System maintenance

i ran ONYX and COCKTAIL on my macbook and both asked me to repair my startup disk.
how can i do this?
i have only ran VERIFY DISK and REPAIR DISK PERMISSIONS.
please help. thanks.

Put in your start-up CD, and from the menu choose Disk Utility. Once there, choose Repair. It looks the same as the Disk Utility on your hard drive, but you can't repair the hard drive from the hard drive itself, and so you have to do it from the CD.

  • 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
    See the end of this message for details on invoking
    just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

  • 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.

  • 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:

    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?

  • 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
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 329 Sep 28 2004 anacrontab
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 27 15:37 cron.d

  • Multiple system maintenance cycles are not shown in pop up for selection

    Hi,
    In change manager, when we create a change document from a change request, we dont get a pop up for selection of maintenance cycles with multiple systems in it.
    The change document is getting created by taking the only available maintenance cycle with only that system.
    Is there any configuration for this?
    Regards,
    Dipti Sawarkar.

    Hi Christian,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I know the pop up will come only when there is more than one maintenance cycles for that production system.
    I have done configuration for Normal correction.( SDMJ) and customized it (ZDMJ).
    When I try to create a CD* from CR* for a particular production system ( CCP) , it just takes up a maintenance cycle for CCP system and doesnt show up any pop for selection of maint cycles whereas I have created 5 maintenance cycles for this system CCP.
    The other 4 maintenance cycles have multiple landscapes (CCP and EAP )in it whereas this one (which gets selected by default) just has CCP landscape in it.
    The strange part is that when I try to create a stand alone CD ( without CR ) , it will give that pop up showing all 5 maint cycles. But this is not happening when I create a CD from a CR.
    I have never done/ seen configuration for the pop up of selecting maint cycles in ChaRM.
    Looking forward to ur help,
    ( *CD - Change Document  and * CR - Change Request)
    Regards,
    Dipti Sawarkar.

  • Assign patch levels for component versions of system: Maintenance Optimizer

    Hello,
    I am trying to have Maintenance Optimizer check for what files I need to download.  However, I get the following error:
    Assign patch levels for component versions of system SXM.
    I susepect that the problem really lies in the fact that the "SP Levels" in the "Software Components" tab is not populated in SMSY.
    Does something read that information from the child system and populate the data automatically?  This is a new system install, and perhaps a step was missed in solman.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John,
    MOPZ directs you to SAP Software Download Center in order to show you the lastest status and available packages.
    If you are not seeing the packages perhaps you created you satellite system at solution manager pointing to the wrong product/version.
    MOPZ is created to point you to the available Support Package Stacks for its products.
    Normally one creates a system in solution manager defining it as an ECC server ( this does not have a download page for MOPZ ) when the correct assignment would be SAP ERP ( this last has a download page for MOPZ ).
    If this is your case, you´ll need to redefine the satellite system again in our solution manager.
    hope this helps.

  • Arch Linux System Maintenance

    I have a few questions regarding maintenance of Arch Linux.
    I come from Gentoo where I typically execute the following:
    emerge --sync
    emerge -uDNv world
    emerge --depclean
    revdep-rebuild
    I suppose emerge --sync && emerge -uDNv world is equivalent to pacman -Syu. But as for emerge --depclean, I have not seen what command could be used to find stray/obsoleted dependencies and have them removed. Should I be using pacman -Rs <package_name> every time I want to delete a package?
    revdep-rebuild probably does not apply to Arch Linux as it is binary based.
    Additionally, I was wondering if there are more things I should do to ensure that my installation is healthy. Any help/tips would be appreciated.

    .....revdep-rebuild probably does not apply to Arch Linux as it is binary based.....
    For most users Archlinux is not a pure binary distro in practice.  We need packages from AUR for a complete system.  On my Arch system today I see that that there are 182 binary packages available in abs/core, 1957 packages in abs/extra, and 2340 packages in abs/community; so there are a total of 4479 binary packages available in Archlinux.  By comparison my Gentoo system has 17348 packages available in portage, and more packages available in various overlays, and they are all updated properly by emerge -auDN @world.
    There are 41182 source-based packages available in my copy of Archlinux's AUR.  Unfortunately pacman -Syu does not know how to update AUR packages and they may be left with dangling references to libraries that got updated out from under them.
    AUR packages tend to get broken by updates.  So we do need something like revdep-rebuild but so far as I know we don't have any equivalent maintenance tool.  I use my own script for checking my system for AUR packages that need to be rebuilt: 
    #!/bin/sh
    # check all binaries in /usr/bin for any with "not found"
    # library links
    cd /usr/bin
    for file in $(find . -type f -executable -readable)
    do
    ldd $file | grep "not found" >/dev/null && echo -n $file " links to an missing library " && \
    echo "(rebuild `pacman -Qq --owns $file`)"
    done
    Good luck with your new Archlinux system.
    Thanks very much, I added that script to my system! I am half surprised that something like this doesn't exist natively in pacman.

    Welcome from a fellow Gentoo refugee !  I miss that distribution sometimes, but I love Archlinux; mostly because it does not seem to suffer the sort of bit rot with age as does Gentoo.  I recall that subtle changes in use flags could come back to bite weeks later when you update something seemingly unrelated (especially +doc) Spend some time around here and you will find that housekeeping is really not an issue.  I do still build custom kernels and don't use initrd; one cannot completely break old habits
    Good to see some former Gentoo users here. I still use Gentoo as my desktop OS, but my new Ultrabook will have to use Arch Linux. I'd rather not kill the life of the SSD by constantly compiling packages (not to mention that the emerge times for installing something trivial could get stupid on a laptop). I've been doing as much reading as I can to get familiarized with Arch Linux and I am liking everything so far. It is a nice change to go to a binary distro that isn't Ubuntu.
