Question Mac Users: CleanMyMac Utility
Any Mac users here use CleanMyMac to keep their system clean?
I found it on the Apple website as a top download. Are there better ones out there.

And let's not turn this into a PC vs. Mac thing. I own a Mac and I need a utility.

There are some shareware that do the same kind of thing!

I have used MacJanitor for the past 5 years with no ill affects!

I may give CleanMyMac a try! Looks like it lets you do a lot more!

I don't even worry about it on my mac. I used the default Leopard install for 3 years, and just recently installed Snow Leopard from scratch on a new HD.

Is there a specific problem you are trying to address?

Use it on my mac and have had it since July so far I have cleaned 4 gigs of crap. Mostly language files and cache. Totally worth it.

Peter,
Can't find it.
Can you post a link to Apple?
Interested in seeing what it is.

Slow response. More frequent "spinning beachball"

The free demo version identified at least 4GB of crap on my laptop. Demo version will only clean 500MB

I use MacScan, but it's more geared toward spyware/trojan horses/key loggers. Seems like you are looking for something to defrag your hdd.

I wish I could speak from experience. I run three macs and have read about this program too many times. All positive. This thread may be my turning point to finally pick it up.

Default Re: Mac Users: CleanMyMac Utility
Just got my first Mac a couple of weeks ago and I'm struggling with how to use it. I'm having difficulty with how to move files around as easily as I did on my PC. There's gotta be an easier way, but I'm just finding myself to be a complete dunce about navigating through my Macbook compared to anything I've done with any version of Windows.

Excellent. Glad to hear it.
I may buy the multi-pack since I have an iMac and an iBook. And my son and daughter each have an iBook as well.

Just drag and drop!!!

For everything else, use ten steps less than what you are use to!!!

Sorry Peter, if I broke the rules!!!

Based on the recommendations in this thread I went ahead and grabbed it as well. I wasn't having any issues or anything but always good to have.

Anyone have any other useful apps that are a must-have for Macs?
