Best practice for preparation of install of Leopard from Tiger

Hi all, I am about to upgrade my iMac with an Archive and Install of Leopard 10.5 from Tiger 10.4.11.
I've done this dozens of times on other machines, but I never really thought about the best way to prepare for an install, I have already backed up this machine using Carbon Copy Cloner, is there anything else I should do before hitting the button?

Run the Disk Utility Repair function (or at least Verify), and also the Repair Permissions, which takes many minutes. This will help assure Integrity of your directory before you begin.
I am not sure why you are choosing to Archive and Install. An Upgrade install will be offered, and is thought to be just as effective, and can be a little more convenient in that your non-Apple Applications are not moved into the "Previous System" folder.
The absolute BEST practice would be (after you make TWO backups) to erase your Hard Drive with the Write Zeroes/Zero All Data Option. This will take many hours, but will force the drive to substitute spares blocks for any found to be defective after the Zeroing. But I must say that in the absence of error messages indicating disk trouble developing, this is incredible overkill. You asked, so I am answering the question as you asked it.

  • Best practice for data migration install v1.40 - Error 2732 Directory manag

    Hi
    I'm attempting to install SAP Best Practice for Data migration 1.40 on Win Server 2008 R2 (64 bit).
    Prerequisite error
    Installation program stops with missing file error
    The following file was not found
    ... \migration\InstallationWizard\BusinessObjects Data Services\setup.exe
    The file is necessary for successful installation. Please connect to internet or refer to Quick Guide (available on SAP note 1527151) for information regarding the above file.
    Windows installer log displays

    SAP note 1527151 does not exist or is internal.
    Any help appreciated  on what is the root cause of the error as the file does not exist in that folder in the installation zip file.
    Other prerequisite of .NET 3.5.1 met already.
    Patch is released since 20.11.2011 so I presume that it is a good installation set.
    Thanks,

  • Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 freezing from Archive Install of Leopard from Tiger

    Just archived and installed Leopard from Tiger 10.4.10 and on all our Macs, but our only PPC system is having serious issues. The system boots up fine, faster than before, however the Finder and desktop freeze when booting into any of the two user accounts. Applications run from the dock, but the Menu Bar isn't loading fully (airport, bluetooth, clock, etc don't load). I have run Activity Monitor from the Dock and systemuiserver and finder both freeze. I have reset the PRAM and NVRAM, and in the one instance I was able to get into the files I deleted the systemuiserver and powermanagement plist's.
    Upon many hours of research with Apple and at home, nothing seems to be the solution. If I can't resolve this I may have to install a copy of Tiger (or Leopard) on an external HDD, boot and attempt data recovery from the main HDD (if nothing is locked) as a lot of Quicken 2007 files are needed and perform a clean install. If any one is able to give any help I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
    Also, the Power Mac G5 is Dual 2.3 late 2005 model (specs: http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/PowerMac_G5_Late2005.html ), with 1 GB RAM, ViewSonic VGA monitor, NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT with 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM, Airport + Bluetooth, and wired keyboard and mouse. Thanks again!

    So, would you recommend to people having this same system (as I do) to wait for installing Leopard or maybe to take some precautions?
    I would either:
    A) Wait until 10.5.1 has been released (which may address such issues)
    B) Take serious precautions. Back everything you need onto a separate HD and perform a clean install (which formats your HD), then move everything copied back into the system to ensure no data is lost and nothing corruptible is carried over into Leopard.
    Performing the clean install seemed to take care of any conflicts and issues, but means more time will be spent manually backing up and reloading all personal data.
    Hope this helps and good luck.

  • Best Practice for Acquisition of Utility Plant Assets from another utility

    My company is located in the United States and will be taking on an initiative of purchasing the Utility Plant assets from another company.  We are governed by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Accounting Standards.  In the guidance for the accounting where one utility purchases the assets of another utility, it states that the purchasing company must account for the Utility Plant Assets in FERC Account 102 at a net book value until FERC approval is received on the sale of the other utility.  Depreciation must be calculated based on the Gross Book Value and applied to this same FERC Account.  What must happen in order to track the assets is that the asset's APC Value and the Depreciation Value must transfer from the utility selling the Plant Assets balance sheet to the utility purchasing the Plant Assets balance sheet respectively.
    As an example:
    Utility ABC is selling their plant assets to Utility XYZ.  The NBV of the plant assets is $60,000,000.  It is broken down to Debit $80,000,000 for the APC Value (in FERC account 101 on Utility ABC's balance sheet) and credit $20,000,000 associated to Depreciation Value (in FERC account 108 on Utility ABC's balance sheet).  When the sale is pending FERC approval the NBV is accounted for on Utility XYZ's balance sheet in FERC account 102.  This amount will be processed to the selling Utility on a PO for the purchase.
    I have configured the Fixed Asset module of SAP to account for the APC Value and the Depreciation Value in separate sub accounts of FERC account 102, that are se-up as reconciliation accounts on the G/L, in the account assignment of the respective asset classes.  we track our assets based on asset class that pertain to the FERC Primary Plant Accounts.
    I am trying to load the assets to the Fixed Asset module having the APC Value and the Depreciation Value reported respectively.  If the NBV amount is processed on the PO, what would be the best practice to load the  APC Value and Depreciation Value to the respective assets?
    My first thought would be to process the PO for the NBV of the assets against a generic FERC Account 102, that is not set-up as a reconciliation account.  I would then process an asset transaction using t-code ABSO with transaction type 158 and use the generic FERC account 102 as the Offsetting Account in the entry and using Document Type AA.
    I would like to follow best practice in this scenario.
    You help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much for your response. 
    I hope I can provide some clarity on how the accounting needs to be handle per FERC  Regulations.  The G/L balance on the utility that is selling the assets will be in the following accounts (standard accounts across all FERC Regulated Utilities):
    101 - Acquisition Value for the assets
    108 - Accumulated Depreciation Value for the assets
    For an example, there is Debit $60,000,000 in FERC Account 101 and a credit $30,000,000 in FERC Account 108.  When the purchase occurs, the net book value for the asset will be on our G/L in FERC Account 102.  Once we have FERC Approval to acquire the plant assets, we will need to enter the Acquisition Value and associated Accumulated Depreciation onto our G/L to FERC Account 101 and FERC Account 108 respectively with an offset to FERC Account 102.
    The method that I came up with is to purchase the NBV of the assets to a clearing account.  I then set up account assignments that will track the Acquisition Value and respective Accumulated Depreciation for each asset that is being purchased.  I load the respective asset values using t-code AS91 and then make an entry to the 2 respective accounts with the offset against the clearing account using t-code OASV.  Once my company receives FERC approval, I will transfer the asset to new assets that has the account assignments for FERC Account 101 and FERC Account 108 using t-code ABUMN or FB01.

  • Best Practice For Display Description and getting Id from  af:selectOneChoice

    HI Experts,
    I have a table DeptTable with the two attributes. 1) DeptId and 2)DeptName
    I want to diplay List of all DeptName in <af:selectOneChoice component. and in backingbean or managedbean I want to get
    corresponding DeptId for Selected DeptName in <af:selectOneChoice.
    To be precise, IN UI I want to see -

    101
    102
    103.
    If I select DeptA I want to get 101.
    Therefore what is the best practice to achieve it.
    Regards,

    CJ,
    I vote for solution 1 as it's just your use case. As you said you what to update the his_status_id and her_status_id through the by selecting a STATUSES.short_txt_descr by a drop down. This is exactly the LOV solution.
    ViewLinks are used fro master detail navigation (which you don't do here) and Joining the data make it difficult to update (and you still need a LOV for the drop down box.

