[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 681873, member: 21101"] Welcome welcome. Macs generally need less maintenance than Windows - the hdd re-indexes every now and again on its own, and scripts are run to keep thing clean and perky. A nice tip is to run these yourself manually (especially if you have a laptop that spends most of its time sleeping). Go to the terminal and launch it. Type sudo periodic daily weekly monthly It will prompt you for your password, then execute. You can just do these one at a time. Daily is the dailycleanup, weekly is the weekly etc - so no need to run all 3 every day! [/QUOTE]
