Clean Install... The Dirty Truth?

Although still happily obsessed with my MBP, I do have some of those nagging issues such as sometimes not waking from sleep, hot bottom, random crashes and the aforementioned whine.
Is there anything to be gained from a clean install?
If I back up my work, is there any risk involved?
Thanks

I am assuming that you have done the 1.0 Firmware and 10.4.6. Software upgrades already. Well if you have done and still have those issues , it wouldn't hurt to doa clean install. And see how your MBP behaves.. many people find that sometimes that cures some of the problems if not all.
Back up your work on an external drive and do the clean install.
Let me know how you get on.

  • Erase disk and clean install - The only way

    Just a note to say that I tried Archive and Install, and Migrate, and was beset with many of the problems discussed here. I messed about for hours trying to sort this and that. Then I decided that it was time for a fresh start.
    I hated the idea of starting again from scratch installing all my progs one by one. It took me about a day, as I tried each program for glitches after install. But it felt more satisfying than trying to fix a busted system.
    There were no glitches. I stayed away from progs with known issues.
    http://www.macintouch.com/leopard/compat.html
    I started with the progs I can't live without, and added the others as needed. I kept a backup of my old system and dragged in prefs for many apps as needed, which speeded things up and made it less painful. My main problem after that was importing Mail, as it seemed to be corrupted or at least Mail could not deal with the import. I got around that by using a prog called emix to mbox converter and imported the mbox file. That worked fine.
    The result is that now my system is clean of all the dross of old prefs and progs I did not use anyway.
    AND Leopard works really well.
    I know it won't solve all the problems, and all the other install methods should work, but we have to remember every computer is different due to the soft we put in. A major system release is the burning edge. I'm so curious that I always get burned a bit. I know I should wait for the first update from apple before jumping in, like all my sensible friends. Of course, I do have a laptop still running Tiger so I'm not that brave!

    Gordon, I think that for must users, the simple upgrade is the way to go, but only with a confirmed backup. I upgraded my "old" MBP and the process went perfectly and took a bit over an hour. Everything works and it works better than with Tiger.
    I think the choice depends on how old the computer is, how many programs are installed, how good the hardware is, and how well prepared the computer and the user are for the upgrade.
    If someone has a lot of special software installed, it's possible that they have some combination that was not tested simply because it's impossible to do so.
    I would still recommend an upgrade (with that backup) then, if that does not go swimmingly, an erase and install.
    I did a clean install on my G5 only because I wanted to keep the Tiger in the tank, so to speak, so the machine is dual-boot - one internal HD for each OS.
    But, to each his own.
    No piece of software will ever install smoothly on every computer. That's a given. The goal is to maximize the number of computers it will install on smoothly. This is also the reason Apple has cut off some older computers from this upgrade.
    Perfection is for the other world, not this one.
    However, with well over 2 million Leopards leaping out in the wild, I can only assume that most installs went perfectly or this board would be inaccessible for all the traffic we would have.
    You obviously know what you are doing, and you did what it took.
    I did one upgrade and one clean install and I would leave the choice up to the user.
    But only if they have that all-important clone standing by in the sidelines.

  • Clean Install VS Time Machine for "out of the box" performance

    Hi all ^^
    Just under a year a go I made the leap of PC to Mac and have never looked back, im super happy with my Mac however I have been experiancing a decrease in performance since Ive been using it, back when I was using a PC I clean installed the OS once a year and then proceeded to add my files back, thus restoring my PC to full performance.
    Ive been reading around these forums looking at Time Machine backups, hoping to see 'how much' gets restored when you perform a recovery from time machine, and from what I have read is that everything gets restored. So my question is purely for some advice and clarification
    "If I want to restore my Macbook to its "out of the box" performance, Is it viable for me to use a Time Machine back up?"
    if not
    "If Time Machine Back ups wont help restoring performance, Would it be possible to Clean Install and then extract purely the Files from my TM Back up?" I read another user had issues, the Mac recognised the files belonged to another mac and he couldent use them.
    So I wont waffle on any furthur, but im looking for the easist way to clean install or restore performance to my Mac, a long term solution I can use each year
    Please and Thank you
    Em

