1. Summary - In case of trouble
Symptoms you should be aware of if your Mac is slow or heavy.
Macs may slow down due to various reasons, but you need to be careful when the following symptoms appear.
Window not responding
take a long time to load
Consider optimizing your Mac when you experience 1 or 2 symptoms.
*Not only Apple devices such as MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, MacBook, and iMac, but personal computers tend to slow down as they age.
重 If you do more than one heavy task at the same time, the Mac will slow down until you feel it is slow.In such cases, reduce the number of tasks you want to perform.
Example of why Macs Are Slowing Up
The following are possible reasons for the slow operation of the Mac:
Cause 1. Increase in the number of apps and increase in usage
Cause 2. Increase in data volume of data
Cause 3. Memory compression
Cause 4. Less free space in internal HDD or SSD
Cause 5. Overuse of CPU
Cause 6. Increased memory usage
The latest browsers use a lot of memory, which often puts a lot of pressure on the CPU.Also, the number of apps and the amount of data they use are increasing year by year.Memory is finite, but as new tools and apps grow, most of the memory is used and capacity is often squeezed.Also, if you store large-capacity items such as videos and photos on a HDD or SSD that is built into your computer, the drive itself will be full, leading to symptoms such as slow or heavy Mac operation.
A solution that can be tried immediately when the Mac is slow or heavy.
If you think your Mac is slow, try the following solution first.Here are some simple solutions.
restart one′s computer
Update MacOS to the Latest
organize one′s desktop
Join and close windows
Turn off the Bluetooth function
delete the browser cache
turn off the notification function
1. Restart the PC
If you experience problems such as slow operation, unstable operation, app won′t open even if you wait, screen freezes, etc., try restarting your computer.Precision devices such as personal computers often cause problems due to electrification.If you continue to power on without shutting down or using it, you will often experience poor operation and poor performance.In such cases, you can expect to improve the situation by restarting your Mac.However, restarting or turning off the power is also a burden on the equipment, so you should avoid repeated attempts.As a result of repeating what you can do easily, you often end up in an irreversible situation.
*If you use Mac frequently, use sleep mode instead of shutdown.Using sleep mode rather than shutting down can reduce the load on the PC and prevent the battery from deteriorating.
↓ If your Mac freezes, please try this method as well.

What to do when a Mac freezes or hardens?
https://www.adte.jp/rec/hdd/post-1483/
Have you ever experienced a screen freeze while using your Mac?I′m worried if my Mac is hardened and I can′t move.If you shut down the Mac immediately in a hurry, the Mac itself may be broken.The Mac has a stable operating system and is not unstable, but you should be careful when it freezes frequently.Here are some of the causes and countermeasures for Mac freezing and hardening.
2. Update MacOS to the latest version
OS stands for Operating System, which is essential for running a PC.The operating systems of personal computers are broadly divided into MacOS and Windows.The OS is frequently updated, but if you don′t have the latest version of the OS on your computer, it can cause problems such as slow operation.Let′s check if the operating system is up to date in case of any trouble.OS updates are necessary not only to improve PC performance and add new features, but also to prevent malicious attacks from the Internet environment.
*In addition to MacOS, OS updates may take more than an hour, so let′s do it when the work and work are done.
·How do I update my MacOS to speed up my PC?
①Apple Menu → Select About This Mac
②Select Software Update
③Update the software when a newer version of the operating system is available
*If there is a problem with the Mac after updating the OS, it is possible that the permission to access the disk was damaged, leading to a problem.For those who need the data in the Mac, those who are important, or those who feel that they will be in trouble if they run out of it, let′s give priority to consulting a professional restoration company without unnecessary operations.
3. Organize your desktop
After the Mac and other PCs boot up, the OS is up, and after the OS is up, the data on the desktop is ready to be displayed.By any chance, storing many folders and files on the desktop puts a lot of strain on the PC startup process, leading to symptoms such as slow Mac operation and heavy speed.If you have many files on your desktop, you should prioritize organizing them.Fewer files and folders from the desktop often improve the situation.Also, if you often store data on your desktop, try not to place files or folders as much as possible.
