Clear the Cache and Cookies... downside? What problems this may create?

I'm having problems of speed, scroll wheel, etc... and didn't "clean" my MacBook Pro 15 "Late 2008 with upgrade of RAM because I do not know how to clean it up." So, I was informed that the cache and cookies from 8 years of use of the compensation would be a good start. Before you do it... What problems it will create? WilI I need to know ALL the passwords and ID to all my sites, I need to prepare and or know that I need to deal with when I do this? Are there other things 'cleansing' can I do to make my MacBook Pro works best? Thank you and God bless you!

Start with these simple steps (after that you made that you have a backup of all your data!):

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

This will put you in Mode without failure, which will be even slower than you used to. Don't worry: after starting over, you can immediately restart in normal mode. In this way, a lot is 'cleaned' automatically.

If it doesn't improve speed, thanks for posting a report of Etrecheck: http://etrecheck.com

    Hey Buddy,

    > Is it necessary to clear cache and cookies from time to time
    Not normally but I do from time to time because a lot of temporary internet files and cookies is stored so I remove to keep my own system ;)

    But it s depending on the browser you are using any Web browser registers its own files internet for what browser you used?
    If you use Internet Explorer, you can delete the files in the control panel > network and internet > internet options.

    If you need more instructions, just after again. ;)

  • How to clear the cache and page reset when you click on tab

    Can stick us to the standard terminology of APEX: do you mean Parent (level 2) tab or the tab Standard (level 2)?

    Parent tabs this is done directly using the box Erase the Cache property and reset pagination for this page of the tab target.

    For the Standard tabs, create processes from before header tab target:

  • Session state > clear Cache...

  • Reset the Pagination

  • I need to clear the cache and the Advanced button is missing!

    As above, but I use PClinuxOS as my operating system.

    If you do not see the Advanced tab in the preferences then look for problems caused by an extension.

  • Bridge CC - ask clear the cache and then freeze it on Mac?

    Having a problem with bridge CC - get the following dialog box when opening of bridge:

    When I purge the cache, bridge just hangs. I left it "purge" for up to 6 hours before leaving power.

    Does anyone have a solution?

    When I purge the cache, bridge just hangs. I left it "purge" for up to 6 hours before leaving power.

    This isn't normal behavior, try first restart Bridge by pressing the option key, and then choose Reset prefs and purge central cache.

    This means that you must reset the custom settings in pref (not a big task if you have tons of defined custom file type associations) and you must recache your files (this takes some time depending on the amount and size of the file)

    If this does not work, you will need to provide more details on what version of bridge that you are using and what version of Mac OS x. how much of RAM you have installed and free disk how much space is left on your system.

    Fafsa.gov site can't stand no more recent than the version of Firefox 3.6.x. It's their choice.

    You can install the version of Firefox Portable for use only on this site and use your current version of Firefox for all the rest. Firefox Portable is not produced by Mozilla (but it is based on the versions of Firefox released) and only is not supported on this site - has its own support forum (see below). Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard disk so that it does not interfere with your currently installed version configuration Firefox or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin/jump drive.

    What are your cookies settings? For example:

    Conservation rules: use the custom settings for history

    {X} accept cookies from sites
    Accept third-party cookies: always
    Keep until: I close Firefox

    Some sites may not work well if you have disabled the 'third party' cookies (I don't remember if Gmail is one of those).

    Have you deleted all existing Google cookies? You can do it from any page search on google.com. Here's how:

    While displaying a page on the site, try either:

    • Right click and select View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".
    • (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > 'view the Cookies '.
    • Click on the globe or padlock icon in the address bar > additional information > "View Cookies".

    In the dialog box that opens, google.com should be filled up automatically and you can delete cookies from the site individually.

    Then try logging into Gmail. Who help me?
