• Computer cleaning question

  I'm afraid that my computer does not run much more.  I bet on the defrag and system cleaning I have on my computer, but I think I should invest in one or more of these registry cleaning software discs.  Is anyone here know of a reliable and relatively inexpensive?  Or, if not, does anyone know of a freeware type? (These things exceed my ability to afford it since I'm already back Sec Soc limited.)  Thank you!

• Preinstallation cleaning question

  Version 2.18. We are runing the step of configuration to do on ' 9.1 - apply patch 7303029'.»» The text of the wizard for this step:
  .
  «Before you apply the 7303029, if you have applied another patch previously in mode preinstall and not intended to merge with 12.1.1 upgrade driver u6678700.drv, clean up the directory $APPL_TOP/admin / $TWO_TASK/preinstall after taking the backup of the current directory.»
  .
  ' This step will download . patch 7303029 and clean up the preinstallation directory so that only 7303029 rest. He will also check that the u67780700.drv driver is in the location OK and ready to merge. »
  .
  By examining the script ad34009s.sh, it shows that all the code that installs no matter what folder content preinstallation in a backup folder have been deleted (17 December 2010), the text of which will make the step can be misleading.
  .
  Question: We have applied 15 financials patches in mode preinstall on the step "Check critical fixes to pre-upgrade for financial services" and all of these drivers are located in our folder of preinstallation. Should we leave these in the preinstall file or not? Thank you!

  Yes - I had development remove the cleanup so that it would remove all financial patches preinstalled - I fixed text so that it is not misleading. Please leave all financial patches preinstalled in the preinstallation directory and they will all get merged into the new driver.

  Thank you

• Sensor cleaning question

  Hi all!

  Zoom by itself will not change the size of a sensor dust spot, but the place will become short, and so small, that the opening is reduced.

  Depending on what device you have you can or can not have self sensor cleaning. It occurs whenever you stop or restart the device. You can also force this one operating step with the red arrow in the screen shot below.

  If you have a Rocket Blower (never use canned air), you can try manual ccleaning - blue arrow.

  You remove the lens, press manual cleaning and the mirror goes up and the shutter opens. Give a few whiffs of the blower and see if you can dislodge the dust spot.

  You can Google vidoes on how to clean the sensor.

• Double LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST places. One is FRA the other is regular ASM no disc. Cleaning question

  Double LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST places. One is FRA the other is regular ASM no disc.

  Oracle does not recommend manually delete logs archiving of the FRA, but rather let the FRA cleaning place based on archive political log deletion and backup retention policy, which works perfectly, but now that we have newspapers archive mirrored on a location not FRA to clean archives connects to this place with RMAN. How can we clean up the FRA NO cleaning is not the FRA through rman?

  Just use:

  RMAN > BACKUP AS ARCHIVELOG '+ DB_FRA/dborcl/archivelog/%' ENTRY DELETE;

  With the ENTRY to be REMOVED, RMAN only deletes the specific copy of the newspaper of archived recovery chosen for the backup set.

  REMOVE all THE ENTRIES, RMAN deletes each file backed up log redo archived log destinations archiving.

  It backs up from a specific location and delete it after backup.

• What anti-virus/anti-malware programs in conflict with one another?

  many have said that too many anti-virus/anti-malware programs installed can damage these collide with one another, causing the programs may not run correctly and sometimes cause the computer hang very badly. So what programs shock/does not shock with another?

  (eg. malwarebytes and norton are compatible)

  It seems that your registry cleaner question has not been answered.

  The so-called "registry cleaners" can aggravate a situation and take measures, we are manually updated on many times.
  It is better not to rely on these programs, if you don't know what is happening with the proposed fix and the registry.
  Otherwise, a change in the registry can make a system that no longer starts due to an error.

  Here are a few good discussions:

  Hi Bertold,

  It is hard to say without actually debugging. I don't think it's important. Here are internal utilities that we use to simulate different actions, and they are not documented or taken care of. You are free to take a look at the source and copy/modify as needed for your own use.

  However, if you try to analyze a log cleaning question, my guess is that the difference you see here don't you is not directed towards the solution.

