    Abstract: If your Mac seems a lot slower now than when you first bought it, it's not your imagination. Over time, your Mac can become bogged down with extra background tasks, run out of free RAM and disk space, and encounter a wide variety of other issues that lead to slow performance. With expert advice and a little detective work, you can find and fix these problems-returning your Mac to its original, peppy self. Don't depend on random tips that may or may not help. In this book you'll learn how to find and address the exact causes of slow behavior, with before-and-after tests to confirm your results. You'll discover how to optimize CPU and RAM usage, eliminate disk bottlenecks, improve network performance (including web browsing and email), speed up peripherals, perform strategic software and hardware upgrades, and much more. This book covers 10.9 Mavericks or later, including 10.14 Mojave. In this practical, hands-on book, Joe Kissell shares the results of his extensive research: Learn the Basics: Separate fact from fiction when it comes to commonly recommended performance tips. Diagnose Speed Issues: Use benchmarking and other diagnostic tools to pinpoint speed problems and test your fixes. Try Quick Fixes: Discover the most effective techniques for overcoming random, temporary speed problems. Lighten Your CPU's Load: Track down apps that are bogging down your processor and teach them to behave. Increase Available RAM: Turn off or manage processes that are using too much memory so there's more to work with. Improve Disk Performance: Fix disk errors, avoid running out of space, and eliminate inefficient disk access. Boost Network Speeds: Speed up Wi-Fi and Ethernet network access, DNS lookups, web browsing, and email. Monitor System Resources: Use Activity Monitor and other tools to keep tabs on your Mac's CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. Upgrade Your Hardware: Learn when and how to install additional RAM, a new hard drive, an SSD, or other hardware upgrades.

    Abstract: Manage your upgrade to High Sierra with ease! Although Apple has made upgrading to each new operating system easier and safer, there is still room for things to go wrong. In Take Control of Upgrading to High Sierra , Mac expert Joe Kissell outlines a process that will take the stress out of upgrading, showing you how to make the switch more efficiently and in the way that's right for you. Learn what you need to know before you begin, how to prepare your Mac and make backups, and be ready to make decisions about installation questions. In this book, you'll find out more about the changes Apple has made to the Mac's file system in High Sierra, and what impact that might have on your upgrade. You'll also find information about possible impediments to upgrading--including minimum system requirements, software incompatibilities, and lack of disk space--and how to resolve those issues. You'll experience an easy upgrade and deal quickly with post-installation quirks with these topics: Start fast: A Quick Start overview helps you read lightly or more deeply, depending on your needs. Take in the view: Find out what you can look forward to in High Sierra. Compatibility check: Make sure your hardware and software are ready for High Sierra and consider whether this is a good time to buy new hardware, even if it's not essential for your upgrade. Backing up: Avoid upgrade anxiety by ensuring you can return to the previous state of your Mac--and that you can boot from your backup. Joe provides steps for carrying out this essential task in Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. Picking a plan: Go for an easy in-place upgrade or consider a more complex clean install. Find out which option is right for you. Installing: Download and store the installer where it won't be deleted, with special tips for people who want to install on multiple Macs or who have bandwidth limitations. And, although running the installer will be easy for many people, you'll find full steps for what to click and when. Post-installation tune-up: Make sure your new system is running smoothly by completing a few important housekeeping tasks and making a few key decisions. Troubleshooting: Yikes! It is possible that something will go wrong during installation, or that once you've booted up under High Sierra that you'll encounter a serious problem. Joe's time-tested troubleshooting advice will help get your system working again.

    Abstract: Creating and maintaining a solid backup plan is essential to anyone who uses a Mac, in order to prevent the loss of important data if disaster strikes-whether through hardware or software failure, theft, human error, or other mishap. In Take Control of Backing Up Your Mac, Third Edition , tech expert Joe Kissell explains how to design a sensible backup strategy, choose and configure the best backup hardware and software for your needs, and understand how to make your backups as painless as possible. His advice is equally useful to those who have never had a backup system and those whose backup systems are in need of an update. This book covers 10.9 Mavericks or later, including 10.14 Mojave. Using this book, you'll learn how to: Design (or update) the ideal backup system: If you're starting from scratch, you'll find all the information necessary to assemble a reliable and easy-to-use backup system. If you're updating an existing system, you'll learn about what's new in hardware, software, and online services that might affect the way you back up your Mac in the future. Choose backup software: Apple's Time Machine is both free and easy to use, but it's not the best choice for everyone, and even if you do use Time Machine, you'll certainly want to supplement it with other tools. You'll learn about key features to look for in a backup app and find tips on using several popular tools. You'll also discover the pros and cons of cloud backup services, and get help choosing the right one. (An online appendix covers nearly 100 apps and services.) Shop for hardware: For most users, hard drives make an excellent backup destination, but the range of options (sizes, interfaces, speeds, and more) can be bewildering. Joe helps you find the best backup hardware, whether it's individual hard drives, RAIDs, Drobo storage devices, Time Capsules, or NAS devices. Make and maintain backups: Once you've selected hardware and software, you'll need to know how to make your first backup, set up your backups to run unattended, and test them regularly to make sure they're working as they should. This includes both versioned backups (which contain old file versions and deleted files) and bootable clones. And, you'll learn about strategies for keeping extra backups offsite. Operate Time Machine: If you choose Time Machine for versioned backups, you'll learn how to back up and restore individual files, app-specific data (such as contacts), and even an entire disk. You'll al...
