When in doubt, shut down, then start is the better choice. But restart seems to, currently, work as well. Brent On my iPhone Xr

Al, are you implying that OS X and later macOS are moving away from their Unix origins, and so those daily, weekly, monthly routines are less relevant? I am not a machine language guy, so my question

TThank you for posting the detail. They certainly don't seem to do much. But it is always good to know what runs without consciously starting it myself. My own iMac doesn't seem to have "slowdowns" /

I seriously doubt that any of those scripts could result in a noticeable slow-down as they don't do much and there aren't very many that will apply to most users. They should occur at the same time

My own iMac has Mojave. I would be interested in seeing what those scripts do. Perhaps the "random times" could explain possible intermittent "slowdowns" AG Friday, July 21, 2023, 8:29:31 AM, Al

I don't think there is anything "normal" about Windows computers. I have to be careful what I write on what is basically an Apple mailing list, but one thhing I notice between all three of MacOS,

All versions of macOS have had scheduled maintenance scripts, which are holdovers from it's original Unix core, but there aren't as many now as there once were and they never have been very important.

I don’t think restarts are as important as they once were for frequent maintenance. Didn’t the early versions of OS X incorporate scheduled maintenance routines into the OS. A start-up, clears

Why are you looking for problems? If there was a volume, fine, but you haven’t mentioned a problem. I prefer to use a holster, rather than a pocket. Less humidity seems to gather less lint. In 20+

These happen in the late evening, when we are mostly watching TV, listening to music, etc. They are incremental backups of user folders only, using CCC, and usually take less, often much less, than ?

But what about scheduled tasks such as backups or other things that take a long time to run? I find it best to let those happen while I am sleeping or otherwise away from the computer for several

It is difficult in the extreme to hold that USB microscope steady when taking a high-magnification photo of the gunk in the speaker holes on my iPhone X. Here’s my best shot: it appears there is a

Back when I ran a lab, I did an automated shutdown at least an hour after I expected anyone to use it, and an automated start 30 minutes prior to morning start times. It that was way back in LC II

I know we don’t need to, but we shut down our Apple notebooks every night. It just seems wrong to leave them on overnight. I know that they use very little energy when in sleep mode, but it’s not

That’s a very bad idea indeed. Some years ago, trying to resolved a complicated Mac issue, was bumped up several levers to a senior engineer. His advice: restart your apple devices every two weeks

Hahaha! How long does he go without restarting? I may go months, but the first thing I do if I have an issue is to restart. Hahaha! Shades of slapping the side of the TV set to fix it. Brent

I had never heard of WhiteTack or BlackTack until I tried searching for Blue Tack on Amazon. I was also surprised to see various versions of Blue Tack itself there. I tend to make lists of multiple

Just the usual: sticking stuff like posters and cards to the wall or fridge (no magnet required!). I’ve only just tried it on the phone for the first time. I had an idea that it *might* work so I

That’s amazing. That’s what I am going to order. Thanks for that additional info, Otto. Much appreciated. Just for fun: what other uses have you found for White Tack? Bob ——— “They say the
