Apple 2021 latest security updates announced.

  1 — Decouple Security Patches from Feature Updates: As rumored before, users now have a choice between two software update versions in the Settings app. Users can either opt to update to the latest version of iOS 15 for all the latest features and most complete set of security updates or continue on iOS 14 and still get important security updates until they are ready to migrate to the next major version.   2 — Built-in Two-factor Authenticator: The new versions of iOS and macOS come with new options that allow users to generate two-factor authentication codes for each of the online accounts saved to iCloud Keychain (Settings > Passwords) without the need for downloading additional apps like Google Authenticator or Authy. 3 — Private Relay:   To come as part of Apple iCloud+ for existing iCloud subscribers at no extra cost, Private Relay is akin to a VPN in that it routes users' internet traffic on Safari browser through two relays in order to mask w...

Mac® running slow? How to speed up a Mac



Is your Mac running slow? While we love Apple® computers, even Mac systems are susceptible to slowing down over time. As requirements for apps and programs continue to grow, they consume a greater amount of system resources (particularly memory), and you gradually lose the quick, responsive performance that Mac systems are famous for. Hopefully,  I can help answer the question of “why is my mac so slow?”because this is hocking that mac is performing slow but yes it is possible and this is not a big problem no need to get panic or think about it just follow the steps which i mentioned below! and also stay tuned with us by subscribing our gaming channel thanks!

Man pushes a boulder uphill to indicate how a slow Mac system can feel

10 tips to increase Mac speed

If your Mac is running slow, software and programs you've added might be to blame, causing problems behind the scenes. Identifying corrupt files or programs is important, however, slow performance usually has a far less sinister origin. There are easier ways to solve this problem than spending a lot of money buying a new computer. Try these 10 tips to speed up a Mac.

Upgrading your hardware addresses the root cause of a slowdown, which is fundamentally different from software solutions offered by third-party downloads that promise to easily fix your system. It’s wishful thinking that a simple download will fix everything on your computer – don’t fall for a software program whose benefits don’t last and will only leave you more frustrated. There’s a better, more reliable way to reinvigorate your Mac system that will last – adding more RAM and an SSD.It’s easy to leave your Mac system on without shutting it down. It’s usually ready when you are, and that’s one of the greatest appeals of using any Apple product. Restarting your computer after you’ve saved information gives the RAM a fresh start when the system boots up again, and gets rid of any lingering unused apps or processes running in the background that aren’t necessary.

Step 1: Restart occasionally

It’s easy to leave your Mac system on without shutting it down. It’s usually ready when you are, and that’s one of the greatest appeals of using any Apple product. Restarting your computer after you’ve saved information gives the memory (RAM) a fresh start, and it gets rid of any lingering unused apps or processes running in the background.

Step 2: Limit the apps you have open

Opening many apps at once occupies valuable and finite RAM resources. When you’re multitasking, your available RAM is spread out among all the open programs and the operations going on within them. One of the benefits of upgrading your memory is that it increases the number of apps you can have open as you multitask without noticing performance lag.

Step 3: Limit your number of web browsing tabs 

You may be surprised to see how much memory is consumed by the apps you use every day. Web browsing, especially with many tabs open, can slow your system to a crawl if you don’t have enough memory. Each new tab is essentially like opening a new browser, and when you have more than ten tabs open, your memory and system resources are drained.You may be surprised to see how much memory is consumed by the apps you use every day! Web browsing, especially with many tabs open, can slow your system to a crawl if you don’t have enough memory. Each new tab is essentially like opening a new browser, and when you have more than ten tabs open, your memory and system resources are drained.

Here’s how to find out which apps are using your memory right now:

  • In the Finder app, click Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor > then click the Memory tab
  • You’ll see the processes listed in order of how much memory they’re using
  • Depending on how you use your computer, it’s likely that your preferred web browser app is using a lot of your memory and slowing your system down

If you have web browsers or tabs open that you are no longer using, close them to free up RAM and speed up your system.

Step 4: Remove unused apps 

If you’re still using a hard drive(HDD) instead of a solid state drive (SSD) and it’s nearly full, it’s best to free up space by removing apps you no longer use. Because hard drives store and access data on spinning platters, you’re left waiting as it searches for what you’re trying to load. SSDs don’t rely on small mechanical moving parts like a hard drive. As a result, they open programs and access files much quicker.

Step 5: Reduce the number of apps in your Dock 

Each app you have in the Dock requires data that draws from your system’s resources so it can be accessed faster than from the Finder window. If your system is at the edge of its limitations, this is a quick way to give it a little more breathing room. If you open System Preferences > Dock, you can also uncheck the Animate opening applicationsand Automatically hide and show the Dockto further limit the amount of RAM the Dock uses.

Step 6: Get rid of your screen saver 

We all like to show off our photos by using them as a desktop wallpaper or screen saver, adjusting the settings so that the picture changes every 5 or 15 minutes. However, to allow this to happen, your system must allocate resources to accessing the photos, changing the desktop background, and loading the screen saver. These activities can slow down your system. Open System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver, click the Desktop tab and uncheck the Change picture option. Then, click the Screen Saver tab, click the drop-down menu next to Start after, and select Never.

Step 7: Upgrade your memory 

You may just not have enough storage for the apps and programs you use. Here’s how to see how much memory is in your Mac if you’re using macOS® Sierra:

  • Click the Apple Logo in the Apple menu at the top of your screen.
  • Click About This Mac

This step varies depending on the version of the operating system and model of Mac being used. For example, in OS X El Capitan, the memory you have installed (amount of GB, speed, and level of memory technology supported – i.e., DDR4, DDR3, etc.) will be displayed as part of the Overview pane.

If your Mac is a 2011 model or newer, check out how much memory it can be configured with, according to Apple specifications: iMac®, Mac Pro®, MacBook Pro®, MacBook®, and Mac mini®. A memory upgrade is ideal for improving responsiveness, running apps faster, and smooth multitasking. Because nearly every computer operation relies on memory, it’s essential to have as much of it as possible, which is why a memory upgrade is one of the best ways to improve Mac performance. This is a key factor because most Mac systems don’t ship with maxed-out memory, but this can be solved by filling each memory slot in your system with the highest density (in GB) DRAM modules they can hold.
