[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 288452"] About the repair permissions thing... If you have a Mac OS X Panther 10.3.x Mac, this is very true. But if you run Tiger 10.4.x, the repair permissions thing has been fixed. As for freebie maintenance utility apps, you can check out [URL="http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/onyx.html"][B]OnyX[/B][/URL]: it's very powerful and it does plenty of things. Another one that I love and use on a daily basis is [URL="http://www.santasw.com/"][B]MainMenu[/B][/URL]. It does some of the same things OnyX does. One thing I would recommend you buy and keep in case of big emergencies is Alsoft's [URL="http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/"][B]DiskWarrior[/B][/URL]. This app has saved my hide when I thought nothing would. Like for instance a recalcitrant iMac after a power failure while I was using it. I kept getting the grey screen with the spinning disk and nothing would come on after that. DiskWarrior fixed everything in the directory. :girl: [/QUOTE]