4. Combine and close windows
Using Finder is a heavy memory burden and requires careful attention.Unlike Windows, Mac Finder windows often overlap and remain in the background.This applies to many apps such as email, calendar, Word, Excel, and preview.As a result, dozens of windows may remain open and continue to be used.If the window is opened too much, the memory will be heavily loaded, so you can expect to improve the situation by combining windows and closing them.
·If you want to combine windows
①In the top bar of the screen, click Window Menu → Finder
②Click on a window
③Click Combine All Window
The windows that were scattered and opened in the above way are gathered together, making it easier to close them individually.Minimizing window deployment can also help prevent overuse of memory.
5. Turn off the Bluetooth function
The Mac has Bluetooth functionality, and even if you don′t have a Bluetooth-connected device (mouse, music device, smartphone), you′ll have to use the resources of your PC if you turn on the Bluetooth function.The ON/OFF setting is easy to switch, so turn off the Bluetooth function when you are not using the peripheral device you use with Bluetooth.In order to improve the operating environment of the Mac, it is better to turn it on only when you want to use the Bluetooth function.
6.Delete browser cache
Browsers such as Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox continue to accumulate cache.Caching is the storage of data and images when you access a web page, and if you have a cache, the page will open immediately when you open the same web page again.If you don′t manually delete (clear) the cache, it will continue to accumulate, so if you feel that the Mac is heavy or slow, you can expect to improve the problem by deleting the cache.
7. Turn off the notification function
The notification function refers to what is displayed when any notification or update is received from the app.For example, when LINE is open on a Mac, when a message arrives, a notification tone and a banner informing the sender (who it came from) will be displayed in a pop-up.Thus, application notifications are always waiting in the background of the PC, which temporarily puts a load on the memory to record information and the CPU to process the PC.It′s better to minimize notifications from applications because it can slow down Macs when memory and CPU are overloaded.Try to turn off the notification settings when you don′t use a specific application.
What to do if your Mac is slow or heavy?1
If you have tried ′A solution that can be tried immediately when your Mac is slow or heavy′ but you do not expect the situation to improve, you may be able to solve the problem by trying the following solutions:Determine Drive Capacity and Health
iCloud utilization and storage optimization
manage and restrict login items
when there are too many apps running in the background
delete unnecessary files and folders
Consider replacing internal drives when they are older
When you have a lot of pictures and video files,
Dangerous when you touch a Mac and feel hot
When there are many apps that you don′t use,
If you have a lot of unnecessary things in your browser,
1. Check drive capacity and condition
The main reason why Macs slow down is because of the high internal drive usage drive.If we can reduce the load on the computer, we can expect to improve the operating speed.
·How do I improve the speed of the drive?
①Remove old video files, etc. with large data capacity
②Search and organize unnecessary files on your Mac
③Desktop Organization
④Cleaning the Drive
① ~ to は are easy to do manually, but if the usage rate is high as the free space becomes tight, it often takes time to organize and delete them.
ドライブ If you want to clean your drive, you can also choose to use software for cleaning.You can delete unnecessary files such as language packages, caches, logs, etc., which can improve operational efficiency, but if you use the software when the drive is about to break, it often causes the drive to fail completely.
·Procedure to clean the drive using software
①find and download software for cleaning software
②After installing the app, start it.
③Click System Junk → Click Scan
④Press the Clean button after the scan is complete → Delete
·How to check if there are any abnormalities in the drive
It may also slow down if the drive you are using on your Mac (internal HDD/SSD, external HDD, CD/DVD drive, etc.).One solution on the Mac is to start the Disk Utility application and select the drive you want to check and scan it because you can check the status of your drive by using the Scan feature Disk Utility.Any abnormalities found in the drive will require data recovery, repair, or replacement of the drive.
↓ If you want to recover data from your Mac, please refer to this as well.

When using Mac′s PC, the data you created disappeared, deleted the file by mistake, spilled drinks such as water and alcohol, and the MacBook lost power, and suddenly froze, so some of you might be in a hurry or in trouble.Here are some data recovery and recovery methods that you can try in the event of symptoms or problems with your Mac, as well as ways and measures to prevent data loss.
