Mac cleaner and magical tips to optimize Mac


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.

Path: Preference files are located here: Macintosh HD / Library / Preferences.

Above are some magical tricks which you should consider for maintaining your Mac performance. These tricks might not help you to get your Mac optimized completely but, it certainly cuts some of your issues. In order to achieve full optimization one should go for tool like Stellar Drive Tool Box. For more details you should click on below mentioned link: http://www.drivetoolbox.com/
