Click on the Apple in the upper-left corner of your screen and then click on "About this Mac." If you want more in-depth info, launch System Profiler. That will tell you everything about your computer.

Thanks, Satcomer! Just did that. I was not aware of the recent spat of Trojans. :eek: I guess I've been too engrossed with my new computer! LOL :p I rarely use Safari anyway (I am enjoying Chrome a lot lately), but I did what you said in Safari's preferences anyway. Thanks again. :)

Bizzarre Love Triangle by New Order (Thumbs up to the previous poster.) :D

Oops, I think I posted my reply to this in my other thread. Wrong thread! :eek: I wanted to thank you all for your help and let you know that I did in fact install Maintidget - what a wonderful little widget! And yes the cron jobs DO apparently run automatically with Snow Leopard, whether...

Satcomer, you're the BEST! As always, great info. Thank you! :) By the way, I installed Onyx and Flush and Maintidget..... so far. Still exploring and learning...... that's the fun of it! :D I'm gonna take a look at those speed test links now. Thanks again! P.S. I noticed that other...

Thank you! Installed Onyx. Some of the features look a bit too complex for me. I have no idea what they mean, so I will just stay out of that area. LOL If I just use it once or twice a month for the "Cleaning" feature and execute the system cache, user cache, internet cache and clean those...

Thank you! How can I tell if things using Java work fine? I randomly searched for Java-based chat rooms and entered one after Chrome asked me for permission to run Java and I didn't see any error messages or anything so I guess Java is working fine?

Am I so thankful for this place! You guys ROCK! Thank you so much to ALL of you for your replies. You've been a HUGE help. I installed Maintidget already and guess what? Snow Leopard DOES run those cron jobs automatically EVEN IF the computer is shut down or sleeping during 3 and 5 a.m., it runs...

I have read some articles from Apple saying certain permissions notices can be safely ignored but what about the others? Here's what mine says EVERY SINGLE time. :( Please let me know if there's something wrong here......... Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD” Permissions differ on...

Satcomer, that Flush page says there are 2 versions - "command line app" and a "GUI version." I don't know what the difference is or which one to download. :(

Thank you! I loooove free widgets! :) So it's true then? Snow Leopard does NOT run the cron jobs automatically upon waking the computer if you miss that 3 to 5 a.m. time slot? It still needs to be run manually just like with the old Panther OS? I read that Snow Leopard changed this but I guess...

I remember in Panther the cron jobs would not run if your computer was shut down or sleeping between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. so you needed a third-party app to run them. I've been doing some research since I now have a new MacBook Air with Snow Leopard, and I am finding conflicting information. Some...

That's what I thought! Thanks for confirming, Satcomer. :) Now Fryke, don't you go rubbin' your techie skills in. You KNOW not all of us ("us" meaning me LOL) can't do all that fancy stuff. :p ;)

Actually, I repair permissions using Mac OS's Disk Utility - I don't use 3rd party software for that. However....... every time I repair permissions I get a really LONG list of stuff. I have done some research on this and Apple states that these messages can be safely ignored so I guess it's...

Hi! Thanks for your reply. I just read the reviews on Flush and I got scared. What about this one? Kill Flash Cookies........ http://www.flashtester.org/ It says it comes in "2 flavors - A command line application and a GUI version." Which one should I download if I decide to go with this app?

In the past (on older OS's) I have used computer maintenance apps (Mac Janitor, Onyx, etc.). Since Apple is constantly improving the OS and now we are on Snow Leopard (which I had never used until I bought my new MacBook Air 4 days ago)....... just wondering are those maintenance apps still...

I hope y'all don't get tired of seeing my name around here! LOL Wow, I really missed this place and it's great to see some old faces. Anywho........ most of you already know by now (because I cannot shut up about it) that I have a MacBook Air now to replace my ancient, beloved iBook G4 (RIP :(...

I have been repairing permissions via Disk Utility for the past 8 yrs....... well not CONSTANTLY! LOL When I had my old iBook G4 and running Panther I was told to repair permissions periodically and ESPECIALLY before and after installing software, so that's what I've been doing. NOW........ I...

Hi everyone, I'm a little confused about 3 terms........ 1. Storage space 2. Memory (RAM) 3. Processor I know what they are but my confusion lies in the question of...... which 1 of those 3 accounts the most for computer SPEED (loading web pages, launching apps, watching videos, etc.)? Or...

Hey, thanks everyone for your replies! It's nice to see some old faces here! It's like a welcome home party with my fellow Mac-ies. :) I am looooooovin' my new MacBook Air! This is my third day using Chrome...... so far, so good. It's really fast and I haven't experienced any crashes or...
