How to clean up macpro 10.6.8 snow leopard when running extremely slow?....apple told me to get rid of "mackeeper software" but that seemed to help ...now what?

How do I improve the performance of my Macbook Pro  (os 10.6.8) ...I previously had "mackeeper" but apple staff advised to get rid of it as
I did not need to improve performance and this software was not apple recommended and  tends to cause more problems >   But lately my computer is running extremely slow ...Not opening programs and freezing ?.......I miss the mackeeper as it would tell me about duplicate files...temporary and "clean Up" which semed to help ...........Isnt there any way to increase performance manually ?  Help please

Well MacKeeper comes close to qualifying as junk, as malware even, and totally takes over and interferes with a system and then is hard to uninstall and remove.
In addition to the above, BitDefender has a free utility as well to remove adware.

There is no real valid reason to install and use this or other apps to clean or improve system performance. Adding more RAM can help of course if yours has minimum, upgrading the system storage drive almost always helps as SSDs have gotten better and available in any system.
the more 'stuff' that gets installed, the more problems with stability, performance, and the system working as it should.

  • How can I get rid of this dialogue box that seems to be related to Pixel Bender?

    I recently installed CS6 (not the cloud) on Windows 8 64 Bit.  On opening I get a dialogue box, which goes away if I click on "OK" after which CS6 loads.  I reinstalled, but I still get the dialogue box.  How can I fix it?

    right click>click "run as administrator".
    if that fails, run in compatibility mode for win 7.
    if that fails:
    uninstall ps cs6.
    run the cleaner, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    restart your computer.
    reinstall ps cs6.

  • How to get rid of a software icon that has been re...

    I removed a java app from my memory card. But for some reasons, the icon remains and refuse to be removed. Anyone can help? This is on an N95

    Was it removed using the "Application Manager" tool, which supposedly does a clean remove ?
    Try hooking your phone to a PC with USB as a mass storage device, and try to locate files (including icons) that may have been left on the card (possibly in a directory that was created by the application you removed).

    Did you update over Snow Leopard or clean install. Have you got your latest backup of Snow Leopard?

  • How come my ps CS6 runs extremely slow?

    After testing photoshop cs6, seeing how fast it worked on 3D on my pc I bought the web design and premium version. Time in between was several weeks. To my huge disappointement, the bought version runs extremely slow, mostly on 3D when I want to paint on target texture. Secondly I experiance a bug when I open my file and want to paint on targeted texture....brush shows inaccesible when wanting to paint. I do not mean greyed out, but the moment I hover over my 3d object it shows I cant paint (yes I have my layer selected;-). I have to fix this each time by changing targeted texture to some other and again switching back to the one I actually want to edit. As last thing, my OpenCL is greyed out.....maybe that causes the speed problems.....did not check with trial if it worked so not sure this is the issue=/....
    When it comes to the speed I tried several things and now even reinstalled my whole pc hoping that would solve the problem.....it did not. Both CS6 photoshop 32-and 64-bit run slow on 3D.
    I closed my trendmicro virusscanner to see if that would help....it speeded up only the start-up process but not the 3D. 3D works so slow that I have to wait 10 minutes after each move..just crazy....evenmore as it worked awesome with the trial version.
    Also changed amount of memory assigned to ps by increasing to 80% and even 100%...nothing.
    changed in graphic processors settings advanced into basic...nothing again.
    No idea what to do next besides buying a new computer....I know I do not have a super strong one but as it worked perfectly I just don't get it. My pc runs this system:
    Intel(R) Core (TM) 2CPU
    [email protected] 2.66 Ghz
    Ram 4GB
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
    GeForce8800GTX
    I have the feeling it is some conflict between an update of windows or graphic driver (I have the newest so my info tells me) and photoshop...any ideas what to do as this is extremely frustrating?
    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP
    In case it helps this is the copied system info from photoshop:

    Installed newer graphic driver as its seemed Microsoft update had an older one installed on my pc. This one is straight from Nvidia site with 3D support. Nevertheless ps runs slow and especially 3D. 32 Bit runs tiny bit faster than 64-bit. Now my photoshop even crashes with 3D: 32 bit holds out longer then 64...last one freezes almost immediately and I can close it through task manager. After installing newer driver at least the 64 bit shows OPenCL , where 32-bit not....maybe thats normal...
    I hope anyone can help me as I even checked the system requirements on adobe and mine should be more than fine.

