom field of mine.
        I wrote the code in CRM BADI 
        'ZPRODUCT_CUSTOMER2->MAP_R3_TO_CRM_MATERIAL' with the following code:
    DATA: ls_ZMASTER_INFO TYPE ZMASTER_INFO_maintain.
    DATA: ls_category_bdoc       TYPE COMT_PROD_CAT_REL_MAINTAIN,
          ls_category            TYPE COMT_PROD_CAT_REL,

    Since in ECC i am not having any custom fields i did not write any code in ECC for TPS34 and TBE24. I just wrote this BADI in CRM and using the field S_MARA-STD_DESCR.
    I am not sure if i need to write the code in ECC. COUld anyone please confirm if i need the code in ECC?
    Also in the CRM BADI, lt_cat_settype_rel_all is EMPTY. Not sure how this gets its value.
    Could anyone please suggest if i am missing anything here? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Karuna.

    Hi Karuna,
    One more solution is to change the BDoc data content before it hit the Database.
    this can be done in badi: Data_Exchange_badi (if u dont find this try with following search string: xchange)
    In the above mention badi you will find a method which is used to populated the contend jst after bdoc in CRM is being populated by R/3 data.

  • Add a custom field for Product Allocation

    Hi experts,
    I have copied S140 to S501 to add a custom field for product allocation.
    I have added the custom field in MCVBAKUSR, so it is visible in MCVBAK.
    However, I don't know whether I can populate data into custom field. I searched in forum, someone said it can be done in SAP enhancement MCS10001. But it can't work. I have tried to place a break-point in the code, and seems that throughout the order creation and product allocation check, it hasn't get into the codings in enhancement MCS10001.
    Can anyone give me some idea on it? Thanks.

    You should have simply extended VBAK table. It would've taken care of extending MCVBAK, etc. Then VBAK field would have to be populated in a user exit USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAK in MV45AFZB, when a document is being created/changed.

  • Transfer Forecast data based on Customer information for product and plant

    Hi,
    This is the scenario.
    Our characterstics are Product,Plant and Customers
    and for 1 plant and product there may be 5 customers.
    My characterstics will be
    P1 L1 C1
    P1 L1 C2
    P1 L1 C3
    P1 L1 C3
    P1 L1 C4
    P1 L1 C5
    (P1-Product; L1 for Plant and C1,C2...are customers)
    Now forecast data will be different for different customers.
    I transfer demand from APO to ECC for PRoduct ,Plant and different customers.
    Then in ECC how to check for different customers.
    If you go to MD63 you can see for plant and product but not for customers.
    This is required as we are running MRP for that product for component planning.
    Thanks in Advance
    Raghavendra Pai

    Hi Ragvendra,
    In ECC we can transfer at material and plant level only and not information of customer. As you need for MRP run may be you can explore possibility of using some badi and get customer no in requirement plan number or some other feilds.
    Other option is planning with descriptive chartceristic in APO only. It is not possible to transfer demand with descriptive charcteristics to ECC.
    Here you can forcast demand on customer level. Transfer it as PIR with descriptive charcteristics to PPDS where you can plan for this demand.
    For information see link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/c1/147a375f0dbc7fe10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm.
    If your requirement is to transfer customer information to ECC from DP in standarad it is not possible as far as I know.

  • Custom Install on "My Computer" - Disabled?!?

    Okay so this is not one of my best mornings. I managed to delete my iTunes library (I thought it was a duplicate) and now when I try to load iTunes it won't work.
    No biggie I head over to Apple and download a new copy. I get as far as the Custom Install page and it won't let me click on the three things as it says next to them 'disabled'. I have about 30 GB available so I don't think its a memory issue.
    Does anyone know what I might have done?

    Remove the 'iTunesX.pkg' file from ./Library/Receipts.
    Try installing again. This time it should work.
    Did you delete the entire iTunes folder?
    Deleting the library should not prevent iTunes from operating.
    iTunes will create a new empty library, but operate as normal.

  • How to create custom adapter for Products and CommerceService

    Hi guys!
    First of all I wanted to say that I did search. Only relevant material I found was this http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/5-5/ecommerce/eCommerce-framework.html
    Unfortunately it doesn't go in details enough...
    I'm trying to follow geometrixx-outdoors example to create my shoppingCart. I have a list of of products in /etc/commerce/products.... referenced by productPage in content.
    But I don't know how to create custom CommerceProvider and Adapter to create proper Product objects - it always picks up geoProductImpl.
    As I understand I need to specify cq:commerceProvider to myProvider and then I need to somehow register MyProvider so it gets picked up.
    Also I guess I need to add MyProductAdapter somehow  so when shoppingCart executes following it returns my implementation instead of geoProductImpl.
    Product product = productResource.adaptTo(Product.class);
    I'd really appreciate if anyone could share an example or point me in the right direction for a guide.
    Cheers

  • Custom layout for product list view

    Hi all,
    Can I create a template .tpl that is assigned only to either the product detail or list view?......or has any created a workaround for this below?
    I want to display a list of products in a particular category, with a sub-menu down the left hand side of the page, but the detail view of the individual product to be across the full page width. I have several categories each with it's own sub-menu ( for the side).
    I currently have a few templates, containing the various side menus, formatted to display as I need, but of course, this layout gets assigned also to the detail view, which is what I don't want.
    Would be great to see other ideas.
    Thanks in advance. DC

    Thanks Liam,
    Do you have any info on when this might be happening? Hoping to have this site completed in 2 weeks. Best workaround option atm is to have separate pages ( with their custom side menus) with individually tagged products displayed. The detail view for the product can then have the full width view. - Bit of a long winded way around, but I don't see any other option if this is the desired result.

