Steps to cleaning (optimizing) my PPC quad G5?

To optimize my cpu to run better is there like a sequence i should use for cleaning
like clear cashe,repair permissions,defrag etc should i do this in a certain order or as long as there done its okay?
i do have mac janitor,idefrag,leopard cashe cleaner.I do not have virus scanner.I have never had any probs with viruses as far as i can tell.
Thanks guys

I'd say "none of the above" and just make backups with SuperDuper, run Disk Warrior monthly, repair your system and backup before installing any update or patch (or program sometimes).
and keep the dust and temps down.
Reformat and restore with SuperDuper from time to time is a better use of your time, and does your system and drives good.

Using Motu DP and Logic Together - More use of all cores on the PPC Quad

Since there's been some talk about how DP uses four cores on the PPC quad lately I thought I might add what I've been doing to take advantage of untapped processing power. If you have DP (I am running 4.5) you can run it alongside Logic Pro and use interapplication midi (built into Logic and DP) to play Logic's instruments from midi tracks in DP. This is fairly easy to set up in the environment.
With all of my audio recorded in DP I can use all my nice AU plugs there and benefit from DP's use of 4 cores - something I can't do with just the "node trick" in Logic. Logic is then just playing the role of audio instrument slave.
I tend not to like or use most of Logic's processing plugs for audio, but they are fine to process Logic's instruments with so this works well.
The exceptions are Space designer and the tape delay which I still use on recorded audio. To use these with audio recorded in DP I use Jack and/or Soundflower to virtually "patch" the audio through Logic and back to DP. I have no idea what this does to latency but who the heck cares with reverb and tape delay?
Of course I have and like DP so this is worth doing in my case.

Jack is more flexible than Soundflower. The latter sets up less output channels that afford you less possibilities. But, both have worked for me.
True that, in the beginning Jack was a little funky to use but that ended when I set up an agregate device driver for core audio.
As a new feature in one of the Tiger updates (I can't remember which one) you can now set up such a so called agregate core audio device and select that as your device driver in both Logic and DP. So for example I use a MOTU 828 as one of my tried-and-true firewire in/out boxes. So I setup an agregate device in core audio with this Motu unit and Jack (called it Motu 828/Jack OS)and then I selected it in Logic and DP. Otherwise I just had to select Jack (and not the MOTU) as my only output device in Logic and then route ALL audio through it just to get it in and out of the MOTU which was a pain since I couldn't have direct acces to my Motu ins and outs in Logic anymore. Jack became the go- between for everything. That was enough to make me give up.
But using the agregate device saved the day. I now see all of my old MOTU ins and outs in Logic and DP plus Jack's virtual ins and outs which I can then use to patch between the programs. This has worked perfectly fine.
Soundflower can be used similarly but you will just have less virtual outs and ins to deal with and you lose the intermediate step that you have in Jack where you connect the virtual ins to the virtual outs at will. It's done automatically. So this can be easier of course. Or, it can allow for less flexibility. Hope this helps.

PPC Quad G5 Graphic Card Update from 6600

Hi,
I just got a new EOS 40D, and am wondering if anyone has any info whether Apple will provide graphics card updates for Quad PPC G5 users who have the 6600?
Is this something they will be doing, ever?

you mean the PCI-E G5? If so, then it appears that Apple is completely deaf to the thousands of customers that purchased a machine less than a year ago. As of now, there's no way of getting a video card upgrade (short of paying 4 times the retail value for one over at welovemacs.com). If I would have known that this is the level of support that I would have been getting, then I would have waited the extra 6-8 weeks for the 7800GT. fill out a feedback form, and hopefully they'll get the hint:

PPC QUAD Owners -- Got Bad Fan Noise w/Logic (or just in general)?

I'm having a terrific noise problem with my Quad's (now) overactive fans. When I first got the Quad this was not a problem. Seems to have started after an update from 10.4.3 to 10.4.4 or 10.4.5. With respect to Logic, the fans go into hyperdrive (blowing relatively cool air) after I launch Logic, even when it's sitting idle with a bare-bones autoload song loaded (no plugs at all). When I quit Logic, the fans start to calm down but it takes sveral minutes to settle down completely.
Even accessing the dock or loading up this forum on Safari will cause the fans to rev, but Logic is the thing that seems to trigger this behavior the most -- and the worst.
Anyone else with a Quad is experiencing the same thing? Particularly with Logic running?
I'd be grateful if anyone can offer offer troubleshooting advice. Here's some info:
- reinstalled the system software numerous times, no change
- all Apple RAM installed (6 G)
- running 2 monitors, but with only one connected, no difference
- using wall current or UPS current makes no difference

Thanks for the continued feedback/replies. Will be living with the computer/hair dryer combo for another week as the Apple store techs in my area are all booked up until after Labor Day. Gotta say, tho, that the $100 to be a ProCare member gets ya good attention from those guys.
Would still appreciate hearing about other Quad owner's experiences with their fans/noise level of their systems, just for comparison sake.
Tele, glad to hear your fans are well-behaved. Wanna trade? ;-)
Thanks again everyone.

