Looking for a good app or program to rid my MacBook Pro of internet clutter

Would like to clean up my 2009 MacBook Pro with a good app that would make it more effective.  I am running Lion.  Any suggestions?

There are no apps necessary, nor recommended to clean your Mac. In fact, I'd urge you stay away from so-called "cleanup apps". Macs are pretty much self-maintaining. What problems are you experiencing?
The usual reason for slowness is lack of hard disk space
Please go to  Menu > About this Mac > and tell us Version, Processor & Memory specs on your Mac. Also available hard disk space, by choosing your Macintosh HD and "Get Info" (cmd-i)

  • New to Mac and I am looking for a good app to process labels for envelopes. Used to use the Printmaster program on the PC side.  Wondering if "Pages" Iis the correct program to buy of is there another option. Thank you.

    New to Mac and used to use a program called print master for making all kinds of labels etc. I am looking for a good app to do the same.  I was wondering if the Pages app was the right choice to do the labels etc.  I understand that pages I'd a word processing app but I was unable to tell if it could do what I was looking for. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    The Contacts application will print envelopes and is already on your iMac. See this Apple article for information on how to do it.
    Best of luck.

    I am looking for a good app that can help a college student with reading books that cannot be found on audio book.  I have tried voice over and it works but it's very monotone and it really strings things together. 
    - I'm willing to pay for a good app but I can't seem to sort though the many that are out there. Any suggestions.

    Ah. I'm surprised, but there we go.

    Didn't have time to do more than skim, but 'Ardour' looked promising. Protools is the only one I've used, the full product is one of the industry standards, but the free 'lite' version listed here seems to be limited to 2 in/out as well.
    Referring to your original post, I'd think trying to write or 'script' something would be a nightmare ... synchronisation of streams within something like Applescript would be a major issue, quite apart from anything else.

  • Looking for a good ebook reader program tht also downloads metadata (besides Calibre)?

    I like all the information that Calibre is able to download for my ebooks but the interface is so clunky and non-Maclike that it's a little painful. Other apps like Bookreader and Scarlett have a much nicer look and feel but don't download metadata at all, they just show what's already there.
    Does anyone know of a ebook reader app for OSX that is able to download metadata like Calibre can? Any help would be greatly appreciated -- thanks in advance!

    Very good write-up.  I've had my W540 for almost a week.  My thoughts:
    The Case:  The screen feels a bit flimsy to me, I think that's due to small hinges mounted near the edges.
    The Keyboard: I don't mind the offset keyboard, my current and previous Dells have had these, but they were 17.3" and 17" screens. I'm in engineering so I'd much rather have the extra numbers keypad than a centred keyboard. Although I don't like the CTRL and FN keys being the other way around.
    Night light: Haven't really noticed not having one as I haven't had one in the past. My Dell has backlight keys.
    Function keys: Don't particularly like this but once I found they could be locked on using the FN / Esc combo I just use this. It stays locked even if I reboot which is handy.
    Hard drive activity light would be handy, as would numbers and caps lock.  I've disabled the on-screen notification, that was just a pain. Sort of cr*p you would expect from Microsoft and all their silly tips, etc. that I disable as well.
    Touchpad: I've commented elsewhere that this is the worse I've even seen. Absolutely useless. I've disabled both the touchpad and touchstick (again, useless) and just use a mouse.
    Screen: Dreadful! I've got the 1920 x 1080 LCD.  The icon size is ok, I've got it set to the smallest I can.  However the screen looks washed out at the bottom. Again, I've posted about this before.
    Mine doesn't have a SSD and only has 4 GB of memory, so I find it very slow.  This is not a workstation unless you go for all the bells and whistles, otherwise it's ok for MS Ofifice and the internet but not for serious work. Forget programs such as AutoCAD and the like, too slow and the screen is too poor.
    Anyway, thats my opinion, I'm sure others will love this unit and disagree with me.

  • Looking for grey desktop wall paper at the start of MacBook Pro  OSX Lion

    Hey guys,
    I really like the grey wall paper with light texture... the one when you start up MacBook Pro OS Lion and you log in. I'm wondering if anyone know where the file is hiding in computer or anywhere on web to download? I wanna set it as my desktop. It's really easy on the eyes and really clean look.
    Thanks,

    I'm going to back up to Firefox 7 next. I'm getting the drift that 8.0.1 and/or flash on 8.0.1 are unstable.
    I'll let you know if that solves this problem.
    NOPE. This had no effect.

  • Looking for a visual app developing program

    Hi
    I am a graphic designer who doesn’t read or write code. I am looking to create very basic apps for Android and iOS and simply display pictures and play a MP3 that is on the device.
    Can anyone suggest a solution that would assist me with this? When I am done with the app, I would need it to output to APK or whatever the extention for iOS apps is.
    Thanks in advance for your help. I work in Windows or MAC.
    Chaz

    do yourself a favour and test your apps before buying. The Androidversion has quite some bugs, depending on the device and android version you use.
    For iPad its definatly a good tool. For android, not so much. It really depends on what you want to create.