    Thankyou for your answer
    Im quite a clean freak when it comes to my PC, I keep my desktop bare, things I dont use remain unloaded.etc
    I think as I am without a Defrag or Disk Clean up tool I feel abit helpless to maintain optimal standards. I not very experianced with the in's and out's of computers but all I really want on my Mac are my Files, Applications and the OS, nothing more.
    I appreciate your time and experiance, so ild ask instead: In your experiance is it worth performing a clean install? I have hadly any junk on my Mac, and from the tone of your post you beleive a program such as MacKeeper would be sufficent?
    Futhurmore a clean install once a year isnt worth it? I depend alot on what people have told me, so I may have fallen victim to a rumour :S

  • Clean install for the 1st time from Macbook late 2008

    Hi all!
    I'm doing a clean install for the first time before installing Maverick. I have a Macbook from late 2008, which came  with Leopard, but I always  did an upgrade whenever installing Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion.
    My question is when I do the clean install, the laptop goes back to factory settings, right? Do I need to install all the operating systems or can I go straight to Maverick?
    I'mthinking of creating a bootable usb drive with Maverick or should I just install it from the Apple store?
    It's my first time erasing the hard drive, I don't want to damage anything, just trying to be extra careful.
    Thank you in advance for the help

    The hard drive is wiped clean, but the hardware is the same. There is no "factory settings" until you actually install an operating system. In your case it will be Mavericks. Your laptop did not come this way from the factory.
    To return to true factory conditions you have to install the OS that came with your computer. I know this seems like nitpicking, but it's better to have the facts straight.
    Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
    1.  After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the 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 leftside 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 the process has completed.
              d. 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.
              e. 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.
              f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
    3.          Use Lion DiskMaker 3.0 or DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
    Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
    You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
    You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
    Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

  • Clean install on the iMac G5

    I am having problems with the old iMac G5 constantly crashing. It still runs tiger....and I would like to wipe the hard drive and clean install the OS. My problem is after a couple of moves I can't locate the original OS discs that came with the iMac. Is there any way to do a clean install with a leopard (not snow) upgrade disc?

    Confirmed with a local tech, will work with leopard upgrade.

  • Can someone please upload the original downloads stack .doc file that comes default with a clean install?

    Can someone please upload the Downloads Stack.doc file to somewhere for me to download? The document detailing how the downloads stack works. I deleted it by accident hoping to free up space but figured out that the dowloads stack now looks horrible without it. So, can someone please upload it? Thanks. The document with the green down arrow that comes with your mac when you clean install the OS. I don't exactly want to clean install Mountain Lion just for the document so... yeah.

    It is not a doc file, but a pdf.
    Here it is for you. I'll leave it up for 24 hours, or until you indicate you have it (whichever comes first).

  • If I do a clean install, will I lose the serial number...

    from the "about this mac" application. It's nice to have that there in case your dealing with Apple. I know in the past I did something that wiped it out.

    No you won't lose it doing a clean install, the only way I'm aware it would be lost it is if you had the logic board replaced. I'm sure you will write it down just in case though.

