Cleaning/ clearing out my MacBook for better performance

How can I clean out some of the temporary files and/or cache from my MacBook 2008. I think it could be why it's slow sometimes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Check the status of your hard drive. Control click the hard drive icon and select Get Info. On the new pane, the critical numbers are Capacity and Available.
Empty the trash.
Delete emails you do not want and then go to Mailbox (in the menu bar) / Erase deleted items / In all accounts.
Safari / Empty cache.
p.s. Under no conditions should you use software that claims it will clean things up... macleaner, mackeeper, macsweeper, what ever it's called, you do not want to use it.

Scale out SSAS server for better performance

HI
i have a sharepoint farm
running performance point service in a server where ANaylysis srver,reporting server installed
and we have anyalysis server dbs and cubes
and a wfe server where secure store service running
we have
1) application server + domain controller
2) two wfes
1) sql server sharepoint
1) SSAS server ( analysis server dbs+ reporting server)
here how i scaled out my SSAS server for better performance

Just trying to get a definitive answer to the question of can we use a Shared VHDX in a SOFS Cluster which will be used to store VHDX files?
We have a 2012 R2 RDS Solution and store the User Profile Disks (UPD) on a SOFS Cluster that uses "traditional" storage from a SAN. We are planning on creating a new SOFS Cluster and wondered if we can use a shared VHDX instead of CSV as the storage that
will then be used to store the UPDs (one VHDX file per user).
Cheers for now
Russell
Sure you can do it. See:
Deploy a Guest Cluster Using a Shared Virtual Hard Disk
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn265980.aspx
Scenario 2: Hyper-V failover cluster using file-based storage in a separate Scale-Out File Server
This scenario uses Server Message Block (SMB) file-based storage as the location of the shared .vhdx files. You must deploy a Scale-Out File Server and create an SMB file share as the storage location. You also need a separate Hyper-V failover cluster.
The following table describes the physical host prerequisites.
Cluster Type
Requirements
Scale-Out File Server
At least two servers that are running Windows Server 2012 R2.
The servers must be members of the same Active Directory domain.
The servers must meet the requirements for failover clustering.
For more information, see Failover Clustering Hardware Requirements and Storage Options and Validate
Hardware for a Failover Cluster.
The servers must have access to block-level storage, which you can add as shared storage to the physical cluster. This storage can be iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SAS, or clustered storage spaces that use a set of shared SAS JBOD enclosures.
StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

I want to clear out my MacBook and reinstall snow leopard. How

I want to clear out my MacBook and reinstall snow leopard. I have disc. How do I do this

Insert it, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the drive, and install the OS. If you're going to be selling or giving away the computer, securely delete all the files which may contain sensitive data first, and include the disk with it.

Please help to modifiy this query for better performance

Please help to rewrite this query for better performance. This is taking long time to execute.
Table t_t_bil_bil_cycle_change contains 1200000 rows and table t_acctnumberTab countains 200000 rows.
I have created index on ACCOUNT_ID
Query is shown below
update rbabu.t_t_bil_bil_cycle_change a
   set account_number =
       ( select distinct b.account_number
         from rbabu.t_acctnumberTab b
         where a.account_id = b.account_id
Table structure is shown below
SQL> DESC t_acctnumberTab;
Name           Type         Nullable Default Comments
ACCOUNT_ID     NUMBER(10)
ACCOUNT_NUMBER VARCHAR2(24)
SQL> DESC t_t_bil_bil_cycle_change;
Name                    Type         Nullable Default Comments
ACCOUNT_ID              NUMBER(10)
ACCOUNT_NUMBER          VARCHAR2(24) Y

Ishan's solution is good. I would avoid updating rows which already have the right value - it's a waste of time.
You should have a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraint on t_acctnumberTab.account_id
merge rbabu.t_t_bil_bil_cycle_change a
using
      ( select distinct account_number, account_id
from rbabu.t_acctnumberTab
      ) t
on    ( a.account_id = b.account_id
       and decode(a.account_number, b.account_number, 0, 1) = 1
when matched then
update set a.account_number = b.account_number

What is the best way to replace the Inline Views for better performance ?

Hi,
I am using Oracle 9i ,
What is the best way to replace the Inline Views for better performance. I see there are lot of performance lacking with Inline views in my queries.
Please suggest.

