MacJanitor - apps to clean up my system

Hi,
Before I used an app called MacJanitor, which cleaned up my system my iBook wasn't left on continuously. Since installing Leopard I have tried using it and it doesn't seem to be doing much - pretty much saying "Done" as soon as I run it. I wasn't sure if this was something to do with Leopard i.e. MacJanitor doesn't work with it? Alternatively, does anyone know of a similar app that work with Leopard?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Yann.
I read your link to A Brody's warning about corrupted cache files -
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1322708&tstart=0
On my new iMac I installed The Sims 2.
Now my iMac behaves in all sorts of weird manners. For instance:
+i) Input and dialogue boxes now have a dark border line around them when clicked on;+
+ii) clicking on folders, opening windows and all other mouse actions now have amusing sound effects attached to them (I assume they came from the Sims 2 game);+
+iii) the 'Apple Menu' of my intel 24" 2.8ghz iMac now displays two versions of each option Sleep, Restart and Shutdown (with the Keyboard shortcut displayed for each being different and distinct - which is itself odd) amongst others. Open, Close etc. are ok, just the one as normal.+
I followed the game producer's detailed instructions to remove all items I could find associated with The Sims 2 (they told me what to look for) and trash everything. Annoyingly the problem nevertheless persists.
I read this thread because I thought of using MacJanitor to clear my cache files +(I turn all electrical stuff off at night)+ as a possible way to solve my problem. After reading *a brody*'s comments I now wonder if my own problems could be due to a corrupted cache file instead.
The reason I say this is because it only occurs in one of my four 'User Accounts', and not in my Administrator's Account.
The User account in question was 'migrated' from my eMac which has been suffering from kernel panics and has been down now for some time with me scratching my head in desperation.
I'm beginning to think that it was a mistake to migrate all my eMacs settings over to my new iMac.
Assuming all this being the case, I wonder if running Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro 4) to fix the corrupted system cache files would work, especially as the most severe problems have occurred since installing The Sims 2 game.
I am assuming of course there is a version of these programmes available for my operating system - OSX 10.5.1 - Leopard. Both programmes resurrected my eMac to get it going but the kernal panics return nevertheless and the fault with this persist. However if a corrupted cache file is the cause not just a symptom I may be able to kill two birds with one stone!
WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE DELETES THE OFFENDING USER ACCOUNT. Can this be done? If so, what is the best way to do this to avoid data loss?

  • I cleaned up my mac and now all my applications are gone. I try to open them and it has a question mark on the app icon. Everything from System prefrences, Everything in itunes, iphoto, preview and mail? Please help

    I cleaned up my mac and now all my applications are gone. I try to open them and it has a question mark on the app icon. Everything from System prefrences, Everything in itunes, iphoto, preview and mail? Please help

    These question marks are on your dock? And you can't open applications from your dock?
    If so, try this: Open a new finder window and navigate to the Applications folder in your hard disk. The applications in question should still be in there (the Applications folder). So drag each of the application icons that you want to be available on your dock from the Applications folder onto your dock, one by one. Take each of your question mark icons that are on the dock and drag them off the dock to get rid of them. See if that fixes you up.
    Now, if your hard disk no longer has an Applications folder in it, or the Applications folder is empty, you are going to have to reinstall OS 10.6 then do a software update to bring you back up to OS 10.6.8. You may be able to just go to the "optional installs" folder on the installer DVD and maybe all the stock applications are there -- I don't remember and I don't have an installer DVD handy to look. That would be way easier than doing a full blown OS reinstall. Also, as I recall, if OS 10.6 was on the computer when you bought it from the store, I think there should be an "extras" DVD that has a handful of applications that could be reinstalled from it, too.

  • MBP App Memory Clean showing a total of only 3.38GB RAM, although my MAC should have a total of 4?

