Heya

well i am a first time switcher..LOve the ads by the way..

Anyhow,what crucial maintenance tips do one need to keep my imac tip top?

I have seeing that revolving ball icon and sometimes my imac does not wake from sleep.

Would appreciate if you could post links for the software?

Is Techtool pro,onyx or disk warrior any good?
 
You can do most of the important maintenance tasks in Disk Utility!
Repair your disk permissions from time to time, reset the PRAM if your machine has issues with sleep/wake and other stuff!
You can also run a FSCK from the "Single User Mode" if you want to.

Find tutorials on how top do these things here.
