Suggestions for routine maintenance?

My daugter is heading off to college with a new 15" MBP. Any suggestions for simple, regular maintenace she could do?

To be honest, Macs don't need much maintenance. There are scripts scheduled to run in the middle of the night which don't run if the machine is off. Some people like to run these manually using a utility like macjanitor.
Personally I prefer anacron - it runs the scripts automatically if missed.
http://members.cox.net/18james/anacron-tiger.html
SO download and install that.
Other than that, run software update regularly.
And...when updating software, run repair disk permissions, from the disk utility in applications/utilities - I keep it on the dock.
Can't think of anything else worth doing as regular maintenance.
Best of luck.

  • Maintenance history for Routine Maintenance Orders

    Hi I want to know where the work order history to be entered for the Functional Location for future reference and analysis for a routine maintenance order. Normally for routine maintenance we dont raise notification and directly order is created from the maintenance plan/item. Please reply.

    Depends on how you plan to use that history. If you need to do data analysis of this history then may be you should use the notification by creating it. If it is just to record info then I feel that entering the explanation in the long text during time confirmation or in the order header etc.. should be good. I feel the first option is good. Try it. If u find it too cumbersome then shift over to the second. Right now I can only think of these two.
    thanks

  • Any suggestions for maintenance on my 2008 MBP?

    So I bought my 2.4Ghz MBP last October. It works pretty good, and I run all media software programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, Logic, Ableton Live) But after time it seems like my maching is running sluggish. I get the rainbow windmill a lot now (mainly when I'm on the internet) and it just seems to drag more....
    Can anyone lend me some SOLID methods of maintenance??? I'm not familiar with any kind of maintenance on Macs.... Your help would be appreciated Thanks!

    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. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or 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 this isn't the case, 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 had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.
    OS X automatically defrags 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.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles 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 commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard.
    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. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
    6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    8. Data Backup (Commercial)
    9. SilverKeeper 2.0 (Freeware)
    10. MimMac (Commercial)
    11. CloneTool Hatchery (Shareware)
    12. Clone X (Commercial)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. Toast
    3. Impression
    4. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
    Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.

  • Routine maintenance for imac

    I have been using my imac for over a year now and have never installed an antivirus program. Does an apple computer need antivirus software? If so, which kind?
    Also, do I need to do routine maintenance for my imac such as:
    .spyware search
    .defragment the hard drive
    .and of course the antivirus
    .scan disc
    Or, what else do I need? My computer is running fine, but may be a little slower browsing.
    Thanks in advance for any guidance.

    Hi Doxy,
    Christopher is right: Yes, you can install some antivirus and spyware watch software, but it's not (yet) necessary on a Mac.
    Just make sure Firewall is on, in System Preferences > Sharing,
    and of course never open an application that you're not sure of, this kind of email common sense behaviour...
    Maintenance:
    Pretty much almost everything is automatic in Mac OS X.
    All you really need is:
    - Backup!
    - Keep at least 15% free space on your hard drive.
    That's it.
    You can also:
    - Run the "Daily", the "Weekly" and the "Monthly" tasks (using OnyX or such utility), all three together once a month is fine.
    - Repair permissions (Disk Utility from the Utilities folder) after using an Apple installer or Software Update.
    Before an important update or twice a year:
    - Repair Disk (Disk Utility from the Tiger DVD).
    Slower browsing:
    Try deleting this folder
    Home/Library/Safari/Icons
    and emptying Cache (menu Safari > Empty Cache)
    or equivalent if you use another browser.
    This will slow a few pages down for only a few minutes, and make it start fresh with no old, usused stuff that you keep since the beginning.

  • Suggestions for how to execute file maintenance in SQL Agent Job

    I need to create a SQL Agent Job (it has to be a SQL agent job) to zip all files in a directory, delete all files in the directory but the zip file and then copy the zip file to another location across a UNC path. What are some suggestions for getting
    this done? 
    Thanks.

    This is about a previous topic ...
    "1. Please close your preview thread by marking the answers that you got and not your own summary. Actualy you can mark your summary as well if you feel that this close the thread but yet, this is a summary of the answers that you got! People
    that help you Invested time to help you. Feel free to
    not be lazy and start you can start voting helpful responses as well :-)"
    How do you mark useful answers? I have not seen how to do that.
    On the left of each response you have an icon (small image).
    I have asked lots of questions on the TechNet and other forums. (One day I hope to even answer some.) That was the first time I had ever marked my own as the answer. Honestly, I did not use any of those well meaning replies and did not feel that any of them
    answered my question. When researching a topic I, like most people, I look at the marked answer first and assume it is the answer. Did not feel that  any of them were the answer. There is a great push on this forum to mark the answer and there are droves
    of people clamoring for points (BTW - you are not one of them). I review each of my questions, always follow up on any  replies, post my solution if appropriate, and always try to close the topic. But this one was not answered.
    OK, that is logic, If you dont think that you use other response as part of the answer. In my opinion (and you dont have to get it) if an answer is build from 3 responses together then we need to mark all the three (and mentioned in the summery what we have
    done). If you find that those response cant be called "answer" since they do not cover enough then maybe your call was correct.
    Please close the thread in the way that you feel is OK :-)
    (you dont have to accept my opinion since you have your explanation, but i do think that some of the responses there are answers).

    hi vikrant,
    You can a Cube at the reporting layer  which gets data from DSO and which has these 2 extra characteristics completion date and previous cycle along with other chars and keyfigures from DSO.
    You can populate these  based on your logic in the field routine.
    Hope it helps.

