[QUOTE="UweTheSailor, post: 1723483, member: 368485"] Hi to all of you! The comment of Slydude make me wonder and thinking about those tools a bit more in depth. I have troubles with my MacBookAir from time to time (some applications behave strange, need to restart, etc.) and I am looking for a solution such as Cocktail, MacKeeper, Onyx, etc. I came across the Onyx twice lately but this software is for free and I wonder whether this could be an indication that it might harm more than it helps? I understand that free software is generally preferred but a) does it really help b) what is the advantage for the programmer behind this? c) who has the competence to really judge whether onyx is safe and good - really competent (not using it but looking behind the scenes, browsing the source code or similar)? I am just concerned by adding a new application which should actually make things better but instead making things worse (without knowing it, of course).. One more thing... Actually when it comes to DiskUtility what exactly do you mean with "running DiskUtility periodically"? Is it first aid? [ATTACH=FULL]24841[/ATTACH] Thanks, Uwe [/QUOTE]
