Applications :: Looking For Freeware Defrag For Mac OSX?

Nov 19, 2009

im looking for a Freeware Bootable Defrag App for Mac OSX 10.6

i know you's are going to say "macs dont need to be defragged" but they do

reason being when you use a mac for around a year or so and seriously load up your hard drive it generates files which cannot be moved. (files over 20mb's) why do i need to move them?

when you are creating a boot camp partition it needs to move files away from the partitioning part of your drive but some files cannot be moved without a full defrag and nothing including repairing the disc or repairing permissions can fix it to move those files even if you boot of the cd.

the only 2 things that can fix it is 1: a defrag or 2: a format

so! anyone know of a freeware bootable defrag for osx because im not up for a format.

Applications :: Using Carbon Copy Cloner To Defrag?

Oct 23, 2010

My Mac Mini is running very slow and its not a RAM problem. But testing iDefrag showed the hard drive needs a defrag. I back up to Carbon Copy Cloner. Would booting to CCC on my external drive, erasing the hard drive through Utilities and then copying the CCC disk image back to the hard drive resolve the problem or just repeat it?

Applications :: Good Freeware XML Editor?

Feb 4, 2008

Does anyone know of a good, free XML editor?

I found an old topic from 2005 about this, but the suggestions either required a purchase or were absolute overkill (like Eclipse.... wow....no).

I would prefer it not to be a Java application, because those are slow and look like poo.

I know that TextEdit can be used, but I'd like one that can at least highlight the tags. It would be nice if it could perform checks, too.

I also tried googling around, but I didn't find what I needed.

OS X :: .m4v To .avi Freeware?

Oct 7, 2010

I am living in South Korea, and have been collecting Korean DVDs for the last year. I'm planning on leaving Korea, and would like to take my collection with me, so I don't have to deal with the region coding issues back home.

I have used Handbrake to rip a couple of my DVDs with subtitles embedded, but I would like to get them into .avi files for easy use with USB ports on DVD players back home.

Is there a way to get Handbrake to rip the DVDs into .avi format? or do I need another program to convert/compress them into .avi? Is there a good freeware program to convert/compress?

Software :: Formatting Hdd Or Defrag?

Dec 30, 2009

I've been advised to format my start up HDD as the data on my HDD is dispersed over such a large area, so I cannot partition my HDD.

I am just wondering the best way to format my HDD, whether it be to use a bootable clone on a separate external HDD, or to format using the start up disk (i.e. as restarting the computer pressing c, and going on from there on?) and having a back up on time machine, and restoring after. As these are backups, this means everything will be exactly the same doesn't it? As I have been advised to do this to make the area smaller that they cover, wont it be exactly the same?

OS X :: Defrag Files For World Of Warcraft?

Nov 30, 2008

Since I got my Macbook Pro back in June, boot times and loading times of apps seems to of gotten longer. I ran iDefrag to see what was going on and the most fragged file was lichking.MPQ which, as most of you may know, is the new World of Warcraft expansion. it is a large file (2.4gb).

iDefrag reported my HDD being 28% fragmented.

My question is, should or do I need to defrag? It has been asked a 1,000,000 times I know but I just can't seem to get a simple yes or no answer anywhere.

Some people say yes, some say no and some say defragging my mac caused a hard drive failure etc..

Mac Pro :: Do G5 Get Viruses / Any Way To Defrag Hard Drive?

Feb 17, 2010

I am pretty sure the answer to this is no, but my email was hack last night, and I have yet to retrieve it. I hate hotmail. This has happened once before a very long time ago, when I was in Junior high. The powermac i have is a used g5 but has all of his data in it, and he didn't care to reformat it for me. Is it better to wipe it and start over or try to run applejack and defrag the hard drive? Also how can I check to see if the programs are legal are not?
