Main Menu and OnyX are both very handy to have. Use one or the other on a scheduled basis to keep your machine running well. Both come highly recommended.

OnyX

Lots of members here use Main Menu.
A forum search would yield quite a few reviews and opinions on it.

What is it?
To quote the website:
Don't have time to run all the various tools and scripts to keep your Mac running smoothly? MainMenu makes these tasks quick and easy, right from your menu bar. Rebuilding your Spotlight library for faster searching, repairing permissions, cleaning caches to improve application performance, and even more advanced settings — such as enabling and disabling the Dashboard — are no more than two clicks away. MainMenu is full of powerful maintenance tools to keep your Mac running like new, within a slick, simple interface.

I personally use both Main Menu and Onyx on both my Macs, works wonders when the old G4 starts to slow down a bit.....the Mini just doesn't care.....

How does this work? I downloaded it and tried to get it up and running but it's not showing up as running. My computer needs it bad. It's been messed up ever since I updated itunes to 8.1, removed the Genius itb. thing and now iTunes works terribly and iDVD doesn't even open. I've never had problems like these ever with any Mac.

should I use the apple care package thing I paid for?

Look in your menu bar for a box with a plus sign in it.

MainMenu probably won't solve your iTunes/iDVD problem though but it will help if your computer is running a little slower than it should.