2. Utilize iCloud and optimize storage
Optimizing Mac storage is also important when your drive is full.You can also find the right management method for your Macs.
·How to proceed with storage optimization
①Click on Apple menu → Select About This Mac
②Select Storage tab → Click Manage
③Some Recommendations Appear in New Window
It is also an effective way to transfer files, folders, and other data to iCloud to free up space.
·How to use iCloud
①Click Save to iCloud
②Select the file you want to save to iCloud storage
Removing large files, such as Apple TV shows and movies, can help optimize storage optimization.If you want to prevent trash cans from being filled with old files or folders, you can also set the ′Automatically Empty Trash′ setting.*If you want to avoid the risk of accidentally putting important data in the trash can, please do not set this setting.
3. Manage and restrict login items
One solution is to limit the number of applications that require login as much as possible.The more applications you need to log in to, the more likely your PC will experience problems such as slow or heavy Mac operation.
·When you want to check the login status of the application
①Click User Name under System Preferences → Users and Groups
②Click the Login Items tab to confirm.
If a large number of applications are displayed on the login item screen, consider deleting applications that are unnecessary or unnecessary at startup.′Login Items′ → Select Application Name → Click ′′-mark′′ below the list → The selected application will be deleted.′
アプリケーション Large applications may adversely affect system resource consumption.
リストThe fewer applications on the list, the faster Mac works.
4. When there are too many apps running in the background
If there are too many apps and tasks running in the background, your Mac may slow down and not even be able to do simple tasks.
·How to end an application or task
You can use Activity Monitor to understand which processes are consuming system resources.If you have an application that uses a lot of Mac processing power, you can expect to improve the operating speed by closing the application.
①Application folder → Open Utility folder
②Open Activity Monitor → A list of apps and processes running on a Mac
③Click the Memory tab at the top of the screen → Select Memory Filter at the top of the list
④sort programs running on a Mac′s RAM
⑤Larger numbers = higher consumption
⑥Click the app you want to stop working from the list
⑦Click the x icon in the upper left corner of the window.
⑧The selected application stops working
知らない Be careful not to delete apps you don′t know or things you don′t understand easily.
5. Delete unnecessary files and folders
By erasing unnecessary files and folders other than deleting and stopping unnecessary applications, you can improve the speed of your Mac and PC.Data such as files and folders are often stored on the hard drive or SSD that is built into the Mac.If the capacity of the HDD or SSD is full or there is no free space, the operation of the PC will become unstable, which will adversely affect the operation of the application.In addition to storing data when a Mac has an internal SSD, it also acts as a virtual memory in the event of insufficient memory, and it is important to have enough free space in the drive to run the memory properly.
6. Consider replacing the internal drive when it is old
If your Mac′s internal drive gets too old, processing and operating speed may drop dramatically.The solution is to replace the drive itself.When using a Mac for a long period of time, it is also important to stop operating or working when you are in trouble, as various problems may occur, such as suddenly turning off the computer and restarting it repeatedly.If you keep using it as it is, the condition may become serious.
↓ If your Mac doesn′t turn on, please try this method as well.

I often panic when I suddenly have trouble with my Mac not starting or turning on the power.There are various causes of symptoms such as Mac not starting and not turning on.The screen is black and won′t boot. The Apple mark appears, but the operating system is not working.
·Upgrade the drive if you are familiar with the operation of the computer.
Consider upgrading the drive itself if you suspect aging, such as using a Mac for a long time.However, opening a Mac outside of a clean room is risky.Also, if you take apart a PC such as a Mac by yourself, you may not be covered by the manufacturer′s warranty, so you need to be careful.
*Depending on the Mac model, there are many items that cannot be customized by individuals.
*If you want to replace the SSD, you should consider adding RAM.
パソコン If the specifications of the PC itself are low, adding more memory is also a consideration.
7. When the amount of photos and video files is large
Photos and video files are accumulating more and more.I don′t really care about the number of photos and videos that have been accumulated over the years, but I use more capacity than I expected for photos and videos.As a result, tightening the drive capacity often leads to poor Mac operation and speed delays.
·One solution is to move to external media when the amount of files is large.