Steps to clean shut down replicationa and again re-startup process.

Hi Folks,
I have implemented simple unidirectional repalication without Data pump in below setup:
Oracle RAC 11gr2 , 2 nodes
ASM
GG 11.1
I have shut down extract, Managre and replicate process on source and target after succesfull testing of replication.
Now I want to go for real implementation and cutover date. for that I will perform
1. initial load and
2. replication
Will there be any problem if I re-start the replication again after 3 - 4 days ?
What are the steps need to follow ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Edited by: LazyDBA11g on Aug 23, 2012 2:08 AM

Hi,
I assume , you want to stop all the replication process which was created for testing purpose then you want to use the same process for original tables. if i'm correct try the below steps. i think this like a new confguration setup.
1. Stop all the process on source and target environments.
2. Start the initial load from source to target (as per your initial load method.) (make sure there is no online transactions on the replication tables otherwise choose the SCN initial load method. then you have follow different steps. )
3. after completed the initila load process, make sure there is no transactions during initial load process and reconfirm both the databasein sync mode.
4. recheck the configuration parameters all the schema and table names are updated for orinal tables.
5. alter the extract process - alter extract <extname> tranlog , begin now. or you can start extracrt with particular timestamp.
6. alter the replicat process on target - alter replicat <repname> begin now
7. Now start the extract and check the stats whether changes are captured or not , if everthing ok
8. Start the replicat process.
Hopefully this will help you if i understtod your question properly.

Migrate G5 Quad to new iMac Quad

I just bought a new i7 iMac Quad and am wondering about migrating my files on my old G5 PPC Quad to the new iMac. Does the Migrate program know to not move the old programs that ran on the PPC chips? I was thinking that in order to clean house, I'd just manually move/import my iTunes and iPhoto libraries. I don't really have a bunch of other programs that I run a lot, except WoW. I know in advance that I'll have to download a new program for that. Any ideas or suggestions on what I should do as far as transferring files, programs, settings, etc, when I get the new iMac in a week or so?

Does the Migrate program know to not move the old programs that ran on the PPC chips?
No, it will move them, and most can run under Rosetta. But it won't overlay a new app with an old version.

As den.thed says, use +Setup Assistant.+ That way, you'll have the same configuration, old apps, user accounts, etc. You won't have to set up Mail again, for example, with all the account names, server names, passwords, mailboxes & rules, etc. Ditto your browser and other preferences.
Then if there's stuff you don't want, you can just delete it.

G5 PPC 4x2.5GHz Kernal Panic

Not sure of the full spec as it's not starting right now, but purchased in 2006 (last of PPC) Quad core 4 x 2.5GHz I have 6 GB RAM - 2x1GB original 2x2GB added.
Use it in line with my new iMac mainly for checking e-mails and a few other menial tasks (plus for some old software tasks) Has been a bit flaky recently sometimes starts, sometimes goes fan crazy during startup and the two red lights come on behind the cheese grater housing (mid LHS front by the power button).
Over the last couple of days it's become unusable. Either does not start in 20 goes (even with long rests between times.
If it does start can't get anything done before it crashes. Rinse and repeat!
Please be aware that I'm not at all IT orientated but have taken it apart and cleaned out the dust with a blower and PC battery hoover. Does not seem to be any leaks from the cooling system either.
Have done no special starts … are any recommended? Read a reset NVRAM post here but would not try anything like that without 100% confirmation from someone who knows my situation. http://alexking.org/blog/2006/12/15/powermac-quad-ram-fix

UPGRADING AND MIXING MEMORY ON MY MAC PRO QUAD CORE DUAL 2.8 (Xeon)?

