Q: How can I clear the cache in OS 10.10.2?
Good Afternoon. I am having issues with OS 10.10.2 I have been alerted to upgrade to 10.10.3, but I think I should first try to clear my cache. My machine has been running more slowly than I am used to. It also takes an unusual amount of time for applications to quit or start or for me to change from one user to another (me or my wife). I have also had it lose wi-fi connection a number of times and yet my iPhone 6 does not lose it. I have tried taking the time to quit out of everything, shut down, and restart, but it only makes a difference for a very short time and then the above referenced issues return. I am using:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac11,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i3
Processor Speed: 3.2 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Processor Interconnect Speed: 5.86 GT/s
Boot ROM Version: IM112.0057.B01
SMC Version (system): 1.64f5
I will be grateful for any guidance you can offer. Thank you.
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), Memory: 4 GB 1333MHz DDR3
