Q: Do I need to do any maintainance?

In the past I understood that if you put your mac to sleep at night you needed to initiate some maintenance steps since they did not automatically run which included some daily, weekly, monthly items as well as Repair Disk permissions. The latest discussion states or implies I don't need to do that anymore. Does that include when the computer is put asleep every night? What has changed if I no longer need to do that.

 

I was at my daughter's last night. She has had a macBook Pro for about a year and half. I ran Repair Disk Permissions out of curiosity and got a huge listing of repairs. If disk repair needs to be done periodically I don't think hers is doing it! Does her computer not need to do this. If not why is that app to do it there?

 

Many thanks
