Protocol for swap install of files

When reaching the limit of physical memory, enter /sbin swapon -a.
What protocol exists for the entry of data into swap...lifo...fifo ...?
What data enters swap, already installed or newly installed?

Interesting,  iphitus.
In my actual case, everything in Arch is in memory, Live Larch and that means it is categorized in various locations, opt, etc, var, etc.
What determines the modus operandi for the exodus to swap?
The data entering is one large GB file, contiguous data...video.
not sure how filesystems in ram are dealt with in terms of swap, or even if they are swapped. I suspect that kswapd doesnt discriminate or even know what things are taking up ram, it just swaps pages of ram that havnt been used, from certain zones of memory irrelevant of what they are.

  • Protocol for re- installing Dreamweaver CS5 and reconnecting to files

    My web site was working fine till I had malware on my computer and had to clean and re install all programs. I re installed CS3 and then my upgrade to CS5. I went to set up site to reconnect files and now cannot connect to FTP or up load photos for this month. I posed this question 2 days ago and no response and no help. Do I need to take it to Spry Framework where I can get a response?
    Web site is www.williamshomesteadranch.com  There are 4 pages that are ok and I had to use Filezilla to update them. The other pages will not connect any way to FTP.
    I would really appreciate help!

    I do have it copied onto an external hard drive and the original is still there. After talking with Adobe today and finding out their tools system is down till Monday, I plan to un install and reinstall and redefine with the original files. They still should have everythin the same. I have never had to re do this in 4 years and did not remember what was supposed to be there. Is there a protocol for reinstalling since I have to do the CS3 first and then the CS5 upgrade?

  • Simple protocol for clean install of lion

    I have an older macbook (2007) that has started to do some funny things … including a fairly well documented problem that, to my knowledge, has no real solution short of a clean install. Even the local mac store recommended that I reinstall Lion if the problem persists. Well, the problem has persisted and I have a few other odd and annoying things that happen intermittently.
    My computer is backed up with both Time Machine and cloned with CCC on separate external HDs. I also made a bootable install disc of Lion on an 8GB flash drive when I originally purchased and downloaded it. However, I am unsure about what the best clean install protocol should be. I want to (1) preserve my files and (2) minimize the amount of time/effort required to get my computer back up and running like it should. So, I was hoping someone could help me out by listing a simple recommended protocol for this situation as well as the important files/folders that I should preserve from my backups after wiping the drive clean and reinstalling Lion in order to essentially have my computer running like it was, minus the corruptions in the OS.

    First off, thanks to all for the quick responses. I really appreciate the input.
    Ok, here's what it looks like I can do:
    1. erase and install, either by booting into my recovery partition or from the Lion install disc I previously made on an 8GB usb drive. Then ...
    2. restore data from my backup.
    So, Time Machine will not overwrite the new system files when it restores my 'user' data, and the restored data should include all of my settings and preferences? Bookmarks for my browser? Keychain passwords? I only ask because I'd like to be prepared before diving in. I think I'm ready to give it a shot.
    @Linc: I really appreciate your point of view. I purposely did not discuss the major problem I'm having because I didn't want to distract from the simple question I had with a complex problem. Since you asked, here goes: when I wake my mac from sleep, sometimes I lose my wireless network connection and sometimes I don't. If my connection is dropped, sometimes I can reconnect by manually selecting my network and other times when I manually select it, I cannot reconnect even if I enter the correct password. If this happens, I am forced to sleep the computer and wake it, which starts the whole process over again. If it does not reconnect to the network this time, I am forced to restart the computer if I want the network connection. Not good. Gets old quick. I have had this problem since Snow Leopard - hoped installing Lion would fix it. I have searched and read many discussion here and elsewhere regarding this problem and tried many solutions that have worked for some people and not others. None have worked for me. The only constant seems to be a clean install, which sees to work for most. I spent hours at the Apple Store. They even gave me a brand new Airport Extreme for free because they couldn't isolate and fix the problem, in hopes that might do the trick. Nope. In my opinion, I have spent way more hours than it is worth to fix this problem trying to avoid a clean install. Certainly, I don't know if it will work until I do it, but I'm at the point where I feel like it is worth a try. So, if you have the solution I've been waiting for, please send it along … I'm the kind of person who would much rather figure out and fix a specific problem (with some help) than throw in the towel.

