( The last Mac I had was the Imac DV SE which I purchased new when it was released. )

This article helped me and also help me kind of remember some things. I’ve bookmarked it and used it several times already. Thanks!

I’ve been doing the Repair Permissions and Repair Disk Permissions about once per month. (I found this referred to on one of your other posts or video tutorials.) But when I tried to google around to see if there was anything else I should be doing, it came up with nothing really. So this post REALLY helps me. The only thing that didn’t work for me was the resetting of the SMC. I googled it and found something that worked on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964. I always kept my Windows machines healthy and happy, so it’s great to see that I can do the same for my baby. LOL!
Take Care!

Whenever things start going really slow… it usually helps a lot. :)
There are specific things each process does – clearing out a lot of extra “stuff” in your computer so it can “think” faster. Kind of like a colonic for the Mac – lol. :)

I repair permissions whenever things seem a bit laggy or Adobe products crash. (Nothing else really does). I have rarely done the whole optimization thing though.
How often do you do this? Just as needed? And when is that? I’ve only done it when things seemed seriously wrong, and then it was, like you, a hard drive in it’s death throes.
