Yes, true. there is a nice program called iDefrag if you really want to
defrag. But OSX does some defragmentation automatically.

Hi Ashley,
You are correct; however, if you work with large files or move a lot of data
around, your drive can become fragmented and may require some help.I do not
know about all the different utilities available, but I found Drive Genius at
http://www.prosofteng.com that does a number of things as well as defrag the
drive. Of course the most valuable features of this program is not defragging.

there is little to know defragmenting needed, and the mac doesn't use a
registry. Repair permissions and check the disk using disc utility. Then under
applications in utilities, go into terminal. In the terminal, type this:
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
press enter, type your password, and press enter again. that'll run the mac's
built in maintanance scripts.

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend some free utilities to defragment a hard drive
and clear out registry? Here is how little I know about macs: do they
even use a registry? Does the file system fragment like Windows' ntfs?
I am asking on behalf of a friend who has an older mac with 10.4. TIA.