Consider moving to an external hard drive, SSD, Google Drive, DropBox, etc. when you have accumulated photos or video files.
①Close the photo app
②Finder → Open External Media → Select a New Storage
③Open a new Finder window → Find a photo library
④Copy files and folders to a new location and then delete the original data
ファイル Rather than moving the files and folders, copy them and delete them.If your computer freezes or malfunctions occur while you′re on the move, you may lose important data.
8. Dangerous when touching a Mac and feeling hot
If you use a Mac for a long time, open applications too much, or use a lot of browsers, the Mac itself gets hot and often causes malfunction.When a computer gets hot, it often breaks down.If you keep using it, you may end up in an irreversible situation, so it is important to use it so that it doesn′t get hot.

·How to restore disk access rights
In the case of macOS, it is possible to use the disk utility to deal with damaged or conflicting access rights.
①Disk Utility → Select Boot Disk
②Click the First Aid button → Click the Run button → Press Continue
③Mac scans disk drives → finds permissions and makes corrections
*If you follow this procedure, your Mac should be able to find the files you need immediately when you open the application.
8. Attempt to free RAM if memory is low (advanced)
RAM stands for Random Access Memory, which is essential for using devices such as personal computers and smartphones, and refers to main memory.You should be careful when you see an error message such as ′The system is running out of application memory.′The solution is to increase RAM capacity physically, but it is not easy to deal with because of the costly and time-consuming tasks.There is a way to try it in such a case, but for those who are used to using a computer, if you feel a little uneasy or worried about using it, stop and consult with a professional.
·How to release RAM using the terminal
①Open Applications → Utilities → Terminal
②Paste the command ′sudo purge′ into the terminal
③Enter password for verification
④result is displayed
システム If a new memory is needed immediately on the system, it is expected that the available RAM will be released by performing the above operation.
9. Use the terminal even when the Mac is slow to boot (advanced)
The Mac will automatically move to standby mode to save energy after a while.However, when you press the keyboard to resume work, it doesn′t start and the screen remains black, which can often cause problems.By using the terminal, it is possible to prevent problems such as complete sleep or not starting the Mac, and to speed up the startup.
·How to change the time to enter standby mode using the terminal
①open a terminal application
②Paste the command ′sudo pmset-a standbydelay 86400′ into the terminal
③Enter system password for verification
元 Change the command number to 10800 when you want to restore it to its original state.
コマンド If you have any resistance to how to deal with the command, you should avoid using it forcefully.
10. When there is a large amount of old data such as cache and download files
There are places where data keeps accumulating on any Mac.There are two locations: Cache and Download Folder.Caching or accumulating unused files will run out of space on your drive, which will slow down your computer′s performance.
·How to clear cache and download folders
There are many types of cache files, such as cache system cache generated by user cache applications.User caches tied to user accounts account for a large number of unnecessary data in the Mac, and are said to be around 70% of the time.To manually delete the cache, follow these steps:
·Procedure to delete user cache
①Open Finder Window → Go to menu bar → Go to folder
②Enter ~/Library/Caches → Click Move
③Select a folder for each cache → Delete its contents → Then empty the trash can
フォルダ Be careful not to delete the folder itself.
·Procedure to delete the system cache
①Open Finder Window → Go to menu bar → Go to folder
②Type /Library/Caches → Click Move
③Find the main cache folder → Open subfolder → Delete all stored cache files
やりThe method is almost the same.②The character input part of the is slightly different.
システム Because there are concerns about conflicts with cache folders when deleting the system cache, it is recommended that you back up the cache folder before you perform any operations.
·How to clear the download folder
①Go to Download Folder → Sort files by size
②Find the ′.DMG′ file in the download file
③Move media files to iCloud
④Move files and folders to external media such as external hard drives
⑤Delete duplicate folders and files
インターネット When I use the Internet, I have many opportunities to download various files from the Internet.The downloaded files are stored in the download folder, but many files accumulate without realizing it, often squeezing memory.As time goes by, old images and PDF files are often forgotten, and download folders should be regularly organized.
Things I want to be careful about on a daily basis so that my Mac doesn′t get heavy.