• Question seeks to clean install 10 Windows on the drive of the merger. El Capitan.

  Problem: try a clean install of Windows 10 via the Boot Camp Assistant on an iMac 27 inches (Late2013) with 10.11.4 installs hours (more than 8 hours) and then failed to install Boot Camp updates. Essentially installation take much long than normal and cannot install updates of the Apple software or create normally start Windows Boot Camp 10.

  Background: After problems of slowing down after upgrading to 10.11.4 (with improved Bootcamp Windows 10) who had previously worked fine for 10 months, to the point of a start of OS X time, I decided to do a clean install of my iMac with Fusion 3 to disk.

  As I was unable to remove the partition from Boot Camp through BCA because of his holding always at the same load, I used Internet recovery and reset the Fusion drive. This then required me to repair the partition of Fusion by car through THE "fix" option which seems to work very well. And reinstalled OS X 10.11.4 which works fine now (delays etc..)

  Try using BCA to create a new partition Boot Camp and a clean Windows 10 install after downloading an image of disk W10 directly from Microsoft (Win10_1511_1_English_x64), BCA by downloading software updates and by selecting the desired partition, it began to restart and initialize the installation. However the whole process has been very slow, each step takes much longer than usual, to progress. Leave for hours rest a blank screen or with a circle of rotation.

  I tried with another stick USB 3 and also a USB 2 stick, but none has made a difference.

  In the last attempt, I left running overnight and after 8-9 hours, he finally reaches the top of desktop Windows 10 and the update of Apple Bootcamp starts to load updates. However, he just hung and even after 2 hours, nothing was. Reboot and try once again has been the same.

  After that I tried to create a Windows Installer via BCA 8.0 however it gives just a TPG error when you try to select the drive (due to el Capitan I guess?)

  After four days of efforts, I'm a loser on how to get the Windows 10 on the Boot Camp partition. I can't even install W8 and upgrade due to the error of TPG.

  Any help or suggestions how to proceed with the diagnostic / resolution of the problem would be appreciated.

  Details:

  System: iMac (27 inch, end of 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 M 4096 MB, OS X 10.11.4

  • Nothing other than the keyboard and mouse attached via the USB ports, as well as the key USB of BCA. No other attached devices.
  • Reset memory NVRAM, SMC and ran more than once disk utility. No problem not reported.  Ran NVRAM reset before each attempt.
  • At ran EtreCheck report which seemed OK.
  • Verification of diagnosis ran who is childless.

  A detail I noticed after the merger by car there are now two Macintosh HD images when you use boot option. One previously. Are named "Macintosh HD" and "Macintosh HD2". I remember being Yosemite simultaneously in three, but which has been fixed in an update.

  In addition, it seems that no recovery partition. Cmd + R lance Internet recovery.

  Summary:

  Q1: Should it take 4 + hours to install Windows 10 via BCA?

  Q2: Al must ultimately be so slow when initially W10 desktop?

  Q3; What I do once I arrive at the office of W10 but it automatically updates the graphics driver as BC update is simply suspended for centuries and get a working driver to restart at least W10?

  Q4: is there a problem with the disk HARD the Drive of Fusion that is causing all this delay and slow install / boot? ON the clean install OS X 10.11.4 it is back to be fast as usual and all tests show things are OK but W10 goes on the part of the HARD drive. No way to verify this beyond diagnosis or Etrecheck?

  Q5: Y at - it no problem with the GPT / MBR that may be causing the delay etc. ?

  Q6: How can I use my existing WindowsImageBackup backup from the previous W10 with the BCA install usb drive or how to create a USB stick otherwise recovery disk with my other single Mac have W7?

  Q7: How can I install W8 as I once did on Yosemite, via el Capitan without a mistake to TPG on selection of disc?

  Details:

  Day 5. Attempt at 6.

  Partition Boot Camp delete and try again install via BCA. First question, is that when the startup it goes to a blank black screen. For a time nothing left. Reset then using alt to select windows training results in almost instantaneous startup of the BCA message created and the beginning of the installation.

  4 1/2 hours from start of Windows 10 initial signature window.

