Hi,I have a 2.66 MacBook Pro that seems to be slowing down.I clear history and cache but that is all that I know to do.I know windows but not Mac,This computer doesn't have anything much on it and it doesn't get used much,Is there anything that I should be doing?
Thank You
Bob

run the command below in terminal , it`s the OS-X built in cleaning and optimization software , but if you do not leave you mac on over night it will not ever be run.
Also you can run disk utility to verify your file structure , and do a disk check at the same time.
" sudo periodic daily weekly monthly" do not include the quotes , it will ask for your password , all you will get is a flashing cursor, wait for it to finish, you can google the command if you are worried. -
Thank's for the info,Is this something that I should run or leave the laptop on and pluged in overnight? I don't know much about mac so I don't know hot to run a command,please explain how to do this.

just type terminal into spotlight, the magnifying glass at the top right corner of the screen.
Then once terminal is running type "sudo periodic daily weekly monthly" , and press enter.
To get disk utility , just do the same but type "disk utility"
Just run the above once a week, you dont need to leave your mac running 24/7 -
I've tried the command in terminal but when it ask's for the password it doesnt seem to take anymore than the first digit and when I hit enter the cursor does not flash?
Thank You -

Thank's for all of the help,I did the command above and it is a little faster but still alot slower than when new?Any more ideas?

Maybe it's not your computer but more your internet connection?
You said you emptied history and cache...does that mean only safari is running slow? If it is then check your internet.