    Hello all,
    Perhaps a question more for the tech-experts (I'm not one ) :
    I have been running the (well-known) App Memory Clean for a while, and have been quite satisfied with its "Auto-Clean" function, as it saves me up on the Disk swapping.
    However, as I open the App, there are a few options that can be seen:
    Active
    Wired
    Inactive
    Free
    Used
    Total
    My MBP Retina (late '13) has a 4GB RAM installed- and yet the "Total" RAM memory that Memory Clean displays is a mere 3.41 GB and fluctuating. I have checked Activity Monitor as well as About this Mac>More Info>System Report> Memory, showing me that all slots are "OK".
    Is this an app "bug"? If so, that would be relieving, but nonetheless brings me to a more deep-rooted question:
    Is constantly "cleaning" the RAM bad for it and for the MBP's performance?
    (I have heard that Memory Clean runs by "dumping disk cache"- which is supposedly bad for system performance...?)

    I also have your concerns. I have a first gen rMBP with 16 GB of RAM and I often see every bit of RAM being used!
    So far I’ve been too chicken to upgrade my mid ’11 MBA since it only has 4 GB. I understand Mavericks utilizes RAM differently, but I’m still skeptical. Mavericks hasn’t been as stable as most initial releases so I’m waiting until 10.9 doesn’t seem so much like a beta.
    I’d like to see a good explanation of Mavericks memory management system vs prior versions of the OS. Apple’s quick explanation was ok but far from comprehensive.
    BTW, I switched to FreeMemory when I upgraded to Mavericks. It has all the same functions as Memory Clean but has the added benefit of having a menu bar icon with the familiar pie chart that Activity Monitor once had for a dock icon but lost in the upgrade.
    For now I'll disable the auto clean feature and see how the system behaves, but I'll keep it installed just for it's monitoring capabilities.

  • What's the best App for cleaning/speeding up Mac using Lion?

    Can anyone recommend an App for cleaning/speeding up my iMac and Macbook Pro, both of which use Lion?
    Hard drive space is not really the issue, but I can't help feeling that my iMac is not as nippy as it used to be - my basic requirements are:
    1) Easy to use. I'm a competent user, but no guru.
    2) Will confirm details of what is is deleting, cleaning before it does it.
    3) Is reliable and won't crash or bugger-up my system.
    4) Actually works - as I said, don't really need to reclaim storage, but would like to speed up my mac
    5) Doesn't cost the earth.
    You thoughts would be much appreciated.
    Cheers all,
    Simon.

    Do the below and keep your boot drive below 50% filled and not more that 80%, that's about all you can do without a full reinstall of the OS.
    12: OnyX cache cleaning
    Category: OS X, application and User account software related
    Description: Gives OS X, application and user account caches a enema, lets then rebuild again new, resolves strange and unknown issues based on cache files being corrupted .
    Only cache files are removed, not users data, files, programs or OS X. Some settings will be set back to normal in Finder and other locations. Spotlight will rebuild a new database.
    Problems possibly resolved: Varied: Flash install issues, Dock/Finder/File issues, "ghost files", performance and privacy related
    Instructions:
    Apple doesn't supply a easy method for the user to self clean the caches, thus we have to turn to third party software.
    Use the free OnyX matching your OS X version and run all the initial checks, stop if any give a warning, you have a bigger problem. See #4
    Run though all the Maintenance and Cleaning aspects (except don't delete the log files) and reboot at the end (must)
    You must be through running all the maintenance and cleaning aspects as this is a "catch all" method and any number of corrupted caches may be responsible for your issues.  You need to REBOOT at the end of using OnyX. Canceling the in-between reboot requests is fine.
    Read Step #13 and  perform the Verify > Preferences before rebooting at the end of using OnyX.

  • Why won't Mail.app rules won't migrate, System Tiger to System Leopard?

    Hi,
    Mail.app rules won't migrate from System Tiger to System Leopard.
    Here's what I did:
    -- Clean install of System Leopard 10.5.6 onto a new Mac Pro.
    -- Used Migration Assistment to move files from System Tiger to System Leopard 10.5.6.
    -- Mail.app's rules failed to migrate.
    So, I manually finder-copied MessageRules.plist into the proper folder to replace the newly created and empty rules set in System Leopard's mail.app, and afterwards, the rules then showed up in mail's preferences.
    However, the "manually migrated" [finder copied] rules won't run.
    In order to narrow the scope of the problem, I moved the former System Tiger's mail.app rules to the desktop and allowed mail.app to re-create a new rules plist file, then I created a test rule and it worked.
    Questions:
    Why won't System Tiger's mail.app rules files migrate to System Leopard, and won't work upon manual migration?
    What is the remedy to "properly import" the rules to the new [System Leopard based] mail.app, or to make the manually moved rules plist file work?
    For what it's worth I did follow the procedures at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread....9306&tstart=90
    in order to make the messages migrate, but that failed to affect the rules.
    Thanks much,
    Jack

