Maverick runs slow.. the following solution work for me

Launch Terminal and enter the following command:
sudo nano /etc/auto_master
Enter an admin password when requested, then find the line that says “/net -hosts ….” looking something like this:
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
Use the arrow keys to navigate to the front of that string, and then place a # (pound sign) in front of the / to signify that it has been commented out, it should now look something like this:
#/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
The modified /etc/auto_master file should now look like this, the #/net has been highlighted:
Now hit Control+O to save the file, then Control+X to exit out of the nano text editor and return back to the command line.
Now you must flush the automount cache, so type the following command string:
sudo automount -vc
Now you should be good to go, so exit out of Terminal and try to access any Open, Save, or Export dialog box window again. The slowness should be gone completely, and you’ll be back to speedy file interactions through the dialog windows as expected.
This bug has been encountered and reported enough that we can assume a solution from Apple is likely to be due in a future OS X Mavericks update, be it 10.9.1 or otherwise. If you do use this automount workaround, remember to remove the # from the /net entry in auto_mount if and when an official bug fix arrives from Apple.

Thank you.
I am not going to try again with 10049.
I tried using the Install.esd from RecoveryImage folder and it busted my Win10TP partition claiming I did not have enough space to finish. I had 13 GB available at the time, and I had less than that when I did the same thing on 10041before they released
the ISO. 
In the process, I had to remove the dual boot Win10TP partition, recreate a new partition, clean install 10041with the ISO , then upgraded back to 10049.
I had enough  excitement for a while.
One last comment I would like to make......
MS has been warning us about using the beta version and said something like it is only for testing by computer well-versed users.
However, I would like to submit that for every
computer well-versed user, there are 10  who are just "regular" users. Just read the threads in these forums and you have the proof. Most of them do the straight upgrade via WU. Some wouldn't know where to find the ISO or the Install.esd.
We have this Dism /SFC issue since build 9841. SFC in particular is commonly used by all users, more so by "regular" users. Sfc is their basic, and sometimes the only, app to fix things.
MS should have it fixed by now ..... for majority of Win 10 TP users. No excuse they sit on their hands.

    Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    However, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you will have to wait for an firmware update for the Bose or an iOS update.

    my mac is running slow, the spinning beach ball constantly appears. it seems that when i am in the apple store with fast wifi its a bit better. genius at the apple store checked the hard drive, it's all fine. what can it be? can it be a software issue with the wifi?
    also i noted that it has only been doing this since quite recently, before it was fine
    please help!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

    Pat,
    Use Activity Monitor to keep an eye on your disk use and memory use. You may hear different figures, but I like to see my free disk and free memory above 25%. Sometimes all it takes is a Restart. Try to minimize the number of browser windows you have open at once. Quit unused applications.
    Many of us in this discussion area like to use OnyX periodically. It clears caches and repairs permissions, etc. You can download it from this site.  Be sure to download the one for the OS version you are using. There is a script called Automation within OnyX that allows you to start it and come back later when it's done with several actions.

  • WIN 10 INTERNAL POWER FAIL.... solution worked for me.......

    What I did was boot into safe mode. If you have enough time before the error, press window key + R.Type msconfig and run it.Under the boot tab, select safe mode there and click ok and click reboot. Once the thing is up and running in safe mode, and it may be sloooooow to get there:You need to find the AMD video driver in the device tree. (Control panel > Device manager > expand display drivers)It will be the AMD radeon one.Right click and select properties.Uninstall the driver and say yes to deleting the driver files. THEN, go to the AMD folder on your hard drive "C\AMD" and delete it. Go back to the msconfig and run it.This time uncheck the safe boot so you can boot up normal and do that. Once you are up and running again, and it may be slow this time too:Go to the AMD website and look for the Windows 10 drivers.I did not let any kind of automatic thing occur, I selected the one and downloaded and ran it. Choose Windows 10 64bit and you should see this one:AMD Catalyst™ Display Driver version 15.20.1062.1002​ Scroll down a bit to see the download button.Do it!Run it! Hope it works for everyone! --JIM. 