Depending on how you use your Mac, you can avoid symptoms such as heavy operation.
regularly empty the trash can
Perform frequent system updates
charge when the battery runs low
run disk utilities regularly
1. Empty the trash can regularly
Even if you put unnecessary files and folders in the trash can, if they remain in the trash can, the memory in the Mac will be consumed.Therefore, it is necessary to ′empty the trash can′ in order to increase the free space of the Mac′s memory.If you empty the trash can, the data will be erased from the Mac and free up memory space.However, you often realize that you have erased the files and folders you need after emptying the trash can.If you accidentally delete the data, do not continue to operate on your Mac.Data can be overwritten and difficult to recover just by continuing to power on, turning off, or rebooting.When you are in trouble, you should stop and consult a professional restoration company.

Many of you may be in trouble because you accidentally emptied the trash can while using your Mac, deleted the data from the trash can, and later realized that it was data that should not be put in the trash can.I deleted the data in the Mac trash can here.
2. Update the system frequently.
Make sure that your applications, not just MacOS, are updated to the latest version.The older version of the system often leads to malfunction.OS updates are also necessary for security purposes, as described above.OS and application versions should be updated frequently to improve performance and take security measures.
3. Charge when the battery is low
In the case of a laptop, be careful not to let the battery deteriorate.The more you use the battery, the worse it gets.The battery will deteriorate faster if you use it while charging your computer or keep charging even if the battery is full.Depending on how you charge it, you can slow down the deterioration speed, so try to charge it as much as possible when the battery runs out.It is said that Macs are not prone to malfunctions, but one day they suddenly become unable to charge and cause problems such as not starting.If you keep energizing without charging or starting, you will often end up in an irreversible situation.For those who value personal computers or those who value data on their Macs, let′s prioritize consulting with professionals.
↓ If your Mac cannot be charged, please try this method as well.

1. Summary - In case of trouble
Symptoms you should be aware of if your Mac is slow or heavy.
Macs may slow down due to various reasons, but you need to be careful when the following symptoms appear.
Window not responding
take a long time to load
Consider optimizing your Mac when you experience 1 or 2 symptoms.
*Not only Apple devices such as MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, MacBook, and iMac, but personal computers tend to slow down as they age.
重 If you do more than one heavy task at the same time, the Mac will slow down until you feel it is slow.In such cases, reduce the number of tasks you want to perform.
Example of why Macs Are Slowing Up
The following are possible reasons for the slow operation of the Mac:
Cause 1. Increase in the number of apps and increase in usage
Cause 2. Increase in data volume of data
Cause 3. Memory compression
Cause 4. Less free space in internal HDD or SSD
Cause 5. Overuse of CPU
Cause 6. Increased memory usage
The latest browsers use a lot of memory, which often puts a lot of pressure on the CPU.Also, the number of apps and the amount of data they use are increasing year by year.Memory is finite, but as new tools and apps grow, most of the memory is used and capacity is often squeezed.Also, if you store large-capacity items such as videos and photos on a HDD or SSD that is built into your computer, the drive itself will be full, leading to symptoms such as slow or heavy Mac operation.
A solution that can be tried immediately when the Mac is slow or heavy.
If you think your Mac is slow, try the following solution first.Here are some simple solutions.
restart one′s computer
Update MacOS to the Latest
organize one′s desktop
Join and close windows
Turn off the Bluetooth function
delete the browser cache
turn off the notification function
1. Restart the PC
If you experience problems such as slow operation, unstable operation, app won′t open even if you wait, screen freezes, etc., try restarting your computer.Precision devices such as personal computers often cause problems due to electrification.If you continue to power on without shutting down or using it, you will often experience poor operation and poor performance.In such cases, you can expect to improve the situation by restarting your Mac.However, restarting or turning off the power is also a burden on the equipment, so you should avoid repeated attempts.As a result of repeating what you can do easily, you often end up in an irreversible situation.
*If you use Mac frequently, use sleep mode instead of shutdown.Using sleep mode rather than shutting down can reduce the load on the PC and prevent the battery from deteriorating.
↓ If your Mac freezes, please try this method as well.

