Best way to re-install Logic

I'm about to have my computer worked on and I think I will end up loosing all the data on my computer because of the repair.
Right now I'm going through my computer and backing up everything I can. Is there a way to copy the LOGIC PROGRAM onto my external hard drive? I have all my Logic files/folders backed up of course, but what about the program itself? Do I have to re-install with the Logic disks like I originally did, or is there another way? Thanks!

Easiest is using Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner, create a clone of your hard drive on your external, and then just reinstall that clone when you get your machine back from repair.

What's the best way to (re)install Logic Studio? Need Help.

I bought Logic Studio a few months ago and installed it on my new MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz with 2G Ram, 160G hard drive @ 7200 rpm. Being new to Logic, at install, I just put all 40+ gigs of content on the computer. After a while I considered putting the Apple Loops (roughly 12gigs) onto an external hard drive to save space on my computer, just to see if it would work, then consider moving more content over later. After doing this the Logic application couldn't find the Apple Loops, and I couldn't find a way to help it see the new path, so my Apple Loops were essentially rendered useless (since I had already deleted them from the computer). So I stopped right there, and haven't done anything else. Just worked with Logic without using Loops, which I have to say is still an incredible program.
What also seemed strange was this: In moving the Apple Loops, the available disk space on the computer didn't seem to change much. It went down a few gigs, but not the 12 or so I was expecting. Not sure why that is. It seems like Logic and all the content is actually taking up around 50 gigs or so on my computer (and the Apple Loops are supposedly gone or not available). What is that about?
Feeling like I had really fouled things up, I called Apple Care. They said that the content of Logic is stored in many places in the computer's libraries and system folders, but it was really confusing trying to locate all of it, because the info they sent was from Logic 7 and older versions of GarageBand. I guess Logic 8 is too new for them to have anything on it. There is no uninstall for Logic Studio. But they strongly recommended that I perform an Erase and Install, and then re-install all my software including Logic, and then assign the hard drive I wanted the content in. That would open up a lot of the computer's hard drive space, they said. It seemed like an extreme measure to take for such a small blunder, and I haven't tried it yet, but will if it's the best option.
If I do this, is running Logic content (i.e. Loops, Impulse Responses, Jam Packs, etc.) from an external hard drive (and the one I have to use is 5400rpm--is that too slow or am I getting too picky?) the best way to go, or should I have all Logic material coming from the same machine? How do I get some of my hard drive space back?
Ugh.
Has anyone out there experienced this too? Is there anything documented about where the content is stored for Logic Studio? Is Erase and Install really the best thing to do in this situation?
So many questions...
Thanks.

Hey Blue,
Let me see if I can help you a bit.
Logic Studio has 28+ gb of loops. Almost 23 for STP and 6 for the Jam Packs, etc. They should be located in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple (that's the default install loc.). Copy them to an external drive and then delete them from your main drive. Go to /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Indexes and delete those text files. Now go to /Library/Preferences/Soundtrack Pro and delete those text files, too (more Loop Indexes).
Now open Logic Pro and it will say 'No Apple Loops found'. Click 'OK' and then open your Loop Browser. Drag all the Jam Pack folders, STP folder, etc. that you want to use onto the Loop Browser. Logic will ask you if you want to 'Copy to Loops Folder' or 'Current Location'. Choose 'Current Location'. Logic will now index the loop folders.
NOTE: You can change the names of the folders to suit your liking. For example: I added the 2, 3, 4, 5 after the Jam Pack names to make it look smoother on the popup menu and changed iLife Sound Effects to Sound Effects - iLife and Apple Loops for STP to STP. Now the Jam Packs 1-5 come up first on the popup menu and the FX stay at the bottom. I likee!!
Now, if you like you can take your EXS Factory Samples and Ultrabeat Samples, 3.35 & .889 gb respectively, and copy them to an external drive. I have mine in the same place as my Jam Packs, etc. You can find these files in /Library/Application Support/Logic. Toss out the originals and put ALIASES from the external drive back into the /Lib/App Sup/Logic folder.
Also, if you open STP and click the Search tab in the right pane you will see a button that says 'Setup' next to it. Click that and you can use the checkboxes in the window to activate/deactivate any of the loop folders available.
A clean install is the best IMO if you have a little time because a) you DO NOT have to install GB at all (that saves the .aif file size - Logic Studio uses .caf files at half the size of the originals) b) Logic Studio will install the extra GB or Logic 7 content if you need it at it's reduced size. It will basically get rid of all the old clutter that you do not need. Only install what JP's you want and move the bigger stuff to an external.
Rock up Logic and it should all be in place. That procedure saved me 32.5 gb on my main drive.
NOTE #2: You have another 12 gb (if you installed all Jam Packs) that reside in the /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Sampler. These are the Jam Pack Instruments & Sampler files for World, Symphony, etc. They cannot be moved from the startup HD (as far as I can tell). So keep that in mind if you don't want a certain JP.
Hope that helps,
Dave

