Any mac user use some kind of apps to "clean" your mac???

i know that a lot of software are build for "CLEAN YOUR MAC", software like clean my mac, mac keeper, ccleaner. etc
they all said that when we use our mac, there are a lot of "dummiy files " like language pack or used history .ect that need to be cleaned.
if we dun clean it, it will make the system laggy.
i know some ppl on the internet said its true,then other ppl said that all these softwares are jus malware, its totally unecessary to use all these.
the mac ox system will clean itself.
which one is true???
did Apple claim or announce anything about these software???
If its true,the softwares can clean your mac, how come all of these apps CANT go to Mac App Store???
IF its true, you guys use what software to run the cleaning process???

Macs do not need "cleaning". Apps such as the ones you mention have the ability to wreck your Mac.
If its true,the softwares can clean your mac, how come all of these apps CANT go to Mac App Store???
Because they are not safe to use.
There are apps in the App Store that suggest the ability or necessity to "clean" memory or unwanted files. They are worthless and are only capable of degrading performance and wasting power. They will also waste your time and your money. Deleting localization files will cause problems and cannot be un-done without reinstalling OS X. Language files use a negligible amount of disk space.
IF its true, you guys use what software to run the cleaning process???
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • JAXP: using some kind of grammar cache

    Hi,
    I have a process that needs to receive & parse some XML documents. Validation is made against a XSD schema.
    My problem appears when trying to optimize performance. Each parsing & validation takes about 300 ms. I'm sure this part could be speeded up using some kind of grammar cache.
    I know previous versions of Xerces supported that but I don't know how to make it work with JAXP. I read somewhere I just have to include this code
    System.setProperty("org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration",
    "org.apache.xerces.parsers.XMLGrammarCachingConfiguration");
    but I didn't find any performance gain.
    Any idea?
    Thanks in advance

    you're welcome....
    also check activity monitor - all processes - see what's using up most of your cpu resources under % CPU....
    highlight anything that's really high and hit quit process......anything over 10% is considered high - unless it's your browser....
    good luck...

  • After updation IOS5...face using some of the apps in my iphone

    After updation IOS5...face using some of the apps in my iphone...sometimes apps clsed automatically...when try to double click home button...its hanged for several minute...sometimes phone got hanged....

    I'm going to answer myself this posting since I had a chat with one of the Apple support person and that person resolved my problem. Basically in iTunes I clicked on the iTunes Store and on the right side of the iTunes, it shows the "Quick Links", so I clicked there and I went to "Purchased" and I downloaded "All" my apps and that pretty much fixed my problem with the exception that, I had to manually download from my own phone some apps but once I had all my apps updated and my phone configured in the way I wanted, I performed another "sync" and no more error messages. I'm posting this in case someone else have the same problem.

  • Multiple users, using the same web app items?

    Iam building a service for familes were the parents should be able to read / add / edit the same secure web app items.
    So when logged in the user have access to the same user submitted web app items.
    I found a thread answerd by Liam and my guess this is not possible? Can it be partial be done e.g. just let the "family" read the familys items? And no there is not possible to add / pair the users in backend because there are to many.
    Any tip where to look? I have tried to use the "uniqe ID, datasource, unique template" method but do you "wizards" :-) think that's the way to go?
    This thread suggest it's not doable.

    Not in association Johan no.
    You can have one "Family" login they all use to log in but it will kick one out if the other logs in and of course, multiple people sharing the same login increases the security risk.
    You can only set one owner as well.

  • Any way to use iSight with 2 apps at once?

    I just got my new iSight, and it worked beautifully, right out of the box, with Yahoo Messenger (version 3.0 beta for Mac) and with the website Webcamnow. I am so impressed!
    However, if I'm broadcasting on Webcamnow, then dare to launch Yahoo Messenger -- WITHOUT cam, mind you, just Yahoo chat -- the iSight image freezes up in the first app. Somehow, it seems that Yahoo Messenger, even without the cam enabled, interferes with the iSight video stream going to the other application.
    I'm obviously a newbie at this. Does anyone know how I might get Messenger to work alongside the webcamnow broadcaster? Or should I accept that I can only run one cam-related app at a time?
    Many thanks!
    Skylar

    Are you connecting the iSight directly to your mac or are you going thru a hub. I'd recommend connecting it directly to your mac.
    Only one application can use the iSight at a time. I.E. iChatAV and not yahoo, or vice versa, but they both can be running.
    Best of Luck!