What to do when a Mac freezes or hardens?
https://www.adte.jp/rec/hdd/post-1483/
Have you ever experienced a screen freeze while using your Mac?I′m worried if my Mac is hardened and I can′t move.If you shut down the Mac immediately in a hurry, the Mac itself may be broken.The Mac has a stable operating system and is not unstable, but you should be careful when it freezes frequently.Here are some of the causes and countermeasures for Mac freezing and hardening.
2. Update MacOS to the latest version
OS stands for Operating System, which is essential for running a PC.The operating systems of personal computers are broadly divided into MacOS and Windows.The OS is frequently updated, but if you don′t have the latest version of the OS on your computer, it can cause problems such as slow operation.Let′s check if the operating system is up to date in case of any trouble.OS updates are necessary not only to improve PC performance and add new features, but also to prevent malicious attacks from the Internet environment.
*In addition to MacOS, OS updates may take more than an hour, so let′s do it when the work and work are done.
·How do I update my MacOS to speed up my PC?
①Apple Menu → Select About This Mac
②Select Software Update
③Update the software when a newer version of the operating system is available
*If there is a problem with the Mac after updating the OS, it is possible that the permission to access the disk was damaged, leading to a problem.For those who need the data in the Mac, those who are important, or those who feel that they will be in trouble if they run out of it, let′s give priority to consulting a professional restoration company without unnecessary operations.
3. Organize your desktop
After the Mac and other PCs boot up, the OS is up, and after the OS is up, the data on the desktop is ready to be displayed.By any chance, storing many folders and files on the desktop puts a lot of strain on the PC startup process, leading to symptoms such as slow Mac operation and heavy speed.If you have many files on your desktop, you should prioritize organizing them.Fewer files and folders from the desktop often improve the situation.Also, if you often store data on your desktop, try not to place files or folders as much as possible.
4. Combine and close windows
Using Finder is a heavy memory burden and requires careful attention.Unlike Windows, Mac Finder windows often overlap and remain in the background.This applies to many apps such as email, calendar, Word, Excel, and preview.As a result, dozens of windows may remain open and continue to be used.If the window is opened too much, the memory will be heavily loaded, so you can expect to improve the situation by combining windows and closing them.
·If you want to combine windows
①In the top bar of the screen, click Window Menu → Finder
②Click on a window
③Click Combine All Window
The windows that were scattered and opened in the above way are gathered together, making it easier to close them individually.Minimizing window deployment can also help prevent overuse of memory.
5. Turn off the Bluetooth function
The Mac has Bluetooth functionality, and even if you don′t have a Bluetooth-connected device (mouse, music device, smartphone), you′ll have to use the resources of your PC if you turn on the Bluetooth function.The ON/OFF setting is easy to switch, so turn off the Bluetooth function when you are not using the peripheral device you use with Bluetooth.In order to improve the operating environment of the Mac, it is better to turn it on only when you want to use the Bluetooth function.
6.Delete browser cache
Browsers such as Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox continue to accumulate cache.Caching is the storage of data and images when you access a web page, and if you have a cache, the page will open immediately when you open the same web page again.If you don′t manually delete (clear) the cache, it will continue to accumulate, so if you feel that the Mac is heavy or slow, you can expect to improve the problem by deleting the cache.
7. Turn off the notification function
The notification function refers to what is displayed when any notification or update is received from the app.For example, when LINE is open on a Mac, when a message arrives, a notification tone and a banner informing the sender (who it came from) will be displayed in a pop-up.Thus, application notifications are always waiting in the background of the PC, which temporarily puts a load on the memory to record information and the CPU to process the PC.It′s better to minimize notifications from applications because it can slow down Macs when memory and CPU are overloaded.Try to turn off the notification settings when you don′t use a specific application.
What to do if your Mac is slow or heavy?1
If you have tried ′A solution that can be tried immediately when your Mac is slow or heavy′ but you do not expect the situation to improve, you may be able to solve the problem by trying the following solutions:Determine Drive Capacity and Health
iCloud utilization and storage optimization
manage and restrict login items
when there are too many apps running in the background
delete unnecessary files and folders
Consider replacing internal drives when they are older
When you have a lot of pictures and video files,
Dangerous when you touch a Mac and feel hot
When there are many apps that you don′t use,
If you have a lot of unnecessary things in your browser,
1. Check drive capacity and condition
The main reason why Macs slow down is because of the high internal drive usage drive.If we can reduce the load on the computer, we can expect to improve the operating speed.
