OnyX, Carbon Copy Cloner, AppDelete and TrashMe and FindAnyFile. Hopefully this fix my problems however a program is reporting that i have 384 of bad blocks on my ssd any insight would be great I would recommend following the guid to enable trim online i think its 3.2.6 trim enablerĪlso disable the sudden motion sensor that way the computer isn't sending weird commands to the ssdĪnd third i disabled hibernation and made it so the disk are never put to sleep So basically i think that some important file got hosed along with the whole file system With a deep scan i saw as much as 179 gb of data but was not able to recover nor did i care to much to revcover it since i had already gotten about 11 gb of data i had written early on or at the middle of the ssd so thats why i got lucky and still had pics and docsĪs for other recent documents anything not backed up via iCloud is toast and anything thats new on the yosemite is gone to so basically i got lucky Hah wish you posted this a few days ago it coulda been useful as my mac suffered a bad crash from running with a solid state drive and yosemiteįrom what i think happened is i had a solid state drive and i love downloading files via torrent well it seems i filled my ssd and had like 5 gb left and proceeded to burn data and then delete files and replace them with new ones seems like i filled the ssd so full it crashed and i lost everything but a file i had made thank god i saved my pictures and about 75% of my documents Just be warned that with great power comes great responsibility: You can really screw things up if you don't know what you're doing. You have control over a wide variety of parameters for QuickTime, Safari, iTunes, your login window and more. You can automate the rebuilding of your Mail mailboxes, Spotlight index and more. OnyX comes in handy when it comes to the deletion of Internet cache files that can screw things up, like DNS and browser caches, or individual system cache files, OnyX is a godsend.

This free utility gives you access to a huge variety of system maintenance, performance optimization and customization features by adding a graphical user interface to commands that you'd otherwise need to know Unix to be able to do anything with.

That's where Titanium Software's OnyX comes into play.

But unless you know what you're doing it's really easy to get frustrated. Because OS X is a Unix-based operating system, you can do a lot more under the hood when you're accessing the operating system from a command line using the Terminal program.