Best way for unattended install??

What is generally the best way to auto-install this software?
I personally prefer when software is installed using a MSI, it works really
great with ZfD that way. Have people pushed this out to desktops en masse
yet? If so, did you just use an old-fashioned discovery-based installation?
Thanks,
Don

Thank you very much, let me know in the thread if you have success either
way.
I'm going to start working on a normal discovery package for thsi app here
soon also.

Best Way to Remove Installed App Store Apps

Best way to re-install OSX for resale after hard drive wipe

Just got a new MacPro and having transferred everything from my early 2008, I have a buyer for that machine. I want to only give him OSX Mavericks and some legally transferrable applications. What is the best way to do this?

Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer with the machine.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

What is the best way to re-install Windows XP in Boot Camp?

I installed Windows XP on my Boot Camp partition on my MacBook for several months. Recently I have had serious problems with Windows Explorer (If I right click or try to copy, delete, drag files, it crashes). I've decided to just to do a clean install of XP and start over. What is the best way to do this?
I realize that I can just remove the partition through Boot Camp assistant, but I have read people on the web have had some issues doing this. I've read that to Erase and reformat the Windows partition" is easier to do.
There is also something called "Perform a Repair Installation" inside Windows XP. This would be preferable because I think this would allow all my applications to stay present. I don't have problems with my applications, just Explorer. Can I do this inside my Windows partition as if it were a normal Windows computer? This would be the best solution if it's possible.

Axel,
Unfortunately System Restore didn't work. I tried a few dates, but what happened is it said it couldn't restore and that my computer remained unchanged. So I will move on to the next stage. Reinstall Boot Camp drivers (I don't think that will help because they've worked flawlessly for so long) and then do a REPAIR WINDOWS.
But I am going to wait until the weekend when I don't have work and can make sure I have a full backup, plus numerous other things, like doing uninstalls on some programs so that I can reinstall them should I end up with a totally complete new installation.
My experience with Windows over the decades is that a lot of their utilities don't work as promised. That's what just happened with System Restore. So if I have a problem with REPAIR WINDOWS, do I just format my windows drive within Windows and reinstall, or what? Do I have to go back to OS X, eliminate the Windows partition, and start at the beginning with a new BootCamp and Windows installation? I'm asking, because once I get started I want to have a full road map.
Also to clarify, this is with my MacBook. I have no problems with Windows on my Mac Pro.
Thanks for your help.

What is the best way to re-install my apps data when changing the hard disk

My MacBook (120Gb disk) is finally full and I have ordered a 500Gb disk to replace it.
I am fine with changing over the disk but can anyone tell me the best way to reload all my apps and data from the present disk please?
I have a Time Machine backup on a Network disk, a copy of SuperDuper and also my original 10.5 OSX install disks.
Thanks

Roger, since you have SuperDuper, I think the easiest thing to do would be to make a clone of your current hard drive to the new one when it arrives. You will need an external enclosure for the new drive; make sure it's formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled); Disk Utility will do this for you. Then connect that new drive via firewire or USB, and create the clone from your current drive using SuperDuper. Next, remove the internal drive from your Mac, insert the new drive and boot up. You can then place your older drive in the external enclosure to use for extra storage, though it won't be large enough to use as a cloned backup with SuperDuper.
Good luck!

The best way to implement business logic to a .JSP ?

