Programmed system maintenance

I read that OSX has pre-programmed system maintenance and there is discussion on whether the computer should be turned off at night.
Is there someplace I can check or reset my system maintenance?

To check when your Periodic Maintenance Scripts, which I hope is what you want to know, open Terminal and type this exactly:
ls -al /var/log/*.out
Press Return
and you should see three lines of info, one for each script: Daily, Weekly & Monthly. The date and time they were last run is in each line.
To manually run the scripts open Terminal and type:
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
Press return. You will be prompted for your Admin password and you need to type this into Terminal. Be warned, it might take a long time to run the scripts.

Getting error while opening layout in mobile system maintenance

Hi Experts,
I implemented note 904571 to prefilldata, with which all standard layouts loaded to mobile system maintenance. But problem here is if I try to open any one of the layout its giving following error
"An unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to ccontinue. If you click Quit, the application will be shut down immediately.
Object variable or with variable not set."
If I click on details of error, its giving following details

System maintenance and clean up

From all the reading I have done, the way I understand the Mac is you should not have to do any system maintenance or clean up.
I was doing a spotlight search and several times tons of Entourage emails would show up. When I first got the Mac I gave Entourage a try before realizing I liked Outlook much better... so I deleted my exchange information from Entourage and discontinued using it.
I finally got curious as to why all these email files were showing up even though they had been removed from Entourage. I went traced down the folder and there was thousands of these Entourage email files in the cache folder!!
I deleted them all manually as they were taking a lot of space up.
What steps should I take to get rid of files like this, that the Mac obviously doesn't do automatically, so that I don't end up with Gigs of space being wasted in the long term??

I recommend first off, migrating away from Entourage*:

Can anyone help with a good system maintenance tool for ML

Does any one have any suggestions for a good dependable all-in-one system maintenance tool for ML and is it straight forward and easy to use?
Thanks in advance .....

You really have no need for one. That said:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: 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. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
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 you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, 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, Lion, or Mountain Lion 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. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency 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. (There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion or later.)
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire 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. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.

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 or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space.

What is the best system maintenance software to use for a MBP??

Hello everyone, I was formerly using Mac Tune-up for my Macbook Pro and it did an okay job but I am not sure what Mac software I should be using to keep my system clean while keeping it running at optimal performance. Turns-out I can no longer use Mac Tune-Up since I upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Can anyone recommend to me the best system maintenance software to use for my MBP with Mavericks OS and where I can get it (a link or site URL)? Thanks in advance!

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make two or more backups of all your files, keeping at least one off site at all times in case of disaster. One backup is not enough to be safe. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it—the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness—not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
6. Don't fill up your disk/SSD. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a startup failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A well-made computing device is not something you should have to think about much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that needs a lot of attention, use a PC.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

Automated system maintenance timing

iMac early 2008, 2GB RAM, 2.8GHz processor, HD 320 GB total, 225GB available, OS 10.6.8
Whilst researching various causes for a Mac running slowly, I came across the statement that automated system maintenance procedures are scheduled by default to occur in "the early morning" hours, provided that the computer is running 24/7. If I were to leave my computer on, it would go into sleep mode, as would I, during these early morning hours (assuming this to mean 1am etc.). Do the automated processes indeed occur in the 1am range and if so, will they happen if the computer is in sleep mode?

Sorry that you feel that precision is not required in dealing with a modern
operating system, and that the obsolete answer appears to fit your ideas
on how to maintain a Mavericks system when compared to an older one.
On more than one occasion, advice has been suggested without bearing.
So be it with your interest in getting an answer that fits Mavericks 10.9
since the factors that did change for this new system, are not addressed
by the reply you sought to include as a correct response.
And, I also gave you a bonus tip on a historically correct (to Mavericks)
source of content that can be used with Mavericks for issues of a slow mac.
Too bad I wasted some time and research, on your behalf. If I weren't
working for free, I'd bill you double, and offer you to try a retail product.
Your understanding of an answer has not been helpful to a resolution.
However it does appear you did not read the link that supports my point:
This is current to Mavericks, cited by Pondini as of now:
On Snow Leopard 10.6.x and Later, if your Mac is powered-on but sleeping
during those hours, the scripts will run shortly after it awakes.
If you do not want current information on OS X 10.9.5, why ask and
accept info that was OK prior to Lion 10.7.5 & think that's current??
Is english your first language? I can try google translate if it helps...
Good luck and happy computing!