  • Best Practice for Creating a New WebHelp Project from an Existing One

    I'm currently working in WebHelp Pro (RH version is 9.0.2.271).
    I have a WebHelp project which currently supports the 2012 version of one of our projects. What I needed to do was to create a separate 2013 project, using the 2012 files as the starting point. I couldn't find a way in RH to create a new project by importing an existing WebHelp project, so I copied the 2012 files to a new directory, opened up the project, and renamed it.
    What prompts this question is that following this exercise, all seemed well, for a time. However, I have recently had to create new topics in the 2012 version. However, when I imported these topics to the 2013 project and compiled, they vanished--although the htm files still appear in the appropriate 2013 file folder (when viewed with Windows Explorer).
    After reading some forum postings, I thought that I might have corrupted my database by improperly creating the new project--but if what I did is the wrong way to go about it, I'm not sure what the correct way is. I will be grateful for any suggestions.

    The easy way to do this is create a copy using Windows Explorer.
    Open the project and go to File > Rename.
    Then you have your 2013 ready made project.

  • Best practice for importing non-"Premiere-ready" video files

    Hello!
    I work with internal clients that provide me with a variety of differnet video types (could be almost ANYTHYING, WMV, MP4, FLV).  I of course ask for AVIs when possible, but unfortunately, I have no control over the type of file I'm given.
    And, naturally, Premiere (just upgraded to CS5) has a hard time dealing with these files.  Unpredictable, ranging from working fine to not working at all, and everything in between.  Naturally, it's become a huge issue for turnaround time.
    Is there a best practice for preparing files for editing in Premiere?
    I've tried almost everything I can think of:  converting the file(s) to .AVIs using a variety of programs/methods.  Most recently, I tried creating a Watch Folder in Adobe Media Encoder and setting it for AVI with the proper aspect ratio.  It makes sense to me that that should work:using an Adobe product to render the file into something Premiere can work with.
    However, when I imported the resulting AVI into Premiere, it gave me the Red Line of Un-renderness (that is the technical term, right?), and had the same sync issue I experienced when I brought it in as a WMV.
    Given our environment, I'm completely fine with adding render time to the front-end of projects, but it has to work.  I want files that Premiere likes.
    THANK YOU in advance for any advice you can give!
    -- Dave

    I use an older conversion program (my PrPro has a much older internal AME, unlike yours), DigitalMedia Converter 2.7. It is shareware, and has been replaced by Deskshare with newer versions, but my old one works fine. I have not tried the newer versions yet. One thing that I like about this converter is that it ONLY uses System CODEC's, and does not install its own, like a few others. This DOES mean that if I get footage with an oddball CODEC, I need to go get it, and install it on the System.
    I can batch process AV files of most types/CODEC's, and convert to DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio and at 29.97 FPS (I am in NTSC land). So far, 99% of the resultant converted files have been perfect, whether from DivX, WMV, MPEG-2, or almost any other format/CODEC. If there is any OOS, my experience has been that it will be static, so I just have to adjust the sync offset by a few frames, and that takes care of things.
    In a few instances, the PAR flag has been missed (Standard 4:3 vs Widescreen 16:9), but Interpret Footage has solved those few issues.
    Only oddity that I have observed (mostly with DivX, or WMV's) is that occasionally, PrPro cannot get the file's Duration correct. I found that if I Import those problem files into PrElements, and then just do an Export, to the same exact specs., that resulting file (seems to be 100% identical, but something has to be different - maybe in the header info?) Imports perfectly into PrPro. This happens rarely, and I have the workaround, though it is one more step for those. I have yet to figure out why one very similar file will convert with the Duration info perfect, and then a companion file will not. Nor have I figured out exactly what is different, after running through PrE. Every theory that I have developed has been shot down by my experiences. A mystery still.
    AME works well for most, as a converter, though there are just CODEC's, that Adobe programs do not like, such as DivX and Xvid. I doubt that any Adobe program will handle those suckers easily, if at all.
    Good luck,

  • What is the Best practice for ceramic industry?

