Is there a cleaning app on a MacBook?

My MacBook seems to be running slowly these days, especially on-line.  Is there a cleaing app on MacBooks that I'm not aware of?  IF not, any suggestions?

Do not even think about MacKeeper. Read the linked posts.

  • If I do a clean install on my MacBook Pro will I be able to re-install apps (FCP, Aperture, MS Office etc.) from a Time Machine backup, or will I need the original install DVDs with authorization codes?

    I have two questions...
    1) If I do a clean install on my MacBook Pro will I be able to re-install apps (FCP, Aperture, MS Office etc.) from a Time Machine backup, or will I need the original install DVDs with authorization codes? (because I don't have them)
    2) Has anyone ever seen anything like this before on their computers?
    The Apple Genius' were stumped by my laptop issues and said they'd never seen anything like it before and recommended I did a clean install. Below you can see my trash bin, and if you look at the "Empty" button it reads "N201" and then there's the "N39" to the left of it. You can also see these numbers over by the folder area--"SD5, SD6, SD7." But that's not all...
    When I right click on items I see the numbers again. Instead of "Open with" I get "N152" and there's an "N35" and "LB1" towards the bottom.
    I have no idea what's going on so I'm just going to do a clean install on my machine but I don't want to lose my apps. I don't have the original install DVDs for them anymore. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

    You don't lose them.  You can always redownload them from the app store after you log back in with your Apple ID.
    "Buy, download, and even redownload.
    You can install apps on every Mac you use and even download them again. This is especially convenient when you buy a new Mac and want to load it with apps you already own."

  • A clean install on my MacBook Pro has left my icons stuck on the right side of the desktop. I want to move them but there is no 'None' option which I think would free them to move where I wish. Suggestions?

    A clean install on my MacBook Pro has left me with my icons stuck in the grid on the right side of my desktop. I had the ability to move them and have them stay put in various sectors of the desktop, which I found very useful.  The clean install upgraded the OS to 10.6.8 from 10.5.8. I want to move them again but there I see no 'None' option which I think would free them to move where I wish. Has the upgrade deleted that option? Suggestions? I am new to this community and if not new to Mac, I often feel that way. This is one of those times.

    I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

    Apps for your Mac can be found in the Mac App Store which is in your Applications folder.

  • There is an app I want to purchase for my iphone , but can't find it on the app store from my MacBook Pro

    There is an app I want to purchase for my iphone , but can't find it on the app store from my MacBook Pro.  I have credit on the Mac Book, but can't see it from iphone.

    Are you checking from within the Apps section of iTunes on your computer? Is there a reason you can't download it directly to the iPhone?

  • Is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    Hey bishopcheen,
    Great question! Apple has announced that these features are coming in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. For more information, check out the “Messages” section of this page:
    Apple - OS X Yosemite - Apps
    http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/
    Messages gives you so many ways to start a conversation. When your iPhone is nearby, you can send a text message from your Mac to groups of friends, even if they use SMS. Or send a photo of your epic karaoke birthday party, then follow it up with a Soundbite audio clip of your encore performance. With Messages, it’s not just what you say, it’s however you want to say it.
    Now every message on your iPhone appears on your Mac.
    Messages on your Mac has always been a great way to stay in touch. But friends without iMessage couldn’t be part of the conversation. Well, now they can be. All the SMS and MMS messages you receive on your iPhone now appear on your Mac. So you can text any friend without picking up your iPhone. And the conversation stays up to date across all your devices.
    iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are coming this fall. I hope you are as excited as I am!
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Is there any way to load and play the iPad scrabble app on my Macbook?  i can't believe there is no scrabble app for my mac

    Is there any way to load and play the ipad scrabble app on my macbook?

    There hasn't been a Scrabble version for OS X since 10.3 -10.4 on PPC, the intel swtich and they just left.
    Scrabble owners will sue the living daylights out of anything that looks like it or uses the name.
    Would love to play on my new Mac latop
    Apple in their infinite wisdom didn't allow iOS apps to run/ported  as widgets etc on OS X Dashboard like many users requested long time ago.
    There is no Scrabble widget on Dashboard downloads page or anything close to it.

  • Are there any apps for the macbook pro that will teach a 4 year old how to use a mac?

    I want to gove my old macbook to my daughter and get her started. does anyone know if there is an app that will walk a child through thir first mac experience and teach them how to operate it?

    This doesn't really answer your question, but children find tablets much easier to use than traditional computers. Even children much younger than your daughter are surprisingly adept with them, and they usually don't need to be taught.

  • How do I use iPhone apps on my Macbook Pro?

