Why is My MacBook Running Slow?



There are many reasons why your MacBook can be slow. Many of them have to do with how computers are used. One good way is to upgrade the RAM. OSX uses 512MB of RAM and a nice, if you do a few other tools, you may need 1 or 2 GB of RAM, maybe more. However, before you invest in upgrading the RAM, read the following best practices for increasing the speed of MacBook:

Close unused applications: MacBook takes almost 512 MB of RAM for smooth running OSX alone. Additional programs at the same time will bring the performance down, even if you have 2 GB of RAM.

Restart your computer at regular intervals: Sometimes simply restarting will solve most problems with the performance of

.

Clean Startup Items: Come to the Apple Menu - System Preferences - Accounts - Login Items and remove any applications that do not need at startup. Note: Do not delete everything that is important for your MacBook performance

.

Update your System Preferences settings: If you do not use tools such as Universal Access, Bluetooth, speech recognition, and Internet sharing on a regular basis, keep them off until you need them again. You can do this from your System Preferences window. Turn off unused applications saves a lot of RAM.

Other Update your System Preferences: In the lower pane of your System Preferences window, you will see some general settings that are labeled Other. If you notice any of the settings that you do not care, or to use occasionally, disable or remove the settings from / Library / PreferencePanes folder.

to assess whether you have the latest software: You may use the Intel Mac, but some of your software can be run under the Rosetta translator. Rosetta enables applications that were originally built for the PowerPC processor to run on the Intel chip. If you have to use Rosetta, make sure that applications running on this platform upgrade to the latest available patches. Try App Update widget will help you with this.

Clean irrelevant by: Most software are PowerPC and Intel friendly. To optimize your MacBook to take advantage of the speed of the processor effectively, use a utility like XSlimmer monolingual or remove unnecessary code in your software. This action will get a double benefit,. Applications run faster, and disk space is saved

Note: If you currently use a PowerPC Mac and anticipate possible migration to Intel, you may want to delay running XSlimmer while you make the transition. If not, all the programs that slimmed for PowerPC will run under Rosetta on an Intel Mac, except to install the application again.

Remove unused languages ​​and translations: Your MacBook comes with multi-language localization options. However, it may not be using all of them. Use a monolingual to remove language ability for languages ​​you do not need. Important note: monolingual will also remove all unnecessary architecture from your system, while keeping your applications secure

.

Keep your MacBook cool: Make sure your MacBook's fan is not very hot. Your MacBook will slow down the processor when zagrijava.Uslužni Fan control allows you to change the threshold for turning the MacBook's fan on and off. With a fresh processor, you can increase performance, although this may shorten battery life a bit.

Do you need all those forms? Rate widgets on Mac OS X 10.4.x Dashboard and disable the ones you do not need. Saves you and your RAM and processor power thus

Use the Apple Activity Monitor to optimize processor power: With this tool you can monitor CPU usage and RAM requirements, virtual memory, and see if the application is PowerPC or Intel (Universal) build

Clean up your hard disk:. It will improve your performance greatly MacBook

repair tools running on your hard disk: Onyx, Cocktail and TinkerTool are good opportunities for this task. Running and maintenance and cleaning options in onyx and set up scheduled routine

Buying a new machine will cost a lot of money and will take time and more money to set up. Performance optimization tasks described in this article and my MacBook can only perform as a brand new machine.
