Leopard Cache Cleaner=Optimize Internet=loss of 300K per sec.

I was getting 1.3MB per second, ran optimize for Broadband in Leopard Cache Cleaner and have now lost 300K per second. I speed test all the time. Trust me, its 300+K slower - how do I restore back to pre OPTIMIZE or what setting did it change!
Thanks

I would check with Northern Softworks for either an undo or an answer.

  • NOT USING AP EXTREME used Leopard Cache cleaner OPTIMIZE for BROADBAND=slow

    Anyone know what OPTIMIZE for BROADBAND did? I lost at least 300K per second after this.
    HUGE friggin mistake.
    It asked me for my password so I know its a buffer/memory setting and not the router - anyone here know how to restore back to previous state?
    Thanks

    Well, after a few reboots, clear safari (reset), it does seem a bit faster.
    It went from 10150K per second (1.01MB) to 10620K and I get about 1.2~1.3MB per second download.
    Just wondering what setting it changed.

  • Northern Softworks via Apple released Leopard Cache Cleaner 4.0.19 today (shareware)

    Northern Softworks via Apple released
    Leopard Cache Cleaner 4.0.19
    today

    24 hours after my first post about this issue, I've just fired up the G5 and it's still running smoothly AND the airport is being recognized and is connected to the wifi. +(But no more...see below.)+
    I did one last step yesterday regarding the AirPort, but am not sure that it's what fixed it. After research on these forums, I deleted a file called "AppleAirPort2.kext in my /System/Library/Extensions folder. Apparently it is an older Tiger-only AirPort Driver that is no longer used on Leopard.
    I also ran (for the second time) the newest Airport Driver. After doing both of those yesterday, I unhooked all hardware, and re-booted - but saw no change.
    However, as I said, it's working now....apparently it needed to re-sync in its own time.
    Thanks all for your help. Smooth sailing now - the ultimate reason for a successful update, was starting up in Safe Mode and installing the updates from there.
    So don't forget:
    1. Do a BACKUP.
    2. *Repair Permissions* from your System Disk
    3. Start up in *Safe Mode*
    4. Download & Install the update combo from the Apple Site (Although I used Software Updates)
    5. *Repair Permissions* from your System Disk again.
    5. Cross your fingers.
    My G5 is definitely snappier now.
    *+Edited to say: I just glanced at the wifi and IT'S NOT CONNECTED. And the Airport won't turn on in System Prefs. So something is still a little dodgy with that.+* At least the System Profiler is now showing that I have an Airport Card, etc.

  • Comments on Leopard Cache Cleaner?

    Does anyone recommend the Leopard Cache Cleaner? I run 2 machines with Tiger, one with Leopard, both PPC and intel. Just before I install it I thought I'd ask . . .
    Thanks

    Thanks both of you - I am getetig ready to send in an MBP due to some problems with sleep, freezes, got lots ohelp on this site - but no solution - ran across this app on the Apple products page (actually was looking for a replacement install disk as I misplaced mine for the moment-and dont want to over look any tool that I "should" have used - very LITTLE info at the site - not installed yet - it appears to be an Apple product. I don't install a lot random, extra apps so just making sure. Wouldn't know about Windows (ha, ha) exclusive Mac user since 1 MB was a BIG hd.

  • Onyx vs. Leopard Cache Cleaner.

    Which one do you like best and why?
    I want to stick with only one of them, but haven't seen any decisive reviews that puts one marginally ahead of the other.

    Time Machine is a good thing but I also make back up clones of my disk using SuperDuper to an external firewire drive: http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    This simple to use program and my firewire drive have proven to be enormously beneficial to me in allowing me to make repairs to my main disk, especially having DiskWarrior on it. Quite frankly it's saved my butt a few times.
    I bought both Onyx and Leopard Cache Cleaner thinking they would be great maintenance utilities. It's just too bad that I was so inexperienced at the time that I made all the mistakes that A. Brody has so well detailed. I haven't used either in quite a while but if I did I would only use them to run the daily, weekly, monthly maintenance routines as I turn my Mac off at night. But even that I haven't done for awhile and I seem to suffer no ill effects. Personally I'm leery of both programs now. My last investment was TinkerTool from Marcel Bresink, but unless one knows what they are doing you can make all the mistakes of the other two programs.
    DiskWarrior, Techtool Pro, they are my expensive workhorses now.

  • Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner

    Hi, I downloaded a trial version of a product called Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner from the Apple Download site. I since choose not to use it, but something else. I deleted the program BUT, a VERY annoying yellow box keeps popping up every 2o mins or so asking me to Register/Buy it. I cannot locate where this is sitting on my Mac, and cannot email the company as it wont allow you to (their website) any ideas???

    The instructions are on the right side of the page that opens if
    you goto the link above...
    Here is the content:
    How do I uninstall Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner
    sLCC is an application, and thus uninstalling is fairly easy. A key to removing it however is to ensure that Automatic Maintenance is off. Instructions to do this are detailed in the users manual. Once Automatic Maintenance is off, just drag sLCC to the trash and it is uninstalled. If you wish to be thorough, you can also trash the Preference files as well. If you have already deleted sLCC, please feel free to download it again to complete the removal process.
    If you prefer, you can remove sLCC manually instead. In the Terminal or Activity Monitor applications, kill the sLCC engine process. In the System Preferences, remove the sLCC Engine from the Login Items. In your Preferences, delete the sLCC related files.

  • Leopard Cache Cleaner 4.0.2

    Hello,
    I recently downloaded the Leopard Cache Cleaner 4.0.2 from apple.com but have not yet installed. Has anybody used this before? Does it work well?
    LMK what you can
    Thanks in advance

    Hi again JP:
    In my opinion, no routine +"cache cleaning"+ is required under OS X. Back in the +"old days,"+ I used to do all sorts of maintenance things. OS X has been incrementally improved so that it is virtually free of any maintenance requirement. For example, the UNIX 'cron' routines are initiated on a more or less regular basis. OS X 'defrags' files of less than 20 MB on the fly. In my opinion, clearing system caches would actually slow a system for a period of time. I do clear the Safari cache on very infrequent occasions.
    All of this is opinion, but I practice what I preach.

  • Do I need "Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner" ?

    Well folks, as the subject suggests ....

    I would look at the features. I never liked the auto run but there are things in there. I bought it back when it was for Panther I believe.
    I can't believe people totally dismiss it without giving more than cursory NO, not needed etc. They may also want to try telling people you don't need any utilities, and that even Disk Warrior isn't needed even though it does a better job and finds more errors than Apple First Aid.
    The ideal is to have a test backup you can boot from and play with and test the darn thing! never do anything of course without backups, hopefully that you can boot from (unlike TimeMachine).
    So go to the product page and look at features, download it on your system and take a look at it (don't run it). Maybe you want to use ClamXav, or customize Spotlight or TimeMachine or DNS cache. Or have it tell you when your hard drive reports SMART error. There are probably 20+ features and maybe one you want to have on hand.
    Backups are needed. A good solid 3rd party disk repair and maintenance utility. Maybe your system needs a UPS.
    Take a look at feedback comments and what is new on MacUpdate and VersionTracker and get an idea. I sometimes wait awhile, and the 'what is fixed in this release' can be instructive. I think the author is on his toes and on the ball though, just as much as some other well respected authors.

    LCC was on the spot & now it works.

  • Anyone have active download link for Tiger Cache Cleaner?

    All links I find are either dead or download Leopard or Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner instead. Thanks.

    I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

  • System cache cleaning - when is it safe, and when is not?

