Is mac keeper really that good?

I currently use Tech Tool Deluxe but am considering purchasing Mac Keeper. Is this application really that good? I know that "good" has many interpretations but overall, I'm interested in hearing peoples' feedback on the app in general. Thanks!

Search the forums, you will find the consensus that Mackeeper is not a good idea. Not a good idea at all.
As far as I can tell, this product is a combination of new interfaces for standard mac stuff (e.g., they have a Login Items interface for crying out loud) and a bunch of utilities you might need if you were running windows but which, generally speaking, are completely unnecessary for the typical user.
In fact, it seems to me that, unless you have some very specific problems, "system utilities" are unnecessary and principally aimed at a former windows-user market.

Buy a headphone, Is B&W p5 really that good? Please suggest headphones

I would like to buy a headphone, I hear orchestra/new age more and I hope he headphone will fit these styles, if there's any headphone that can enhance orchestra/symphony and make the music even more beautiful? Is b&W p5 really that good and worth the money?
Thanks!

Hi,
So, they didn't do anything about it since original Z came out? If the problem is well known, it should be fixed :/ I just checked my Z2 against iPhone 5S with P5 headphones and since iPhone is not as loud as HTC One S, it is a noticeably louder than Z2.
Dedicated dac-amp sounds fine but it is another component and I would have to fit all this somehow in my pocket. Sounds like a bulky solution for on the go mode.
Anyone from Sony can say something about this?
Greetings,

Are 64bit cpu's really that good?

Im planning on updating my system at the end of June...and i originally planned on getting a xp3200 with some pc3200 ram...but i keep looking at the AMD 64's..and become more interested everytime i do...im a VERY avid gamer...and dont want to lose any of that...are the 64's that good yet..or should i wait a year or so?
and my last question...would a amd 64 3000 be "alot" faster then say a xp3200 or would i even see the difference(forgive my ignorance..im new to the 64 bit thing)
thx

Definitely, go for the AMD Athlon 64. The core doesn't matter that much.
Newcastle has half of the L2 cache of Clawhammer, but its speeds are higher.
Here is an example:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Clawhammer:
L1 cache 128KB
L2 cache 1MB
Core Clock Speed: 2000MHz
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Newcastle:
L1 cache 128KB
L2 cache 512KB
Core Clock Speed: 2200MHz
The difference between the two cores is minimal, but in games the Newcastle core will be better. In Zip compression, for example, the Clawhammer core will probably be faster.
Regarding memory modules get the fastest possible otherwise the system will be slow (because the CPU will have to wait for the memory outcomes, the memory controller is directly in the CPU). Read posts in this forum and before buying any memory modules, consult your choice with Forum Members. Go for something like http://www.geilusa.com/proddetail.asp?linenumber=37.
But thats only if you want to buy the system now.
If I was you, I would wait for Socket 939 to come out. This should happen in the next 3-6 months. Also, I would wait for the following:
DDR2
Serial-ATA 300
PCI-Express
BTX
So my final advice is:
Wait

Is the Apple iPod AV Cable really that good?

My dad and mom are suppose to be bringing me home the Apple iPod AV Cable. I bought HS Musical from iTunes and they had never seen it, and want to, so I told them about the cable.... but anyways... I read the reviews for it, but I really want to know does it really have good video and sound quality?
I mean I will be hooking it up to a 32" Sony Trinitron (Wega) tv and I want it to look good and sound good...

Also, connecting to the cable to an Apple Universal Dock (with the iPod docked (instead of connecting it directly to the iPod)) will make the sound and video better.

Flex...is it really that good?

I hear all these things about flex being a rapid development
environment for flash apps. I have been using flash for quite some
time, I don't really use the timeline nor do any timeline scripting
I just use AS3 classes. So I think flex may be good for me. So I
download the trial and so far I am not very impressed. It seems to
me like just using markup (mxml) to layout and control components
but outside of the components theres not much you can do? (I am not
saying this is the way it is, just the way it seems to be so far in
my very little experience with it) I tried to make a new Sprite()
and it wouldn't let me because it didn't extend the core mx
component. So far to me it seems like Flash is like C++ and I can
use AS to create everything, and Flex is like VB.
I plain on reading the programming flex 3 book by o'reilly
scheduled for release next month, and I think I really must be
missing something because most people swear by flex, I just don't
see it yet. But as an actionscript developer if flex can make like
easier for me I would really want to understand it.
Please note I am not saying flex is not good...I am just
saying I dont understand what makes it good...and I would like to
hear reasons that make flex good (over programming in the flash
IDE).
What are your thoughts?
Thanks

There are a lot of people who use Flex Builder to edit Flash
as files,
because it's way better with things like code hinting and
shortcut keys.
That alone will save you huge amounts of time.
I'm not sure about what you mean "outside of the components".
The
components contain HUGE amounts of functionality that would
take you YEARS
to reproduce from scratch, so that's like saying "if it
weren't for that big
hole in the ground, the Grand Canyon wouldn't be all that."
And you can
modify and extend these pretty much infinitely. And if there
aren't any
that do what you like, you can create your own from scratch.
So, yes, the
bulk of what you get from Flex is the components. But to
dismiss them is
missing the point.