    Okay, so I have always wondered if there are any apps that are used regularly on iPhones that can be downloaded onto my Macbook Pro. I tried to find an answer to this and discovered this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which explains there is a way to download previous purchased apps on the computer so I followed the steps and downloaded some. Now this may be a stupid question, but does this just mean that I can now transfer these apps onto another device from my macbook, or can I actually use these apps in some way on a large, macbook monitor. If so how do I do this, and if not- I think it would be a brilliant idea for apple to make this an option in the future!
    Thanks for any help, I'm still working out some of the basics as a first time Mac user!

    hi
    you cannot, for example:
    I had to buy a separate Pages, Numbers app on my iPad...
    so there is an app for ipad/iphone/ipod and another for Macs....
    so the answer is no...

  • How to Solve Windows 8 Metro App Crash on Macbook Pro 2010 13"

    There is a known problem
    (See http://www.onebitzero.com/how-to-fix-metro-apps-from-crashing-under-nvidia-beta- driver-296-17-in-windows-8/ )
    that many notebooks equipped with nVIDIA GPU and running Windows 8 will crash some Modern UI (Metro) apps,
    including Game, Camera, Remote Desktop, ... apps.
    My MacBook Pro 2010 13" has an nVIDIA GeForce 320M.
    I installed Windows 8 Pro RTM gotten from DreamSpark Premium and Boot Camp Software 3.2 on my MacBook Pro.
    Unfortunately, I met the Modern UI app crash problem.
    I fought against this problem two days and almostly surrended.
    Unbelievablely, I could solve it.
    Yes. We can simply solve the crash problem by installing the latest 301.42 driver download from nvidia.com.
    But it is not perfect: we will find we can't adjust the brightness anymore.
    I also tried many methods, including modifies .inf files and change permissions but all are failed.
    Except one for which I got an idea from Windows Event Viewer.
    I found I got an error event when I launched the problematic Modern UI app. For example,
    "Faulting application name: wwahost.exe, version: 6.2.9200.16384, time stamp: 0x50107c6e
    Faulting module name: nvd3dumx.dll, version: 8.17.11.9682, time stamp: 0x4b884f8a"
    (Attention! The following steps are at your risks.
    Or you may not try it.)
    The steps to solve the crash problem and simultanously preserve the brightness adjustment function are:
    1. Download the latest 301.42 driver from nvidia.com. Then, click it to extract files to C:\
    and we don't install it.
    2. Copy the Boot Camp nVIDIA driver files from "13-inch MacBook Pro Mac OS X Install DVD,"
    ie. this folder:
    (DVD drive):\Boot Camp\Drivers\NVidia\Vista-Win7_64
    3. Replace the older nvd3dumx.dl_ with the newer one.
    I.e. overwrite
    Boot Camp\Drivers\NVidia\Vista-Win7_64\nvd3dumx.dl_
    by
    C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\301.42\WinVista_Win7_64\International\Display.Driver\nvd 3dumx.dl_
    4. Follow this tutorial to turn off driver integrity check:
    http://www.killertechtips.com/2009/05/05/disable-driver-signing-windows-7/
    and reboot.
    5. Install the modified driver by clicking
    Boot Camp\Drivers\NVidia\Vista-Win7_64\setup.exe
    6. Reboot your computer and good luck.

    The method described above is too complex.
    I found a more easy way to solve the Modern app crash problem.
    That is to download the legacy driver 296.10 here
    http://www.geforce.com/drivers/beta-legacy
    Unfortunately, 296.10 and 19x don't solve all problems on Windows 8:

  • Is there a way (app) to divide a Thunderbolt monitor into sections?

    I recently switched from dual 23" monitors to a 15" MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt Display. The large display makes some tasks cumbersome because the application palettes fall on opposite sides of the monitor with a huge workspace in between. I may sound spoiled, but it's just not working for me . There are several apps for Windows that do this (ie GridMove) and simply divide the monitor space (no Spaces will not work to solve my issue).
    I've done a pretty comprehensive search but nothing comes up. Any solutions?

    Have you looked at divvy, moom, or sizeup?  Many reviews are available on the Internet and they have a free trial available.
    I personally use divvy with various shortcuts for resizing a window to a particular area on my desktop (i.e. shift + cmd + space to bring up divvy and then the left arrow to resize the current window to the left half of my display).
    Hope this helps...

  • Why can't I read a book purchased through iPhone ibook app on my MacBook Pro?

    Why can't I read a book purchased through iPhone ibook app on my MacBook Pro? Also, is there any way to print pages from book?

    In general if you want to read paid-for ebooks on your Mac, you need to buy them from one of the other sources like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Googlebooks and use the free OS X and iOS reader apps which they provide instead of iBooks.