  • How to upgrade (with clean install) a OEL4 server to OL5 on a live system

    My problem is that I cannot find any meaningful information on how to perform a OL upgrade on a live system with a running database.
    The system is running OEL 4.9 (migrated from RHEL 4 to OEL) and I want to upgrade it to OL 5.7 (wanted to use 6.1 but that is not yet certified for 11.2)
    I know that using Anaconda's upgrade is not supported so I guess I will have to use a clean install. (the system is full of legacy rpm's and old drivers that where needed in previous 4.x releases and dependencies that I wouldn't want to upgrade).
    So I want to do a clean install of 5.7 on the server, but what is the process? There are 3 LVs running 1 for the OS (with partitions for /, /boot, /tmp, /usr, /var and /home )
    1 for the Oracle software / data files and 1 for exports / archive logs and such.
    If I do a clean install on the OS LV (after taking a backup of everything) will I be able to reuse the existing setup of Oracle software on the 2nd logical volume? create the oracle user with the same uid/gid, running root.sh, etc.. Will it start and be able to mount/open the database ? (I am assuming the need to rebuild the installation) There is also a home for 11.2 middleware web-tier utilities (for APEX).
    I have been searching in vain for some guides / insight into what the correct procedures are for upgrading the OEL4 to OL5 (or OL6 if it gets certified in the next few months).
    Any help appreciated.
    Oli

    My problem is that I cannot find any meaningful information on how to perform a OL upgrade on a live system with a running database.Firstly, it is good to know your system is running satisfactorily.
    After taking a full backup (and checking that the backup is good!), you must shutdown the RDBMS instances.
    1) Reboot from the distribution media.
    2) Choose a full install; you do not want to upgrade.
    3) Be very careful to click on the checkbox to "use custom setup" so that you will get a display of the current storage setup.
    4) In the Anaconda Disk Druid screen, edit the displayed LVMs to use their old mount points.
    5) Make absolutely certain that the checkbox to reformat the LVMs for your database setup are clear, not checked.
    6) Do install the default RPM package selection; the OL distro is configured to install the necessary prerequisites for an RDBMS setup.
    7) After the installation completes, be sure to install the "oracle-validated" RPM package to do the necessary tuning.
    8) Add back all the user accounts.
    9) Move on to bringing up the RDBMS.
    Looks scary, and is, but can be done. Practice installing this way before doing it for real -- you do want to be familiar with each installation step and to realize where you are along the process.

  • I cant erase my hard drive and clean install OS X 10.6

    When I try and do a clean install from the OS X disk I do not get the option to use disk utilities to erase the disk. Does anyone know why this is missing, could I have some sort of virus blocking it?

    1 Why do you want to 'clean install' the OS? This isn't Windows, there's almost no reason to have to do a 'clean install' on a Mac.
    2 Apple doesn't seem to think that anyone needs to do this; they have deleted the 'clean install' option.
    3 if you really, really, REALLY must 'clean install', then reformat the volume using Disk Utility.

  • Clean install ios 4?

    I have a jailbroken(ios4.2.1) iphone 3gs, and have no use for it being jailbroken. I'm having a few minor issues and would like to clean install the latest ios 4 update and not re jailbreak my phone. My biggest concerns in regards to data loss are text messages and photos. I have copied all photos to my mac(running leopard for now), and have backed up text messages, but many are work related and I would like to be able to restore them as well.  As far as applications go, I have them all baced up. Only 1 application is ajailbroken app, and I don't use it, so it won't matter to lose it.
        the second question with this: Is there a way to restore application data after the install so that my apps have their data back? I'm really only concerned with this on an app called moe's notes, and angry birds .
    This is a temporary solution as I plan to preorder the iphone 5 once it is released, at that point I'll be starting fresh anyway. Thanks in advance for any help.

    But when I asked at the apple store, they say that the issues I have would require that they start fresh using dfu mode or something and that it wuld erase everything and that I could not restore anything after as it would restore the issues I'm having.

  • Clean Install / Cloning to an second internal drive?

