Do Macs have to have the registery cleaned, HDD defraged etc... Just like windows?

0	I inherited a mac laptop and was just wondering what kind of maintenance stuff you have to do to macs to keep them in top shape. mac maintenance defrag registery clean fast performance laptop apple asked Jun 09 '10 at 15:24 sulljason 2.4k●110●126●156

One Answer:

Macs don't have registries, so no on that.
Macs do have drive fragmentation, but I believe that's always been done in the background. Windows just figured that out.
