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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Transfer individual apps from Snow Leopard to clean installed Mountain Lion

    I had a Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro Early 2011.
    Took a backup (a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner) of the system and erased my volume to install an SSD and HDD combination, then did a fresh install of Mountain Lion from thumb drive , which I had prepared earlier from an App Store download.
    Now installing all applications manually to have it clean. Some apps, though, I cannot do clean install, either because I do not have the original install packs or do not want to lose all my personal data on them.
    iLife (Garage Band, iDVD, iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, what else?)
    Mail
    iTunes
    HOw can I go around bringing these apps from my clone into the new ML ?
    I am aware of the option to pay for the iLife apps in the App Store.

    macjack's suggestion worked for the iLife apps.
    I just ignored the "expired certificate" warning of the Disc 2, "Application Installation Disc" and installed the bundle.
    Then without opening them, I went for "software update". Now the App Store allowed me to download the updates. Will take several hours. But I think they are the most up to date versions, so I won't have to pay.
    for mail, I followed the below instructions found here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1422832)
    1) Go to users/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail
    2) Delete V2 folder and copy data you have in SL Mail folder
    3) Go to users/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads
    4) Copy data you have in SL Mail Downloads folder
    3) Go to users/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
    4) Delete com.apple.mail.plist and copy the same file you have in SL Preferences folder

  • Installing Snow Leopard on "clean" Mac

    Hey.
    I'm new to mac, I bought my Macbook Pro in late Aug 2009.
    I have the "normal" Leopard witch was installed when I bought the mac.
    I have been using PC for 15 yrs soo I'm not really familiar to how thing works in Mac so I hope someone out there can help me.
    I have bought the 9 Euro upgrade dvd for Snow Leopard and I'm planning to upgrade my mac from Leopard to Snow Leopard (heard it was fast). The thing is, does it "just" upgrade the Leopard to Snow Leopard or does it make a "clean" installation (PC terms) witch erase the Leopard and all my files and then install the Snow Leopard?
    I wish to have a completely clean installation on Mac Snow Leopard, is this possible with the 9 Euro Upgrade DVD?
    Please help me!

    You can, but probably not by the method mentioned by Barney, if by the "9 Euro" DVD you mean a disc you got via the Snow Leopard Up-To-Date program. I am not certain about this, but it is likely that these discs will only allow you to update an existing installation of Leopard to Snow Leopard.
    So, to do a clean install in this case, you would first restore your Mac to out-of-the-box state with the original Leopard discs that came with it, then use your up-to-date disc to upgrade that to Snow Leopard.

  • Time Machine: Snow Leopard; 12 clean installs followed by restores:  NOTHIN GETS RESTORED!

    Clean install Snow Leopard 10.6 from disc.
    Software upgrades run (to get from 10.6 to 10.6.8).

    What am I doing wrong?  Do I have to select every one of the 425, 683 files that I want installed?
    I followed the instructions to the tee.

    I don't know what instructions you're following, but the definitive version is here: http://pondini.org/TM/14.html
    Wipe the drive again using DU from the installer, then from the same Utilities menu click the "Restore System From Backup" item.

  • Upgrade Leopard to Snow Leopard or clean Install?

    Hi,
    I have a 2 1/2 year old iMac (24").
    Recently I spent a lot of time tidying it up and deleting duplicate files to free up a lot of space.
    Am I safe to upgrade to Snow Leopard or should I bite the bullet, put aside a lot of free time, and do a clean install and re-install all my programs?
    I would appreciate any little advise people can give.
    Regards,
    Richard.

    Hi Richard, if your cetain the Disk structure is OK.  themn I've updated bpth Tiger/10.4. & Leopard/10.5 to SL/10.6 without problems, only caveat is if you have some 3rd party Extentions, or things like Safari Add-ons!
    1. Insert the Mac OS X 10.6.x Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Snow Leopard on clean, partitioned HD?

    I am curious if I can install Snow Leopard on a clean, partitioned section of my hard drive, with no other Mac OS installed at all? I am PC user, Vista ultimate 64-bit, looking to dual-boot with Snow Leopard. I have done research on Google and I know it is possible, but I also came across a few links stating that SL can't be installed without the previous OS, Leopard.
    So, would it be possible for a PC user to install Snow Leopard on a partitioned section of my hard drive, with no previous Mac OS used?
    My specs meet the requirements of the OS, by the way...
    -Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz
    -5GB DDR3 RAM
    -ATI Mobility HD Radeon 512MB
    -199GB free
    EDIT: Also, would I be required to use RebelEFI?

    No, they do not. The primary spec is an Apple-branded Mac. This is not just a licensing requirement. Snow Leopard includes drivers only for the hardware Apple uses in Macs that can run Snow Leopard. Not only does Apple use proprietary versions of Intel CPU's, it uses only a limited number of graphics processors (not including the ATI Mobility series), & several custom circuits like the SMC. Macs also do not have a BIOS; they use EFI instead.
    Some people not concerned with legal niceties try to make do with hacks, including using Apple's drivers with near-equivalent PC hardware. Despite claims to the contrary, I have yet to see one of these things that is actually stable enough for any serious use.

  • Install Snow Leopard on clean HD

    So I'm fixing a macbook and i'm trying to re-install Snow Leapard onto the Hard Drive. I've put the hard drive in and held the "C" key down while turning the computer on and all I get is a flashing folder with a question mark. I'm guessing that means the system can't find the software on the computer. Is there anyway I can install the system without a firewire or sled to dock the drive?

    Not sure what you are doing.
    Drive Preparation and Snow Leopard Installation
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. After formatting is completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
    1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    2. Restart the computer.
    3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

  • 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.
