A good program to clean register of my mac?

I need some advice with a program that cleans my memory register.
Thank you very much

How to maintain a Mac
Make two or more backups of all your files
One backup is not enough to be safe. A copy of a backup doesn't count as another backup; all backups must be made directly from the original data.
Keep at least one backup off site at all times in case of disaster. Backing up to a cloud-data service is one way to accomplish this, but don't rely exclusively on such backups.
In fact, don’t rely exclusively on any single backup method, such as Time Machine.
If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
Keep your software up to date
In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Don't install such modifications unless they're absolutely necessary. Remove them when they are no longer needed. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all system modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of difficulties with system updates.
Don't install crapware
...such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac," "TuneUpMyMac," and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
As a rule, you should avoid software that changes the way other software works. Plugins for Photoshop and similar programs are an obvious exception to this rule. Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Only install software that is useful to you, not (as you imagine) to the computer. For example, a word processor is useful for writing. A video editor is useful for making movies. A game is useful for fun. But a "cache cleaner" isn't useful for anything. You didn't buy a computer so you could clean caches.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts
Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions.
Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
Avoid malware
"Malware" is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but it's now increasingly common and dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against malware, but you can’t rely on it—the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party "anti-virus" products for protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness—not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
Don't fill up your disk or SSD
A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a startup failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
Relax, don’t do it
Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime for maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform.
A well-designed computing device is not something you should have to think about much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that needs a lot of attention just to keep going, use a PC, or collect antique cars.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • Does anybody have any experience with keyloggers and a good program to detect one on your mac? I think I may have one.

    So yesterday I found out that my email address password had been changed. I don't remember doing this, but it is possible I changed it a while back and considering I keep my email constantly logged in. But at the same time, two of my apps were trying to access their "store". I play a game called League of Legends, which has an online store, and it randomly came up with the message "Could not connect to Maestro" (credit card). Then, Itunes (which I rarely use) came up with "sorry, we could not continue with your purchase". I think it's very strange that all of this happened at the same time, but hopefully it's a case of a forgotten password and two games bugging/crashing. I scanned my entire computer with iantivirus and it hasn't found anything, but I've heard keyloggers can be a bit hard to detect. Does anybody have any experience with keyloggers and if so, what program did you use to detect and destroy it?

    If you think that a keylogger has been installed the only safe thing you can do is erase your drive and reinstall.
    I don't think that is the case however.

  • I need a good program for merging MP4 files on Mac, i need a program that wont mess up the sound?

    Hey, pal. If you are using a Mac, I think aprofessional MP4 video joiner for Mac would be the best choice, which cancombine MP4 Video and output to iPod (also to Quicktime, iMovie, iPhone...).
    It was recommended by lots of famous mac-relatedsites, such as macworld.com, macnn.com, maclife.com, etc. You will never knowhow powerful it is. It’s the best all-in-one Mac converter I have used ever.
    Glad to share. And you can find the truthon  official website:http://imp4converter.com/mp4joiner_mac.html

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior.  Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible. An outstanding source of information is OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.)
    If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion or later.)
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner.
      2. Data Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. SyncTwoFolders
      6. Synk Pro
      7. Synk Standard
      8. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.

    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space.

  • Is there an Apple program to "clean" my Macbook?

    This MacKeeper program keeps popping up at me and apparently it's no good.  Is there an Apple program to "clean" my computer and make any needed fixes?

    First, AVOID MACKEEPER LIKE THE PLAGUE
    Why? Because it WILL BECOME a plague to your Mac if you install it.
    Aside from Disk Utility's repair procedures, there's nothing in Mac that I know of that "cleans" per se like, for example, Windoze's own Disk Cleanup does.
    CleanMyMac's a good cleaner-outer though. I've used it periodically for a long, long time with no problems. BUT.... if you download, install & run it, stick with the CleanMyMac defaults. Don't go going clean-crazy or you'll likely blankey-blank up your Mac's OS's system files. And then it's restore-from-backup-time. IF you have a backup to restore from.
    I usually use the open-source Applejack repair & cleaning utility: http://applejack.sourceforge.net
    It's used in Single-User Mode (Command-S at the reboot or the startup chime). Hold down those two keys until the Mac's GUI screen disappears & a scary-looking black DOS-like screen shows up & white words start scrawling on your screen. Then let go. When the screen writeouts stop, type in "applejack" at the prompt & follow the steps.
    NOTE: The section to be cleaned that is *usually* most helpful to solving flakiness issues is the User Cache cleanout section. So though you don't have to enter your password, you MUST know what your Username's directory name is, *exactly,* because you've got to type out just that username.  In 10.9.x Mavericks though, you may have to type out the complete path to your User directory ([root]>Users>yourusernamehere
    Good luck, Derek. I hope this helps some.

