Protools Suggested Tweaks For Mac Performance

Anyone got any experience of the pro tools suggested tweaks for mac performance e.g turning off Dashboard and Spotlight in terminal and so on. They are found on the DUC forum. I use mainly Logic 8, but occasionally Protools LE. I am trying to squeeze as much juice out of my early MBP as possible so have used them. Any thoughts. Any known issues for Logic.
See my other post re eSATA etc, also any advantages putting apple loops and extra audio content on external eSATA with BFD etc?
Thanks,
Elvisfridge.

Turn OFF Airport, if you have wireless internet.
Run Logic by itself e.g. don't run email, safari, videogames, unix console, Word, etc... at the same time. This goes for ANY DAW platform.
Printing effects when you have commited to them, ie if you have a CPU hungry plugin, print it as soon as you're done editing the MIDI / or audio performance. then remove the plugin.

  • Paragon NTSF 7 for Mac: Performance and reliability?

    http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/screenshots.html
    Anyone using this product (Paragon NTFS 7) to read/write files on NTFS (windows) partitions from the OS-X system? I'm planning to get this app because it looks good for file sharing between platforms.
    2 questions:
    Does it work as advertised reliably and consistently?
    What about speed/performance? I'll be working with video and audio and want to edit from either os on single files. Are the read/write speeds using NTSF 7 from OS-X to NTSF partition comparable with read/write to native Extended volumes?
    I assume that from Windows there's no difference because the NTFS partition would appear normally to Win XP.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    I've been putting material on an NTFS-formatted 1TB external HD for a friend's WD-TV (excellent little box BTW). I first tried Paragon and every single transfer, though happily accepted by XP failed to be recognised as playable by the WD-TV so I tried NTFS-3G with complete success. The write speed is significantly slower than Paragon's offering, maybe only 60-70% as fast and I may have neglected a vital setting with Paragon but that's my experience FWIW.

  • EA4500 tweaks for optimum performance

    Hello fellow users:
    I have just purchased the EA4500. I will really appreciate if we can start summarizing the tweaks that we have come across so far. I have just set mine up yesterday, and the biggest problem i am having is my wi-fi signal dropping on my HP Touchpad tablet. I am running dual mode wi-fi.

    Do the following steps:
    If you used the Cisco Connect installation disk, then open up the Cisco Connect software on your computer. Click on “Router setting” window, and then click on the “Advanced settings” button. That will opened the Router Setup page, then click on Wireless Tab and make the following adjustments:
    For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
    For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
    If you configured the Router manually, open up the browser and type 192.168.1.1 in your address bar. That will open the Router setup page and you can set the channel as above.

  • How to install and setup macports for mac os mavericks, for open vpn purpose.

    Hi Guys! I'm using OS Mavericks now in my macbook pro, I need help and suggestions regarding open vpn application that i can use for my laptop so that i can access my server in my office even im out of town and country. I found vpn network setup in network preference but i dont know how to setup. also others are suggesting macports for mac but still difficult to analyze and setup. I need to troubleshoot in terminal which i'm not familiar with commands. Please help me guys! Please!

    You're going to need to figure out the required settings for the VPN server you're working with, whether you use the standard client or some add-on.  That information is a prerequisite for a VPN client; for any VPN client. 
    If the standard VPN client present in OS X doesn't and cannot be gotten to work, then something like IPSecuritas or the OpenVPN client would be a typical fallback choice, but IPSecuritas is far more flexible — which means far more complex.  These clients are available as application downloads; no Brew or MacPorts required.
    Is this your server you're connecting into?  Or is somebody else controlling it? 
    If it's your server and thus your VPN server, then you'll have the option to get either the VPN server in the gateway firewall box or the VPN server running in the target system configured to allow the OS X VPN client to work.
    If the server is controlled by somebody else, ask them for the settings necessary for the VPN client.
    As Barney-15E states, using Brew or MacPorts won't help, unless you're installing the VPN client that way — which would be a little unusual — and you're still going to have to figure out the L2TP / IPSec or PPTP or other settings here, irrespective of how the VPN client gets installed.

  • Browser like IE on Win for Mac

    I use Outlook Web Access. Safari, Firefox etc show a very different look of OWA. Is there any browser on Mac that works just like IE on Windows ?

    What, you mean one that supports all of Microsoft's bad coding habits?
    I can only suggest IE for Mac but it may not work in Tiger - Download it from here and give it a go.

  • I'm trying to install Word for Mac, but it doesn't contain enough memory.  Any suggestions?, I'm trying to install Word for Mac on my 10.7.4, but there isn't enough memory.  Any suggestions?

    I need to install Word for Mac on my MacBook OS X Lion 10.7.4, but there are two problems:  1)  Microsoft sells only Office, not the individual programs, and 2) I don't have enough memory to do so (2 GB).  Any suggesions?  I'm currently using Pages, and it's worthless.  Should I install more memory and buy Office for Mac?  Is there another decent word processing program (preferably downloadable) that will convert my documents to Word?
    Thank you so much for your help and suggestions! 

