How to keep MacBook Pro running ...

Hi everyone!!
New to MAC world,  bought it 2 months ago, I want  to keep my MAC running fast and smooth as it is right now, WHAT IS THE BEST WAY to keep it that way?
I have search around blogs,ppl have different point of view.
Someone said  all I need is to follow this:
1 Make redundants backups
2. Keep your software up to dat
3. Don't install crapware,
4. Beware of trojan
I have read ppl say  MACs don't really need mantenace, few if any, THEN others says they need maintenance.
If they dont really need maintenance, how do old files get rid of itself?
I need to know what is the best program or what should I do to clean old files or unwanted files out of the system to keep it clean and fast.
Sorry if this has been posted before.
Thank you!

I've had my mac for 3 years and it is just as speedy as the first day and have done nothing on my own.  It takes care of itself.  It's a good idea to restart it at least once a month to dump the cache.  What old files are you referring to?  I delete the old ones I no longer need.

  • Nice Small App To Keep MacBook Pro Running With Lid Closed

    Found a nice little app, NoSleep that keeps the MacBook Pro running even when the lid is shut, so I use it alone with Caffeine and MacLock. I had found that my system was crashing on a continuing basis and with No Sleep it hasn't.

    Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776

  • How do you keep macbook pro running quickly

    I always thought that using a MAC would eliminate the need to re-image a machine like you have to do with Windows. However, my recently purchased MacBook Pro 13" retina display with 8Gb RAM, 3Ghz i7 processor is already beginning to slow down - just like a Windows laptop. I have used MacKeeper in the past, and that has improved the performance of previous MacBook Air's that I had. However, I have been warned off MacKeeper (anyone have any evidence that this is a real, solid, non-invasive application that is safe to run?).
    Just need some help in how to keep this great machine humming - it's only 2 months old!
    Thanks

    This is what Apple has to say.

    Let's take this one step at a time... what you've posted can be useful, for the right problems, but it's not helpful much in determining how you can speed up your MacBook Pro.
    First, which model do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011") and which version of OS X are you running? How much RAM do you have installed?
    Downlaod and run EtreCheck and post the results.

  • Is there any tutorial on how to keep macbook pro clean and fully working?

    Hi everyone,
    I bought a macbook pro three days ago (and it works like a charm by the way). I'll be using this computer mainly for school work so I don't want to mess it up like I did on my iMac 2011. So what would you suggest to keep this computer clean and fully working (like a new one) for a long time since I plan to keep it at least 3-4 years? Would you recommend any cleaning software, or to manually clean the macbook once in a while? Basically, all I want to know is how to keep a healthy mac as long as possible!
    For the physical aspect of the mac I already have a sleeve for it so I don't think it's going to be an issue.
    Thank you!
    AteMyApple

    No maintence necessary, really - see Thomas Reed's article:
    The myth of the dirty Mac
    ...and...
    Mac Performance Guide
    ...both make good reading. DO NOT mess with any 'clean your mac' utilities - they're junk and may do more harm than good.

  • My hard drive has 70.93 GB available, yet when i have more than one internet tab open, i have to force quit google chrome because 'there is no more available application memory'. How can I solve this? I have a 2009 macbook pro running on 10.6.8.

    My hard drive has 70.93 GB available, yet when i have more than one internet tab open, i have to force quit google chrome because 'there is no more available application memory'. How can I solve this? I have a 2009 macbook pro running on 10.6.8. I have tried updating to mavericks through the mac app store but after it downloading for a day i got an error message saying there was a problem with the download. The same thing happens if i try to update itunes or the mac app store. After research, i have also tried repairing disk permissions, but every time they do get repaired the 'repair' button still appears, i'm not sure if it's because it was unable to repair the initial problems or if it just keeps detecting new ones.

    2 GBs is a minimum in which you can do many things, but not concurrently. Be very careful to not install third-party add-ons, limit the number of applications you choose to enter in Login Items, run as few applications concurrently as you demand.
    I would consider adding more RAM to your computer. Your model supports 8 GBs, so I would install that.

  • I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite.  Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard.  Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks?  Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems.  Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard?  Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks?  Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

    Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
    1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
    2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
    You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
    After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
    3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

  • How do I use my Time Capsule to back up my wife's MacBook Pro running 10.4.

