This was so useful! I was able to clean up about 100 gigs from viewing the Storage portion and finding developer cache stuff that I don't need anymore! Thanks so much!
Came across your channel right as the M1 Pro MacBooks were being released, glad I picked one up. One of my favorite tech channels
Also one of mine…but only when they have informational videos like this one. I don’t watch the leaks anymore.
THANK YOU! I was on the verge of tears by how slow my Mac had become. After implementing your tips, it's working much faster. You're the best!!! 🙏🏽
Wow, I’m literally working on getting my Masters in computer software and I didn’t know half of this. You guys at Max Tech never cease to amaze me. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for this wonderful video. I was so close to downloading more ram.
Excellent video. Love the tips and tricks here.
Thank you so much, this made my day, i was having problem with my Mac's speed... but now it works as brand new...
Great video! Thanks for showing us this!
This is a fantastic video. You have helped me a lot. Thank you!
Super Video.. Well explained.. Thank you for taking the time to enlighten us all.
Excellent summary of useful tips!
Am I the only one who finds M1 pro Macbooks extremely fast regardless of which settings you qre choosing?
How all computing devices should work, just boot it up, and use it, no settings tweaking at all.
Yeah I watched the cause I was curious but this the best computer I ever had I’m not messing with anything
Same. Just keeps humming along
For me it gets slow after a couple of weeks. Likely due to RAM leaks due to chromium apps 😅
Your not the only one. With the M1/M2 Pro and Max chips instead of trying forcing the Mac to use mainly the efficiency cores Apple tuned the chips to just cap the wattage to a point where they are still fast but are just more efficient. The performance drops but not by anywhere near the amount the M1 chip does. I can tell the difference personally when starting to push it, but it’s not massive.
That terminal command for purging memory is pretty useful. It purged about 10% of uneeded processes. It was fun watching that drop in iStat Menu.
This was really helpful. Thank you
You've done a great job here this way.
This was super helpful thank you!!!
Love this type of content! More please!
If on your WiFi router you set 5GHz to max power and 2.4GHz to half power (same name), then your Mac/phone will prefer 5GHz when in range but still seamlessly connect to 2.4GHz when far away or outside when 5GHz doesn't reach. Note that having multiple WiFi names causes AirPlay to disconnect every time it changes which WiFi name it's connected to, especially phones with WiFi Private Address turned on (default)
Thanks for the tip. I personally need my 2.4ghz to be full power because of smart home accessories that are far away which some of them still have a lower than I’d like signal even at full power, and of course most of these only support 2.4ghz.
opt+click wifi to see speed etc...brilliant! Thank you
I can tell you this guide is spot on.
very informative :) thanks
Option + wifi - thanks Max!
Good work !
wow thank you so much!!!
thanks man kepp it up
Hi, I asked in another post, if I have to buy a new Mac asap, coming from the Mac Pro 2019, what do u suggest I buy, given all you’ve announced coming in 2023, I need to buy the coming week…
Thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you Sir, you are a Prince amongst men!
Thnaks!
Thank you so much 🙏... I'am new to this ecosistem.
How do I enter that login screen on High Sierra? Is there similar video? I can't find it. There is completely different settings menu and I suspect something can be done to run it faster on my old MacBook air with 4 gigs of RAM.
i am actually watching this video with my m2 macbook air
thanks for this video
i actually bought my mac as per your opinion
I don't have an energy saver option on my macbook. It is quite old. How do I find it? I'm on Big Sur.
thanks, but I don't have options in "Energy mode" in my macbook air 2023, only "never" "always" "only on battery" "only on adapter...so...what should choose please? thanks
Thank you!
More like this, please.
You can also get a little performance boost by reducing your screen resolution and by turning off animations and high contrast on ur desktop.
Thank You
Tune Up that mac bay bay! ⚒️🛠️🔥
thank you!
Hello.
I have an issue with my airpods pro 1st gen. I’m experiencing static and crackling noise. My airpods are out of warranty but i came to know about the apple service program. Unfortunately it only applies to the AirPods manufactured before October 2020 and I purchased mine in October 2021. Is there any way to get my airpods repaired or replaced.
Hoping for your kind reply.
Will these help with an m2 Mac mini
I would also switch off Stage Manager (a new feature in Ventura). Goto Settings > Desktop & Dock, toggle off Stage Manager
If you set your Mac to restart at midnight, do your windows reopen? Also do you need to be on the computer at the time for it to do this?
