[QUOTE="witeshark, post: 112849, member: 3865"] [color=darkred]Log off all apps Then cron tasks 1. Close all apps 2. Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities). 2. Type: sudo sh /etc/daily Note: Typing "daily" runs tasks normally scheduled for a daily interval. Type "monthly" or "weekly" in place of "daily" to runs tasks scheduled for those intervals. 3. Press Return. 4. Enter your Admin password when prompted, then press Return. 5. Quit Terminal when the task is complete. weekly tasks usually require a longer time to run than monthly or daily. Also: repair permissions. After every software update, and about every 2 weeks: close all apps and log totally off. Log on, go in Finder, Applications. Utilities, Disk Utility. After the message -getting disk information- select volume (below the hard drive name -upper left corner). Just highlight it. Now look to the lower two things are there near the middle, verify permissions, repair permissions.
