How to check CPU speed, remove or install softwares? I'm a newbi

Hi all,
I just purchased my MBP yesterday. I'm totally new to this machine. I don't know how to see CPU speed, RAM, or other hardwares on this computer. Also, I don't know if the apple button use for what? I press "apple" and nothing happens. Last, could someone tell me how to optimize the computer? I had 80GB but now I have only 57GB availble. I don't know why this MBP uses so much space.
Thanks again for all your help. I will have more questions for you
P/S: I couldn't find these info by search.

Hi y - Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Hi all,
I just purchased my MBP yesterday. I'm totally new to
this machine. I don't know how to see CPU speed, RAM,
or other hardwares on this computer.
click on the blue apple in the upper left corner of your display (a drop menu will open) then click on About This Mac.
a window pops up. some basic system info is shown there.
for all the add'l details, click on More Info...
that will open up the System Profiler which lists everything hardware- and software-wise...
the System Profiler is also sitting in Applications > Utilities, and you can also start it by double-clicking on its icon there..
Also, I don't
know if the apple button use for what? I press
"apple" and nothing happens.
the apple button on the keyboard is a "command key".
i.e. most applications will quit if you enter the key combination apple+Q.
save is apple+S, and so on.
Last, could someone tell
me how to optimize the computer? I had 80GB but now I
have only 57GB availble. I don't know why this MBP
uses so much space.
fairly typical. the default installation process writes language
localizations, many many printer drivers, and other things
you may not need. you can use the application monolingual
to remove language localizations that you don't want (download
it from versiontracker). printer drivers are generally smaller,
but some like keeping that to a minimum...
also if iLife is installed including GarageBand - there might be some GB of
'garageband loops' you might not need.
so, all in all, how much you might be able to clean up depends on how
you want to use your machine... post back w/ any details if you like...
Thanks again for all your help. I will have more
questions for you
P/S: I couldn't find these info by search.
enjoy your new machine!!! cheers

How to check CPU support

Wanting to upgrade with a new cpu or running into troubles after having already upgraded frequently the question comes up if the new cpu is supported by the board used.
Before asking about that with a post you should for yourself by just going to your mainboard's product site at msi.com
There just choose your board's category (AMD or Intel Platform) and click on your board's socket and choose your mainboard:
Is your board already out of production and not mentioned you need to click Archive instead of Intel/AMD platform:
In the following pop-up just enter the name of your board, click "search" and you will be directed to the archived product site:
When you finally opened your board's product site click on "support" -> "cpu support" and all supported cpus will be listed as well as the bios version with which support for the cpu has been implemented
Is your new cpu not listed there it is not officially supported which could result in all kinds of problems from just not recognising the cpu's name string to not booting at all. Buying an unsupported cpu is therefor a gamble and not recommended.
If the new cpu is listed, you need to check if the bios installed on your board is supporting the cpu or you need to update. To figure out what bios version you have, >>use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< if you want to upgrade a running system. After starting the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher it will automatically detect your board's current bios and save the details in a file on your desktop called MSIHQ_INFO.txt. There you can read up the exact bios version. Posting in a topic to get assistance you can quote this details to make it easier for others to help you
If you have just the board you can look for a tiny green sticker on the bios chip that has the version of the original bios it came with printed on it.
With new cpu generations coming up MSI usually creates microsites where you can lookup if your older board will support it.
Currently Intel platform users are wondering if their socket 1155 boards are supporting Ivy Bridge while AMD users want to know if their boards support AM3+ cpus (FX) or Vishera (2nd Generation FX) or Richland if FM2 is used. To answer if support is implemented or planned the following microsites can be checked:
>Socket 1155 supporting 22nm (Intel IVY BRIDGE)<
>AM3+ (AMD FX multicore processors) support<
>Vishera (2nd gen AMD FX multicore processors) support<
>FM2 Richland support<

Simply check the product site for cpu support (like instructed in "How to check CPU support"): http://www.msi.com/support/mb/890GXMG65.html#support-cpu

How to check SQL Mamagement studio is installed or not (any version) programatically

How to check SQL Mamagement studio is installed or not (any version) programatically?

