Speaking of checklists... Perhaps making one with specific steps will help our friend. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.

I kinda made an unstructured checklist I guess.. I´m getting old.
It would have been better to do this by chat I guess.
Only problem is that Im busy doing some paperwork here. taxes... _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

You are sure that:
1. You managed to boot from the second drive.,
2. That you checked the right drive? _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

oh shit, did my other post come up? I can see it....um, i said that all the results seemed rather petty. Icon flags, text encoding etc,
um, i am booted up from my external hard drive although i can try restarting again.......but i surely did click on the right drive, being there are only two really. It is my HD drive. Is this not what you expected? _________________ Lets get it! |

I need to see the report just to make sure we know what we are dealing with here. When all this is done hopefully we can get back to the DP prob. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

I'm up for another 2 hours. After that I'll be on about 8 hours after that. I'm on UK summer time
Digiton, once we know your drive is clean, we'll look at the DP project. I'd like you to try to pull the tracks out of the old project into a new one when your drive is given a clean bill of health.
I won't quote the DP manual about backing up and saving, because I've been caught out myself. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.

The report is looking good. Nothing exciting here. Just you go "rebuild".
But.. do not restart and boot into the old system just yet. While we are at it, we might just as well do some housecleaning.

WHile Digiton is at it, I was just about to suggest he manually cleans out his Users/Digiton/Library/Cache/
Unless... DP should for some reason want to manage its own cache items or whatever.
THink about it.. we could kill those other cache folders too as well.
Anyways, I want to suggest to Digiton to "check files" with DW. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

After I have gotten the results of the files check.. we will look at the caches..
You have 3 main places where files and shit are being cached. THis is a good thing, but clutter might build up a bit.. and some cached items just could be sick or corrupted. I dunno how DP uses this.
Killing the contents of the Caches folders is a smart move3 now and then.
- On your main drive.. not the one you are booting from now..
/Library/Caches/ - everything in here can go into the trash - unless EdisonRex is telling us something else..
same goes with
/Users/Digiton/Library/Caches/ ---- same...
Uh.. Keep the Caches folders.. but throw away what is inside.. while you are in here.. take a look around. You will see familiar names.. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

You know what I need? I need you to post more of your stuff. I listened to that thing you did on leafcutterjohn's site. I'd like to see what else you do. That'd pay me back.
I don't need much, actually. Like elektro80 has been saying, deep breaths, calm down, we'll figure it all out and maybe save some other poor sod the trouble later.
When you get past the Mac stuff, and back to DP stuff, I'll be happy to walk with you. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.

there is nothing in these directories that DP will not rebuild. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.

We also have System/Library/Caches ...
trivia:
There is a very helpful but dangerous system tool called Onyx .. free.. http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/onyx.html
You can use this one for optimizing the system ( rebinding that is ), running maintenance scripts and c leaning caches.. and more.
DO NOT USE IT FOR STUFF YOU DON`T KNOW WHAT IS FOR...
Just you download it and install it whenever.. it is cool to have around.
The same stuff can also be done using the command line, but Onyx is often faster.
Remember Onyx. We will run a system rebinding session later on. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

In fact, I don't even see caches here for those.
That should say something...
DP does have preferences to tell you where to put temp files. I think we already touched on that when we were talking about the audio and analysis files.
When you get to the point where you can start DP again, we'll go there. _________________ Garret: It's so retro.
