[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 356563"] This maintenance task thing is new to OS X because OS X is based on FreeBSD, a Unix flavour. Unix based systems all have that capability built into them to auto-heal themselves. I am part of those who do not let my iMac run at night, 24-hours a day for ecological and economical reasons: besides I have no BackUPS system to protect it against an electrical outage so shutting it down is safer in that aspect as well. I simply run the tasks manually every day, takes about 5 seconds. I have chosen Saturdays for its daily task but for the weekly tasks as well: and every 4th Saturday I run the daily, weekly and monthly tasks. It really isn't hassle for me to do so. Try what Brown suggests it ought to work too. You will need to restart after doing all these tasks though. [/QUOTE]