  • Customer Support For Product Malfunction

    Is there any type of dedicated Customer Support telephone number available - I am trying to upload a site I created in Muse & is being hosted by Business Catalyst. The Add To Cart Buttons do not function when posting the site live. I have been told by BC technical support that this is a muse software problem & to post on the forums where they were sure someone could provide an answer to why muse is scrambling up the code necessary to have a BC Ecommerce site. Well it has been 2 days & I have not received any help at all. I have an eCommerce site that is not functioning & am unable to get it live - I pay a lot of money to be part of the service & am greatly let down & highly stressed out on the fact I cant get an answer as to why the software doesn't work. I look like a complete moron in the eyes of my employer & am receiving a lot of trouble because of this issue. I have been told to stay here at work until I figure it out but have way to do so!

  • Search on the custom field in Product doesn't work

    Hello everyone!
    Lately I was configuring additional custom field for product header and succeed. Then I wanted to add this field as a search criteria for product search and I followed help on help.sap.com and note 1026956. Here are the steps I did:
    1. I've extended structures CRMT_PRIL_QUERY_ADVSEARCH_PROD and CRMT_PRIL_QUERY_ADVSEARCH_IOBJ with my custom attribute.
    2. I went to Master Data->Products-> Basic Settings ->Add Attributes to Search Structure and added my custom attribute there.
    3. Then I found out that it's not enough and I should perform additional steps not included in note and help. I did these steps suggested by Shanthala Kudva in thread [Can't enable the extendable set type attributes in product search UI|Can't enable the extendable set type attributes in product search UI;.
    After that I was able to configure UI and see the search criteria, but when I try to search using custom field I get error message: "Search criteria PRODUCT_ANKER.ZCAT_NUMBER in scenario CL_CRM_PRSEARCHSCENARIO_GETLST not included in tool/filter"
    How to find out the reason of this behavior? Did I miss something in configuration?
    P.S. Set type called ZPRODUCT, attribute ZCATNUMBER. In structures appended component called ZCAT_NUMBER with component type ZCATNUMBER. In table CRMC_PRSEA_ATTR the record has the attributename ZCAT_NUMBER, attribute_id ZCATNUMBER. Maybe I messed up with that?
    Regards,
    Alex.

    Hi Alexander,
    I know this is an old post, but currently i am facing the same issue of not being able to see my custom fields in the BSP Component Workbench.
    I tried to follow all steps maintained in SAP Note # 10269656 & 1541480, but no luck.
    Can you please tell me what do you mean by "Should not add the extended attributes directly to Search Structure, as SAP expects the attributes to be in APPEND structure"? Can you please let me know how the values are to be maintained in the Search structure table "CRMC_PRSEA_ATTR", which is also accessed using the IMG Meanu path "Master Data -->  Products --> Basic Settings --> Add Attributes to Search Structure"
    Appreciate your help.

  • Report for Production order list

    Dear all,
    I need your help..
    we have two plants in which we divided total qty of customer order for production
    now i want a list in which i got the details like which sale order and how much qty we punched in plant one and plant 2
    to compare total valve produced for customer
    how to find such kind of report..?
    which t code is helpfull.
    Neha

    If you're working with a MTO stg. (eg: 20), then the sales order details will be linked to the production order & you can then use COOIS report by specifying the sales order nos.
    But if you're working in a MTS environment, then there will not be a specific link between the Production order & the sales order, so if you have maintained the SO nos. in some field, then you will have to execute the COOIS report & then use the filter option on the field where you've maintained the SO nos.

  • Licence for install in company computer

    Hello, i have only one question. If company use Adobe Reader in him computer, for correct licence we need distribution agreement, or Reader is free for any use and any computer. We can get official information? We have problem with subscribe distribution agreement every year.

    "And we have problem with every year fill up distribution agreement."
    This is problem because we are Automotive business, we do not services or IT segment. Our primary business is produce products for automotive customer and not remember every year fill up document.
    !!!"I gave you a link to official Adobe information:http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/distribution.html!
    I read this information and sentence "Corporations and organizations that want to distribute Adobe Reader on a company intranet site or local network"  is about need agreement if company want distribute reader on his intranet. But we want only install, not  distribute.
    And site write about distribute not about install, and adobe write about install for personal use. I have chaos, because on any site do not write about  "If company want only install Adobe Reader, then Adobe reader is free"

  • Adobe Product Problems. Can't Install, or Uninstall programs. Also programs installed on my computer are not showing up in CC

    I have tried many times but, I can not install any adobe products onto my computer (It does meet system requirements). It always is gets an "Installation failed" error at 42% I also can not uninstall adobe programs. I have Adobe after effects installed and I have tried to uninstall it. A window comes up saying "Uninstall Failed" and gives me some trouble shooting tips which I have tried many times. Another problem is when I open up creative cloud my installed programs do not show up. For example I have Adobe After Effects but, in creative cloud it is listed as uninstalled and has a button that says "Try" even though it is already installed onto my computer. I have problems with the CreativeCloudCleaner too. I have tried using it to uninstall programs but, when I choose the option to delete adobe CC products it only gives me the option to delete Creative Cloud and no CC programs. These are problems I have been trying to fix for days but, I have not yet found a solution anywhere.
