  • What is the best way to keep your macbook pro in tip top condition. performance wise

    What is the best way to keep the performance of a macbook pro in tip top shape.  Over the years my computer seems to act like a pc with all of its hicups and lockups.
    I am running mountain lion and this computer is approx 2 years old.
    Not sure if there is some sort of software that will help with this or is there something else I can do.
    Thanks

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
    Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
    Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction.  Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
    4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
    5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    6. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
    While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
    7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A computing device is not something you should have to think about very much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that is always whining for your attention like a neurotic dog, use a PC.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • What is the best way to keep my personal files stored in iCloud separate from my work-related files?

    What is the best way to keep my personal files stored in iCloud separate from my work-related files? It seems that I'm not allowed to link my iPad mini and my work iMac using two different accounts, so I'm wondering how to make my single personal account work for both, while keeping personal vs work files reasonably separated.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Is it possible for you to upgrade your account to iCloud Drive? That would mean, all Macs upgraded to Yosemite, and all mobile devices to iOS8?
    See:  iCloud Drive FAQ and iCloud: About using iWork for iOS and iCloud
    In iCloud Drive you could create two separate custom folders, one for work documents and one for private documents and organize your documents there.  Don't use the app specific folders (Keynote, Pages, Numbers, ...) , because you can only create one level of folders inside these folders.

  • I just switched from pc to mac.  what is the best way to keep Windows?  Parallel or Boot camp?

    I have just switched from pc to mac.  What is the best way to keep Windows, Parallel of Boot camp?

    Parallels should be able to handle that without any problems.
    There is a version of both of those that will run on the Mac. So you might consider upgrading to that version instead of going with Windows on your Mac.

  • I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

    I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. After a few days or weeks, I have new files on some folders on either of the machines that is not on the other machine. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

    How did you transfer the files to the iMac.  If you exported the files out of the MB library using Kind = Current you should get the edited version.  Any other  option may not.
    If you want to keep the two libraries "synced"  any photos you want to move to the iMac should be added to an album, connect the two Mac with a LAN, Target Disk Mode,  Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, with WiFi. and use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album from the MB library to iMac library.  It will also copy the original and edited versions, keywords, titles, etc.

  • What's the best way to use your iPad instead of textbooks?

    What's the best way to use your iPad instead of textbooks? I'm about to start a BSN program and have heard of using your iPad for textbooks instead of buying and carrying around 8 different books. Is there an app for that? Or do you buy or rent the books? What's the best solution?

    Or, if you're like me and you want to do a lot of heavy reading, use the iPad because the low contrast on a Kindle is extremely fatiguing.  
    Seriously, though "screen glare will cause eye strain" is often taken as an article of faith, there's not a lot of good scientific evidence for it. "Eye strain" can be caused by concentrating on any close work for long periods of time. Looking up and focusing on something distant periodically is very helpful. Older CRT screens that flicker also can be aggravting. I'm not denying that some people find reading backlit screens uncomfortable. However, it's not dangerous. And, then, there are other people who find the higher contrast a backlit screen affords to be much less wearying over long periods of time.

  • What is the best way to migrate your Adobe software to another computer?

    What is the best way to migrate your Adobe software to another computer?

    If you know that you do not intend to use the software on the old machine (especially if you are getting rid of it), the minimum you need to do is deactivate it.  That will disable use of it and free up an extra activation for you should you ever wish to have two machines available to use it on.  To deactivate you just open an application and choose Help -> Deactivate.  If this happens to be a Creative Suite, doing that to just one of the applications will deactivate the entire Suite.
    You can also uninstall the software if you like, but be sure to deactivate it first.

  • What are the best ways to protect your macbook?

    I have ordered my 1st ever Apple product, the White Macbook.
    I would like to know what are the best ways to keep it save and in top condition?
    Apple have given me this case as a good will gesture, so I won't be needing a case for it: http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=94689A4C&nplm=T J702
    But any solutions for stopping the discolouration (i hope this never occures on with my macbook) but any invisible stickers which I can put on the palm areas?
    Any tips?

    The new plastics really don't have the discoloration problem, so you don't actually need palm rest protection. Any dirt can be taken care of with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I use only a silicone keyboard cover by Carapace to protect my macbook. I type so much that the letters often wear off my keys, and this will prevent that, as well as dust entering through the keyboard or, God forbid, any spilled liquid. The macbook heat vents are in the back, so my macbook does not overheat with the keyboard cover in place.

  • What is the best way to keep my retina screen clean?

    What is the best way to keep my retina screen clean?

    I use Windex Electronics Cleaner on the MBP displays.  I spray some on a small microfiber cloth and wipe the display.  Then I use a large microfiber cloth to dry it.  When finished, the display looks like the day it came out of the box.

  • What is the best way to safeguard my files and pictures before I send off my MacBook Pro to get fixed?

    What is the best way to safeguard my files and pictures before I send off my MacBook Pro to get fixed? I am running Mavericks and use an AirPort Time Machine to back-up all my files.

    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. You need at least two independent backups to be completely safe. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore to an empty drive.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • What is the best way to merge a file content into log file

    What is the best way to merge a file content into log file.
    In worst case, I will read the file line by line as string, then use
    logger.info(lineString)to output to log file.
    However, is there better way to do this?
    The eventual log file will be something like:
    log message 1
    log message 2
    content from file line 1
    content from file line 2
    content from file line 3
    log message 3
    log message 4Thanks

    1. What do you mean by better?
    I would like to see better performance. read line by line and log each line as string can be slow. Did you measure this and determine that it is actually a problem for your application? Or are you guessing?
    Regardless of what you do you are still going to need to read the file.

    2.The only better way I can think of is not having to do it, but I assume you have a very good reason to want to do this.
    Yes, I have to do it beacuse the requirement is to have that file content be part of logging.
    Any idea?How is it supposed to be part of it? For example which of the following is better?
            File AAA - contents
                       First Line
                       Second Line XXX
            Log 1
                    2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random preceding line
                    2009-03-27 DEBUG: First Line
                    2009-03-27 DEBUG: Second Line XXX
                    2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random following line
            Log 2
                    2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random preceding line
                    2009-03-27 DEBUG: ----- File: AAA -------------
                    First Line
                    Second Line XXX
                    2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random following lineBoth of the above have some advantages and disadvantages.
    The first in a mult-threaded app can end up with intermittent log entries in between lines, so having log lines with thread ids becomes important.
    The first can be created by reading one line at a time and posting one at a time.
    The second can be created by reading the entire file as a single string and then posting using a single log statement.
