Busted Tiger Cache Cleaner

My laptop is about 1.5 years old. I just tried to run the Cache Cleaner for the first time. All I get is this message:
"This application cannot run on this system. (1049)"
I thought about reinstalling Tiger OSX, but hope you have ideas that will avoid such a long task.
Thanks,
A.

Hi A;
What version of Tiger Cache Cleaner are you running?

Spotlight and cmd-F (find) and Tiger Cache Cleaner

OK it's taken me years, but I finally have a Mac with the "classic" applications selection menu (ASM) on the absolute far right - thanks to "ASM" shareware and Tiger Cache Cleaner to remove Spotlight.
But when I re-activate Spotlight, I see that it now has to spend 4 hours recataloging my HD. OK, not a problem, but I wonder if I use cmd-F "FIND" is this going to be much much slower than a cataloged SPOTLIGHT?
What about EasyFind 3.9?
And with cmd-F (FIND) (like with Spotlight) is there any way (other than cut and paste) to have the Mac WAIT until I've typed all my search letters BEFORE it starts going crazy and searching? I typed "S" and before I got to type "Steve" I had a zillion files that it had found...
OK and any comments on how safe this is to have used Tiger Cache Cleaner to remove Spotlight... appreciate that!
(now how to get rid of the Apple application menu in words and replace that (just to the right of the APPLE menu) with just the application LOGO to save Menu Bar space. I know a HAXIE does that, but Haxies mess-up and slow down my MacBook Intel core duo 2 ghz just tooooo much.
Thanks!
Steve

EasyFind works fine. It's slower than Spotlight because it doesn't use an index, but it can find things Spotlight can't.
To eliminate the "live" search behavior of Spotlight, use a third-party Spotlight front-end (there are several on versiontracker.com).

Tiger Cache Cleaner

Ran Tiger Cache Cleaner yesterday and it crashed. In doing so, I can no longer get past the Login Window when I restart my machine. (G4 dual 1.2ghzm, 1 gb sdram, OS10.4.7)
Reinstalled system 10.4 and still cannot login. Ran single user functions and got no error reports, used disk utility (from CD) and got no error/repair reports - help????

After running Tiger Cache Cleaner.app v.3.2.2 on OSX 10.4.8 for Caches deep cleaning with local,system and all users checked my computer has a kernel panic on shut down.
My second internal hard drive shows up late on restart with the error message that OS X did not shut down properly.

Disk Warrior & Tiger Cache Cleaner

Hi,
I'm new to the mac world, and I've been introduced to the concept of regularly needing to:
1. Use Disk Warrior
2. Clear the "cache"
I'm stumped by the premise that an operating system needs two third party utilities to basically function normally.
Could someone explain exactly why these utilities are needed and seem to be must-haves in the mac world?
Thanks,
Nikhil

IndianCowboy:
You've opened a can of worms, put 10 experienced mac users in a room and you'll get 12 opinions on maintenance and repair, and some will debate their methods quite vigorously. I've come to the conclusion that it really is individual, no two people have exactly the same software on their Mac or use it in the same way (you may not realize it but we each develop our own techniques).
In your case you came up against a serious directory problem that requires reinstalling the system, but this is rare. Overlapped files is very serious but also very rare and unlikely to be related to any maintenance or lack of it.
You'll need to play around a bit and find out what works best for you.
Personally, I don't run anything until my Mac starts acting up; gets slow, apps start crashing, or simply quirky behavior (or the rare kernal panic). Then, depending on how bad it is I'll run Cocktail (very similar to Tiger Cache Cleaner) or run Disk Warrior first then Cocktail. Where many problems start is in the caches which get rewritten constantly and so are volatile. Sometimes just a restart will fix these things or a Safe Boot (holding down the shift key). A safe boot runs some repairs and deletes all your font caches, so it's a good thing any time you are having font problems. And a simple restart will often fix many problems. It really takes some time to get the feel for what to do in each situation. I've gotten pretty good in figuring out what needs to be done with each bad behavior.
Before an update I will always run Disk Warrior and Cocktail first then repair permissions afterwards. This might be overkill but I have no problems with updates at all.
Or follow the advice others here have given, I bet most will work. Follow the link to Dr. Smoke's site, he has lots of very good info (including the problems you might run into with cache cleaning) and his method of rebuilding the launch services database is far better than any other, don't do this one with a utility, use the Doc's method.
But don't think of running Disk Warrior and cleaning caches as routine maintenance, it's repair for problems. The single most important thing you can do is clone your hard drive to an external Firewire drive. I don't put mine on a schedule for updating the clone but only do so when I know the system is purring like a kitten, so i know the clone is always in good shape. An added advantage to a clone is that it optimizes the disk (also known as defraging). Make a clone then restore it to your main hard drive and you have a perfectly defragged drive that runs very fast and is easier and faster than defragging software.