  • Missing the install.app file for Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended...

    Recently, I purchased a new Mac computer. We noticed there was not a CD drive, so we moved the Photoshop files over to a USB from my old computer. But, when we tried to open and install Photoshop, the install.app file was missing. The other install files were only compatible with Windows computers.
    Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    So, I checked out the second linnk and it says something about needing an upgrade if I don't have to most recent version? Does that mean I'll need to upgrade to Photoshop CC before I can get a cross grade? Or can I keep the CS6 Extended version?
    Adobe loves confusing people with their marketing copy. Without trying, they often obfuscate the simplest of processes with poor wording.
    The platform swap process only applies to perpetually licensed versions since they're tied to platform specific serial numbers: Mac or Windows, never both ( applies to CS6 and lower). Not CC which is licensed for both Mac and/or Windows via your Adobe ID, so there's no platform swapping necessary.
    What Adobe is trying to say is that you can only swap platforms for the most current perpetually licensed version.
    e.g. CS6 Windows can be transferred to CS6 Mac.
    However, CS5 Windows cannot be transferred to CS5 Mac. You must pay the upgrade cost from CS5 to CS6 and swap platforms at the same time (that's a crossgrade). e.g. CS5 Windows to CS6 Mac is OK.
    Photoshop CC is entirely different. It is available to anyone but only via subscription, even without ever previously owning any Adobe software. There's no upgrading or crossgrading. You simply join up - but keep in mind that you never own the software.
    You don't need CS5 or CS6 to start subscribing to Photoshop CC. There's no connection with your CS5 license other than you can use your CS5 license to get a discounted rate for the first 12 months of CC membership.

  • HT3669 I only have a HP printer and why I need to install a file for all the HP printers drivers 590MB??? if normally the size of my file should be 5MB.  some one could me help to avoid installation of 590MB for my new mountain lion software???

    Hi guys..!!
    I would like to know if someone could help on this:
    I just have a HP printer (HP Designjet 100) and for some reason I need to install a file for all the HP printers drivers in total 590MB to be able to use my printer in my mountain lion???
    If normally the size of my files in the for previous software was more or less 5MB why now i need to install 590?
    Some one could help me how to avoid installation of 590MB for my new mountain lion software???
    Thanks

    If you go to http://support.apple.com/downloads and locate the HP Printer Drivers installer, you will find that it is 473.4 MB (for version 2.11). If you install this, it will install the full set of drivers for every model of HP printer that is supported by the drivers distributed through Apple. The disk space occupied once installed will probably be larger than the download, since the downloaded file is compressed.
    On the other hand, if you have an HP printer connected and you use Software Update (or the Update tab in App Store), that should offer you a much smaller set of HP drivers, which are only applicable to your printer (and possibly a few similar ones). These updates are typically only tens of megabytes rather than hundreds of megabytes.
    If Software Update doesn't offer you any HP drivers then it either thinks you have the latest drivers installed already, or the printer model is not supported by the drivers available from Apple.
    This article lists all of the printer models for which Apple distributes the driver:

  • I download latest software update for itunes and iphone. they successfully download, but then a message comes up saying unable to install as file has been corrupted. what is the cause?

    I download latest updates for itunes and my iphone, when it comes to installing, it successfully downloads, but then i get a message for iphone software error=1403 file corrupted, and for itunes it downloads, then when i try to install it a message says unable to install software, file maybe corrupted!! 