    I woud buy a 4 GB RAM package and install it.  RAM is cheap these days and the additional RAM would also improve the performance of your other programs as well.  I have used MS Office for Mac as well as other free downloads, i.e., Open Office and Libre Office.  I have found that Open Office anf Libre Office perform just as well as MS Office and, because they are a free download also save you money.  Another advantage is that they also contain a database, which MS Office doesn't have.  They allow you to save files in MS format as well as standard text format.  I ave also used Pages and feel it is satisfactory, although a little clunky to use.  If you feel MS Office is the only program for you, then buy it and install it.  You really should consider adding the additional RAM as it will improve the performance of all your applications.

  • Is it suggested to use an additional layer of internet security such as ESET Cyber Security Pro - Internet Security for Mac

    I just want to make sure I am as safe as possible with all the internet hacking that has been in the Media. I have a Mac Mini that was purchased in Aug. 2013.  Is it suggested to use an additional layer of internet security such as ESET® Cyber Security Pro - Internet Security for Mac ???

    Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There  is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
    1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
    The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
    The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    ☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    ☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    ☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    ☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    ☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
    For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
    The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
    Software from an untrustworthy source
    ☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
    ☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software.
    ☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
    ☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
    Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
    ☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
    ☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
    Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
    ☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    ☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
    ☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
    ☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
    ☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
    ☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
    Unexpected events
    ☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
    ☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
    ☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    ☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
    I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
    Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
    ☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
    ☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    ☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    ☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
    8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
    Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
    London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
    You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in everyemail attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It's as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

  • Suggestion for a compatible hd logitech webcam or any other for mac pro..

    Please suggest me a hd webcam for my mac pro, as i want to use it for facetime video conferencing and many other things.. please help me!!!!

    (1) You have a choice of many Mac-compatible USB cam.  Some examples of current compatible cams are described at  http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/.
    (2) If you want a wireless cam, consider http://ecamm.com/mac/webcam/bt1/
    (3) OS X already has everything it needs for Mac-compatible cams.  I recommend that you not add any OS X software that comes with your chosen camera to your OS X Mac, at least until you have tested your new cam without adding anything.
    As OS X user Kurt Weber, who is using the Logitech C615 explains in this recent topic, the Logitech software is required in order to provide its HD images.  However. as user Dave Stowe reports in the same thread, the added third-party software can contribute unexpected effects on some systems.  Such possible interaction is the reason I do not recommend adding third-party software unless the image is not acceptable without it. 
    This added software caution applies only to Mac OS X.  For use with Windows® on a Mac, feel free to install any compatible Windows® software your external camera may need.

    then:
    There was an issue with the update engine. Please contact technical support. (reason:failed to parse installer XML(code 11))
    SBM has now updated to version 3.6(3602) and still no luck. The software is able to download the update engine but then remains stuck in the initializing phase, talking to update engine.
    My phone is at build# 14.1.G.2.257. The proposed update seems minor, as the build # doesn't change but it would be great to have this issue resolved in time for kitkat 4.4
    There doesn't appear to be a problem with the phone as the staff at the Sony Store were able to perform my initial out of the box update with PC Companion.
    My Mac is running  OS10.9 and the java version is 1.6.0_65

    I have a MAC Pro from 2011 currently running MAC OS 10.9.5.  This weekend I cloned the MAC HD drive to a new SSD drive for improved performance.  The clone was completed successfully with no errors.  After the clone completed I successfully restarted my system using the SSD as the boot device.  I then successfully tested all of my products, including Photoshop CS6 and all of its plug-ins.  I successfully tested the key features that I frequently use.  Today while attempting to launch Photoshop CS6 a message is being displayed indicating that a scratch disk cannot be found.  All drives are available on the system via the Finder and Disk Utility.  I can access all drives including the old MAC HD which is no longer the boot device.  I've even attempted to launch Photoshop from the old device yet the same error persist.  Is there a way to review/edit/change Photoshop preferences if Photoshop doesn't launch?  I've even restarted my system several times to see if that would resolve the issues.  Does anyone have any recommendations for this issue?  Have you previously address this issue?

  • Suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini

    please suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini (i need 5.1 sound)

    The Griffin Technology FireWave will give you the 3 'cables' ("FireWave outputs six channel audio through three 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo mini-jacks: Left/Right, Center/Subwoofer and Right Surround/Left Surround.") connection for surround sound (speakers) audio. Whether or not a particular headphone set is compatible, you might ask Griffin directly about that. If you're playing a DVD with VLC or the Apple DVD Player, you will get surround sound. But, you'd have to find an MP3 with multi-channel audio inside it to play surround sound out of iTunes.

  • IIR 2.8.0.7 performance tuning suggestions / documents for Oracle 11?

    beyond the Siebel specific
    Performance Tuning Guidelines for Siebel CRM Application on Oracle Database (Doc ID 781927.1)
    which does NOT generate any statistics on the Informatica Schema?
    Customer is starting production data load into Siebel UCM of over 5 million customer records . Their current bottle neck seems to be IIR queries and high IIR host resources usage.
    This would be for Siebel 8.1.1.4 [21225] on Oracle 11.1.0.6; I currently do not know if ACR 475 with its EBC access is used or not; I'd be looking for any performance tuning suggestions on the Informatica & database side - I have not found anything helpful in the informatica knowledgebase and in the 2.8.0.7 docs the only performance tuning suggestions seem to be on IDT loads.
    Obviously performance can be influenced by the matching fields used, but this customer will be looking for performance tuning suggestions keeping the matching fields and thresholds they got approved from the business side.
    Any documents we could share?
