![]() ![]() Finally, you can look into virtualization software. Also you can use OS X's Boot Camp feature if you would like to run Word natively in Windows. Microsoft has released Microsoft Office for OS X, which can be purchased in an Apple Store. For your final question on Word, you have some options. You do need to be sure your iMac meets the system requirements, which mainly is that it contains an Intel processor. As far as your question of benefits to upgrading, yes there are some new features and fixes in Mac OS X Snow Leopard† that many will find beneficial. Mac OS X Snow Leopard is version 10.6 which you do not currently own, but can be purchased for $29 from any Apple Store. The.8 in 10.5.8 means there have been 8 updates applied to the base 10.5.0 version. Then move onto “System” and “User” once you feel safe using Onyx.īut I have personally been using it on my own personal Mac OS X system since Mac OS X 10.5 and client systems as well and I have never had a negative result when running it.Best Answer: CW, If your iMac has 10.5.8, then you have Mac OS X Leopard. If you are apprehensive about doing this, just start off by cleaning out the “Internet” and “Logs” stuff and see what happens. How much space? Depends on how many cache items need to be purged, but you can definitely notice space being freed up before running Onyx and rebooting compared to the results afterwards. I basically check off pretty much everything in the “System,” “User,” “Internet” and “Logs” categories, have Onyx do it’s thing and then reboot my Mac OS X setup. The part of Onyx I use regularly in situations like this is the “Cleaning” tab. Some hidden parameters of many of Apple’s applications, and more. Miscellaneous tasks of cleaning and system maintenance, to configure The startup disk and the structure of its system files, to run OnyX is a multifunction utility for OS X which you can use to verify The simplest and easiest way to clear up your system when this happens is to run a cleaning tool like Onyx: If space is filling up seemingly randomly, it could be from system caches and logs growing after time. And I am quite positive the Library directory is a part of that “Other” bar/percentage. Dumping all of the “Other” and “Apps” will just render your MacBook Air effectively braindead. That is because even on a clean/virginal system straight out of the box, “Other” and “Apps” will consist of core Mac OS X system items and applications. But for “Other” and “Apps”, this bars/percentages will 100% never be zero or close.And on many systems those “Photos”, “Audio” and “Movies” bars/percentages might be as low as 0%. ![]() For “Photos”, “Audio” and “Movies” that graph is most likely 100% accurate or close to accurate.Thus the image you show where you see space taken up by “Other”, “Apps”, “Photos”, “Audio” and “Movies” is really oversimplifying things. Here is why in a most simple/high-level explanation:Īpple’s goal in Mac OS X and even iOS is to make the system you are using seem as simple as possible. Just blanketly deleting items in “Other” and “Apps” will only cause you more headaches and possibly a dead system. How can I delete the “Other” and “Apps” data I see here? Why? Read on: You cannot randomly expect to cleanup “Other” and “Apps” data as if those directories are unnecessary. It won’t even if you believe you are careful in your assessment of files in that directory. Sorry to be blunt, but you absolutely, positively need to get over the idea you can manually cleanup-or purge-your systems’s Library directory and it will solve the problem. I'd really appreciate info on how to delete this ![]()