    My boot drive is full and now seems slower - is it file fragmentation which slows a full drive?
    Here's my set up - I've just added a second internal 1TB drive and want to clean install the original boot drive (350gb) which is almost full and seems to have slowed down. - What is the best way to do this?
    Can i clone to a second internal drive?
    Can i clone drive 1 onto drive 2 then clean install drive 1?
    I want to keep a back up of system set up, software preferences etc.. so nothing goes wrong
    Can i then use Migration Assistant to get everything back in place on drive 1 (software preferences etc..)
    Then drop the folders in from drive 2 into 1 - then erase drive 2 to start fresh
    (I'm running OS 10.5.8)
    Thanks for any help

    Hi
    Yes you can use it as a regular drive. Store Data or even install the OS.
    RAID 0 = Stripe. As an example 2x1TB drives striped will give you a single volume 2TB in capacity or thereabouts. RAID 0 gives you capacity and performance with no redundancy. If one of the drives fails you lose everything. Data is 'striped' across both drives. One drive does not get 'filled' up first before data is stored on the second drive.
    It's important therefore with a RAID Stripe to have a clear and well-thought out backup strategy if you want to protect your data.
    RAID 1 = Mirror. As an example 2x1TB mirrored would give you a single volume 1TB or thereabouts in size. RAID 1 gives you redundancy at the cost of capacity and performance. If the primary mirror fails the data is still on the secondary mirror allowing you time to replace the failed mirror. Data would then be 'mirrored/copied' again onto the replacement drive. Depending how much data you have this can take some time. Performance does suffer whilst this happening.
    Depending on your hardware and how far you want to take this there is a whole world of RAID waiting for you to explore. If you had a MacPro for example you could use 4x1TB drives and have a RAID 10. A Mirror of a Stripe or - if you like - a Stripe of a Mirror. Either way you end up with a 2TB Volume giving you some measure of performance with redundancy. Beyond what's available built-in you're really looking at hardware RAID solutions. These can offer RAID 5 and RAID 6 with variations thereof. For example RAID 5 with hot spare etc or RAID 3 or even RAID 50 and so on.
    The 'general rule' leaving 10% free if anything should be expanded to 15% if you're considering RAID. Performance degrades alarmingly once you get beyond that figure even more than un-RAIDed volumes.
    HTH?

  • Microphone doesn't work after Windows clean install

    I have a satellite A135-S4677 (Part# PSAD0U-0N700P) which came with 32 bit vista.
    I recently did a 32 bit windows 7 clean install on a new hard drive. Everything works fine except the internal microphone which does not work. If I connect an external mic it works. Speakers work fine.
    I have tried the Toshiba Software Installer but it didnt help
    I have tried both drivers on toshiba's website for Realtek but it still doesnt work
    driver_audio_realtek_TC40053600B.exe
    driver_audio_realtek_TC40064600A.exe
    Anything else I can try. Please help
    Thank you.

    Satellite A135-S4677
    After a clean install, the order of loading first the Toshiba supplied hardware drivers and hardware utilities, then the Toshiba utilities and software is critical for success.
    1st Hardware Drivers & Hardware Utilities
    1) Chipset related
    2) Display
    3) Sound
    4) All other hardware drivers & hardware utilities
    2nd Toshiba Utilities & Toshiba Software
    1) Toshiba Value Added Package (TVAP)
    2) Toshiba Flash Card Utility (sometimes included in the TVAP)
    3) All other Toshiba utilities and Toshiba software
    Also, Toshiba laptops are very finicky about only using Toshiba supplied hardware drivers to work properly, and those drivers supplied by Windows Update and/or the chip makers. That's why I recommend disabling automatic Windows Updates. To do this, click 'Start - All Programs - Windows Update', on the menu at left click on 'Change settings', under 'Important updates' click on the drop down menu at right and choose 'Never check for updates (not recommended)', and click OK. Then only manually check for Windows Updates, check all available updates carefully, and never allow Windows Update to change any of your hardware drivers. Though you should still regularly check for updates.
    So, after disabling automatic Windows Updates, try downloading and installing these drivers in this order, and see if it resolves your mic problem.
    Intel Chipset SW Installation Utility for Windows 7 (32/64)
    Intel Display Driver for Windows 7 (32)(v8.15.10.1825)
    Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 7 (32/64)(v6.0.1.5904)
    Please let us know what happens. Good luck.
