How to Return Your Mac to Its Old Snappy State

Mac undoubtedly is a fancy, advance, and stalwart Operating System (OS), but over a period of time, it too loses its performance. Many of you suffer from performance blues of your Mac and want ways to get it back to its old snappy state. To prevent Mac from getting sluggish and slow with time, you need to observe some precautions, which are:

• Keep an Eye on Login Items: Many installed applications add themselves in startup items automatically without giving any notification, which causes slow startup. Therefore, it is recommended to keep an eye on the login or startup items of your machine. You can find login items at ‘System Preferences>>User & Groups’, and then select the tab indicating ‘Login Items’ to see this list. Uncheck all the applications, which you do not need while system boot.

• Do not Open too Many Tabs on Web Browsers at a Time: It is a common habit of many of us that we open too many web browsers tabs at a time. Large number of web browsers as well as too many tabs slows down various internet activities that you are trying to perform. Therefore, it is suggested to open only useful web browsers and concerned tabs at a time.

• Restart our Machine Frequently: Mac users have a habit to keep their machine in sleep, hibernation, or safe sleep state instead of shutting it down. However, this too many times slows down the performance of your Mac. Therefore, it is suggested to restart your Mac frequently to maintain its fast performance.

• Use ‘Disk Utility’ to Check your Hard Drive for Errors: Presence of some small errors in hard drive and drive permissions also slows down your Mac. Therefore, it is recommended to check your hard drive regularly for errors with the help of Mac’s built-in utility i.e. ‘Disk Utility’. The location of ‘Disk Utility’ is ‘Applications>>Utilities>>Disk Utility’. However, the ‘Disk Utility’ may take some time to check your hard drive; moreover, you have to stop all other running applications while using it.

• Perform Regular Clean up of your Hard Drive: Two major causes of sluggish and slow Mac are cluttered hard drive and heavily filled cache. Therefore, removing unused applications, unrequited plug-ins, unnecessary widgets, and over filled cache items clear up large space on your hard drive and can get its performance back. You can delete all unused items manually, but practically it is not possible to clear out every unrequited thing by yourself and that too on regular basis. Therefore, it is recommended to use a professional clean my Mac tool.

A professional tool for this category uninstalls all unwanted applications completely from your Mac, removes junk files, plug-ins, widgets, and all leftovers and thus speed ups your Mac.