WITH plus /*+ MATERIALIZE */ hint can do good to you.
see below the test case.
SQL> create table hx_my_tbl as select level id, 'karthick' name from dual connect by level <= 5
2 /
Table created.
SQL> insert into hx_my_tbl select level id, 'vimal' name from dual connect by level <= 5
2 /
5 rows created.
SQL> create index hx_my_tbl_idx on hx_my_tbl(id)
2 /
Index created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user,'hx_my_tbl',cascade=>true)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Now this a normal inline view
SQL> select a.id, b.id, a.name, b.name
2 from (select id, name from hx_my_tbl where id = 1) a,
3 (select id, name from hx_my_tbl where id = 1) b
4 where a.id = b.id
5 and a.name <> b.name
6 /
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=ALL_ROWS (Cost=7 Card=2 Bytes=48)
1 0 HASH JOIN (Cost=7 Card=2 Bytes=48)
2 1 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'HX_MY_TBL' (TABLE) (Cost=3 Card=2 Bytes=24)
3 2 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'HX_MY_TBL_IDX' (INDEX) (Cost=1 Card=2)

5 4 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'HX_MY_TBL_IDX' (INDEX) (Cost=1 Card=2)
Now i use the with with the materialize hint
SQL> with my_view as (select /*+ MATERIALIZE */ id, name from hx_my_tbl where id = 1)
2 select a.id, b.id, a.name, b.name
3 from my_view a,
4 my_view b
5 where a.id = b.id
6 and a.name <> b.name
7 /
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=ALL_ROWS (Cost=8 Card=1 Bytes=46)
1 0 TEMP TABLE TRANSFORMATION
2 1 LOAD AS SELECT
3 2 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'HX_MY_TBL' (TABLE) (Cost=3 Card=2 Bytes=24)
4 3 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'HX_MY_TBL_IDX' (INDEX) (Cost=1 Card=2)
5 1 HASH JOIN (Cost=5 Card=1 Bytes=46)
6 5 VIEW (Cost=2 Card=2 Bytes=46)
7 6 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'SYS_TEMP_0FD9D6967_3C610F9' (TABLE (TEMP)) (Cost=2 Card=2 Bytes=24)
8 5 VIEW (Cost=2 Card=2 Bytes=46)
9 8 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'SYS_TEMP_0FD9D6967_3C610F9' (TABLE (TEMP)) (Cost=2 Card=2 Bytes=24)
here you can see the table is accessed only once then only the result set generated by the WITH is accessed.

My mac says connect to a faster usb for better performance

every time i connect my ipod the mac says:
the ipod is connected to a low-speed USB 1.1 port. for better performance, you should connect it to a high-speed USB 2.0 port if one is available on your computer
whats that about

It means exactly what it says.
This message will pop up when you connect a device (the iPod) that works with USB 2.0, to USB 1.1 port.
USB 1.1 is 12 megabits per second.
USB 2.0 is 460 megabits per second (60 ttimes faster).
For better perfomrance, use a usb 2.0 port if your computer has one.
Unfortunately, your iBook G3 does not have USB 2.0.

I need a clarification : Can I use EJBs instead of helper classes for better performance and less network traffic?

My application was designed based on MVC Architecture. But I made some changes to HMV base on my requirements. Servlet invoke helper classes, helper class uses EJBs to communicate with the database. Jsps also uses EJBs to backtrack the results.
I have two EJBs(Stateless), one Servlet, nearly 70 helperclasses, and nearly 800 jsps. Servlet acts as Controler and all database transactions done through EJBs only. Helper classes are having business logic. Based on the request relevant helper classed is invoked by the Servlet, and all database transactions are done through EJBs. Session scope is 'Page' only.
Now I am planning to use EJBs(for business logic) instead on Helper Classes. But before going to do that I need some clarification regarding Network traffic and for better usage of Container resources.
Please suggest me which method (is Helper classes or Using EJBs) is perferable
1) to get better performance and.
2) for less network traffic
3) for better container resource utilization
I thought if I use EJBs, then the network traffic will increase. Because every time it make a remote call to EJBs.
Please give detailed explanation.
thank you,
sudheer

Please suggest me which method (is Helper classes or Using EJBs) is perferable :
1) to get better performance
EJB's have quite a lot of overhead associated with them to support transactions and remoteability. A non-EJB helper class will almost always outperform an EJB. Often considerably. If you plan on making your 70 helper classes EJB's you should expect to see a dramatic decrease in maximum throughput.
2) for less network traffic
There should be no difference. Both architectures will probably make the exact same JDBC calls from the RDBMS's perspective. And since the EJB's and JSP's are co-located there won't be any other additional overhead there either. (You are co-locating your JSP's and EJB's, aren't you?)
3) for better container resource utilization
Again, the EJB version will consume a lot more container resources.