  • NT users used for installing Oracle Apps 11ir3

    Hi,
    I read through the installation manual for Oracle Applications 11iR3 and have made several attempts to install it on NT4. However, I notice the only user account RapidWizard prompts me was the NT account for Concurrent Processing server, which is usually the "applmgr" account. This make me wonder: do we have to have two accounts, one for Oracle DB and the other for Applications on NT? If I only need one, which environment setup file should I run? APPSORA.CMD or <SID>.CMD in ORACLE_HOME?
    Thanks!

    If you are using a separate account for the DB, then yes, you will end up with 2 accounts. Also, by default, the APPSORA.CMD calls the <SID>.CMD so it will not have to be run again.

    Sometimes YouTube videos can be too loud, or even too small, so I want to have the volume automatically adjusted to certain decibels, so that I don't have to constantly adjust the volume levels and listen to all things at the same level.

    Why not adjust YouTube's sound level? Highlight the sound bell - !https://img.skitch.com/20110320-q7krgsq4t5qnp7axmmega6tc2b.jpg! From there you can adjust the sound by moving the sound lever -

  • Can I replace my Apple Remote with some kind of iphone app?

    I have an old Macbook, late '07. It's from back when they still shipped with a remote control (those little white ones) included in the box, but I've since updated the OS and it's now running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
    I haven't used the remote an awful lot, but I use it enough that it's an item I always end up packing 'just in case' when I go on a trip. I was wondering if there was a way I could replace the functionality of the remote with some kind of app I could download on my iphone, because this would give me one less item to keep track of so I don't end up losing it.
    I do some fairly active travelling, sometimes switching hotels and whole locations every one or two nights, and I always end up with a fair amount of gear that would put a big dent in my budget to replace. So the less things I have to pay attention to, the less likely I am to end up misplacing something or having a moment of inattention that leads to a theft
    My iphone is a 3GS running 5.1.1 The app doesn't have to be free, but I would prefer to keep it under the $10 mark if possible.
    Thanks!!

    If you have a warranty you should use it but if you dont mind spending the money you can buy a new head set for 30 bucks I did still one of the best purchases I ever mad you can do it buy going to your local store and look under the electronics deparment and look for apple headphones with inline mic or go online and just order from apple the headset it may cost you but sometimes it is worth every penny

  • How to get file attribs - on any Mac

    ok so if the Mac in question has Developer / Tools - yeah the GetFileInfo binary will work to get the Type and Creator code and other info.... since most Macs dont have this bulky download... how to get file attribute information via Terminal ? How to change it ?

    Oddly enough I was just now playing around with a getinfo Applescript and studying the event log when I realized that it does return information about at least some of the attributes. I made the ones that it looks like you can get information about bold:
    A Alias file
    B Bundle
    C Custom icon
    D Desktop
    E Hidden extension
    I Inited
    M Shared (can run multiple times)
    N No INIT resources
    L Locked
    S System (name locked)
    T Stationary
    V Invisible
    Z Busy
    If you are interested see this thread:

    The SetFile function is actually available on any Mac that has a recent Tiger updater package installed. Thus I have copies in both the package updaters and the receipts for 10.4.7, .8, .9 and .10 in the /Library/Packages and /Library/Receipts folders. The SetFile command is in the Resources folder:
    "/Library/Packages/MacOSXUpd10.4.10PPC.pkg/Contents/Resources/SetFile"
    Control click on the .pkg file and select Show contents from the Contextual Menu to get there. Unfortunately I don't know of any way to use some other Terminal command to get information on all the attributes, except the GetFileInfo and using the Applescipt get info function.