    System cache cleaning is one of those so-called "maintenance" tasks that you may read about on the forums on Mac OS X guides that has mixed reviews, and typically is not necessary. In fact, when it is done at the wrong time, data corruption can lead to a situation where an erase and reinstall is necessary. I can't reproduce it easily, but I will say I've had it happen to at least three of my clients, so it is not as random as one would hope.
    You've probably heard of browser cache, and that's safe to clean anytime you like. One thing you'll notice about when you do, is that some websites will load slower, and others will load faster depending on your internet connection, and the frequency those websites get updated.
    System cache on the other hand which you'll find in ByHost and Cache folders in your Hard drive -> Library, System -> Library, Users -> yourname -> Library are a much more sensitive type of file. These will optimize the speed of frequently done operations on the operating system itself as well as specific applications which require those folders. When one of these files get corrupted, programs won't launch, will unexpectedly quit, will launch and close on their own, and in some cases Disk Utility won't function normally, or System Preference panels won't launch. To avoid these problems:
    1. Only do system cache cleaning after your data is completely backed up to your satisfaction, so that a system restore won't waste your time.
    2. Do it when no other applications are running, and there are no memory resident programs that may be affected by such cleaning in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login or Startup Items. Check the Process or Activity Viewer applications for applications you might have installed.
    3. Do not allow the process to be interrupted until it is finished. If any power outage happens, you may be left with a corrupted cache file.
    If you have a corrupted cache problem, attempt to isolate if it is happening just to one account by creating another account with Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts with admin access and see if it impacts that account as well. Do the following depending on whether or not it does affect that account:
    1. If isolated to one user, go back to the user and delete that user's Library folder's cache files relating to system and Launchservices, and log out and log back in the user twice. If it disappears as a problem once, and reappears, something you are running is persistentantly corrupting that user's cache folder, and you may have to move all the non-corrupt files to the new user.
    2. If it is not isolated to the user go to the System and Library folders under the hard drive and see if the Launchservices files and System cache files are removed if the issue disappears on reboot, and if it does, does it reappear after a second reboot. If it reappears after a second reboot, then you have the scary prospect of an erase and install of your system.
    Don't use automatic utilities to manage your system or user cache files. If anything only manually clean the cache when it is necessary and you have corrupted files. The cache is there to speed your system, and should otherwise not be touched.

  • Best Mac OS X Cleaning/Optimization Software?

    Hello All,
    I would like to know which is the very best Mac OS X system optimization/cleaning programme available - preferably one that detects and fixes any errors and faults within the system and apps. I got an e-mail about a product called 'Spring Cleaning 10" for Macs which claims to keep ones Mac in tip top shape - has anyone used this and is it any good? There are so many products out there that claim to to be the best that I am at a loss as to which ones are any good!
    Suave!

    Unfortunately such tools have just as great a likelihood of requiring a backup to recover from errors they make as not. Cache cleaning is one example. We get so many people come into these boards whose applications no longer launch, or unexpectedly quit. What is the cause? LaunchServices cache files have gone south. And guess what sent them there? Tools such as Onyx, Macaroni, Applejack.
    The Mac OS does all the cache cleaning I have ever done on this computer.
    I am sure that some people have over-zealously applied some of these tools unwisely, but most of the references I have seen to cache cleaning and deletion on these forums in the past year or so have been as solution recommendations (which sometimes work) to people who already have existing computer problems rather than being caused by them toying with their computers. Again, my main reason for mentioning Onyx was not for its prophylactic "maintenance" capabilities but as a tool for dealing with specific issues that already exist. I use it, rarely, but only in response to specific issues.
    Disk Warrior while it is great, will not fix a dying hard drive.
    Agreed, but I think a dying hard drive is a very different issue from the "maintenance" about which the OP was asking. A dying hard drive is when anybody will need a backup (though I once made it through a dying hard drive case without using my backups or special tools, but that's another story).
    Free backup solutions exist.
    Software, yes, but the reality of the situation is many people do not consider another $100 for a backup drive to be part of a computer purchase.
    Suffice it to say, priority should be placed on backing up before any "maintenance" tools are used.
    Uh, again, didn't I say, "Your first priority"???
    Since failure of drives can happen at anytime without any warning, due to mechanical issues which no maintenance tool can fix, backing up is still a priority. It should be a part of one's regular routine, and as such is more routine than general maintenance. Maintenance implies a routine practice. Thus backup is maintenance in an indirect way. It is maintenance of your data's integrity.
    I think we will have to agree to disagree on the definition of maintenance. For me, maintenance is upkeep of the existing drive, equivalent to changing the oil in my car. I consider a backup like having my second car in case my first car fails, whether it be by an accident or aging. So, I make sure my second car is in good running condition before I start doing any major work on my first car in case something goes wrong during repairs, just the way you might want to back up before you run a tool on a hard drive. I do happen to have a second car; many people don't and then get stuck when the first fails. However, if you maintain your only car you are less likely to need that second car (that's why I now own two 28 year old cars ). Yes, eventually you will need it, but that will be either due to an accident (= sudden hard drive failure or serious directory crash) or due to the car just wearing out (= hard drive failing after many years of service as they all do). Some people buy new computers before the drives wear out (I think of all the good 250MB drives I have in a box upstairs) so in that case they are simply gambling on their current drive being in good shape mechanically and if they can at least maintain file/directory integrity on the drive they can run reduced risk of eventually needing that backup.