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro Quad Core Dual 2.8GHz (Xeons) with 4GB of memory (2 x 1GB Apple modules + 2 x 1GB other brand - Shown as "Manufacturer 0x855D") and now I want to fill the other 4 memory slots by adding an additional 16GB (4 x 4GB modules) for a total of 20GB of RAM.
My 2 questions are:
1.- In which order/pattern should I install these new 4 X 4GB modules along with my original Apple 2 x 1GB modules and the "Manufacturer 0x855D" 2 x 1GB modules the best way (for better performance)? - I have heard stories that if I do it improperly, I could slow down my Mac Pro...
This is how I have them configured right now:
Raiser A / DIMM 1 = 1GB (Manufaturer "0x830B") - I assume this is the Apple memory, right?
Raiser A / DIMM 2 = 1GB (Manufaturer "0x830B")
Raiser A / DIMM 3 = Empty
Raiser A / DIMM 4 = Empty
Raiser B / DIMM 1 = 1GB (Manufacturer "0x855D") - How can I find which manufacturer is this?
Raiser B / DIMM 2 = 1GB (Manufacturer "0x855D")
Raiser B / DIMM 3 = Empty
Raiser B / DIMM 4 = Empty
2.- What brand would be most compatible to work with my Apple 2GB (2 x 1GB) factory memory? Kingston? Crucial? Mushkin? iRam? Corsair? OWC? (Does OWC sell their own brand? or which one do they carry?-its not specified on their web)
Thank you so much in advance for all your help!

Since the speed is ever so close, and the features are the same between the two, I would go with the 2720 due to the fact that it's about $200USD less. You will not see a difference in speed for 100mhz. Only long calculations, such as compressing a movie, MIGHT gain you just a minute or so with the extra 2mb of cache on the 2820, but not really worth it I think."

Hi,
For computers/laptops, nothing is perfect. You always can find a better one tomorrow. Depending on what do you need/want you can buy a suitable laptop for TODAY.
2. Processor: 2670QM should be fine
3. Graphics: stick with 6770M
5. HDD: I prefer 7200rpm HDD, in theory should be faster
6. 6 or 6 cells is ok, again depending how long you use the machine w/o power point nearby
7. It depends but I prefer full HD (1920 x 1080)
8. I would buy BD/DVD combo as mentioed in the specs
9. No choice anyway
10. BT (Bluetooth) is a technology which allows you to transmit and receive wirelessly over a short distance (I really don't know how far it can go but my phone only works within around 10 meters). You can use it for a BT mouse, keyboard, phone ... Please read more information from this:

A little disappointed in quad

First let me say that I am a photographer and not a computer whiz. I peruse these forums trying to learn as much as I can. I recently switched from an "old" dual 2.0 powermac to a quad. Originally sucked in by Aperture and wanted a machine to run it faster. I have since decided that Aperture in it's present form is unusable to me, but certainly expected much increased performance with my Adobe Bridge / CS2 workflow.
Previous G5 PM: dual 2.0, 3.5 g ram, ATI Radeon 9600 pro
Present quad: 6.5 g ram, geoforce 6600 (stock)
All external hard drives, etc. are the exact same as before. Photoshop configuration (scratch disk, ram usage, etc.) set exactly the same as before. Overall, the quad is definately much "snappier" and much improved for multi-tasking with different applications open, etc. but some commands and actions in PS are actually SLOWER?? Basic things like "save for web" and "file close" (command + w) give a brief spinning beachball now where before they were instantaneous. Actions I use constantly actually take longer now. Filters (sharpening, blur, skin soften, etc.) do run a little faster but the most basic commands take longer????
I used the firewire apple transfer utility to move all software, etc. to the new quad. I use external drives to store all image files, etc. just the same as before.
Am I expecting too much difference? Photoshop not able to take advantage of extra processing or ram?? Comments?
G5 Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Photoshop configuration (scratch disk, ram usage, etc.) set exactly the same as before
You shouldn't be needing a scratch disk anymore, Tiger is supposed to override Photoshop CS2's RAM limit and give it all it needs. (only CS2 supposedly)
4GB is supposed to give 40% more performance than 2GB in a Quad.
So what I'm guessing is your using up your RAM for other things, widgets, other programs and now your swapping to your scratch disk, which if you need one, really needs to be the fastest thing possible because your replacing a drive I/O speed for RAM.
A RAID O pair of the fastest drives and the fastest interface you got. This would need to be a pair of 10,000 RPM external SATA drives with a large cache, preferably 16MB, like a pair of 150 GB Western Digital RaptorX's in some sort of external enclosure like a MiniG with a Sonnet PCI SATA card, which for the Quad isn't quite out yet.
However a pair of empty Firewire 400 external drives each with a direct connection to the Quad and RAID O'ed, might do the job cheaper for less performance.
The important thing is you need a separate channel to each drive, I don't know how many Firewire 800 ports there are on the Quad, but you would need two to use this interface at maximum speed.
Of course the problem comes up that your hogging all your ports, you just can't disconnect a RAID O set as a scratch disk at will either and expect PS to be nice to you.
But it would be just better to get more RAM and get done with it.
Overall, the quad is definitely much "snappier" and much improved for multi-tasking with different applications open, etc. but some commands and actions in PS are actually SLOWER?? Basic things like "save for web" and "file close" (command + w) give a brief spinning beach-ball now where before they were instantaneous. Actions I use constantly actually take longer now. Filters (sharpening, blur, skin soften, etc.) do run a little faster but the most basic commands take longer????
This is your scratch, boot or file drive doing this to you.
Mac OS X performs much better with a very fast, slim boot drive as it caches all the time. Western Digital is coming out with a 10,000 RPM, 16MB cache, 150GB internal SATA which will make a excellent boot/itunes/bare bones "home" drive for performance. With your files in new folders on another internal drive, like the stock or something faster.
I had to RAID O my two Raptors (74GB each) to get a little more space as I keep them less than 50% filled for maximum performance in Mac OS X. However it can be a bit risky and I clone once a week to a external drive with daily file backups.
Needless to say I don't see many beach-balls.
Now another thing is you got the stock video card, supposedly some processing is dumped to that, so that might be affecting performance.
Also you have to expect that PS CS2 isn't quite fully optimized for a Quad yet, it's are pretty recent hardware addition, and there is a lot of software being recoded at Adobe from Code-warrior (now obsolete) to X-Code for Universal Binaries.
Adobe might be standardizing their code based on a dual core, because most Mac's and PC's will be having that and it's easier to write once than to write a special version for Quads. Who knows? We will find out later I guess.
What's important is you got a monster computer at a great price, the software will have to catch up that's all. Just get more RAM so you have PS CS2 use it's 4GB needed and then make sure you get more to cover anything else you like to run at the same time. Run everything in RAM as much as possible without swapping to your boot drive or scratch disk.
I have some more performance and cloning info at my site, take a peak