    Dear All;
    i would like to ask two questions:
    1- which manufacturing category (process or discrete) fit ceramic industry?
    2- what is the Best practice for ceramic industry?
    please note from the below link
    [https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000409682008E ]
    i recognized that ceramic industry is under category called building material which in turn under mill product and mining
    but there is no best practices for building material or even mill product and only fabricated meta and mining best practices is available.
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I understand that you refer to production of ceramic tiles. The solution for PP was process, with these setps: raw materials preparation (glazes and frits), dry pressing (I don't know extrusion process), glazing, firing (single fire), sorting and packing. In Spain, usually are All-in-one solutions (R/3 o ECC solutions). Perhaps the production of decors have fast firing and additional processes.
    In my opinion, the curiosity is in batch determination in SD, that you must determine in sales order because builders want that the order will be homogeneus in tone and caliber, and he/she can split the order in diferents deliveries. You must think that batch is tone (diferents colours in firing and so on) and in caliber.
    I hope this helps you
    Regards,
    Eduardo

  • Latest best practice for folio renditions

    Hi!

    With the release of CS6 I can see in inDesign how there seem to be some special tools for preparing documents in multiple formats.
    My question is if there is some documentation out explaining the best practice for preparing and uploading redintions of a folio that I could review before beginning the layout of my second folio?

  • Best Practice for enhancing the SAP delivered standard WD ABAP application

    Hi,
    I am new to WebDypro ABAP.
    To enhance the SAP delivered Standard WebDynpro Component (complex component with Business objects & powl).
    Kindly let me know the best practice for enhancing the Standard WD ABAP from the below 1 or 2.
    1) To copy & create a "Z" of the component & make changes in that (or)
    2) to enhance directly on the same standard component without making "Z".
    Regards,
    NS

    Hi NS,
    If it is a standard component its better we go for enhancing the component rather than copying it into Z component.
    If there is any issue with in the standard component , SAP supports it through notes and OSS messages. If it is a Z component, SAP doesn't support it.
    If there is any up gradation of business packages, changes will be done to standard , but not the Z components, wherein we could miss it.
    Further, since it is a standard component it might have been used at many places, changes that has to done to reflect all changes might be difficult in this case if it is a z component.

  • Best practice for running multiple sites on 1 CF install?

    Hi-
    I'm setting up a new hosting environment (Windows Server 2008 Standard 64 bit VPS  configuration, MySQL, IIS 7, CF 9)
    Has anyone seen any docs or can anyone suggest best practices for configuring multiple sites in this environment? At this point I'm thinking simple is best, one new site in IIS for each client (domain) and point it to CF.
    Given this environment, is anyone aware of any gotchas within the setup of CF 9 on IIS 7?
    Thank you in advance,
    Rich

    There's nothing wrong with that approach. You can run as many IIS sites as you like against a single CF install.
    As for installing CF on IIS 7, I recommend that you do the following: install CF 9 without connecting it to IIS, then installing the 9.0.1 upgrade and any hotfixes, then connecting CF to IIS using the web server configuration utility. This will keep you from having to install the IIS 6 compatibility layer that's needed with CF 9 but not with CF 9.0.1.

  • What is best practice for installing Yosemite

    I am currently on OS X Mavericks version 10.9.5 Macbook pro 13.  2.6 ghz intel for i5, 8gb 1600 mhz ddr3.
    I am now downloading yosemite 10.10.1 but since i've been reading all these negative feedback so far, i am having second thoughts if i should continue to install the upgrade or not.
    Any suggestion What is best practice for installing Yosemite?  Or is it not yet time to upgrade since the platform is premature yet?
    Thanks in advance.

    Check your apps are compatible with 10.10 - roaringapps.com
    http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck can show what is running & installed - look for updates on the developer own sites.
    If you have many kernel extensions or startup items look for updates to them too
    Take a full bootable backup to another disk via Carbon Copy Cloner, Super Duper! or Disk Utility
    Disconnect the backup before you begin any install (ideally set it aside & leave it untouched incase you need to go back to 10.9)
    Personally I prefer a clean install when there are signs of multiple migrations (if you have upgraded several OS for a period of years). Setup Assistant/ Migration Assistant can import user data from a backup, but consider that Apps & 'other data' should be manually reinstalled from the latest versions.
    If you clean install (erase the HD before installation) then make sure you deauthorise iTunes & any other apps that are associated online (like find my Mac).