    Well, it must be a system-specific bug of some sort that's been introduced, because I was able to create a 4200 x 3500 image made by mapping an image of similar size to a cylinder, and the cylinder would move/rotate in real time.  Of course, I have a completely different video card and system than you do, but I'm just verifying that it's not broken everywhere.
    Rendering isn't hugely fast, but that's not unexpected with a larger image.
    Maybe being more specific would help.  Is your mesh complex?
    Is it something you'd be willing to share online or describe how to create?  I would be happy to try to match what you're doing more thoroughly to see whether I can reproduce the slowdowns.
    Beyond that, I'm not sure what to suggest...  You don't have a lot of RAM to be working on 15 megapixel images, but as you say the thing to concentrate on is that you're seeing quite different performance from the Ps CS6 beta version.

  • Macbook Pro running extremely slow (log included) especially when safari is opened. How can I fix this?

    Hello
    When I open my macbook it is running extremely slow - especially once I launch safari. It can take minutes to load a page or for a page I am already typing on to even respond. I have pasted below part of my log from the application - Console. I have not included all of it as it was 7 pages long but please let me know if you need further information. Thank you for any help!

    Start by removing "Rapport" and "Elmedia Player," both of which are much worse than useless. If there's no improvement, post again.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

    I suspect you may have a corrupt photo or image that is causing the sync to fail or quit. You might want to try removing all of your photos by deselecting them in iTunes then sync - and try adding them by each sub-folders until you are able to nail down which sub-folder of photos, that causes the sync to stop or gives you errors.

  • How do you erase mountain lion to install snow leopard?

    Hi, My mother now has a new to her late 09 mini that originally shipped with snow leopard. When she bought it it came with mountain lion preinstalled from a private seller. We were thinking that to be on the safe side that it might be better to erase and install what's on it just to be sure it is secure. I tried to erase and install snow leopard from a disk but it says that the installer is not compatible with this version of osx(mountain lion). Question: How do I erase mountain lion and install snow leopard?
    I've read here that there is possibly a built in recovery disk that I can use to erase and reinstall mountain lion. Q: Is there a built in recovery disk available in my situation? and if so should I use it or be even safer by installing snow leopard instead?
    Thank you,

    I think I found the answer (from sl install disk use disk utility to erase then install sl). Thanks for looking.

  • When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

    When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

    My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
    Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?

    how can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it? It came without DVD installer, and I want to make a copy of it's OS installer but can't find out how.

    You need to have the disc in order to create disk image of snow leopard installer disc. What did your machine ship with? If something later than SL, then why? If earlier, then you can buy the SL installer disc and make the disk image.

  • In how many different computers can I install my snow leopard?

    In how many different computers can I install my snow leopard?
    The one that came when I bought my Macbook Pro.

    Kappy, I believe that he's asking about Snow Leopard, not Lion. Your answer would be correct in reference to Lion purchased from the Mac App Store, but not Lion shipped as original OS on a new Mac.
    derojas, assuming you have a standard OEM, it-came-with-the-computer Snow Leopard installer, you are licensed to use it only on that one computer. You are not licensed to install it on any others. Many OEM discs can install only on the specific hardware model with which they shipped, anyway.
    If you have a standard retail installer, it's technically possible to install it on any Mac capable of running Snow Leopard. However, again, the license grants you the freedom to install it on only one Mac at a time (i.e. you'd have to delete it from one Mac before you could install it on another).
    There are family packs and other multi-licensing arrangements that permit the owner to install Snow Leopard on more than one Mac. You need to check the license to find out how many and what other restrictions might apply.

  • I'm trying to back up 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and all my files before upgrade to Mavericks.  I have an old but sturdy external hard drive...how many GB available will I probably need to back up the whole thing? thanks!

    I'm trying to back up 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and all my files before upgrade to Mavericks.  I have an old but sturdy external hard drive...how many GB available will I probably need to back up the whole thing? thanks!

    You will need a separate partition unless you plan to use the entire drive. You will need an amount of space somewhat larger than the total space now used on your startup drive. If you select the startup drive's Desktop icon, then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Used space will be shown in the topmost panel. Add a GB or two to that number to determine how much space you'll need for the backup.
    Do not backup on a drive that has any files you want to keep. You can make a bootable backup as follows:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