  • Any Routine Maintenance?

    I'm wondering if there is any type of routine maintenance I need to perform on my MacBook similar to that of a PC. I remember when owning a PC, I had to do disk compression, etc.
    Also, when I want to uninstall a program in the applications folder, is it as simple as clicking the program icon and deleting it? Is there any other type of uninstall process I need to go through?
    I'm trying to make sure that I have all of the free space available on my computer.
    Thank you for all of your help!

  • User exit IPRM0002 for preventive maintenance

    user exit IPRM0002 for preventive maintenance
    has anyone used this user exit? or BADI: BAdI: IPRM_MCP_SCHE_CHANGE  ?
    I seem to have some difficulty in knowing how to use these....
    I need to basically be able to influence a calling date for next PMorder to be opened but documentation is not explanatory and, even if I do know what these exit/badi are used for, i do not understand how to use the parameters provided.
    can anyone help?

    Hi,
      I dont think you would be able to test the exit if you dont implement them for the user exits simply passing the parameters wont help,actually there is a process of implementing a USER-EXIT i suppose u would already be familiar to it, I order to activate the exit you have to create a project in CMOD transaction and assign the enhancement to that and then also create the include that is avaliable inside the FM and there you would be able to put your code.
      For the BAPIs ,yes the control should go inside the BADI once you put a breakd point inside the right method but there to you need to implement the BADI and then you can put your code in the method for the effects to take place and you can test.
    The detail process of implementation are already avaliable on SCN, It seems that you dont have developer authorizations so i would suggest to take help from some one who has, Best of Luck:).

  • FICA: Clearing rules for account maintenance & auto clearing to apply credits against unpaid security deposits regardless of due date

    Hi Folks,
    We have a requirement in FICA clearing rules to apply the payment against unpaid security deposit irrespective of the due date. I have the below rule configured as the first step in my clearing variant.
    Grouping String: 019 (statistical indicator); Grp Rule: 3; Char Value: H (security deposits); AIRI: 4;  Group: 019
    Sort characteristic: 010 (Due date); Rank: 3; Char value: H; Rank: 1
    I have maintained the corresponding clearing variant in all the clearing types (account maintenance, automatic clearing, and incoming payments); Clearing rule is working perfectly during payments, however for account maintenance and automatic clearing it's not applying the credits against security deposits first. I still see that the items are cleared only based on due date;
    Am I missing something here? Please share your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Santosh

    Santosh:
    This rule will not work in account maintenance.  You would need to include the data about the credits into your grouping criteria in order for that to work.  Most clearing rules do not work for account maintenance as they do for payments.  You probably need to have a separate variant with a rule not based on statistical indicator, but rather based on transaction value or maybe create your own custom grouping via TFK116.
    regards,
    bill.

    Hi Marilyn,
    Thanks a lot for the reply, it's good to see that even the not-so-polite rant postings are taken serious and get attention. I think that most of us truly appreciate the platform SAP is providing, but we're a bit tired with some of the application features/limitations. So I hope nobody takes offense when we're venting a bit...
    Waiting for more input here.
    I neither understand the <em>more input</em> (for what and by whom) nor the <em>here</em> (this thread or this forum). The missing functionality for dealing with unanswered questions seems obvious enough. At least that should be one topic that everybody agrees on. I suspect that the same applies to the rather poor <em>search capabilities</em>. Though as we can see in the forums, lots of people apparently seem to prefer to quickly shoot some questions instead of wasting their time with any research...
    Continue to convince us please.
    Is that a polite way of saying <em>keep on whining</em>? If yes, then no problem, I think we all need to do that from time to time...
    If the feedback from the community is truly important, I'd say that there should be a public system for posting bugs/feature requests on which people could vote. This should be prominently placed in the forums and would allow easier feedback. The voting feature could be used to possibly limit the bugs/requested features to look at (e.g. top ten list) and then be classified by SAP based on implementation effort (with the usual disclaimer that no feature might ever be implemented just because it's wanted). Needless to say that it should be easy to search for already existing requests, but in general I'd assume that fairly soon there would be more voting (on top requests) than posting new ones...
    To channel requests and avoid too many silly postings in this bug/feature tool one could imagine using earned <em>forum points</em> possibly as a currency for putting a value to the requests (i.e. I could vote to say if feature A gets implemented I'd pay it with N forum points, which are deducted from my account once the feature is present). I'm not sure if that is a good idea, but at least it might ensure that people who truly care about the platform enter their comments. At least it seems that often systems, which implement some artificial monetary system and try to optimize on cost, yield very good results...