·How do I improve the speed of the drive?
①Remove old video files, etc. with large data capacity
②Search and organize unnecessary files on your Mac
③Desktop Organization
④Cleaning the Drive
① ~ to は are easy to do manually, but if the usage rate is high as the free space becomes tight, it often takes time to organize and delete them.
ドライブ If you want to clean your drive, you can also choose to use software for cleaning.You can delete unnecessary files such as language packages, caches, logs, etc., which can improve operational efficiency, but if you use the software when the drive is about to break, it often causes the drive to fail completely.
·Procedure to clean the drive using software
①find and download software for cleaning software
②After installing the app, start it.
③Click System Junk → Click Scan
④Press the Clean button after the scan is complete → Delete
·How to check if there are any abnormalities in the drive
It may also slow down if the drive you are using on your Mac (internal HDD/SSD, external HDD, CD/DVD drive, etc.).One solution on the Mac is to start the Disk Utility application and select the drive you want to check and scan it because you can check the status of your drive by using the Scan feature Disk Utility.Any abnormalities found in the drive will require data recovery, repair, or replacement of the drive.
↓ If you want to recover data from your Mac, please refer to this as well.

When using Mac′s PC, the data you created disappeared, deleted the file by mistake, spilled drinks such as water and alcohol, and the MacBook lost power, and suddenly froze, so some of you might be in a hurry or in trouble.Here are some data recovery and recovery methods that you can try in the event of symptoms or problems with your Mac, as well as ways and measures to prevent data loss.
2. Utilize iCloud and optimize storage
Optimizing Mac storage is also important when your drive is full.You can also find the right management method for your Macs.
·How to proceed with storage optimization
①Click on Apple menu → Select About This Mac
②Select Storage tab → Click Manage
③Some Recommendations Appear in New Window
It is also an effective way to transfer files, folders, and other data to iCloud to free up space.
·How to use iCloud
①Click Save to iCloud
②Select the file you want to save to iCloud storage
Removing large files, such as Apple TV shows and movies, can help optimize storage optimization.If you want to prevent trash cans from being filled with old files or folders, you can also set the ′Automatically Empty Trash′ setting.*If you want to avoid the risk of accidentally putting important data in the trash can, please do not set this setting.
3. Manage and restrict login items
One solution is to limit the number of applications that require login as much as possible.The more applications you need to log in to, the more likely your PC will experience problems such as slow or heavy Mac operation.
·When you want to check the login status of the application
①Click User Name under System Preferences → Users and Groups
②Click the Login Items tab to confirm.
If a large number of applications are displayed on the login item screen, consider deleting applications that are unnecessary or unnecessary at startup.′Login Items′ → Select Application Name → Click ′′-mark′′ below the list → The selected application will be deleted.′
アプリケーション Large applications may adversely affect system resource consumption.
リストThe fewer applications on the list, the faster Mac works.
4. When there are too many apps running in the background
If there are too many apps and tasks running in the background, your Mac may slow down and not even be able to do simple tasks.
·How to end an application or task
You can use Activity Monitor to understand which processes are consuming system resources.If you have an application that uses a lot of Mac processing power, you can expect to improve the operating speed by closing the application.
①Application folder → Open Utility folder
②Open Activity Monitor → A list of apps and processes running on a Mac
③Click the Memory tab at the top of the screen → Select Memory Filter at the top of the list
④sort programs running on a Mac′s RAM
⑤Larger numbers = higher consumption
⑥Click the app you want to stop working from the list
⑦Click the x icon in the upper left corner of the window.
⑧The selected application stops working
知らない Be careful not to delete apps you don′t know or things you don′t understand easily.
5. Delete unnecessary files and folders
By erasing unnecessary files and folders other than deleting and stopping unnecessary applications, you can improve the speed of your Mac and PC.Data such as files and folders are often stored on the hard drive or SSD that is built into the Mac.If the capacity of the HDD or SSD is full or there is no free space, the operation of the PC will become unstable, which will adversely affect the operation of the application.In addition to storing data when a Mac has an internal SSD, it also acts as a virtual memory in the event of insufficient memory, and it is important to have enough free space in the drive to run the memory properly.