Hi experts,
I want to implement some business logic to a .JSP file wich is in my modified
<b>com.xxxNew.portal.usermanagement.admin.pa</b>r file!
For examle creating different roles for useres by registration dependently what they inseret in the registration.jsp!
What is the best way to do this? I have tried out to create a stateless session bean for this. Is this the right way?
Can someone give me information how can I access this bean from my JSP (.par file) and how can I upload it to the portal?

Hi,
Here is the document about Calling J2EE Applications from Portal Applications:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/9ddf20bb211d72e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
So in your JSP do the lookup of your EJB.
I do not think using EJB at this level is really good, as you do not deal with DB, security and transactions in your code.
http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=126400
Why not just use a portal component like JSPDynpage for this purpose?

Best way to structure Business Logic

Hi Experts,
I am using Web Dynpro for my front-end and application services for the back-end. Which of these is the recommended way to structure the layout of my business logic:
1) Keep everything in the 'src' folder of the CAF ejbmodule. Structure through the use of packages.
2) Create an external Java DC, keep all code in there and call the code from the application services. Structure code through both packages and the use of multiple DCs.
3) Create a child Java DC in the CAF ejbmodule project, keep the code there. Structure code through both packages and the use of multiple DCs.
4) Some other way which I do not know of???
I think that (2) is the best way to to this, but I'm not sure and I also don't know how to make the code in the Java DC accessible from the CAF in 7.1. In 7.0 one was required to assemble the Java DC into a J2EE Server Library project and then create the required dependencies. How does this work in 7.1?
Thanks,
JP

Hmm, I guess it would be a rather tough task to have a mapping between all classes (or even packages) and DCs. However it should be fairly intuitive to infer the DC from the class / package name. If still in doubt, you can search for its usage on help.sap.com - most probably you'll find the DC name as well therein.

According to the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/javadocs">NW public javadocs</a>, the classes in the com.sap.tc.webdynpro.* packages are "Services in the Web Dynpro runtime environment that can be called by custom coding in Web Dynpro applications", so they're not intended for general use in any type of app.

Upgrading to SSD, what is the best way to clean install and transfer my files over?

I am upgrading to an SSD and I would like to start clean by doing a fresh installation of Yosemite on the new drive. However, I still want all of my personal files from my current hard drive, like my music, music libraries, photos, and Home folder, transferred over to the new drive. What is the best way of doing this?
I have Time Machine and a Time Capsule. Could I simply restore a Time Machine backup, or will that defeat the purpose of doing a clean install?
Should I just back up the home folder and transfer the home folder onto an external drive, then drag the home folder to my new drive? Will that save my iTunes playlists and music?
I don't need to transfer apps over so I'm not worried about that. Just my documents, files, pictures, music.

How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
      logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
Boot From a Recovery HD:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
      "COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.
After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard and later.)
For Lion or later select Disk Utility from the Utilities Main Menu.
After Disk Utility loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the Disk Utility status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If Disk Utility reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the Recovery HD on the external drive, then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utility Main Menu, then click on the Continue button.
2. After Disk Utility loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
      mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
      the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
      is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the
      Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
      the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
      (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
      GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition/Apply button and
      wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
      drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
      window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
      Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
      return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
      hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
2. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
3. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

Best way to clean install Lion?

Right, i've posted a lot today, but i'm hoping this should be the last time:
There's two ways of clean installing Lion (that i've seen), which one is better?:
1. Putting the install.dmg onto a sd card/memory stick, holding alt whilst restarting, booting from that memory stick,

2. Starting in Lion, going into recovery mode and using that disk utility to erase hard drive and then to re-install Lion,

Thank you very much.

It really is difficult to say, the USB Flash drive is slower, but the master boot block for the recovery partition may be damaged. Your mileage may vary depending on the health of each.

Best way to implement a "logical" URL?

