When I have issues where thing aren't working right in AP. I close all other programs and reboot the machine and try AP again without any other program open. After that I run disk utilities and then a program called “Cocktail” maintenance. There are other programs that run routine chrone clean up procedures like Iceclean, Onyx, etc. Just curious if others have found those useful? Any others I should know?
Cheers

Thanks John
I think they make Onyx too. Both free! I bought Cocktail before I new of Mantenance or onyx. Ever get into the terminal and run something .. fdisk? I don’t know much about that stuff. David

You can do a lot without using other software. Check the FAQ for the fsck command.

Thanks Joseph
I like that command line tool. I searched for fsck in FAQ but only found applejack, which I’ll look into.
Would luv to read your thoughts on Fsck can you point me to the FAQ? If I ever have overall system weirdness going on I do that as one of the last resorts be for I take the machine in.

DBmoore,
Oops I thought I’d included that. I just updated the FAQ entry “I want some hard-core command-line system-wide repair work done!” to include a link to the Apple support fsck page.

I have used Maintenance 3.8 and now Maintenance 1.5.3 ( free automator scripts) for years without problems.
I recommend them to my clients when they call with inconsistent behaviors in their computers. 1.5.3 is for OS 10.7