  Then the second question. One to reach the Boot Camp update Office tries to start and install the drivers. Allows you to "list files...". "stage then sits at the bar about 5% green for 1 to 2 hours and does nothing. All actions in the Office of the W10 takes ages.

  In the meantime, auto update of the W10 appears a message saying that the updated graphics drivers as one of the few messages or actions during this period. Looks like Nvidia install with the entire package of experience (unwanted) etc. and very probably not the correct gpu driver.

  Finally deciding to cancel the installation of BC by killing the Setup.exe process. Then copy Boot camp install files on the desktop. Lasts 30 minutes to copy. Run again and this time, although taking 15-20 minutes to download and install later with the success message.

  Check the graphic driver it shows a yellow exclamation mark, so the following Microsoft instructions I use the uninstall option via the device and then Manager (slowly) come on board to load and download the latest Nvidia driver on their site for the GTX 780 M for 64-bit W10 etc. The same thing that I had used previously. Slow with running the Nvidia Setup program again, but eventually it works only to say that he could not install as unrecognized graphics device...

  He ends up with Microsoft PnP driver so it's at least sufficient start and run it again BC of the figure updates as all other drivers have been installed. To restart, but I get an error of K-Mode that is most likely related to this driver graphic and not possible to start in the new W10 Boot Camp partition after 7 hours.

  I have a picture of W10 backup recovery (WindowsImageBackup) I've had in a few weeks, but it will not install bet for the installed W10. I try with the ACO created the USB windows but can't seem to get a way to get into recovery mode and to get the menu to install it. I don't have a way to create a USB W10 recovery key now because my other Mac has just installed W7.

  Finally I tried to count a reset of the Recovery boot up option but it seems that it will take longer to start.

  I also went to the recovery and selected Boot Mode safe, but it opens on an empty black window and he's here doing nothing.

  Looks like I'll have to restart on via BCA and reinstall and try and solve the problem of graphics in order to install driver updates from BC and restart to W10 and hope that with the drivers, it returns to the operation and the normal starting time. Then update the gpu driver.

  I used and installed Boot Camp several times with over the years including previously an upgrade of W8.1 > W10 I used for over 6 months without problem. I've never known these installation very long or ice once in Windows even for the initial start upward.

  For any help or suggestion would be appreciated, and this seemingly simple process has now expanded to five days.

• Free Windows 7 Upgrade Clean install questions

  Hi, I have recently buy a Mini 5101 it comes with XP Pro and Vista Business... I currently have Vista Business installed on it. I wonder about the process of upgrading to windows 7. On the free upgrade Web site it is said that the operating system can be upgraded to windows 7, according to the weather, I have vista (upgrade straigh) or xp (must be a stable cleaning). Now, my question is can I perform a clean installation with this upgrade? I know that normally you can perform a clean install via the insertion of the disc of the previous operating system media during installation, but as the Min 5101 is a netbook (no cd drive) I will probably install it via a USB key. It is very important for me to have a clean install.

  On the upgrade Web site, it says that if you are using XP pro, you must perform a clean installation. It would be better for me to install XP now order the update, and then install Vista so that I can get the version that will allow me to perform a clean installation - or I'd get the same disc anyway?

  I know the installation disc doesn't have not yet been outside and not so should know the process entirely. Kind of hope that someone will have knowledge on this subject.

  The installation media will allow you to perform a clean installation 'upgrade' using product key of the current operating system during installation. This allows him to check that you are upgrading from a previous version of Windows.

• anybody out there ever use Mackeeper to clean their Pro? Overtime I start my Pro I get 2 screens telling me that I have 170 questions requiring free cleaning up to 600 mb.s. How can I get these two screens to stop posting overtime?

  Whenever I start my MacPro, 2 screens come in saying that I have to clean my Pro because there are 700 questions.  They want $40 to clean the MacPro? How to stop these 2 screens of popping up whenever I start it? Or should I really do it? Has anyone here ever used Mackeeper?  They are not associated with Apple

  I would highly recommend against installing MacKeeper. It is much better to cause problems then he resolve them.

  Pop - up that claim that you have problems on your Mac is scams. You don't want to call them or allow them to have access to your Mac.