  • Programs to clean up my Mac

    For what reason?
    For privacy issues for browsing there is (both) CCleaner for Mac and OnyX (corrupted caches also slow down the machine)
    For scrubbing the Empty Trashed files, there is Secure Empty Trash also Disk Utiltiy > Erase free Space but it only works on hard drives, not SSDs etc.

    There isn't a program to delete those files, but I would suggest using AppDelete to delete applications. It will remove all the files associated with the application.
    There really isn't that much maintenance needed. OnyX will cover most everything you need. Remember, if it ain't broke, don't break it!

  • Registered Server Program not being registered?

    Hi,
    first of all, I'm an ABAPer, not a Basis guy, so i apologize if i'm not giving all the info required to solve this issue.
    We have a program that's scheduled to run every morning at 4am. This program calls an RFC to XI and sends data to an external SQL database.
    it seems that EVERY Sunday, after full backups, the initial run of this program fails. If it fails, the job is run up to 3 more times. Almost 100% of the time, one of the successive runs works.
    And when I say a successive run works, I mean a duplicate job that's been kicked off, literally less than 1 minute later, will run fine.
    Also, the job will sporadically fail during the week on its first run, yet successive runs will work.
    it seems to me that there is a problem registering the program that my ABAP program calls.
    any ideas on what I ask my basis/XI team to check for?
    points will be awarded.
    thanks,
    rp.

  • Program ID not registered

    Hi,
    I am trying to test RFC connection but it is saying  " program ID not registered"  at gateway.
    I  registered in saprfc.ini file at gateway but still its not working.
    Please let me know if you have any idea where should I register it.
    Best Regards,
    Tushar

    I am not dure what is the setup you have in your env .
    To register a progid
    1.you have to have two separate applications
    say one is sap and second is xxx
    2.You have to register xxx applications prog id in sap.
    3.you have to have both applications up and running.
    4.It shall be a TCP/IP connection and register program id option in SAP system , define the gateway host and gateway service using sm59 .
    5.The application xxx shall have information about sap system.
    and then it works properly.
    Hope it helps.

  • "Program is not registered in xi " problem

    hello all,
    we get the error "Program is not registered in xi" when
    executing the "connection test" via transaction 'sm59' for the relevant RFC connection between our XI and ECC systems.
    the same test went fine earlier and just went wrong.

    This is the main issue. The TCP Gateway Host and service in the Sender RFC adapter will be that of your R3 system. Also make sure that the detdails in the sender RFC adapter are correct,
    Also try to deslect the option verify sender System , like I have mentioned above.
    And, in my sender RFC adapter, have not selected the option Unicode and SNC

  • Program B1IRFCxx not registered

    Following the steps in the Guide to generate R/3 Configuration to run SAP B1i... we have defined the RFC destination. But when pushing Test connection button we get the error 'program B1IRFC00 not registered'. This error is from the Gateway Error Codes groups, where it gets return code 679 - TP not registered.
    The program ID B1IRFC00 is the same as in B1i landscape initialization. On the other hand the Test connection from B1i Landscape initialization of R3 system works fine. Restart of Tomcat does not help.
    Has anyone idea how to overcome this issue?
    Thanks
    Lubos

    Lubos,
    OK ... but this link is different from the documentation that comes with B1i.  My thought was possibly you would find something based on this document.
    Also ... in your email ... you have three different environments.  I understand the frustration you are having, but can we pick one and try to troubleshoot that one.  Maybe #2 from your email?
    If we look at number 2 ... here are the areas that you need to verify ...
    1. Verify that the Apache Tomcat Server service is running and is using the Local account for login or an administrator login for the system.
    2. Verify that the DI API and specifically the JCO (Java Connector) is installed.
    Path = ...\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One DI API\JCO\LIB
    3. Verify in the SQL Server Configuration Manager > SQL Server 2005 Network Connections > Protocols for MSSQL Server, that TCP/IP is enabled and then also verify that the same is true for SQL Native Client Config > Client Protocols that TCP/IP is enabled.
    4.  The B1i start page you are connecting to is ...
    http://<server>:<port>/B1iXcellerator
    5. The login for B1i 2007A would be ...
    login = sa (SQL Server login)
    password = the MS SQL Server "sa" password NOT B1iadmin as in older version of B1i (unless that is the MS SQL Server password).
    See the B1i Troubleshooting Guide that I have sent you via email...
    Let me know,
    Eddy