6. Consider replacing the internal drive when it is old
If your Mac′s internal drive gets too old, processing and operating speed may drop dramatically.The solution is to replace the drive itself.When using a Mac for a long period of time, it is also important to stop operating or working when you are in trouble, as various problems may occur, such as suddenly turning off the computer and restarting it repeatedly.If you keep using it as it is, the condition may become serious.

7. When the amount of photos and video files is large
Photos and video files are accumulating more and more.I don′t really care about the number of photos and videos that have been accumulated over the years, but I use more capacity than I expected for photos and videos.As a result, tightening the drive capacity often leads to poor Mac operation and speed delays.
·One solution is to move to external media when the amount of files is large.
Consider moving to an external hard drive, SSD, Google Drive, DropBox, etc. when you have accumulated photos or video files.
①Close the photo app
②Finder → Open External Media → Select a New Storage
③Open a new Finder window → Find a photo library
④Copy files and folders to a new location and then delete the original data
ファイル Rather than moving the files and folders, copy them and delete them.If your computer freezes or malfunctions occur while you′re on the move, you may lose important data.
8. Dangerous when touching a Mac and feeling hot
If you use a Mac for a long time, open applications too much, or use a lot of browsers, the Mac itself gets hot and often causes malfunction.When a computer gets hot, it often breaks down.If you keep using it, you may end up in an irreversible situation, so it is important to use it so that it doesn′t get hot.

コマンド If you have any resistance to how to deal with the command, you should avoid using it forcefully.
10. When there is a large amount of old data such as cache and download files
There are places where data keeps accumulating on any Mac.There are two locations: Cache and Download Folder.Caching or accumulating unused files will run out of space on your drive, which will slow down your computer′s performance.
·How to clear cache and download folders
There are many types of cache files, such as cache system cache generated by user cache applications.User caches tied to user accounts account for a large number of unnecessary data in the Mac, and are said to be around 70% of the time.To manually delete the cache, follow these steps:
·Procedure to delete user cache
①Open Finder Window → Go to menu bar → Go to folder
②Enter ~/Library/Caches → Click Move
③Select a folder for each cache → Delete its contents → Then empty the trash can
フォルダ Be careful not to delete the folder itself.
·Procedure to delete the system cache
①Open Finder Window → Go to menu bar → Go to folder
②Type /Library/Caches → Click Move
③Find the main cache folder → Open subfolder → Delete all stored cache files
やりThe method is almost the same.②The character input part of the is slightly different.
システム Because there are concerns about conflicts with cache folders when deleting the system cache, it is recommended that you back up the cache folder before you perform any operations.
·How to clear the download folder
①Go to Download Folder → Sort files by size
②Find the ′.DMG′ file in the download file
③Move media files to iCloud
④Move files and folders to external media such as external hard drives
⑤Delete duplicate folders and files
インターネット When I use the Internet, I have many opportunities to download various files from the Internet.The downloaded files are stored in the download folder, but many files accumulate without realizing it, often squeezing memory.As time goes by, old images and PDF files are often forgotten, and download folders should be regularly organized.
Things I want to be careful about on a daily basis so that my Mac doesn′t get heavy.
Depending on how you use your Mac, you can avoid symptoms such as heavy operation.
regularly empty the trash can
Perform frequent system updates
charge when the battery runs low
run disk utilities regularly
1. Empty the trash can regularly
Even if you put unnecessary files and folders in the trash can, if they remain in the trash can, the memory in the Mac will be consumed.Therefore, it is necessary to ′empty the trash can′ in order to increase the free space of the Mac′s memory.If you empty the trash can, the data will be erased from the Mac and free up memory space.However, you often realize that you have erased the files and folders you need after emptying the trash can.If you accidentally delete the data, do not continue to operate on your Mac.Data can be overwritten and difficult to recover just by continuing to power on, turning off, or rebooting.When you are in trouble, you should stop and consult a professional restoration company.