Anyone have active download link for Tiger Cache Cleaner?

All links I find are either dead or download Leopard or Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner instead. Thanks.

I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Leopard Cache Cleaner 4.0.19
today

24 hours after my first post about this issue, I've just fired up the G5 and it's still running smoothly AND the airport is being recognized and is connected to the wifi. +(But no more...see below.)+
I did one last step yesterday regarding the AirPort, but am not sure that it's what fixed it. After research on these forums, I deleted a file called "AppleAirPort2.kext in my /System/Library/Extensions folder. Apparently it is an older Tiger-only AirPort Driver that is no longer used on Leopard.
I also ran (for the second time) the newest Airport Driver. After doing both of those yesterday, I unhooked all hardware, and re-booted - but saw no change.
However, as I said, it's working now....apparently it needed to re-sync in its own time.
Thanks all for your help. Smooth sailing now - the ultimate reason for a successful update, was starting up in Safe Mode and installing the updates from there.
So don't forget:
1. Do a BACKUP.
2. *Repair Permissions* from your System Disk
3. Start up in *Safe Mode*
4. Download & Install the update combo from the Apple Site (Although I used Software Updates)
5. *Repair Permissions* from your System Disk again.
5. Cross your fingers.
My G5 is definitely snappier now.
*+Edited to say: I just glanced at the wifi and IT'S NOT CONNECTED. And the Airport won't turn on in System Prefs. So something is still a little dodgy with that.+* At least the System Profiler is now showing that I have an Airport Card, etc.

Comments on Leopard Cache Cleaner?

Does anyone recommend the Leopard Cache Cleaner? I run 2 machines with Tiger, one with Leopard, both PPC and intel. Just before I install it I thought I'd ask . . .
Thanks

Thanks both of you - I am getetig ready to send in an MBP due to some problems with sleep, freezes, got lots ohelp on this site - but no solution - ran across this app on the Apple products page (actually was looking for a replacement install disk as I misplaced mine for the moment-and dont want to over look any tool that I "should" have used - very LITTLE info at the site - not installed yet - it appears to be an Apple product. I don't install a lot random, extra apps so just making sure. Wouldn't know about Windows (ha, ha) exclusive Mac user since 1 MB was a BIG hd.

Cache Cleaner ruined my menu bar, no longer able to screen shot

not sure if anyone is familiar with this application "Yosemite Cache Cleaner". i just started using it. tried out the light scan and auto restored my computer then messed my top menu bar... well its off screen i can not see the time or the wifi icon it almost looks like the other half of the menu bar is on another screen by HDMI but in this case its not. i have nothing connected to this computer but my midi controller and a pre amp (always) anyways . i have dropbox and g-drive installed i can see those but any notification that pops up i can only see half of it. so of course i contacted this company immediately. i get a response back they are asking me to "screen shot my problem" so i try to screen shot and nothing happens, my screen flashes once and then the more i tried, the more screen flashed with an error sound. can anyone please help me solve this problem?

First, delete the fake "utility," which is a scam. Caches don't need to be "cleaned."
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

System cache cleaning - when is it safe, and when is not?

