WALLYTHECONFUSED Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hi All. I have recently changed from windows to Mac, and so Im familiar with the workings of CC on Windows. However on my Macbook air, I loaded Ccleaner, For Mac, and on the front page, the box that usually says REGISTRY, is missing, and also, as said it refuses to delete cookies. Is there something else I have to do, to delete cookies ? I have a Macbook Air : 6.1 with i5 . 1.5 Ghz . 4Gb Ram. Mavericks osx 10.9.5 . Ccleaner version 1.07.236 Thanks in Advance Wally.

Moderators Nergal Posted February 6, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 6, 2015 Registry is a uniquely Windows OS feature, Mac's do not use registry. For Cookies make sure all browsers are fully exited. This mean not just closing the window, like you do in Windows, but using CMD+Q while the browser is in the foreground to quit. You may find some teaching on switching to Mac here http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201236 ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

translateslowly Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I am a new mac user also but have been using ccleaner for years with windows. Along with VGA free it was all I ever needed. CC was working fine for a long time on my mac till one day it just stalled wouldn't do squat. I tried the check by check method and found two places that were hanging. First one was trash, second was chrome cookies. Also after going check by check I got the "oh snap" from Chrome and Safari got stuck in a loop of crashing and trying to re-open. A reboot solved that and all seems to be working fine now. I'm a little scared to try and wipe the free space. iMac Model Identifier: iMac8,1 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 6 MB Memory: 4 GB Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz Boot ROM Version: IM81.00C1.B00 SMC Version (system): 1.30f1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