  • Looking for a good app for viewing Wifi access point info

    Does anyone know of an app which will show me all of the access points within reach - even if they all have the same name - and will display signal strength as well as other data?
    I work in a place where I have to test the APs and verify that each one of them is up and running. They all have the same name so I need to verify their uniqueness by the MAC address. I also would like the ability to connect to a particular AP in the list and stay connected to it as I travel past other APs of the same name.
    I tried WifiTrak but it crashes upon startup. I'm hesitant to buy an app without a recommendation because of this. I'm also hesitant to try WifiFoFum because it wasn't all that great on my WM device and it costs money.
    Any suggestions?

    Thank you for your research on my behalf, but as I mentioned in the original post I have tried WiFiFoFum on a Windows Mobile device for free and it was kind of a turd. This makes me very hesitant to purchase it for my iPhone. If they offered a trial version I would give it a shot.
    Has anybody actually tried any really good wifi network information tools for iPhone? Can anybody make a recommendation based on experience?

  • Looking for a good method or APP to have client sign a form in a text box

    I am looking for a good method or App to take an existing form/Document and have a client sign, date etc.  I will want to create the text boxes in a stationary location.  Possibly to also take a picture to add to form.
    Has anyone used any apps to accomplish this?
    Apps I have tried.
    Signnow
    Sign PDF
    Sign Easy
    Sign Easy is about the best except the signatures (text boxes, dates, etc) are free floating and confuse people where to add them on form each time.  Clients have no clue how to use it.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.  I may be over complicating this also, as there could just be a PDF app that I utilize.
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • Looking for a good note taking app: Are there new features for the Notes app in iOS6?

    Hi,
    I've read that the Notes app with Mountain Lion will be available for OS X as well, and I was wondering if there will be any significant updates to the Notes app coming in iOS 6?
    The Notes app in Mountain Lion supports, as far as I know, text formatting, images and attachments. The Notes app in iOS 5 does not have any of these features, yet still it is claimed that the OS X client will sync with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. This means that there must be some rather significant updates coming for the Notes app in iOS 6 to match up with the features of its Mac counterpart. Still, no updates to the Notes app are listed in any of the iOS 6 feature lists I've seen so far.
    I'm looking for a good note taking app for OS X and iOS. I don't like how Springpad works, neither did Evernote work out for me, it's just too complex - I like Simplenote a lot though, it's just that its approach is too radical in my opinion. I was thinking that the Mountain Lion Notes app might be a good alternative because it combines simplicity with rich text formatting and attachments. I kind of hate the skeuomorphic user interface though.
    best, Ian

    You are only addressing other iPad users here & no Apple employees. We have no way of knowing, so you'll have to wait until iOS 6 is released.

  • Looking for a good movie maker app for iPad 1

    Hi Everybody-
      I am looking for a good Photo/Movie maker for the iPad 1. Something that I can add Photos/Movies together and add some songs and have editing capabilities for all of it and possiabily export it as well to my PC to burn to DVD/CD.
    So if anybody can give my recomondations, I'd really appriciate it.There some good ones, but not for the iPad 1. So I wanted to get all of your suggestions so I can narrow down my search. Please let me know if you need further information as well.
    Thanks so much for your time.
    Sincerely- Douglas

    There are no movie maker apps in the App Store that will work well on the iPad 1, it just doesn't have enough RAM. If you read the reviews for the Avid app in the App Store everyone with an iPad 1 is complaining about it. iMovie, as you probably already knew, does not have a version for the iPad 1.
    Wait for the iPad 3 and then set about making movies, the 1 (which I also have) just does not have the horsepower for what you want to do.

  • Looking for a good music player app

    Hi.
    I have a problem. i'm looking for a good music player app for my new iphone (which i will buy my next month) in terms of playing music. after having 3 phones in the last 9 months i'm still unhappy.
    Had a Samsung Galaxy Ace. sound was above average but due to underpowered processor + RAM (and Samsung stating they won't update the software anymore) i had to sell it.
    Than had a Sony Ericcson Xperia Neo but felt the sound was "flat" and bland" and left me disappointed and uninspired coming from a well-known phone maker know for its audio & visual expertise.
    Now, i currently have the HTC Desire S. umm although the sound was "Ok" with its usual pre-set equalizers (common among Android phones) and SRS sound enhancement it felt me wanting more and although i have the phone for a week now i would say "so far-so good."
    but i heard the best music phones out there are those with either Beats Audio (which are very brand new) or the ones with Dolby Mobile.
    had an iPod touch (4th-gen) and i was amazed and impressed by the sound quality.
    so, if i can get away with a good music player app that recreates surround sound, has good preset EQ's along with customisable ones and one with Dolby-like support which app would you recommend?
    Thank you.

    Stock lock screen does not normally support 3rd party widgets so you wont find any third party players that allows you access while on lock screen..  As for the player I perfer Meridian Media Player Revolute from https://market.android.com/details?id=org.iii.romulus.meridian&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5paWkucm9tdWx1cy5tZXJpZGlhbiJd
