Is there any maintenance at all, to run with Lion? 6 years ago...

Maintenance? I asked this same question 6 years ago when I got my iMac/Tiger. Other than shutting down properly, making sure Firewall is on, not running any anti virus programs (in most cases) and avoiding most 3rd party utility programs. Is there anything needed other than Repair Permissions? (I know that this too, is a contoversial subject....Thanks, Bill

If you want to you can also run the built-in maintenance scripts. These scripts are scheduled to run between 03:15 and 05:30, so they won't run quite often. There are two ways to run these scripts manually:
1. With Yasu (Download: http://jimmitchell.org/yasu/ )
2. In the Terminal with this command:
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
Please copy and paste it and do not type it since it is a "sudo" command.
This command will execute the daily, weekly and monthly script. You can also run only one script if you want to. You won't see any graphical output in the terminal.

  • Is there any workaround at all to run PM7 on a Intel-based Mac?

    Dear friends:
    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and, before I did, I asked some questions to Apple about the possibility of having the software pre-installed, specifically, BootCamp and Classic, receiving the computer with a partition already made and requirements of the sort. Basically, Technical Support told me that they were not able to perform any of these tasks, although the person I have spoken to said to me that I could run PageMaker (I think he mentioned an update). After a couple of days researching, it appears that I have been misinformed. Unfortunately I have several hundreds of PageMaker files in archive, and I cannot afford to lose the ability to open them directly (I am a radical InDesign fan, I have used it since v.1.0). Does anybody know any workaround at all to run PageMaker 7 on a Intel-based Mac? Maybe some software to emulate the Classic? Maybe an upgrade or a third-party application? I cannot believe that MacOS supports Windows (in fact, I have installed Windows Vista) better than its predecessor Mac OS 9.2.2.
    Thanks a lot for your time,
    Eduardo Guarniz

    >Does anybody know any workaround at all to run PageMaker 7 on a Intel-based Mac?
    Well there are two ways. the best way is to have an old machine that boots OS9. If you don't have one, buy one. I found one for about $69 a few years ago I'm sure they are even cheaper now.
    There is some software called SheepShaver its supposed to run Classic apps on a Mactel. With all the problems of running PM in Classic (I would never use PM for production in Classic) Its probably even worse running on SheepShaver.
    Be smart get the old machine.

    Not using Boot Camp, but you should be able to using virtualization software such as Parallels to run Windows concurrently with OS X.

  • I have Quicktime 7 on my new MacBook Air running Yosemite 10.10.1 but would like to know if I can view or run my .mkv movies/files? Or are there any approved software that can run or view my .mkv files.  Thanks.

  • Is there any method to remember the running subtitle and audio stream when navigating through menus?

    I have a language Menu named 'Setup' with 4 buttons 1.English  2.Spanish  3.Spanglish  4.Subtitle Off.
    To reach this page you have to hit Setup button on Main Menu. The setup button takes to a sub-menu of Setup where I have a symbol of 'tick' at Subtitle Off indicating the state of the current subtitle stream. I have 3 more sub-menus with similar buttons but with 'tick' at different languages indicating the state of the current running/selected language, 2nd page has English with tick, 3rd page has Spanish with tick and 4th has Spanglish with tick. My client wants me to jump on the respective language ticked page when you hit the setup button on Main Menu. As far as I understand we cannot assign a code in Encore to a single button to read what subtitle stream is running.
    Is there any method to remember the running stream when navigating through menus?
    I have done this in Sonic Scenarist.
    Regards,
    A Gandhi

    I think this was added in a "newer" version of Encore (meaning anywhere from CS4 up). In any event, it is available in Encore CS6.
    There is a menu (not button) property that allows yoi9u to make the active subtitle track button the default (i.e. selected/highlight shows) just as you want.

    You could try Handbrake, it works quite well.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    Then sync.

    Is that a question?
    Photo stream pictures can be viewed only on the devices they were sent to.  You can't transfer them back to your phone (or anywhere else).  If you didn't back up or import the photos to a computer, and they are no longer on your phone, they're gone.

    Yes, you have lots of alternatives.
    1.  Got to somewhere like Google docs and create a comment and feedback form, that can be inserted onto your site via the html snippet.  You can also take a look at http://www.jotform.com.  Whenever someone completes the form, you will be e-mailed with all the info.
    2.  Use a comment system like http://www.intensedebate.com.  Very good and the comments will be displayed on your site and you will be e-mailed when someone comments and you are able to accept it or reject it in this way. 
    3.  Go and create a blog elsewhere, like http://wordpress.com or if you have hosting, then try http://wordpress.org.  You can load this on your server with no problem and then create comments here, so in your iWeb site you either create a link to your blog or you can display your blog as an iframe in your iWeb site using iframe code.
    4.  As far as hit counters go - there are many.  Just do a Google search for hit counters - http://www.hitcounterexpert.com and there are hundreds more.
    Perhaps Apple keep blog comments and hit counter as MobileMe only to encourage people to use MobileMe rather than external servers.  However, we can only speculate on that!

  • Is there any app to quit from application with out pressing home button every time

    is there any app to quit from application with out pressing home button every time?

    Months ago my home button was screwed up, and I was worried. I'd have to wait atleast for a week to get it repaired as I was busy with my exams. So I found a solution. Goto Settings->General->Accessibility.
    Scroll down, and under "Physics & Motor", select "Assistive Touch". Toggle it on, and you get lots of options. You don't need to click the home button all the time. It is a very simple widget like stuff, that stays no matter what app you're using and you can do various functions with it. Initially, it's irritating as you see it everywhere. But it fades itself out and appears when needed. After you get used to it, it's really helpful.

  • My airport express works on my MBPro 17 w/ 10.5.8 but not my MBAir11".  The MBAir says that this version of Airport utility doesn't support this base station.  Is ther any chance I can use this with my MBAir?

    Is this an older "round" version of the AirPort Extreme? If yes, it is true that AirPort Utility 6.x no longer supports the older AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express models.
    A model number......located on the bottom of the Extreme or on the side of the Express would be helpful to confirm what you have.
    Apple probably does want you to buy a new AirPort Extreme.
    The workaround might be to use a Mac or PC running a 5.x version of AirPort Utility.
    A more complicated workaround would be to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion.  This is not supported by Apple......it does work for me.....but may not work for you. See this article for more details:
