Help with a Mac
I have a MacBook and it has been running slow lately. And ideas on how to get it back up to speed? I know with PCs you can run the defragmenter, but is there something like that for Macs?

1. Repair Permissions maybe??
In any case, you'llprobably get more help in the DU Mac Users Group.

3. Hubby says Tech Tool Deluxe might help
Luckily, our Mac has never slowed down like that... only the Toshiba seems to have that problem. Oh, and, he just said to add, he bought that as part of the AppleCare plan. So, if you don't have that, well, I don't know what to suggest!

Good luck.

4. Macs automatically defragment files.
I would start with opening Activity Monitor (Applications --> Utilities) and see if anything looks out of whack.
