[QUOTE="Tarek, post: 1521547, member: 68040"] Hello there I am running Mac OS X Mountain Lion version 10.8.4 and I feel like my computer has definitely slowed down and sort of lags from time to time than when I first got it, or to be more specific, than when I last made a fresh install of Mountain Lion (which was when it first came out). It now takes a little bit of time to open and close applications, especially Chrome, Safari, iTunes and iPhoto, and I know that because it used to be much quicker when I first installed Mountain Lion. I am using a mid-2010 MacBook Pro and these are the specifications: Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256 MB Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) The specifications are fairly low compared to today's computers, but I believe they are enough for a lag-free and snappy Mac experience, or am I wrong? I came across CleanMyMac and it claims to clear all registry related problems and such, as well as remove useless files and cache located on the computer. I am unsure about the safety of it, though, because in the past, I have had registry-cleaning applications on my Windows pretty much mess it up. There's also one called Onyx which was recommended on Apple Support Forums: [url]https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx[/url] What do you guys think? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