    I think I spoke too soon.I was connecting  my second hi res monitor which worked fine in Win 8.1 and noticed that it was not at its full res.Then I discovered that any and all AMD items were non-existent. No catalyst control panel, etc. only the Intel stuff.Then..... 1/2 hour in ........ Internal power error!! Going back to Win 8.1 again and waiting until this all gets worked out with toshiba! --JIM.

    Open up your Finder window & check the bottom of the window in the middle.  It will tell you how much HD space you have left.

    Empty the trash!
    Open up your application folder & go through all your apps.  Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
    An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
    In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
    Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
    Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need.  Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.).  Or transfer/move them all to a photo/movie storage site like ImageShack and Photobucket, 2 of the most popular  FREE  storage sites.
    Get rid of all your video & music files you no longer view and/or listen too.  Especially, if you already have the actual CD/DVDs or you can later redownload from a website.  Or transfer them all to a FREE video/movies and/or music storage site.
    Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything.  You can even trash directly from Spotlight!
    Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash.  Better yet, download this neat little shareware app *demo* called AppZapper.  It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
    Another software that does the above is AppDelete.  Best of all this software is free!
    Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs. Not everyone has the  luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or the system requirements for iCloud to store their "stuff.”
    Dropbox is a free storage facility software.
    You can check with your ISP to see if they offer *free* storage space.  Most if not all do now-a-days.   There are thousands if not millions of *free* storage facilities on the web also.  Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
    Check for duplicate fonts.
    Applications>Font Book
    Select “All Fonts”
    If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
    To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + *click* to select multiple dotted fonts;
    Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
    What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts.  Not delete them.
    More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
    Clear out font caches
    Use FontNuke.  It does all the work for you.  And, best of all it’s *FREE*.
    Printer Drivers
    Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your *current* printer(s)/scanner(s).
    HD>Library>Printers Folder
    If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
    Garage Band
    Has about 1GB of loops stored.  Get rid of some some them.  You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
    HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
    Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
    Get rid of extra languages
    Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
    You can do this with a *FREE* utility called Monolingual.  Another app that apparently does all the work for you.  I’ve never used it.  However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
    However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

    Not a problem when using iPhoto on a Mac, which the transfer of photos is primarily based on - not manually managing photo storage as seems to be common with Windoze.

  • Show the company I work for that we should have one cluster

    The company I work for have several projects where we are going to use RAC. The issue I'm having is they want each database to be in its own cluster hardware. I'm trying to show then that we should cluster all the hardware together and make small RAC database in the one cluster.
    Does any know of anyone that has written a go doc how why you should have one cluster versus multiple clusters.
    Example of what they are thinking of doing note this is all separate hardware cluster1 will not be cluster with cluster2 I'm try to show them if we cluster it all together we get more power and may not need so much hardware:
    Project 1
    cluster1_dev
    2 nodes
    cluster2_qa
    4 nodes
    cluster3_prd
    4 nodes
    Project 2
    cluster2_dev
    2 nodes
    cluster2_qa
    4 nodes
    cluster2_prd
    4 nodes
    What I’m proposing is the following setup:
    Cluster_dev
    3 nodes
    Project1 instance cluster on all 3 nodes
    Project2 instance cluster on all 3 nodes
    Cluster_qa
    6 nodes
    Project1 instance cluster on all 6 nodes
    Project2 instance cluster on all 6 nodes
    Cluster_prd
    6 nodes
    Project1 instance cluster on all 6 nodes
    Project2 instance cluster on all 6 nodes

    I am always impressed by choosing rac without having expressed what types of failures to be covered.
    maybe you really don't need rac ...
    moreover, rac is imho really not 2 nodes oriented but well grid oriented.
    a lot of small server in the same cluster is for me the way to go or the the way to think.
    Services features were introduced to allow one rac db to be shared by multiple applications.