Actually I tried this way..
Dim registryView As RegistryView = If(Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem, registryView.Registry64, registryView.Registry32)
Using hklm As RegistryKey = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, registryView)
'Dim instanceKey As RegistryKey = hklm.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\SQL", False)
If instanceKey IsNot Nothing Then Return True
Return False
' For Each instanceName In instanceKey .GetValueNames()

Primarily I'm thinking these patches would be Windows Vista/7/8 OS patches, but would include other Microsoft updates as well (eg. Office, etc.).

Doubts: how to check this patch which were installed in EPM HFM...

Dear Expert
I'm new to Configuration Management Service for EPM HFM.
And my doubt is how to find out which patch is installed on EPM HFM?
How can I find it?
thank you

In EPM System Release 11.x, you can use the lsinventory command to OPatch to find the release and patches that are installed in an Oracle Home. For example, enter the following command on one line:
Windows:
opatch.bat lsinventory -oh <EPM_ORACLE_HOME> -jdk <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/jdk160_29
You can also check the Patch levels by;
Workspace -> Help -> About Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Workspace, Fusion Edition -> Show Details

How to check CPU % Utilization with SNMP

We are using Ipswitch's What's Up Professional 2006 to monitor devices on our network. Their default snmp graphing utilities use the HOST RESOURCES MIB to collect and graph system performance statistics over time. I have them running perfectly on all my Windows servers, but for my Solaris systems I am only able to retrieve Memory, Disk, and Network Interface statistics. The CPU monitor is unable to retrieve data from our Solaris systems. A typical system is running Solaris 10 with the default agent, NET-SNMP version 5.0.x. Does anyone know if the default agent supports checking CPU usage in the HOST RESOURCES MIB? If not can anyone point me to a different MIB & instance that will return % CPU utilization of a Solaris 10 server? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I've searched everywhere for the solution but I am unable to find any straight-forward answers, hopefully someone can help.

Hi
You can do it via T Code ST02.I am sending you a link hope it help you

How to stop the recover manager to install "software & driver" on Mini 110c-1147NR

Hello all, I need to recover my Mini 110c-1147NR to the original manufacturer default OS. Here is what I have tried: 1> Launch recover manager 2> select to recover the system back to the original manufacturer status 3> OS installation is completed 4> When the recover manger starts to install "software + driver", it fails the last minutes. I have tried many times it always fails in the last part. Question> Is there a way that I can stop the automatic installation of "software + driver" on my Mini 110c-1147NR since I know how to install those software manually. I have tried to kill the recover manager through taskmgr, but the system immediately restarts and continue any try. Any suggestion? thank you

As long as these software links are up, this problem should be considered "answered".

How to check the speeds of internal fans

Hello. Concerning the defective logic board that causes fans to run fast, some people have implied that there are applications that allow you to check the RPMs of internal fans. I searched MacUpdate and VersionTracker with no vail. Does anyone know of any such application?
Thanks.

The mentioned aps are very good. But if you just want a quick check of the fan speeds, open a terminal window and type the following command:
ioreg -w 0 -n IOHWControl|grep "target-value\|location"
The output is the following:
| | | | "location" = "System Fan"
| | | | "target-value" = 1700
| | | | "location" = "CPU fan"
| | | | "target-value" = 1500
| | | "location" = "Hard Drive"
| | | "target-value" = 2300
| | | "location" = "sysclk slew"
| | | "target-value" = 0
Steve
PS - those are the normal fan speeds for my 20-inch ALS

How to check Exadata plug-ins are installed and running?

Hi ,
I have quarter rack Exadata set-up. I wanted to check whether i have Exadata plug-ins already installed and running or not ?
Is there any way to confirm this ? I can see grid control running on separate host and several other production dbs are registers with it for monitoring. But not sure whether Exadata db is registered to it or not ? I believe, i need to install agent and additional plug-ins to have it monitored via grid control.
Can i check that ? Is there any way ?
I am new to OEM and yet have not explored it.

I haven't worked with Exadata myself but the installed plug-ins should be visible under Setup (upper-right-corner of the Grid Control Home page), Management Plug-ins.