    The iTunes update must be downloaded and installed before you try and use it to update the iPhone OS
    Download iTunes 10.2.2 from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1103
    When it completes it will auto mount the disc image and show you the package installer, don't try and do anything with the file until it gets to this stage.
    Once that's installed reboot the Mac, run iTunes, connect your iPhone and let it sync, then hit the update button and let it complete that step by itself (which will require a restart of the iPhone)

  • So how to specify different answer file for different install images in WDS snap-in?

    hello
    in WDS snap-in, in properties on server name, on client tab, we can define an answer file for unattended windows installation on WDS clients.
    my question is, maybe we have added multiple images in WDS snap-in (win xp image, win 7 , win 2008,...)
    now this one answer file applies to all of them ?
    so how to specify different answer file for different install images in WDS snap-in?
    thanks in advanced 

    Under the "Client" tab of WDS, you should only use an answer-file with settings relevant for the installation. This would be credentials for the WDS deployment share, international settings used during the setup and possibly also destination drive
    details (if you want the installation to take care of partitioning the disk etc). The settings relevant for unattend-files used under "Client" would only be of those in phase 1 (WinPE).
    However, if you would like to have specific unattend file for every installation, e.g. Win7, Server 2008, Win 8 etc, you can browse to the image under "Install Images" under the image Groups. There you can select properties for every image and
    have a personal unattend-file.
    hi Joel
    very cool. thanks a lot, that really helped me.

  • Installing .air file on osx Mavericks keeps asking for installation package

    After upgrading to OSX Mavericks and Upgrading to Adobe CC I'm having trouble installing .air files.
    I'm working on OSX Mavericks 10.9.1
    I have built an Air application with the Air4.0 SDK in Flashbuilder 4.7 and packaged a release build as a signed Air Package.
    When I try to install it by double clicking the .air file , the Air Application Manager Starts but asks for an Installation package instead of using the package I just doubleclicked.
    Any ideas how to solve this?
    kind regards
    Patrick

    Hi
    I never had Air 3.8 installed on my machine (after a clean install of osx mavericks). Only 3.9  4.0beta and now 4.0 release.
    Even now that I reinstalled 4.0.0.1390 I'm not able te uninstall. It still give an "already installed message)
    The Package insttaltion problem occurs with any .air file, so for instance even the air SettingsManager.air from the adobe site.
    It's probably some hickup with my machine, but I don't know where to look anymore.
    I'm not sure what you mean by the app.air file.
    I have sent a a simple .air file to your mail address.
    Oddly enough when I double click any .air file (and the "select installation package" window appears) and then doubelclick the .air file again from the finder,
    the air installation window does appear behind!! the "select installation package" window ( but I can't click it ).
    So it seems that, when first opened, the Adobe AIR Application Installer doesn't receive the file path of the .air file that was clicked.
    Best Regards
    Patrick

  • I have attempted to install iTunes multiple times but to no avail. I have installed every file, and followed every instruction on the support pages. I click download, and it takes me directly to the "Thank You for Downloading" page without doing anything.

    I have attempted to install iTunes multiple times but to no avail. I have installed every file, and followed every instruction on the support pages. I click download, and it takes me directly to the "Thank You for Downloading" page without doing anything. I am running it on FireFox, and I have tried with Internet Explorer, neither have worked. I have been trying to do this for weeks now, and I am getting majorly frustrated. Please, help.

    Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

  • I bought Illustrator CS6 DVD for Mac OS but cannot see install.app file on disk. Anyone know how I install the program?

    Adobe Illustrator CS6 disk bought for Mac OS but when I run the DVD the disk appears but there is no viewable install content. I can't see an install.app file and the program is not automatically running. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.

    Are you able at all to execute the install file manually?
    You can always try downloading tye installation instead of using the disc.  Your serial number from the disc will work for the download.

  • Is there a way to search for and install all uninstalled fonts? I'm getting bored of opening all the files up.

    I've got a file of about 100 typefaces, which is 1000s of fonts. I want to install them all but I dont want to have to open each file and install them all individually (or in small groups).
    So is there a way to search for and install ALL uninstalled fonts in one hit?
    Cheers.

    The best solution I've come across so far is to dump all movies into a shareware app called iVI. It'll show whether each movie has subtitles or not.
