Re: onyx or clean my mac

[Sarah k Alawami]

I use both. Onyx is more of a tool for tweaking as well as cleaning. Clean my 
mac is a cleaner. Both do serve their purpose.

Take care.

has anyone tried or does anyone use Onyx? I think this is a fantastic utility

Mountain Lion is now faster. Go search for it via Google as it's not in the Mac 
App Store. It's by Titanium Software.
Kind regards Chris.

Re: Onyx

[Sarah k Alawami]

I love onyx and use it often. I did a podcast that is probably out of date by 
now, but remember to back up your system just in case something happens. I 
don't notice a speed increase for me but my system is so old it probably does 
not make a difference. lol! Hehaha.

Take care and be blessed.

Re: Onyx

[Esther]

Hi Chris and Others,

With regard to your suggestion of using OnyX, I'll except from an old 
trouble-shooting list post of mine back in June:


Do you or your girl friend run any maintenance software on your computer?  
There are good programs in both the paid and free categories that will check 
for these kinds of conditions.  OnyX is a free app. Cocktail and Tinkertool 
System are shareware apps (~$14.00).  They can clean out caches and log files. 
You can find these applications at the Macupdate site, which will also give 
links to the developer's site:

• OnyX for Mac
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/111582/onyx
* Cocktail
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/10909/cocktail
• TinkerTool System
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/13662/tinkertool-system


I'll add that the regular TinkerTool app allows you to configure preferences 
(e.g. show hidden files, and make other option changes).  I list the Macupdate 
site web pages because it is often easier to find links to the correct version 
of the app here, as well as read the standard summary format for what an 
application does, whether it is freeware or shareware, when it was last 
updated, etc.  In the case of OnyX, you should download the correct version for 
you operating system (if you are not running Mountain Lion).  Here's the 
MacUpdate site link to TinkerTool (for preference configuration rather than 
maintenance checking):
• TinkerTool
https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5721/tinkertool

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: onyx or similar for lion?

[William Mutch]

Hi, There is a new version of onyx that will work with Lion. The version number 
is 2.4 If you Google it you should find it. I downloaded it just the other day 
and it works the same as the snow leopard version did.