Does SAP provide any equivalent of the FILE transaction and logical file names for URLs?
My BSP application needs to link to different URLs depending on whether its running in development, QA, or production.
I would like to do this in the most flexible way possible -- no code changes when URLs change, no custom tables to store URLs, ...
Best Regards,
Shawn Searcy

Thanks for the replies.
I will try to be more specific in what I am doing (if you promise not to ask why ;-).
My BSP application must link (e.g. via hyperlink or redirect) to an ASP.NET web application running in a completely different landscape of non-SAP servers.
When my BSP application is running in development, I want it to link to the ASP.NET application on the development server in the other landscape.
When my BSP application is running in QA, I want it to link to the ASP.NET application on the QA server in the other landscape.
And so on...
My solution at this point is the following:
<%
        data logical_url type FILENAME-FILEINTERN.
        data physical_url type FILENAME-FILEEXTERN.
        data redirect_url type string.
        concatenate 'ZEXTERNAL_APP_' sy-sysid into logical_url.
        call function 'FILE_GET_NAME'
            exporting
                logical_filename = logical_url
            importing
                file_name         = physical_url
            exceptions
                file_not_found    = 1
                others            = 2 .
        if sy-subrc = 0.
            redirect_url = physical_url.
            response->redirect( redirect_url ).
This works fine. The target URL is 1) determined based on the current SAP system ID, and 2) completely externalized from application code.
The purpose of my initial message was to find out if SAP had a "new and improved", and possibly more appropriate, mechanism for accomplishing this.
Regards,
Shawn

What is the best way to run/install games onto an external HDD?

I would like to either install Windows on another partition on my 256GB SSD on the new rMBP and run games off an external, or install Windows on an external and games as well. What would be the most efficient (price wise) way to do this without having to sacrifice speed? I was thinking I could use an external thunderbolt hard drive, but it seems like they are all over $300 and over 1TB. I would only really need around 500GB with preferably 7200RPM speeds. Would USB 3.0 be fast enough or would I need to use thunderbolt? I prefer not to have to install 30GB games on the Windows partition on a small 256GB SSD, though I guess I could uninstall and reinstall them as I need (but does this wear down the SSD write speeds over time?) I couldn't get myself to pay another $600 to get a 512GB SSD logic board on the rMBP.
Thanks for any help. If there are alternative solutions for running games on an external feel free to recommend them.

If it is possible to install Windows on an external HDD without Bootcamp, then I'd be fine with that. The only problem I see with that is installing the necessary boot files, but it seems like it could be possible to do it manually. I've never done it before though.
Running programs off an external should be fine so long as they don't have to access Windows OS files directly (supposing Windows was installed on the internal SSD), no?

Missing 50GB's after installing Leopard on new HD-best way to re-install

I installed Leopard on a G5 tower with 2 new 750 GB's seagate drives. Disk Utility shows a total capacity of 698.6 GB's out of 750 GB's so I am missing 50 GB's. Also first aide hangs up on Verify/repair disk permissions. It looks like I am dealing with an "erase" issue since their must be other files on the new drives that are causing problems, My new thoughts on this are:
(1)For MacHD 2, in DU click on the "hard Drive(698.6 GB ST3750640AS)/security option-zero out data/erase
(2) For MacHD 1 (Leopard) insert the installation disk/go to option-erase and install/ok
Will this work or is there a better way to go about it.
Thanks for looking at my Post

Most drives are listed as unformatted size and take advantage of the "1000" kilo which is really 1024.
Also a system with folders, &c. takes up space with no actual files.
Your "loss" of less than 10% is normal and expected.
For example, the "250GB" HD on this MBP as reported by DU says:
Total Capacity : 232.9 GB (250,059,350,016 Bytes)
But I have not lost 17GB.
Since your drive is 3 times the size of mine, I would expect to see a "loss" of 51 GB (3x17) which is exactly what you are reporting.

Best way to clean install mountain lion on a new ssd

Am in the process of upgrading my late 2008 MacBook Pro (15"). Have had 8 GB RAM installed for over a year now, as well as Lion, and it's doing fine but want to upgrade it some more to get another couple years out of it. Have ordered a 120 GB SSD and will be installing it in place of the optical drive to speed up boot and programs access. Also would like to upgrade to Mountain Lion IF it'll upgrade performance and add worthwhile features. Assuming that's the case, is it best to do a clean install of Mountain Lion on the new SSD or just clone the existing hard drive? What's the best technique for doing a clean install and for cloning?

Go to the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID and password. Purchase and download Mountain Lion. It's over 4 GBs so it will take some time to download.
When it finishes the installer will launch automatically and present you with a window for installing. I suggest you quit the installer at this point. Follow these instructions:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
    Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
    Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
    the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
    must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
    installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
      side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.
      Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
      partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