Cleaning my mac of malware

so recently i used a torrent software to download something. now i have these little green boxes with arrows next to them near random words. they have little pop ups when i scroll over them. i know that its some sort of malware, but not what exactly. it changes my search engine everytime to "quicksearch" even when i use the google search bar. how do i clean my macbook pro of these viruses? i just updated to the most recent OSx like two days ago. can anyone give me specific steps to clean this up? i cant really search anywhere on my computer because of this problem.

There is no need to repeat the mistake you already made of downloading unknown software.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Best Order to Perform Cleaning and Maintenance?

Hello. Is there any order that's best to run System Maintenance Scripts, Caches cleaning, Optimizing the System, and Rebuilding the Launch Services Database? Do I need to restart between any of the operations, or just one time after they're all completed? Thanks.

Hello. Is there any order that's best to run System Maintenance Scripts, Caches cleaning, Optimizing the System, and Rebuilding the Launch Services Database?
Yes, after a complete backup, and after not doing any of the listed things unless you are actually having problems.
Seriously, back up before doing things to the system. None of the things you mentioned really needs doing unless you are actually having problems.
OSX runs its own maintenance scripts that do some of the things.
Maybe rebuild LaunchServvices if it is really looking messy and you are having problems with files finding applications.
I am not sure exactly what "Optimizing the System" is. This sounds to me like it is coming out of some disk defragmentation utility. OSX does some defragmentation on its own and you only get into serious fragmentation issues if you crowd your drive with huge files.
The best maintenance thing you can do is make sure you always have sufficient disc space so OSX can run comfortably. OSX is always creating temporary files. On my computer it routinely uses 6GB drive space so I like to leave it about 18 minimum.
Periodically run Disk Utility to verify your drive and permissions, especially before and after installing software and if you have problems. Repair if necessary.

My client wants to save time on cloning, and has asked for database only refresh - meaning that we dont clone to the application tier, but only to the database.
What steps must be taken once the db clone has completed? Need I run autoconfig? What about all the profiles that will be pointing to LIVE in the database?
Thanks.

hi Dan
this is covered in the Rapid Clone documents -- Refreshing a Target System

you should run adautocfg.sh on the application tier as well. Otherwise the essential information regarding your application tier will not be registered within the database and you will not be able to connect to your database through the application.
adcfgclone will not be necessary on the application tier.
Yes, you need to run AutoConfig to populate FND_NODES with the application nodes information. You may also need to clear the FND_NODES table as described in the following note:
