Hi Doug, this popup sounds like a very interesting symptom of avery well known application installed to macs. It sounds like you may have installed or downloaded a product called Clean My Mac or MacKeeper. It's more the later of the two that causes this particular action. I would not advise the use of mac keeper because it is a product that's being exploited on the internet through areas like google's "AdChoices", etc as web plugins to various sites used today. I do have to admit, I don't mind applications being advertised but I don't tolerate sites instructing users to download and install unnecessary software, then to be told upon installation, this is a demo and to pay X amount to the developer. on a legal basis it's known as software / product misrepresentation and they get away with it by the way the product is advertised. not such a help for blind users where details are actually on an image file and not as accessible text. if either Clean My Mac or MacKeeper is installed, remove it by deleting the application, emptying the trash and running a permissions repair. I use OnyX as a complete and ADVANCED system kit which helps clean and keep performance of the mac to it's best. it's worth noting though that there are features that can without correct knowledge, do harm. I do advocate the use of OnyX and I've promised lately that I'd be writing some settings and instructions but you know how it is lol. OnyX is free and worth using. latest build for mountain lion users is 2.7.3 unless otherwise stated on the developer's site. I've used this software for years and it makes working with macs for repairs, tune-ups, etc a real breeze. if you need any help. let me know lew On 1 Oct 2013, at 16:08, Doug Leavens <df.leavens@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > The other day, at boot up, I got a notification advising me to clean up my > machine. > I hit a "cleanup" button, and immediately went back to normal. > > Is there accessible software out there to tune up one of these things? > (macbook pro, in my case)? > > I didn't think macs needed tuning up, but I'm probably wrong on that score. > > Thanks for any advice.************ > > > You are subscribed to the mac4theblind mailing list. > > > The url for this list, where one can unsubscribe or make any changes to > their list subscription is: > > //www.freelists.org/list/mac4theblind > > The list archive is located at > > //www.freelists.org/archive/mac4theblind/ > > All emails intended for the list owner can be sent to: > > john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >
