Mac电脑以高速性能着称,不仅在启动时,而且在日常操作中也是如此。然而,与任何机器一样,Mac(Macs)会因各种不同的原因而随着时间的推移而变慢。
无论您购买的Mac速度不如您想要的那样快,或者您自己的Mac没有以前那么快,您都可以采取一些步骤来加快Mac计算机的速度。您可以为使用良好的Mac(Mac)注入新的活力。
如何让你的 Mac 更快(How to Make Your Mac Faster)
如果您的Mac不像以前那样运行得那么快,请尝试这些修复程序之一。
1.清理存储空间(Clear Storage Space)
如果您的Mac 内存(Mac’s memory)快满了,它就会开始变慢。原因是操作系统没有必要的空间来执行它需要的操作。将(Move)不再需要的文件移动到外部驱动器或从Mac中删除它们。
请记住(Remember)在删除文件后清空垃圾箱(Trash Bin),否则它们将保留 30 天(remain there for 30 days)并继续降低您的机器速度。最好在您的计算机上保留至少 5 GB 的可用存储空间以防止速度变慢。
不确定还有多少存储空间?单击右上角(Click)的Apple符号并选择关于本机(About This Mac),然后单击存储(Storage)选项卡以查看您还剩下多少空间。单击管理(Manage)以查看驱动器的细分以及哪些部分使用的内存最多。
2.重启你的电脑(Restart Your Computer)
这听起来可能很愚蠢,但重新启动计算机会关闭后台的所有程序和应用程序。如果您不定期重新启动Mac(并且无法关闭应用程序),您可能会发现程序在您不知道的后台运行。
通过重新启动系统,您可以关闭所有这些应用程序并释放可以在其他地方使用的RAM 。虽然您不必每天都关机,但最好每三四天至少执行一次完全重启以加快Mac的运行速度。
3.检查活动监视器(Check the Activity Monitor)
您的CPU对计算机的速度起着重要作用。如果它的操作由其他任务主导,那么您的系统可能会慢到爬行。重新启动将解决大多数这些问题,但如果您正在执行一项任务并且无法重新启动(例如,渲染视频),您可以检查活动监视器(Activity Monitor)以了解是什么占用了您的系统。
访问它的最简单方法是打开Spotlight并搜索Activity Monitor。查找显示% CPU 的列,然后单击它以按使用情况排序。如果一个任务占用你的CPU(CPU)超过 10% ,考虑它是否需要继续运行。当然,任何与操作系统相关的任务都可以获得免费通行证——如WindowServer或 kernel_task。
4.删除不必要的应用程序(Remove Unnecessary Apps)
正如过多的文件和文档会降低您的计算机速度一样,未使用的应用程序也会如此。花点时间查看您的应用程序并删除任何您不使用或不认识的程序。
打开Finder > Applications。单击菜单中的齿轮图标,然后选择Sort By > Date Last Opened。这将使您更容易对自上次使用应用程序以来的时间进行排序。任何你一年多没有接触过的东西——或者你不认识的东西——都应该(should be removed)从你的系统中删除。
5.更新你的操作系统(Update Your OS)
MacOS更新对于提高计算机性能至关重要。如果您最近没有执行更新,您可能会过期进行新的操作系统更新(overdue for a new OS update)。更新可以修复系统中的错误、修补安全漏洞等等。
要检查更新,请打开Settings > Software Update并检查任何可用的更新。如果有任何可用,请单击立即升级。(Upgrade Now. )确保您有足够的可用内存来执行更新。最多可能需要一个小时,之后您的系统将重新启动。
6.清除缓存(Clear Your Cache)
Mac(Macs)在标准操作期间如此快速的原因之一是系统如何利用缓存。这些缓存存储可以快速检索(caches store data that can be quickly retrieved)和重用的数据。这些缓存会占用大量内存,但可以安全地删除。它们会在需要时重建。
要删除缓存,请打开Finder,然后单击Go > Go To Folder 并键入 ~/Library/Caches。点击Go。这将打开一个充满缓存的文件夹。单击齿轮图标,然后单击Sort By > Size以查看最大的文件夹,然后考虑是否需要它们。
另一种选择是使用CleanMyMac 之(CleanMyMac)类的清理工具来执行这些相同的任务并加速您的Mac。
7.关闭视觉效果(Turn Off Visual Effects)
MacOS的各种效果使其易于使用,但它们可能会影响您机器的运行,尤其是在您的Mac较旧的情况下。好消息是您可以关闭这些效果来提高Mac的性能。
打开System Preferences > Accessibility > Display. 从这里开始,有多种选择。单击减少运动。(Reduce motion. )此选项将减少一些特殊的视觉效果并加快计算机的处理速度。
这七个技巧可以提高你的Mac的操作和效率,以及它的整体速度。如果您发现您的系统不像以前那么快,请尝试其中的一些技巧来进行调整。
7 Ways to Speed Up Your Mac Computer
Mac computеrs have a reputation for high-speed performance, not only υpоn startup but also in day-to-day operation. Like any machine, however, Macs can slow down over time for a variety of different reasons.
Whether you bought a used Mac that isn’t as fast as you’d like or your own Mac just isn’t as fast as it once was, there are steps you can take to speed up a Mac computer. You can breathe new life into a well-used Mac.
How to Make Your Mac Faster
If your Mac doesn’t run as fast as it once did, try out one of these fixes.
1. Clear Storage Space
If your Mac’s memory is almost full, it begins to slow down. The reason is because the OS doesn’t have the necessary space to perform the operations it needs. Move files you no longer need to an external drive or delete them from your Mac.
Remember to empty the Trash Bin after you have deleted the files, otherwise they will remain there for 30 days and continue to slow down your machine. It’s a good idea to keep at least 5 GB of storage space available on your machine to prevent slowdowns.
Not sure how much storage remains? Click the Apple symbol in the top right and choose About This Mac and then click the Storage tab to see exactly how much space you have left. Click Manage to see a breakdown of your drive and what sections use the most memory.
2. Restart Your Computer
It might sound silly, but restarting a computer shuts down all programs and applications in the background. If you don’t restart your Mac on a regular basis (and you fail to shut down applications) you might find that programs run in the background you aren’t aware of.
By restarting your system, you shut down all of these applications and free up RAM that can be put to use elsewhere. While you don’t have to shut down every day, it’s a good idea to at least perform a full restart once every three or four days to speed up your Mac.
3. Check the Activity Monitor
Your CPU plays a major role in the speed of your computer. If its operations are dominated by other tasks, then your system can slow to a crawl. A restart will fix most of these problems, but if you’re in the middle of a task and you can’t restart–for example, rendering a video–you can check the Activity Monitor for what is hogging your system.
The easiest way to access it is to pull up Spotlight and search Activity Monitor. Look for the column that says % CPU and click it to sort by usage. If a task takes more than 10% of your CPU, consider whether it needs to continue running. Of course, any OS-related tasks get a free pass–like WindowServer or kernel_task.
4. Remove Unnecessary Apps
Just as too many files and documents can slow down your machine, so can unused apps. Take the time to look through your Applications and remove any programs you do not use or recognize.
Open Finder > Applications. Click the gear icon in the menu and choose Sort By > Date Last Opened. This will make it easier to sort how long it’s been since you last used an application. Any that you haven’t touched in more than a year—or any you don’t recognize – should be removed from your system.
5. Update Your OS
MacOS updates are essential to improving the performance of your computer. If you have not performed an update recently, you might be overdue for a new OS update. Updates can fix bugs in the system, patch security flaws, and much more.
To check for updates, open Settings > Software Update and check for any available updates. If any are available, click Upgrade Now. Ensure you have enough memory available to perform the update. It can take up to an hour, after which your system will restart.
6. Clear Your Cache
One of the reasons Macs are so fast during standard operations is due to how the system utilizes caches. These caches store data that can be quickly retrieved and re-used. These caches can take up a huge amount of memory, but can be safely deleted. They are rebuilt when needed.
To delete your cache, open Finder and then click Go > Go To Folder and type ~/Library/Caches. Hit Go. This will bring up a folder full of caches. Click the gear icon and click Sort By > Size to see which folders are the largest, and then consider whether they are necessary or not.
Another option is to use a clean-up tool like CleanMyMac to perform these same tasks and speed up your Mac.
7. Turn Off Visual Effects
MacOS is packed with effects that make it nice to use, but they can impact the operation of your machine–especially if your Mac is older. The good news is that you can turn off these effects to improve your Mac’s performance.
Open System Preferences > Accessibility > Display. From here, there are multiple options. Click Reduce motion. This option will reduce some of the special visual effects and speed up the process of the computer.
These seven tricks can improve the operation and efficiency of your Mac, as well as its overall speed. If you find your system just isn’t as fast as it once was, try some of these tricks to give it a tuneup.