  • BIA Test: Suggestion for creating enormousTest Data for Infocubes

    Hi,
    I need to create some enormous amount of data for infocube in order to test BIA.
    I don't think my basis team will allow me to load data from Production to Sandbox and moreover production has less than 250 millions records.
    Any suggestion for 250 million records?

    Hello,
    Just an idea. If you can load a minimum of data for your cube then it is easy.
    You just have to generate for your cube for instance a datasource and then create some update rules to loop on your data.
    a. generate export datasource
    b. map it to your infosource
    c. define some update rules to ensuere your data will be different. For example in the start routine.
    Hope it helps.

  • Maintain LGREG for material maintenance

    Dear all,
    my customer wants the possibility to maintain import tariff numbers in the section ' GTS area menu > Customs Mgmt > Master data '. I have customized the according legal regulation, but I am facing 2 strange things:
    1. Some LGREGs are available for material maintenance, although they are not 'activated' in the section "Customs Processing" Service. 'My' new LGREG will be available for material maintenance, ONLY when activating it in the section "Customs Processing" Service.  Why is this behaviour different to the other LGREGs? (Resp.: Which settings changes this?)
    Customs processing > Display outbound activities (transaction is /SAPSLL/CL_CP_CUS_EXP )
    2.1. Once my import LGREG is activated for customs, going to the export menu (overview about customs declarations) I will see entries doubled.
    E. g.: Export Declaration: Open / In Process. This is now shown as Open / Open / In Process / In Process.
    2.2. Why do I see my import regulation in the 'outbound' menu? This does not make sense to me. Is this an error, or 'Standard system behaviour'? If standard, what's the purpose of that?
    ^^Your helpful feedback on this is appreciated! Thank you very much in advance!!!

    "The first part of your question seems confusing (or confused). You cannot maintain Tariff Codes in the "Master Data" area of the system, for any Legal Regulation. Please clarify the exact navigation path and/or Transaction you are trying to use."
    Going to the described menu, check for the 'classification' tab. You can call up a random material and will see to which LGREGs / numbering schemes the material can be assigned.  "My new LGREG" appears only when activating it in the Customs processing service, while others can be chosen without being activated for import / export.
    GTS area menu > Cust.mgmt / Master data > Maintain products
    SPRO > SAP Global Trade Services > SAP Customs Management > "Customs Processing" Service > Activate Legal Regulations
    "The second part suggests that you are trying to configure Customs Management for a non-standard country - is that correct? If so, you will really need to attend the GTS 100 and 200 training courses in order to gain enough expertise to do that. It seems like you have fallen into some obvious traps, and I don't think anyone on the forum will want to, or be able to, guide you right through the process."
    I am afraid your assumption is wrong, it's a standard country. Questions like "why are the entries doubled in a specific menu" are not covered by GTS200 training. (BTW; apparently the table causing the double-entries is /SAPSLL/ALRG01). I believe this is related to settings made in the customizing but as stated ago, I am wondering about the system behaviour.
    Dave, I don't know why you spend time to tell people that you are not willing to help, but your personal negative comment is inappropriate. See, there are 1177 GTS-related threads and they were posted because people had 1177 questions they could not answer on their own. If people knew the answer, they would not ask. Please leave the forum to users willing to help, thanks for your kind understanding.

  • HT1338 My Mac book Pro is running very slow and the rainbow ball is appearing all the time. Any suggestions for clean up??

    My Mac book Pro is running very slow and the rainbow ball is appearing all the time. Any suggestions for clean up?? I have the OS X Lion system.

    As well as what a brody asked :
    - do you need more RAM? (run Activity Monitor and see how much free RAM - green - is available)
    - do you Restart fairly regularly, e.g. at least once a week, to clear out any swap or temporary files?
    - do  you need to do maintenance, e.g. clearing out caches and unused logs, etc?

  • Performing a "clean install" of 10.6 as routine maintenance?

    Does anyone regularly wipe out their entire Mac OS 10.6.8 and perform a "clean rinstall" as part of a routine maintenance regimine? I was always told an OS reinstall was overkill, unless you were having issues that could not be resolved through traditional trouble-shooting methods, and that it wasn't something that was necessary to do on a regular basis. Considering how much time it takes to reinstall the OS and upgrade all the apps to the latest versions, is there any new reason I'm not aware of as to why someone would need to do this for 10.6.8 on a regular basis in a work environment if they aren't experiencing any issues? Thanks for any opinions.

    Are you using the original gray-faced OS X DVDs that came with the system (if so, what OS X level does it say on the disk) or a retail copy of OS X 10.6 or another gray-faced OS X disk from another system? You can't use a gray-faced OS X disk from, for example, an iMac or MacBook Pro, to install on your MacBook. 
    Was it originally delivered with an OS X level that is greater than what you're trying to install? You can't install an earlier level than what came with the system.
    Did you boot to the DVD, and use Disk Utility to create one disk partition, then reboot and try to install?
