My
Mac is running very slow? How to increase my Mac speed? Or What to do
to enhance and optimize Mac performance? These are few common
questions asked by Mac users through forums,comments etc. The problem
is very common among Mac users so, I am not the only one who has gone
through this problem.
I
remember the day, when I had to delivered my report , but its
sluggish behaviour didn't allowed me to do anything. I was unable to
understand the reason of this issue. As I have already tried some
manual tips for optimization of Mac drive. Then I have reset PRAM
recently and ran disk utility tool for fixing permissions. But,
didn't find any rescue for this issue.
One
of my friends who is old to Mac suggest me to either installing any
third party tool that claiming to "speed up", "Mac cleaner",
''optimize mac''
or perform some magical tricks that will revive our Mac to full
speed.
Remove
unnecessary startup/login items:
Turning
off unnecessary startup items helps to speed up Mac performance as it
affects boot up times by using system resources.
So,
to turn off Login items. Open System Preferences, click 'Users &
Groups' then select 'Login items' button. Simply select the
application which you don't want to open with login and remove them
with the 'minus' (-) tab.
Keep
your Mac Organized:
We
can organize our Mac data with Mission Control feature (comes in
replacement of express ) in Mac Lion. It is very easy to organize
open applications and windows on your desktop. In order to add new
desktop to your Mac, click on Mission control icon. But it is quite
confusing to work on many windows together so, it's advisable to
close unused applications, windows on it.
If
you want to close or combine the space, launch Mission Control and
move the cursor at the top of the screen of desktop, after a slight
delay an icon will appear for closing space.
Upgrade
your Hard Disk to SSD
This
won’t be possible for everyone, as it is little expensive. But,
upgrading the hard disk from a traditional spinning disk to a
Solid State Drive (SSD) will give a huge boost to your Mac. It not
only lowers the boot times but, also improves the system
performance.
Disconnect
Unused or rarely used External Drives & Devices:
Some
external drives are extremely slow, and during every reboot they
have to spin up and be accessed again. So, the easiest solution is
to simply disconnect the unused drives and to eject devices which
you aren’t going to be used. This can alone save 10-15 seconds
easily to boot time.
Deleting
Preferences files:
You
should uncheck the Preference files that are not used. As these
files can become corrupt and cause programs or apps to run slowly
or sometimes crash. So, deleting preferences files is necessary
but deleting them can also cause recreation of these files at the
time of re-launch of some applications to which these files are
related.