  • My newest iMac from a year ago is showing signs of slowing down its processing capability. Notice it especially in Aperture where I get the whirling dervish thing sometimes for a minute or more and once it crashed. Is there a way to "clean up the system"?

    My newest iMac from a year ago is getting very sluggish. I notice it particularly in Aperture. I get the whirling dervish thing going on an operation sometimes for many seconds, even a minute or more and once it just crashed and I had to restart with the button. So I'm wondering if there is some way to "clean up the system" that is built into the iMac or if there is a reliable app I can obtain that will clean things up. I'm supposed to have a super fast processor in this version of iMac and lots of hard drive space and RAM. What gives? Any suggestions?

    Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Start with visits to:     OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
                                      The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
                                      The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
                                      The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
                                      Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
    Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU 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.
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilites Menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD disk icon and click on the arrow button below.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU 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, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
    For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is 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.
    Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will startup Macs running Snow Leopard or earlier. It cannot start Macs that came with Lion or later pre-installed, however, DW will work on those models.
    Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    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 this isn't the case, 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 or later 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.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
    Troubleshooting Applications
    I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
    If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar 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. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
        used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
        requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
        drive being backed up.
    Alternatively, get an external 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. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate.
    Additional Hints
    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 as free space.
    Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
    Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
    Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
    Pre-Mavericks
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Mavericks and later
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the View menu.  Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

  • I was wondring if there is any top free app for cleaning up  the computer and make it run faster while booting, on startup and while surfing web. I am using a macbookpro  with IOS10.8.5, under chrome,safari,firefox net environment. thanks on yourhelp

    I was wondering if there is any top free app for cleaning up  the computer from malware, phinishing apps, adware, and othere malicious softwares and make it run faster while booting, on startup and while surfing web. I am using a Macbook pro  with IOS10.8.5, under chrome,safari,firefox net environment. thanks on your help

    I was wondering if there is any top free app for cleaning up ...
    There is no such thing, since the problems you are describing can have various causes. Seeking anything claiming to "clean" your Mac is asking for trouble, since all of those products are scams, whether they are "free" or not.
    If you are having trouble with your Mac, describe what it is. Be as specific as possible. For general recommendations read below.
    There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
    You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
    Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
    Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
    Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    "Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
    If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose:Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
    Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
    The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • Creating .app folders in other operating systems?

    I'm working on a cross-platform game and am hoping to create an OS X port of it. I don't have access to a mac, and so am unable to use the xcode tool for creating .app folders. Are there any tools for creating .app folders on other operating systems? I'd prefer Linux, but can also use windows if required.
    Thanks
    Nathaniel

    Well, .app bundles are specific to Cocoa and Carbon applications... The closest way to make such applications is to use GNUStep (which is an open Cocoa) but it means to rebuild the whole app to make it work with Cocoa/GNUStep...
    However, application that are compatible with Mac OS X are not necessarily in .app bundles. Bundles are used for a specific purpose which gather files that the app should have really close, like its interface files (nib) that is used only with Cocoa or Carbon. If your app is neither Carbon nor Cocoa, there's no use in creating a .app bundle it doesn't even exist. And moreover, Xcode (or Project Builder on GNUStep) is the only app that creates .app bundles.

  • Clean installation of system 7.1 on Macintosh SE/30 ?

    Could someone please advise  how to do a clean installation of System 7.1 on my old Macintosh SE/30 ?
    It used to run 6.0.5, I have done an upgrade to 7.1 , but I think I have somehow messed it up.
    For instance , the Apple menu is empty.
    It still boots fine, and I can read floppies.
    I did google a bit, but didn't find any step-by-step instructions how to do the clean installation.
    I've got the floppies Install 1 & 2, Tidbits, Printing, Fonts, Disk Tools.
    Could some kind soul please advise?
    (I've got Macbook's , but I am not really familiar with the vintage Macintoshes.)