  • Cache Cleaner for Treo 700WX

    I am having an issue in getting to a web site that gives the message that it is enabling a

    No matter how long the program runs, it will only stay on that page, it will not update or continue.

    Please help!

  • Is there any ocasional Cache cleaning with Yosemite ever needed?

    Just curious if there is ever any need or benefit to do any type of Cache cleaning with Yosemite?   Thanks, Bill

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make two or more backups of all your files, keeping at least one off site at all times in case of disaster. One backup is not enough to be safe. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
    Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Don't install such modifications unless they're absolutely necessary. Remove them when they are no longer needed. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all system modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of difficulties with system updates.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac," "TuneUpMyMac," and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
    As a rule, you should avoid software that changes the way other software works. Plugins for Photoshop and similar programs are an obvious exception to this rule. Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Only install software that is useful to you, not (as you imagine) to the computer. For example, a word processor is useful for writing. A video editor is useful for making movies. A game is useful for fun. But a "cache cleaner" isn't useful for anything. Cleaning caches is not an end in itself.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
    4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
    5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against malware, but you can’t rely on it—the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness—not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    6. Don't fill up your disk/SSD. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a startup failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
    While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
    7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform.
    A well-designed computing device is not something you should have to think about much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that needs a lot of attention, use a PC.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • Disk Warrior & Tiger Cache Cleaner

    Hi,
    I'm new to the mac world, and I've been introduced to the concept of regularly needing to:
    1. Use Disk Warrior
    2. Clear the "cache"
    I'm stumped by the premise that an operating system needs two third party utilities to basically function normally.
    Could someone explain exactly why these utilities are needed and seem to be must-haves in the mac world?
    Thanks,
    Nikhil

    IndianCowboy:
    You've opened a can of worms, put 10 experienced mac users in a room and you'll get 12 opinions on maintenance and repair, and some will debate their methods quite vigorously. I've come to the conclusion that it really is individual, no two people have exactly the same software on their Mac or use it in the same way (you may not realize it but we each develop our own techniques).
    In your case you came up against a serious directory problem that requires reinstalling the system, but this is rare. Overlapped files is very serious but also very rare and unlikely to be related to any maintenance or lack of it.
    You'll need to play around a bit and find out what works best for you.
    Personally, I don't run anything until my Mac starts acting up; gets slow, apps start crashing, or simply quirky behavior (or the rare kernal panic). Then, depending on how bad it is I'll run Cocktail (very similar to Tiger Cache Cleaner) or run Disk Warrior first then Cocktail. Where many problems start is in the caches which get rewritten constantly and so are volatile. Sometimes just a restart will fix these things or a Safe Boot (holding down the shift key). A safe boot runs some repairs and deletes all your font caches, so it's a good thing any time you are having font problems. And a simple restart will often fix many problems. It really takes some time to get the feel for what to do in each situation. I've gotten pretty good in figuring out what needs to be done with each bad behavior.
    Before an update I will always run Disk Warrior and Cocktail first then repair permissions afterwards. This might be overkill but I have no problems with updates at all.
    Or follow the advice others here have given, I bet most will work. Follow the link to Dr. Smoke's site, he has lots of very good info (including the problems you might run into with cache cleaning) and his method of rebuilding the launch services database is far better than any other, don't do this one with a utility, use the Doc's method.
    But don't think of running Disk Warrior and cleaning caches as routine maintenance, it's repair for problems. The single most important thing you can do is clone your hard drive to an external Firewire drive. I don't put mine on a schedule for updating the clone but only do so when I know the system is purring like a kitten, so i know the clone is always in good shape. An added advantage to a clone is that it optimizes the disk (also known as defraging). Make a clone then restore it to your main hard drive and you have a perfectly defragged drive that runs very fast and is easier and faster than defragging software.