    I just installed a Time Capsule. I've extended the range with two Airport Expresses. I've connected my MacBook running 10.6.3 to the wireless network. I've connected my wife's MacBook Pro running 10.4.11 to it. I've connected my wife's 3G iPhone to it and my first gen iPhone to it and our Apple TV to it. All devices can connect to the internet. I've connected the Time Capsule to the printer and printed wirelessly from both computers.
    I've backed up my MacBook and seen that the Time Machine is backing up my MacBook as it should.
    How do use the Time Capsule to back up my wife's MacBook Pro running 10.4.11? I've tried connecting them via ethernet cable and via USB cable. In both cases the Time Capsule failed to show up as an external drive and wasn't seen by the 10.4.11 back up utility.
    How do people do this? (Other than convincing their wives to let them upgrade their MacBook Pro to 10.6.3?)

    That really is your best option. Sooner or later, you're going to have a problem with the "other" data on your Time Capsule, since the backups of your Mac will, eventually, fill up all the available empty space. That will, of course, limit the space available for the other backups.
    There's a very cumbersome workaround in the blue box of #Q3 of the Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    Another is to connect a USB drive to the Time Capsule, partition it if desired, and back up one Mac to it and the other to the TC's internal drive.

  • How do I install  Xcode on a MacBook Pro running 10.7.9 (Lion?)

    I am a retired chap trying to help my grandson get into robotics. He wants to be able to write code to control an Arduino which in turn will control a number of solenoids. I used to design and build hardware and write control software (using Delphi O.O.) for space research equipment. I have  MacBook Pro running   OS X 10.7.9 and have access to an iMAC running OS X 10.6.8
    We want to use C++ (unless anyone can tell us why this might be a bad move) and I have been told I need to install XCode. I looked into it and as far as I can glean, I have to install XCode 4 to be compatible with my MacBook. I downloaded XCode 4.6.2 and ended up with two files, namely :
    xcode4620419895a.dmg
    xcode4620419895a.dmg.part
    and now I am stuck. Firstly, was that the correct version to download? If it is, how do I actually install the development environment from those two files? If I try to execute the disk image it tells me it is unrecognisable. If I try to execute the *.part document it asks me what application I should open it with. Any help/advice will be much appreciated

    Sorry it took me a while to come back. Anyway, I cleared out the old Xcode files and went into the Developers Download area and selected to download 4.6.3 and was presented with this window
    I clicked on Savefile and it downloaded. I was intrigued as to why this would work as it was exactly what I had done before. Out of interest I decided to issue the download again and this time it created a zero byte disk image and a "part" file of 1.6mB. I shall just have to put that behind me (accepting that I don't understand why one download should work and all the precious attempts should fail) and move on.
    Thank you for your help (it was my eyesight that caused me to think my OS version was 10.7.9 - it is indeed 10.7.5)

  • I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

    I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.  This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade.  Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV?  There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

    Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
    If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection.  Double check all cables.  If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

    I'm using a macbook pro, running snow leopard. Yesterday I got around to emptying my trash for the first time in quite awhile and was surprised by how much there seemed to be in there. Immediately after a question mark symbol appeared on all my hard disk folders. If I click on these question marks I get a message saying ' the item can't be found'.

    mpagan47 wrote: a question mark symbol appeared on all my hard disk folders.
    Not sure where these hard disk folders are located that you are referring to?  Finder, Finder tool bar, Finder side bar, Desktop, Dock? 
    More then likely they are  an alias that not longer point to the orginals,  thus the question mark.
    I would reboot.  Delete icons if an alias and just recreate by dragging from the source. Try right click (control) click to remove.

  • Is the Dell 3115CN compatible with a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion? If so, how can I install the drivers and install the printer on my mac?

    I hace a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion OS.... I need to print from time to time but don't have a new printer to go with my new macbook. Would a 3115CN work with it or no? If so, how can I set it up? Setting up a printer on a mac is a bit different from doing so on a windows machine and I am new to the macworld.
    All help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes. I'm running this printer from 10.6 through 10.9 and it's worked fine with all versions. Dell released updated drivers a while ago that make it much easier to administer this printer.

  • I have screwed up a bunch of settings etc. on macbook pro running preinstalled lion. I think I should is to wipe the computer and reinstall to start over again. I will loose nothing of importance except a few passwords.  Is this wise? How do I do it?

    I have screwed up a bunch of settings, folders, photos, etc on my macbook pro running factory installed Lion.  To get everything straightened out, I was thinking I should do a delete and reinstall and just start over like it was a brand new computer.  I will only loose some usermane and password info and my history and cookies.  There is nothing else on the computer that is not on another device somewhere.  Does this sound like the right thing to do?  I cannot seem to find ways to correct the problems indivdually, though I am sure they are there.  If so, how do I do it?  My computer did not come with any type of disc, I do not believe.  Thanks in advance for anyone's help!

    Yes, that sounds reasonable.
    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list.
          Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
            and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process
          has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