Upgrading the Hard Drive for better performance?

hello i have the new 17 inch macbook pro i couldn't wait to special order from apple so i settled with the stock model from the apple store. I am looking into buying a hard drive that runs at 7200rmp. i was wondering if it is possible to buy the exact drives that they put into the mbp? it is really important that the hard drive is best quality i can get. i want the seagate momentous 500gb @7200 but they are not available anywhere i look. I also have been reading that seagate drives tend to fail. Does anyone know of a really good hard drive that i can buy?
is a ssd going to be that much better in terms of performance? i manly do video editing and music creation with my mac.
so my question is what is the one of the bes hard drive for my unibody macbook pro that will be fast and reliable?
thanks

I too am suspect of Seagate drives. If you want a 500 GB, 7200-rpm drive, I would wait for another manufacturer to introduce one.
I think that Hitachi drives are your best bet. They have been proven very reliable, and Apple has been using them a lot in their new products. I have noted links to some good ones for you to check out.

Clearing out duplicate drivers for a specific Hardware ID

I've been struggling for a while to get a driver that works for an old model of network card. I had added in various drivers from the vendors website, and now the hardware vendor has supplied me with an older version of the driver that they expect will work.
Now, I would like to find all the drivers for a specific hardware ID in MDT and clear them out, and then add in the one that I have from the vendor.
What's the best way to do this, please?
One option that I found was this script which highlighted duplicate or superseded drivers for MDT - but the script is now longer available from the link in the article and I can't find copies of it with google. Would anyone know of anything similar?
http://xtremeconsulting.com/blog/duplicate-driver-tool/
Of course, if there's an easier way to do it, that would be even better!

I have encountered several people complaining about the tool not working.
USe at your own risk: :)
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=5407B03614346A99%21442
When MDT opens drivers that it *knows* are dupes due to identical CRC checksums, it will postfix a "(1)" to the directory/name. I would start looking at these first.

> I found this under After Effects features, So is this a lie?
Native
64-bit operating system support, multiprocessor utilization, and
OpenGL acceleration help you work faster, taking full advantage of your
computer's power. Unmatched integration with other Adobe software
further streamlines your workflow.
Of the three things mentioned (64-bit, multiprocessing, and OpenGL), two are hugely important and one is minor.
> OpenGL—Interactive or OpenGL—Always On
OpenGL
mode provides high-quality previews that require less rendering time
than other playback modes. OpenGL can also be used to speed up rendering
to final output. OpenGL features in After Effects rely on OpenGL
features of your video hardware.
Yep. It can speed things up. Some. And at the expense of fidelity with the CPU renderer. The OpenGL-Interactive mode is the only one that most people use.
> So you'll need to explain the above comment because I'm not clear about
what you're stating, or at least the part about OpenGl not being
relevant to AE at all.
I said that "OpenGL is not very relevant at all to After Effects", not that it isn't relevant at all.
To use a car metaphor: If I wanted a car that went fast, I'd focus on horsepower, low-weight materials, and good tires first. Then, if I'd maxed all of those factors and still had some money left over, I might buy a spoiler for the back. But that wouldn't be my first area of focus.
Graphics cards can be very expensive. I see far too many people spend all of their budget on this less-important item and neglect the less expensive and more important factors like extra RAM and a second fast hard disk. I'm trying to keep you from making the same mistake.
BTW, the graphics card is much, much more important for Premiere Pro CS5. But that's a conversation for the Premiere Pro hardware forum.

