Monthly To-Dos
Keeping your Mac in tip-top operating shape is pretty easy. This video will show you how to rebuild the permissions database and verify the integrity of your hard drive. I ask my clients to do this on a monthly basis.
Repairing permissions can give your system a big performance boost if it is feeling sluggish. We will cover the why’s of permissions in a later article. Verifying the hard drive can tell you if there is anything wrong on the drive. While it is rare that it finds anything, it would be better to know earlier rather than later. A drive failure can lead to the loss of all the data on your computer. Drive failure is a matter of when, not if! But for you, it will never be a problem because you are making all of those great backups….
You are making backups, aren’t you?
Ok, well, let’s cover repairing permissions this week and we’ll talk about backups next week.
Enjoy!
