[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1252576, member: 184879"] Some things I do to keep in tip top shape (and some good practices): - Repair permissions regularly (via Disk Utility) - Dont keep lots of crap on your desktop - Keep your hard drive with decent amount of free space - Quit apps if you dont need them - Restart, or Shut down every now and again to clear the memory - Keep liquid away from your machine - Keep startup items to a minimum (reduce boot times) - Maintain a logical, well labeled file structure (improves spotlight searches) - Run AppFresh to keep all my third party apps up to date - Use AppTrap to uninstall unwanted applications (properly) - Run Software Update every month (If it doesnt start automatically) - Empty browser caches every month - Move any unnecessary files to an external Hard drive and move all files currently in use to internal prior to use - Run Time Machine every week the list goes on.