Imac system maintenance

Hi,
I've had my imac for just over 2months now and I love it. But, what I'm wondering now is, should I be doing any maintenance on it? (I think I've seen it called "housekeeping" here) It's my first computer so there was no migration from another system,therefore I started with absolutely zero software/data. Now I have around 1000 photos, 1200 songs and a few downloaded items(widgets etc). I'm a newbie so please tell me what I should be doing to ensure my mac keeps working at its best.
Oh and what is the security update? I've updated mac os to 10.4.2, should I download the security update too?
Thanks
Lee
p.s. I leave it on 24/7

Hi Lee,
Mac OS X does almost everything automatically, so you don't need to do much to have it work always at peak performance:
- Always keep enough free hard drive space (10-15%) on the boot drive.
- Back up (using a file-to-file method, -> no cloning every fault on external drives).
- Let the 3 nightly periodic maintenance tasks run (CPU on 24/7 is OK. +since 10.4.2 they run delayed if CPU sleeps at night).
(+ some cautious steps:)
- Repair permissions after each software install that required an installer.
- Clean users', browsers' and fonts' caches before an OS X update (using Yasu, OnyX or such an utility).
- Use the cache-cleaning restart to restart from your Tiger Install DVD and,
- Repair Disk with Disk Utility.
(+ you can also:)
- Rebuilt Directory with DiskWarrior.
The Security Updates are generally good for your system. So are the OS X Updates.
Before applying them, always disconnect all periphericals (+ iPod, HD, etc) and it is a good idea to follow my "cautious steps".
In order to keep them backed up, you can use Software Update's option "Install and Keep Package", or you can download them directly from Apple.
Some good info in those pages:

Good maintenance!

Organizer in elements 3 freezes program/system

Problem: Program/System freezes up after I select the organizer (or My Catalog, or the photo browser) from the start-up menu. Only a fraction of the organizer page loads onto the monitor before it freezes. To unlock I close the program which doesnt respond until I click END NOW and wait about 10 seconds.
My system:
AMD Athlon 3200+
XP Home sp2
Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0
Ram: 1024
Free Disk Space 118.71 GB (160 GB total)
Video Card: Radeon 9600
Virus/Spyware: Spy Sweeper, AVG Free and Ad-Aware
Narrative: I have been using Photoshop Elements 3 since it first became available and have enjoyed it immensely over the years. This problem began overnight and without warning. Fortunately I backed up all my photos on three DVDs a few weeks ago. I have tried everything, I think & am considering re-loading XP and wiping my hard drive clean to solve this but I would much rather find a solution here than go through all that. I have tried the Elements 3.0.1 update and another solution posted for PE5 which instructed to deselect Adobe Active File Monitor on the services tb in msconfig, to no avail.

Bob,
I'm still in a state of disbelief so after finishing my work tonight I couldn't help click on PE3 just to confirm it was still there and working - it was!
Yes, I know the format of the hard drive thing would have worked but it would have caused too much inconvenience and taken so much time. ARGH! And of course as you said, I would have never known why. Well, I guess ignorance is bliss because I sure don't know how a lot of things work on computers so I'm a pretty happy camper just to be able to do as much as I do.
Besides an earlier Microsoft XP update which disallowed me from using the send command from the organizer (to e-mail a photo to someone) and which Microsoft later came out with a fix for, the only on-going glitch I have encountered with PE3 is that after I have edited and saved a photo in the organizer/catalog/photo browser, it used to send me back to that particular photo's location in the organizer. Now after I have completed an edit it sends me back to the most recent photo in the editor, which is only an inconvenience when working with older photos therefore causing me to find my place back in the organizer after each edit before I can resume. BTW, I backed up my organizer again last night just to be on the safe side.
When you say, "Be sure to make a copy when you have everything set up the way you like it" do you mean to copy the PE3 folder from the set-up disk? Sorry, I'm geting brain dead this time of night. Spent most of it downloading XP Service Pack 3.

Why am I getting this message on my e-mail account: User account temporarily unavailable for system maintenance

Why am I getting this message on my e-mail account: User account temporarily unavailable for system maintenance?

Is there a solution to this issue? I have an iPhone and an iPad that sync with Outlook using iTunes. Every now and then the contacts, calander and notes become unchecked for both the iPhone and iPad. When I recheck them and "Apply" I get this message: The information on the iPad is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPad with the information from this user account?
As far as U know I have only one User Account. I see that many people have this issue. why isn't there a solution?

Root crontab no system maintenance scripts

Server: HP DL380, Redhat 4 update 6 (download from linux.oracle.com)
Today I checked crontab and noticed that there are no system maintenance scripts running under root, to e.g. rotate log files, etc. Is this normal, any suggestions please?
Best regards

Check the directories below. Linux cron has directories for hourly, daily, weekly and monthly root scripts where you can drop scripts that you want to run periodically. This is handy if you do not want to maintain a root crontab file.
ll /etc |grep cron

When I purchased my new iMAC 21.5-inch, Mid 2011 I didn't recieve any program/system CD's. If I want to reload a app how would I do it?

Thank you

I think Apple has reacted to a perceived---or actual---"dumbing down" of the user base. When new Macs shipped with disks, all too many people either blindly threw the disks away of lost them. There are posts all over these forums from people who no longer have their install/restore disks. Some can no longer get proper replacement disks becsue their computer is too old and Apple no longer has a stock of that model's disk.
This is not unique to Apple. PC makers are doing the same thing--providing a restore function internally.

Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated permit_mynetworks check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access reject_non_fqdn_hostname reject_invalid_hostname permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
However, that's not the problem.
I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions. You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up. Private/policy I think relates to grey listing. Maybe gives you a hint.
