OnyX (Lion) 2.4.4 for Mac User Reviews

• 5.0 stars

  "Did what it claimed."

  January 28, 2012  |   By mybrasfield

  Version: OnyX (Lion) 2.4.3

  Pros

  I am not tech savvy at the moment. My MacBook Pro would not burn DVD because of an error in communication. OnyX Lion was easy to install. The program recommended procedures. Following that advice, among other things, I reset permissions. The problem I acquired the OnyX to solve, was solved.

  Cons

  I did not experience any negative attributes.

  "Download Problem"

  January 8, 2012  |   By Macattacc

  Version: OnyX (Lion) 2.4.3

  Pros

  Wanted to download onyx through CNET with expectation that CNET would be a reliable source.

  Cons

  After download, the only thing that showed up was X11.

  Summary

  So, X11 is on my Mac. There is nothing to indicate that Onyx is installed, unless this is actually the product. Since X11 seems to be an unexpected artifact, I started to look for ways to delete it. Since this is a Mac where file management is basically impossible for an average user, and the purpose of Onyx is to clean up "unwanted" stuff...I am at an impasse. So, for me, no joy!
