This article about Mac OS X maintenance.
Imagine You are during the culmination of some immediate operation and suddenly the computer freezes. What is the possible solution? Contrary to the popular idea,
Macintosh users indeed experience random freezes when processing common software. That sequence of slowing is not subject to obvious algorithm. It is said that, the current problems seem to be far worse and can occur to any MacBook resulting in the computer becoming not usable. The nature of slowing – down is not known and a Macintosh can freeze at any moment.
Thought an exact reason has not been determined yet, the issue is likely due to serious inconveniences with integration of modern software versions available with existing hardware. Some of the available solutions to troubleshoot this inconvenience are covered in this article.
MAIN APPROACHES TO FIXING OF MACBOOK SLOWDOWN
Try following easy fixes to resolve the problem of freezing:
Boot MacBook in Safe Mode: laptop freezing problems might be due certain incompatible third-party software. In order to to test the version, a user should boot Macintosh in “safe mode”, which restricts these external objects from launching while Operational system boots.
Check Software Setup While Working In Safe Mode: To do so, attempt removing the software one by one and then see if this solves mentioned issue. Waste majority of described inconveniences happen with software that utilize network resources to synchronize. A username may as well be a reason for application-related problems, so set a new account, before another testing of software. In case the problem continues, try reinstalling affected programs.
Perform Mac Boot Recovery Actions: These include:
• Downgrading to previous Mac OS X increment
• Making an “archive & install” check
• Repartitioning and reformatting the main disc
SOLUTIONS INTENDED FOR MACINTOSH FREEZES WHEN LID CLOSED
It happens that a Mac freezes when its lid in lower position. You may close the lid in case you put the MacBook into sleeping mode, or if when all the job is done. This could be due to a new feature which Macs implement, known as Safe Sleep, which means that Macintosh records information from Random access to the main drive. This is actually an inbuilt security feature in those latest Mac models; in case the battery depletes completely when your MacBook stays sleep mode, the machine is capable to resume from the last recorded state as soon as you restart it.
The problem is, this precaution is not useful, as it greatly freezes falling asleep stage for your Mac. To illustrate this we can mention that, on a Macintosh possessing 4 GB of RAM, transferring 2048 Mb of data to the main disc is going to take a little while. This also means that that laptop is going to use up 2 GB of extra disk capacity on the HD to record information each time.
To add to mentioned, during earlier described Safe Sleep mode, a so –called sleeping light shines, and stays lit without pulsing. In case that is in pulse mode, you may be sure the Macintosh stays active. If the light shines constantly, as it does in Safe Sleep mode, CPUs run at maximal speed. Macintosh gets extremely overheated. Putting it in a computer bag in such condition may significantly reduce effective working life of your Mac.
It is therefore pertinent to question if the “safe sleep” tune is really a valuable application for your MacBook. This feature saves the machine in the event of battery depletion. Supposed you can timely make sure this can’t does not happen, you can for sure disable the Safe sleep.
DISABLING SLEEPING MODE
Perform the following tasks to turn off the Safe Sleep feature:
1. Input these two sequences using the Terminal, and hit the “return” button:
” sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0”
” sudo nvram "use-nvramrc?"=false”
The ‘safe sleep” regime is turned-off.
UTILIZING THE MAIN DISK SPACE USED BY THE SAFE SLEEP REGIME
You are expected to identify and delete precisely that directory that contains data that a computer records to your hard disc taking it your Random access memory during Safe Sleep mode. You may easily eliminate the file, and save your MacBook some valuable space. The folder is called SleepImage.
To utilize this space, do the following:
1. From the Go menu, launch the ”finder” application, and choose the Go To Folder.
2. Type the following command into the prompt and hit “return” key:
"/var/vm"
3. Locate a directory named SleepImage.
4. Delete this and make empty Trash folder to clean data storage place