    Would it be correct to assume that you have the (more common) 1.44 MB System 7.1 floppies (HD diskettes)?
    If you do not wish to keep anything of the existing hard disk contents (and if you have backup copies of systems and applications that you want to install), you could simply boot the computer from a Disk Tools floppy and then use Apple HD SC Setup to initialise (format/erase) an Apple hard drive. If the internal hard drive is not an original Apple drive, or if an Apple drive had been reformatted by another program, a modified/special startup floppy with a third-party formatting utility would be needed instead. Thereafter, start up from the System 7.1 Install 1 disk and carry out a fresh installation.
    BTW, the floppy drive is first in the boot order, so a Macintosh SE/30 should start from a (bootable) diskette even if the hard disk contains a system. If there is a problem doing this, one can try holding down the four keys Command(Apple) + Option + Shift + Delete(Backspace).
    Since old system floppies become unstable with time, it is a good idea to create a set of sector-copied backup disks. The typical application for this would be Disk Copy 4.2. This program was earlier available from Apple, but the older software downloads list is not there any more. A Disk Copy 6.3.3 page can still be found, though.

  • Best practices for apps integration with third party systems ?

    Hi all
    I would like to know if there is any document from oracle or from your own regarding best practices for apps integration with third party systems.
    For example, in particular, let's say we need customization in a given module(ex:payables) need to provide data to a third party system, consider following:
    outbound interface:
    1)should third party system should be given with direct access to oracle database to access a particular payments data information table/view to look for data ?
    2) should oracle create a file to third party system, so that it can read and do what it need to do?
    inbound:
    1) should third party should directly login and insert data into tables which holds response data?
    2) again, should third party create file and oralce apps will pick up for further processing?
    again, there could be lot of company specific scenarios like it has to be real time or not... etc...
    How does companies make sure third party systems are not directly dipping into other systems (oracle apps/others), so that it will follow certain integration best practices.
    how does enterprise architectute will play a role in this? can we apply SOA standards? should use request/reply using Tibco etc?
    Many oracle apps implementations customizations are more or less directly interacting with third party systems by including code to login into respective third party systems and vice versa.

  • An app requires a later operating system but iTunes indicates phone has latest operating system. How do I get latest system?

    An app requires a later operating system but iTunes indicates phone has latest operating system when I sync with the computer. How do I get latest system if iTunes says I have the latest?

    If you have a Verizon iPhone 4, the current version of iOS is 4.2.10. You can not install anything higher at this point. The next release of iOS will most likely be iOS 5.

  • Clean up cooling system - do it yourself or give it to service

    Hi,
    I'm a happy owner of X200 for a year. Recently the cooling fan started turning on more often - it's time to clean the cooling system. My question is - will I loose warranty if it do it myself ? (disassembly laptop, put new cooling paste, clean the dust) Maybe I should give it to service? Any people experienced in this topic?
    Has anyone disassembled his X200 to do these things? Is it very complicated compared to other laptops?
    Thank you for answers in advance,
    Kind regards,
    Lukasz

    if you take out the heatsink/fan then there is a good chance that your warranty maybe voided. If cleaning the vane of the fans and wiping off any dusts don't work, then just send it in, and the depot will change a new fan/heatsink for you.

  • Clean up the system

    I have been using Archlinux for almost a year now. I started to notice that my root filesystem size has been increasing. It now stays at 6GB. I wanted to know if there are any ways of cleaning up the system of leftover files.
    I asked in irc and read in newsletter about pacman -Qdt and removed all orphan files. I still cant believe 6GB has been filled. Is it possible for pacman to list the packages in the order of decreasing size?
    Have anybody faced a problem like this ? What should be the approach to cleanup the sytem?

    sense wrote:That cleaned up 300MB. It seems I have installed a *lot* of packages. Can pacman output the packages in the order of decreasing size?
    pacman can't, but there are many ways to do it. A simple script using pacman, or using directly /var/lib/pacman, or a tool using libalpm.