Designing Web applications for better performance

Hi,
Let me explain the scenario.
We are following MVC architecture, where we have our JSP pages interacting with a controller
servlet , which decides what action to performed . It is using request despatcher method to redirect
the request object to jsp pages.
We have most of jsp pages as entry screens. We are not using java beans, fearing the complexity of master
details forms . ( we dont know how to use "bean technolagy" in case of detail entry screens).
In forms at a time we can have max 50 rows , with each row having 10 columns. When a particular page
need to be displayes for editing (may be with already existing data), the servlet will populate objects
and jsp will access data from these objects. Once the data is accessed , these objects will be removed
from the session.
Since we are removing the objects from the session (not keeping it certain amount of time too), if the
servlet /another jsp requires some information, we are forced to use "hidden variables". In the current
scenario, we are having at least 40-50 hidden variables passing from a jsp page to servlet.
We decided not to use session objects fearing that it will give lot of problem to server. But now it
is making our client "fat".
Eventhogh our application is big, we are not using any database side coding like triggers,stored procedures
etc? Is this create performance problems?
When our application runs, many times we can find that the request will not get processed correctly
in jrun sever or some times we gets blank window or some time jrun default server hangs.
we are using Jrun 3.0 and Solaris_JDK_1.2.2_05.
Pl. find my following questions.
1. is this right way to do the things (hidden variables).
2. Is creating session variables is going to hamper the performance of the system?

Dear sandhyavk,
From my experience, you are better to put your hidden values into a JavaBean, simply a data object which is saved in a session, after you have accessed to it, you simply invalidate the session indeed. You can find more details from the following links from javaworld.com, I have adopted and amended it for my eIPO system, it is flexible and easy to maintain and understand.

I do hope that it can give you some ideas.

When will nokia send out the update for better int...

why is it that when ever the say they're gonna do some it always has to be done years late... Does anyone know when the update'll be

I know someone is going to chime in here and cry **, but I have always found that if you want a computer of any type to run at optimal operation, you need to make sure it is clean. Just as a computer, I would bet most people will say that a phones best days, are the first days of use. This is because you are not trying to drag along old stuff. It takes some time, but anytime I get a new update, I do a factory reset. When I go back to getting things the way I want, I typically find there are apps that I don't re-install because they were never used. In addition, I have found that factory resets typically help with battery life. This was recently the case with my Note 4. I took an update in December, and for the most part things seemed to be OK. Then I noticed the camera was lagging. I also noticed that for no reason, it would get very hot until I restarted it. Did what I should have done back then, and now things seem to be good again.

How do I clear out multiple entries for a persons name in the Faces selection?

Can I get some help clearing up multiple entries in the "Click to Name" dialog box in iPhone 9.6?
Here's the behavior I'm seeing:
When I try to assign a name to a Face by clicking the "Click to Name" option, I start typing in my son's name and iPhone is showing me 15 entries for his name.
Of the 15 options, only 1 of them shows a mini-thumbnail photo of him, and a different one suggests that it's from the Contacts app, but the rest of them are blank.
This behavior is not happening for any of the other Faces in the library.
In terms of troubleshooting, I've opened Apple Contacts and ensured there is only 1 contact record for him (there are 2 email address listed). I've selected Library > Faces > And I see one polaroid image in the list for my son. In the past if there were multiple listings here I've seen similar results. I'm not sure what else to try.
What causes these to be duplicated?

I spoke with Apple Support today and they provided a workaround:
I had 7 entries for a person.
Find untagged photo with person in it. Select Entry 1
Find untagged photo with person in it. Select Entry 2
Repeat until you have at least 1 photo tagged with each of the 7 entries
Now go back to Faces and you'll see 7 polaroids listed.
Select each of them and merge them.
Problem solved.

How can we rewrite this query for better performance

Hi All,
The below query is taking more time to run. Any ideas how to improve the performance by rewriting the query using NOT EXITS or any other way...
Help Appreciated.
/* Formatted on 2012/04/25 18:00 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
SELECT vendor_id
FROM po_vendors
WHERE end_date_active IS NULL
AND enabled_flag = 'Y'
and vendor_id NOT IN ( /* Formatted on 2012/04/25 18:25 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
SELECT vendor_id
FROM po_headers_all
WHERE TO_DATE (creation_date) BETWEEN TO_DATE (SYSDATE - 365)
AND TO_DATE (SYSDATE))
Thanks

Try this one :
This will help you for partial fetching of data
SELECT /*+ first_rows(50) no_cpu_costing */
vendor_id
FROM po_vendors
WHERE end_date_active IS NULL
AND enabled_flag = 'Y'
AND vendor_id NOT IN (
SELECT vendor_id
FROM po_headers_all
WHERE TO_DATE (creation_date) BETWEEN TO_DATE (SYSDATE - 365)
AND TO_DATE (SYSDATE))
overall your query is also fine, because, the in this query the subquery always contain less data compare to main query.
