HT1338 how to clean my mac?

I would like to know how can l clean my macbook because it seems to be to slow?
ls there an app to do it?

Your Mac does not need cleaning like a Windows machine. See The myth of the dirty Mac.
As to your problem, it's impossible to say why your machine might be slow without some information. For some general performance troubleshooting tips, see my Mac Performance Guide.

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/leopard_install-setup.pdf
    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

    how to upgrade from mac os x 10.4.11 to 10.5

    As Niel relaters...
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mac+os+x+leopard+retail+10.5
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    It's reported that if you have a MobileMe account that Apple will send you SL/10.6 for free.
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.

  • HT1338 How do I upgrade Mac OS X Tiger?

    How do I upgrade Mac OS X Tiger?

    Note the 867 Mhz or higher (1 Ghz is higher) is necessary for 10.5.
    Note 10.5 also gets rid of Classic, the compatibility for Mac OS 9.
    Note 10.6 to 10.6.8 can be upgraded to 10.7 or 10.8 as long as you have a Core2Duo minimum.   10.7 or later are not compatible with Rosetta, the Mac OS X tool that lets pre-2006 software run on newer machines.  For more on each, see these tips on 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.
    If you meet the requirements after purchasing the 10.6 installer CD.
    10.4.4 through 10.5.8 can be upgraded directly to 10.6.3 to 10.6.6 to 10.7 to 10.7.5
    10.4.4 through 10.5.8 can be upgraded directly to 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 to 10.8 to 10.8.4
    10.7 & 10.8 are separate purchases, and can be downloaded from the Mac App Store once you are at 10.6.6 or 10.6.8 minimum depending on where you are at.

  • HT1338 How to format my mac?!

    I got an used Mac OS X Version 10.5.8. It works very bad and slowly. What's wrong you think? How to format and update software?

    I would suggest the you call Apple and request replacement installation disks.  Have your MBP serial number ready and a credit card.  There is a fee.
    Upon receipt of the disks, delete all of the data on the disk and install the Operating System.  Then you will have a MBP that should operate like a new machine.
    Ciao.

  • HT1338 how do i get mac app store

    the app store aint in my apple botton inthe top left coner

    The computer needs to be running Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer to have it. If it's running Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5, this requires phoning the Apple Store and ordering a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

  • HT1338 How do I update Mac OS X 10.4.11 to Mountain Lion?

    I would like to upgrade to Mountain Lion but all installation apps require OS X 10.5 or greater.

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a G3, no further upgrades are available.
    If it's a G4 or G5, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay; Apple still might have copies in stock if you phone them. It can't be upgraded past 10.5.8.
    If it's an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, install it, run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater, and then try buying Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store.
