234 - [Tr] Mac Maintenance [Trailer]

[Trailer for Members Show] Luckily, most modern Macs need little or no regular maintenance. OSX is pretty much self maintaining, with automated scripts and an advanced file system, most people don't need to do anything to keep their Mac in tip top order. Too good to be true? Well not really, but human nature being what it is, it would be nice to understand what OSX is doing under the hood and perhaps keep an eye on how things are going. If the worst does happen and your Mac starts to slow down, or your favourite application starts to misbehave, what are the simple checks or processes you can undertake to try and fix things? This week's show takes a look at both maintenance tasks and some simple troubleshooting tips to keep you Mac in tip top condition. This members only show covers: Daily, Weekly & Monthly Maintenance Scripts Checking Correct Operation of Scripts Running Scripts Manually via Terminal Third Party Maintenance Utilities "Maintenance" & "Onyx" Checking Permissions Rebuilding Spotlight Caches Speeding Up Mail Monitoring S.M.A.R.T Drive Status File System Check with Safe Boot & Safe Mode Please note that if you're receiving this notification via the ScreenCastsOnline email notification service, the link inserted below is for access to the free version (or trailer) of this show.
