Give rapid Speed to Your Slow Mac

Are you encountering a problem of slow Mac? Many Mac users will give an affirmative response to this question. After working over few months, new Mac system appears slower and takes more time to perform even simple operations. There can be a number of possible reasons behind the slowing down of Mac system, including unwanted files, browsing cache, unused applications/widgets/plug-ins etc. Sometimes, external devices plugged to our system make it slower. Lower capacity SSDs are also one of the reasons of slow Mac. Having less space onto startup drive volume and less amount of installed RAM, distract a Mac to perform at its best. If heavy applications like photoshop, 3D games etc. are installed then faster graphics cards are needed to maintain the pace. So, in order to regain the speed of your Mac, you need to use any speedup Mac utility.

Every now and then you install new applications, plug-ins and widgets in your system and most of those installed applications remain unused for a long time. When you browse Internet, for every instance, the system generates many temporary items, caches, log files. Once you close the current browsing instance, these temporary files become useless and the next time, a new set of temporary files are generated. This process goes on, eating up big amount of Mac HD space. If you like, you can find and delete caches manually on regular basis in Home> Library>Cache.

Similarly, when you download/install an application, the software installs language files for different supported languages. But, from a set of languages, you use the software hardly in one or two languages and thus rest of the language files just lie on the system, unused. Moreover, there remain many applications, plug-ins and widgets are no longer used by you.

Also, there are many unnecessary files in the system, such as universal binaries, large unused files, and duplicate files etc, which only fill-up the space of the hard drive and make Mac slow.

Therefore, after using the Mac over few months, the system gathers many unwanted files and applications, which collectively occupy significant amount of hard drive space and decrease the speed.

If you can remove those unwanted files from your system, then the system performance will definitely get improved. But, finding each and every unwanted file from a large hard drive, is a cumbersome job. That is why, these days, you can find many utilities available in the market, which can help optimize Mac.

How to Show/Hide Files in Mac OS X?

Apple includes a way of viewing the hidden files and folders easily in Mac with the help of Terminal (Applications> Utilities> Terminal). It is a usual query, when we download any file or video clip then those files don't show up over desktop to proceed any operation further (play/delete). They are nowhere to be found in the Finder. What is unusual to notice about this query, is that video file is accessible from media player.

Those downloaded files which includes “.” in front of the name are considered "invisible" on Unix-based systems, and will therefore be invisible to a user in the Finder tab also. To locate and make those files visible, enable the ability for the Finder utility.

Step 1: Open Terminal by clicking Applications> Utilities> Terminal or right click on Finder icon in dock and click on Relaunch by holding 'Alt' key simultaneously.
