    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: Macs, like all machines, are prone to break down eventually-in either a physical sense (a component going bad) or a logical sense (files becoming corrupted, apps misbehaving). You can reduce the risk of such problems, and minimize the damage when they do occur, with a regular maintenance regimen. This book contains simple steps you can take to keep your Mac humming. In much the same way that you brush and floss to prevent cavities, or change your car's oil periodically to prevent engine damage, you should eliminate the crud on your Mac (whether that's dust, outdated apps, or useless files) and perform other tasks to keep it healthy. By doing so, you'll improve your Mac's performance, prevent problems, and increase your productivity. In this book, best-selling author Joe Kissell helps you start on the right foot by addressing common maintenance issues, and then covers simple tasks you can perform periodically to keep your Mac in top shape. He also helps you discover useful utilities for automating parts of the process and dispels common misconceptions about maintenance. This book covers 10.9 Mavericks or later, including 10.14 Mojave. What You'll Learn: Keeping Software Up to Date: Figure out what software on your Mac is out of date, whether automatic updates are a good idea, and how to keep up with the latest bug fixes. Removing Digital Clutter: Find and remove old software, useless files, unneeded login items, and other items that can take up valuable space and cause performance issues. Preventing Data Loss and Theft: Make sure your backups are in order, your passwords are strong, and other security details are under control. Testing Your Hardware: Discover the easy (and free!) way to make sure your Mac's logic board, RAM, hard drive or SSD, and other components are in good shape. Using Maintenance Utilities: Find out which maintenance apps are most useful, which should be avoided, and what to watch out for when using third-party utilities. Daily, Weekly, Monthly, & Yearly Tasks: Performing quick and easy maintenance tasks on a regular schedule can prevent small problems from turning into major disasters. Maintenance Myths: Conventional wisdom is often wrong. Don't waste time or effort on maintenance tasks that most people can safely avoid. Preparing for a macOS Upgrade: Apple is now upgrading macOS on a yearly schedule. Find out what you need to know to be ready for the next major release. Monitoring Your Mac's Health: Learn how to keep trac...

    Abstract: How do you want to be remembered by future generations? You can make a will to handle your physical possessions, but what about your digital life-photos, videos, email, documents, and the like? This ebook, written by tech expert Joe Kissell, covers many aspects of preserving such electronic ephemera as part of your digital legacy. If you're not at the stage of life where you can think about this for yourself, consider that you may have to do so for your parents or other relatives. It's not all about posterity either , since following Joe's advice will also help loved ones access your key accounts and important info if you're incapacitated, which can happen at any time. The book will help you with these essential tasks: Identify your key digital assets: online accounts, photos, audio files, videos, passwords, documents, email, and more. Plan for each type of digital asset based on your priorities for today, for shortly after you are no longer around, and for posterity. Joe explains the ideal file formats to use, how to deal with social media sites, the best ways to digitize paper documents and photos, and strategies for sharing passwords with family members, among much else. Communicate your wishes in a "digital will" and designate someone to be its "digital executor." The book includes a template document that you can develop into a personalized digital will. Preserve your data for the future. You'll consider types of archival storage media, cloud-based storage services, backups, and what instructions to provide about maintaining your data as file formats and storage media types evolve. Whether you just want to ensure that your heirs get copies of your favorite family photos and a few key documents or you want to catalog and preserve tens of thousands of digital items, this book helps you make smart decisions about your digital legacy . Questions answered include: What strategies can I use for sorting and preserving email? How can I ensure that my email account will be available to those wrapping up my estate? What if I have digital data that should be destroyed when I die? What should I do with my huge photo collection (both digital and paper)? How can I make my passwords available to those who will need them-but keep them private for now? What should I think about when handing down purchased audio and video files? What should happen to my Facebook account when I'm no longer around? What choices are available for keeping my digital archive av...

    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...
