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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Remote Apple TV 2 Cache Clean

After a couple weeks of Apple TV 2 use, I invariably need to unplug the unit so netflix will work without frequent buffering. i'm assuming the onboard cache needs to be emptied and I'm wondering if there is anyway I can do this remotely? The unit is placed where unplugging it is somewhat of a chore and I'd like to keep it there. I've done some research and I haven't found anything save jailbreaking it. Hopefully, Apple will recognize this as a problem and add a cache clean utility as a menu option.

I found the answer. Hold the down arrow and menu button on your remote until the base unit blinks rapidly, let go and the Apple TV resets. Do this to solve Netflix buffering problems (or simply unplug it.)

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.

Leopard Cache Cleaner now doesn't work - what else will we find?

Between iCal and LCC, i count 2 of 5 programs I opened today w/the new update that are completely kaput. What's next? 'C'mon, Apple - don't modify the OS until you've checked it through the user groups!

LCC was on the spot & now it works.

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.

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.

Like many others, I got the new iPad 3 and couldn't sync all of my photos. The best i got was 1,000 out of 15,000 to work. Today Apple released iTunes 10.6.1.7 and said the syncing issue was resolved. I erased my ipod cache and hit sync. Still locked.

Like many others, I got my new IPad 3 and could not sync all of my photos. The highest I got was 1,000 out of 15,000. Today Apple released iTunes 10.6.1.7 that , among other things, said it fixed the sync issue with photos. I excitedly, erased my ipod cache and hit sync. It looked like it was working, but just like before iTunes locked. This time at 2,244 of 15,000. Anybody have an idea of how to fix this?

What's the capacity of your iPad?
iTunes needs up to 3x of the actual size of the files you want to sync during the sync process. And syncing 15.000 photos could cross the size of the available free space on your device.
Don't forget that the pictures are now optimized for the retina display, so the size increases for each of them.

When will Apple release a patched version of Java JRE 6 for Snow Leopard?

When will Apple release a patched version of Java JRE 6 for Snow Leopard?

Hello:
No one here can answer that question. We are all users. Apple may or may not do anything about Java in the future.

My laptop is no longer reliable. I want to share my iTunes account with my new iPad 3.   I just started viewing my iPad window on my 50 inch Panasonic wirelessly via Apple Tv 2. That amazing.    I would like to access my iTunes store via iPad for podcast

My laptop is no longer reliable. I want to share my iTunes account with my new iPad 3.   I just started viewing my iPad window on my 50 inch Panasonic wirelessly via Apple Tv 2. That's amazing.
Now I want to share my iTunes account with my Apple TV 1, and my iPad 3, without the need of booting up the unreliable laptop where I set it up last year.   do I have to use my. Pc laptop to access the iTunes store again too authorize home sharing.   I have tried it before. O for a while I thought the we're sharing, now the Apple Tv has gone back to telling me to use my computer too sign into iTunes.
there maybe a far simpler way to enjoy iTunes on my iPad and Apple Tv.   I also have the Sony blurry Google Tv. I will upgrade my PC with Windows Z8 and a screaming ran cache, ram disk on a 79 mother board and then pay 5 bucks a month for OnLive Plus that I hpe to show wirelesslypy on the big scree 50 inch Panasonic.   I have waited for years to upgrade as I wanted to help my kids in college. They are finished and so I have money fr my self.CELEBRATE

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.
