Clean up your mac caches

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

This is an aggressive fix, but one I had to take after numerous ( thousands ) or syslog errors :

2/3/10 6:08:50 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[407] (com.akamai.client.plist) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

I followed this process ( found in mac forums ):

WARNING: “rm -rf” IS A DANGEROUS COMMAND, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ERASING !!!

boot to single user : (CMD+Option+S) and run the following commands :

fsck -fy
rm -rf /Library/Caches
rm -rf /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Caches
rm -rf /.Spotlight-V100

reboot

MAC – Reset office 2008 serial

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

I use a time machine backup to build MAC’s for our employees, saves me time on install and configurations, however our MAC users use office 2008 and require a unique key from our licensed copy. to re enter the office serial I just run the following two commands in terminal :

rm "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/OfficePID.plist"
rm "~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft Office 2008 Settings.plist"

and re launch office.