Is mac keeper worth installing ?

I keep getting offers of mac keeper which looks good but I am wary of offers with no indication of costs involved.has anyone used this software and is it expensive. I have just transferred to a MacBook from years of windows so am bit apprehensive at present.

Good or bad, MacKeeper is not needed.
These kinds of unnecessary apps may slow down the computer.
Best.

Macintosh Clients keep saying that they are up to date when they are not!!

All My Macs keep saying that they are up to date when looking at the local SUS server. There not up to date and there are loads of updates that are downloading onto the SUS, do I have to wait for the updates to finish downloading before the cleints can get their updates?

Hi
When inspecting the updates in the Service GUI do they have a light blue circle by the side of the update? If they don't they've not been downloaded yet.
Depending on your internet connection and bandwidth it can take up to 3 days (sometimes longer) to download them all. Once downloaded they should be available assuming everything else is configured as it should be. By this I mean, as a minimum, a correctly configured DNS Service that does not involve the use of .local for the domain suffix.
HTH?

I can't download Ikea 3D kitchen planner. It's really frustrating - a message is appearing on my mac book pro that I ned to get info and check that various files are unlocked. I've checked that all other requirements are fulfilled, still won't download

I can't download Ikea 3D kitchen planner. It's really frustrating - a message is appearing on my mac book pro that I ned to get info and check that various files are unlocked. I've checked that all other requirements are fulfilled, still won't download. Any help very gratefully received. Thank you.

Hi, I'm not really very good with computers and am having the same problems when trying to install the Ikea 3D kitchen planner, please could you take me through the steps?
1. Download (save) the disk image file 2020PluginInstaller.dmg
I double click on the link which says "Install 3D Planner"
I agree to the t&cs
A file downloads to my download folder called 2020PluginInstaller_IKEA.dmg
2. Mount the disk image (open/run the downloaded file) if not mounted automatically
I double click on the downloaded file
3. Find the 2020PluginInstaller window (might be behind the window on top)
A small window opens up with a lego brick called 2020PluginInstaller_IKEA.dmg and a folder called Internet plug ins. I highlight the lego brick and do File, Get info and unlock it
4. Drag the lego piece to the folder (if you do not have admin privileges you will be prompted to authenticate)
I do this and put in a password to authenticate
5. Restart the browser (it is not enough to close the browser window, you need to restart the browser
application)
I've tried restarting Safari, I've tried re-starting the computer
6. Access the same link and you will now see the Start button and be able to start planning your room!"
When I go back to the IKEA kitchen planner I don't see a start button, I just see the exact same screen as before prompting me to install the 3D planner
Please can you help?

Is mac keeper good product

is mac keeper good product

No, and there have been at least two class action lawsuits filed recently against the company that distributes it.
If you already installed it, please write back for removal instructions.
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
MacKeeper is not the only such product, it is merely the most notorious due to marketing strategies that are as aggressive as they are effective. Avoid all such junk.

Is mac keeper good ?

is mac keeper good ?

Ok, well I do have experience with the full version of MacKeeper and here's what I can tell you... It is overpriced for what it can do for you.
While your Mac probably needs a routine cleanup of garbage files that slow your Mac's performance down, there are free and safer apps that can do the same. It is way too confusing to do this on a Mac without a program. MacKeeper originally deleted cache files from safari that were important for the browser to stream Netflix. I had to reinstall the browser from CNet to get it running properly again. As far as the anti-virus goes.. Macs don't get viruses but they can collect them and pass them off to another's PC. MacKeeper does quarentine those that you pick up... but once again there are safe alternatives that are free.
Best Feature i think is probably the smart unistaller, which relates to when you throw an application you don't want in the trash MacKeeper sends you a notification that is has collected all the leftover files to the application and you can quickly remove it all from your computer, there is an anti theif feature that (should your Mac be stolen) will track the computer's location once on line and take a silent photo of the criminal and send it all in a report to the local police. Never had to use it, don't know how effective it is.
Lastly there is a backup file feature, Time Machine, which is probably on your Mac's task bar works bettter...
Anyway's that's my input, hope this helps you.

I have installed mac keeper and they have identified issues? With my Mac. How can I check that my Mac is running at its optimum and is safe from viruses?

I have installed mac keeper and it has initially found numerous issues? with my Mac. What can I do with the existing software to check that my mac is running at its optimum and get rid of these issues.

By uninstalling mackeeper. That software is garbage and will cause more problems then good. Get rid of it immediately.

How do i get rid of the pop ups that are constantly popping up on my mac. Everytime i search for anything on google an ad for mac keeper comes up and every time i access Netflix another stream of ads pop up... Do i have a virus HELPPPPPP

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

My iMac keeps typing a minus sign. I switched my wireless keyboard for a plug in Windows keyboard, and it keeps typing this one character. I took the batteries out of the Mac keyboard, so that is not the problem. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Please Note.
Upgrading OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) is not an update. It is a paid upgrade. Just as with 10.7 (Lion) you must purchase it from the App Store with yor Apple ID and install it after backing up your current computer state for safety.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
