4 things to check if your Mac runs slow

We've collected the best tips for speeding up your Mac in our video below, so make sure you try them all before giving up on your Mac or MacBook - you'll be surprised just how much speed you can gain with a bit of spring cleaning. If you are encountering slow performance, the very first stop should be to empty the Trash. OS X needs some free space to move files around, and typically we advise around 10 percent of your hard drive space, or at least 10GB. Before you even start to examine your disk space, get rid of any unwanted files. Items stored in Trash are taking up valuable disk space, so right-click it and choose Empty Trash Now to purge them from your Mac.

Available space is listed in the status bar you might need to choose Show Status Bar.

If you don't have at least 10GB free, it's time to delete or archive your old files. Good places to look are your Movies, Downloads and Documents folders. DaisyDisk can help you find space-hogging files. Applications tend to take up a lot of space. You can drag apps you no longer use to the Trash or use an app like AppZapper to get rid of them. Creating a backup with Time Machine is a good idea before you start to trash files.

Backing up to a directly connected hard drive is faster than using a drive such as the Time Capsule, which backs up over Wi-Fi. Do you have any thoughts?

I just manually deleted these files from console window every time.

System response got faster due to deletion of cache files and log files which onyx did not catch. The superduper trial requires to delete all files at destination drive every time. Here is where CC trial version came in handy. CC copied the last files quickly. I made the 2nd drive startup disk. It was already made bootable by superduper. It is a very sophistcated job to take out the harddrives and renew them. The way how the mac mini is designed it actually has to become too hot when not in an airconditioned environment.

I just put it up-side-down with the cap removed. CarbonCopy is a much more reliable backup and cloning tool.

I really hope it will make more sense to you the second time around. BTW, this comment was made without malice but as a genuine attempt to correct, what in my view was, a very obvious misunderstanding. Easily one of the better performance articles! I tried to make this post as good as possible. I will add CCleaner as a suggestion because I used that software a lot on Windows machines. It works pretty good and its free. The design of the site is pretty old yes. But the software is up to date and safe to use. This software demands each use, you have to enter in a name and a password.

Then when I added one it said the password was wrong. This is the password for your Mac. Something you should have chosen yourself. If you dont have any password set for your Mac just press enter and it should start. I dragged onyx into my applications folder. Do I need to do anything else to make it run? I am not computer savvy as you can tell.