System cache cleaning is one of those so-called "maintenance" tasks that you may read about on the forums on Mac OS X guides that has mixed reviews, and typically is not necessary. In fact, when it is done at the wrong time, data corruption can lead to a situation where an erase and reinstall is necessary. I can't reproduce it easily, but I will say I've had it happen to at least three of my clients, so it is not as random as one would hope.
You've probably heard of browser cache, and that's safe to clean anytime you like. One thing you'll notice about when you do, is that some websites will load slower, and others will load faster depending on your internet connection, and the frequency those websites get updated.
System cache on the other hand which you'll find in ByHost and Cache folders in your Hard drive -> Library, System -> Library, Users -> yourname -> Library are a much more sensitive type of file. These will optimize the speed of frequently done operations on the operating system itself as well as specific applications which require those folders. When one of these files get corrupted, programs won't launch, will unexpectedly quit, will launch and close on their own, and in some cases Disk Utility won't function normally, or System Preference panels won't launch. To avoid these problems:
1. Only do system cache cleaning after your data is completely backed up to your satisfaction, so that a system restore won't waste your time.
2. Do it when no other applications are running, and there are no memory resident programs that may be affected by such cleaning in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login or Startup Items. Check the Process or Activity Viewer applications for applications you might have installed.
3. Do not allow the process to be interrupted until it is finished. If any power outage happens, you may be left with a corrupted cache file.
If you have a corrupted cache problem, attempt to isolate if it is happening just to one account by creating another account with Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts with admin access and see if it impacts that account as well. Do the following depending on whether or not it does affect that account:
1. If isolated to one user, go back to the user and delete that user's Library folder's cache files relating to system and Launchservices, and log out and log back in the user twice. If it disappears as a problem once, and reappears, something you are running is persistentantly corrupting that user's cache folder, and you may have to move all the non-corrupt files to the new user.
2. If it is not isolated to the user go to the System and Library folders under the hard drive and see if the Launchservices files and System cache files are removed if the issue disappears on reboot, and if it does, does it reappear after a second reboot. If it reappears after a second reboot, then you have the scary prospect of an erase and install of your system.
Don't use automatic utilities to manage your system or user cache files. If anything only manually clean the cache when it is necessary and you have corrupted files. The cache is there to speed your system, and should otherwise not be touched.

How do I clean my cache ... computer really sluggest!!! Help!

Onyx or any "cache cleaner" is not the way to improve or cure why it runs slow and sluggish.
Might want to ask in MacBook Pro forum but whateer you do, clone your system, make sure you have working bootable backups of your system and data first.

Can iMac be updated or just get new one? On iMac with OSX10.5.8, 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo--it's so much slower than iPad. It hasn't had cache cleaned or "First aid". I'm wondering if a computer store/techie can clean/update it or better to put $$ towards new?

If you want to clean up your hard drive some, here are some of my tips, also.
Hard drive getting full or near full?
Do a search for and downlaod and install OmniDisk Sweeper and OnyX.
Here are some of my tips for deleting or archiving data off of your internal hard
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save to disc, Flash drive/s or to ext. hard drive.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, Flash drive or ext. hard drive and/or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Uninstall apps that you no longer use. If the app has a dedicated uninstaller, use it to completely uninstall the app. If the app has no uninstaller, then just drag it to the OS X Trash icon and empty the Trash.
Also, if you save old downloaded .dmg application installer files, you can either archive and delete these or just delete the ones you think you'll never install, again.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be thinned out, moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc, Flash drive or ext. hard drive and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

Cache Cleaner for Treo 700WX

I am having an issue in getting to a web site that gives the message that it is enabling a
cache cleaner.
No matter how long the program runs, it will only stay on that page, it will not update or continue.
I have looked at the online tutorial for a cache cleaner, but cannot find one for the 700wx - I can only find the one for the temp files and cookies.
Please help!
Post relates to: Treo 700w (Verizon)

Hello!
This "cache cleaner" sounds like a flash applet or java applet that is not compatible with mobile devices. It is looking for the cache directory for a PC Internet Explorer when IE for mobile is different. Not all web content out there will run on mobile devices.

Cache cleaner

can any body help in getting a cache cleaner application for nokia lumia 710?

Apps should clear their own caches on exit. Anyway, for security reasons, with just a few exceptions, there is a restriction within the OS for file sharing between apps. Hence, it won't be possible for a cache cleaner app to access files from other apps to clean them.

Missing Preview, Quicktime, & more after running Cache Cleaning Software

Hello.
I have what is probably a pretty ignorant question, but I do need help.
I purchased a third party app bundle including a cache cleaner. After running it once, I no longer have quicktime, preview, calandar, and a few other apps that came with my iMac. I did a restore from a previous backup, but I still do not have the apps. I could not find downloads since they are basic apps that came with the computer, and I have very little time to research unfortunately.
My question: Is there anything I can do to fix my iMac without taking it into an Apple store?

The only thing you can do to recover your OS X apps is to reinstall OS X. To do it,y ou have to use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting to start in OS X Recovery, choose the option to reinstall OS X and follow the steps. After installing Mountain Lion again, you will recover the lost apps and you won't lose any data.
You shouldn't use cleaning apps because they aren't needed and because they could delete OS X files, as in this case. OS X knows how to take care of itself, so you don't need any third-party application
