IMac :: How To Access & Clear Library Cache

Oct 28, 2010

My iMac 24 has been acting just a tiny bit sluggish of late, seeing the pinwheel a few times. All the reading I've gone through suggests two possibilities; overloaded cache or a HDD that's starting to go south. Hmmmm. OK, so exactly how do I get to the so-called "Library Caches" and which folders do I delete. Next, is there a good diagnostic tool that will give me layman's language results that a consumer/user can understand? And lastly, if the HDD is going south and my iMac is long past warranty... can I; (A) replace the HDD myself, and (B) can I upgrade the drive size (currently 500G) to a 1TB drive? My machine currently has 4 Gigs of RAM and I guess that's all it can handle right? Wish I could upgrade that!

I did clear my safari cache and saw a decent pickup in speed.

Ever since I updated OS X to 10.9.3, every time I leave my computer for long enough for it tput the display to sleep, when I come back I find that it has shut down and restarted itself. The one time I caught it in the act, it went to a white screen with the message that the iMac was restarted "due to a problem."

IMac (Intel) :: Right Click Function No Longer Works Running OS X Mavericks 10.9.3

Jul 1, 2014

Using OSX 10.9.3 on my iMac. Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. Fairly new iMac, 21.5 inch, Late 2013. Just now, my right click function on my mouse does not work. I have checked my System Preferences and the right click is checked under secondary click. I did uncheck it, exit System Preferences, and then come in again and re-checked it, but that did no good. 

I did restart my computer last night before I quit for the day because recently I uninstalled Sophos Anti-Virus because it seemed to be caught in a loop that was not finished "cleaning up" but that is only change I have made. Aside from the Sophos acting wonky there were no other issues with the machine last night. 

The right click does not work in all programs, not just Finder. How can I get my right click function to work again?

IMac (Intel) :: Powers Down While Starting In Safe Boot Mode Running OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Sep 9, 2014

My 2014 21" iMac powers itself down after about 10 seconds while trying to startup in safe boot mode. I'm not even sure why it is trying to start in safe boot mode. I shut it down after a power outage while plugged into an APS UPS. I'm guessing that since I interrupted the auto shutdown it is restarting in safe boot mode. Either way, I get a grey screen with a big apple and a progress bar. The progress bar gets to about a tenth full and the power just shuts off. 

I've tried starting up while holding the alt key to select the Macintosh HD. The same thing happens.

OS X Mavericks :: How To Control File Cache Size

Aug 22, 2014

I have a mac mini with 8 gbytes of RAM.  When my wife and I are both logged in (but only one actively, of course),

the memory usage goes up to maximum (7.94gbytes).   Of this, only 2.8gbytes are app memory, with 4 gbytes of file cache. 

This seems ridiculously high.  Is there a way for me to instruct the mac os to use less file cache?

OS X Mavericks :: Activity Monitor File Cache

Aug 20, 2014

In activity monitor it shows that I have 16GB of physical memory, 12.77 GB used memory, 16GB virtual memory.

It also shows App memory 1.9GB, FILE CACHE 9.56GB and wired memory 1.31GB. 

My question is in regards to file cache at 9.56GB.  What is file cache and why is it so high?  Does this mean I should install more memory?  I looked file cache up and I think it's memory that has been used but is not being used currently, it's waiting to be used again.  Not sure if that's right though, or what it really means.

OS X Mavericks :: IMac Running Slower Since Update

Aug 26, 2014

Since upgrading to Mavericks my Mac has been running pretty slow. I run Logic Pro 9 and Ableton 8 music programs on my computer quite often and that's where i notice significant lag. I understand those are heavy programs, but even when Safari is open and I try to open Finder there is lag time before the window actually opens. When I restart my computer, it runs a little better, but as soon as I begin to open other programs, the lag begins and will continue even after I close them.

I upgraded from Snow Leopard and never had any issues- it ran extremely smooth under the most stressful conditions with all the current memory and hard drive space, cpu, etc. I

Mac Pro :: 2XRaid 32GB Cache V.s 3XRaid 16GB Cache?

Mar 22, 2008

I need to populate the bays of my new MacPro 2.66 with 5GB RAM. The stock HD turns out to be a Seagate 250GB HD ST3250820A. I've found them online and wonder if I just should RAID three or four of them as opposed to one Seagate 500GBs or 750 with 32GB cache? These would all be a Raid run by Apple software not a RAID card.

OS X Mavericks :: IMac Running Very Slowly - Takes 45 Minutes To Restart

Sep 11, 2014

Every since I upgraded my OS to 10.9, my performance has been going downhill. Now, even though I have reformatted my hard drive  and have not even put any new data on it, it takes 45 minutes to restart and 25 minutes for me to open the window to write this message. Below is my system info. Why my system seems to have slowed down so much. You can see there is nothing on the hard drive to slow it down.