How do you get the CPU temp in your menu bar?
great video !
restart schedule:
2:20 sudo pmset repeat restart MTWRFSU 00:00:00
2:28 pmset -g sched
Thanks man they really pushing them videos out beyond the 8 minute mark for them commercials 🫣
I tried to make this video as short as possible lol. At first it was 16 min and I had to cut it down to 11. If I could have made it 8 min I would have but I’d have to cut out certain things or not be able to explain as well which I already cut down.
@@MaxTechOfficial You did good! Lots of great suggestions in this one!
@@MaxTechOfficial Nah, you don't need to justify yourself. If you work this hard at putting out content, you deserve to make money out of it as well.
Cheers Bro.
m1y m1 air is very fast i have no issues in speed thank u tho for the video
if u switch to suck effect minimizing is faster than other two
Confusing: at 1:23 he says you can "uncheck Animate Opening Animations," yet there is no such feature on his computer screen (nor on my Mac Air running OS 11.7.10).
Where to find "Allow in Background" on Monterey?
I have inserted my password for the sudo purge and it won’t take it. Which password is it asking for? I inserted both the computer password and apple password and they are not working. Is there an extension that I need to add? Thanks!
What version of Mac OS are you using? Your battery settings look different to mine.
Same - I'm running on Ventura 13 and just chose never for low power mode
@@Jackoooloop9456 maybe he is using an M1 Max computer?
I have the 2020 M1 16gb ram unbelievably quick.
Can you make a vid on How to recover files after trash bin empty :)
I have a 2018 mac book pro and when I tried doing the sudo perge command, I got “command not found” message. Anyone else run into this? How to fix this?
i have a 2016 mac, it used to be so quick and now it's super slow. i know it's old- i desperately want a 2023/24 model but can't afford it
Mine does show "Energy Mode" on the Battery settings page, and yes my M1 Pro MBP is completely up-to-date.
same I have 14inch MBP M1 Pro from 2021 and it does not have energy mode. I wonder why?
@@CadetClueless Well at least I'm not the only one! That sucks though...I hope they respond to this.
Same…M1 MacBook Pro 16” up to date
Did u solve it?
One quibble with this video. You shouldn't have to restart unless absolutely necessary. macOS is built on UNIX. A lot of server farms run on UNIX-based operating systems because of outstanding stability and uptime. Most of the time, if you logout & log back in this will fix an issue. My 2013 MacBook Pro had 334 days uptime with no slowdowns. When its keyboard didn't work on wake one afternoon (a software bug at the time) I had to force a restart. If you're having an issue where you need to restart regularly there's a piece of software installed that's causing the issue.
It’s absolutely third party software and on some occasions bugs from new MacOS updates (for example my airdrop not working and crashing finder, which is fixed with a restart) If you just have the mac apps and use safari the experience is way better but for most people once they load up with third party apps some of them have issues. Another one I have is a motion VFX plugin that we use in most videos will randomly unconnected but only in the exported video while it looks perfectly fine in Final Cut. A restart also fixes this.
Can we add more SSD manually on mackbook pro 2017 with intel i5 chip? Is it safe?
yes it is safe
I can't display the energy modes, do you know the reason? In the first section there is Low Power Mode which is 'never' selected. then it continues with battery health then the figures, not modes. (MacBook Pro M2 14 inch 2023)
did you figure it out?
wallpaper 0:45 sec? thanks!
The Bonus tip is very confusing. You seem you zoom in on the wrong spot as the setting is not there. The setting is above. 1:18
Surprised you didn’t mention “Reduce Motion” in Accessibility-Display. I turned that on and it turns off all the animations making my Mac feel much more responsive.
Ok, unironically, I’m sorry, I don’t get it. You mean “reduce motion” makes a noticeable difference in performance on an M1 Mac? The same Mac that handles 8K footage smoothly?
Didn't he mention it?
@@thecaptainseye I said that “reduce motion” makes my Mac “feel” faster, not in terms of actual performance but rather faster interactions. It is my opinion. Others may find this to be true as well. I was just giving a tip for those who prefer less animations. Your response shows a lack of understanding in what I wrote. @Seek Each Day however understood my meaning as they clearly pointed out the key word used is “feel.”
@@amex4453 Nope. Just double checked.
@@christianmiller6804 No worries man, I wasn’t trying to be a smartass. It was a genuine question 😅 you have a point there, I will try Reduce Motion too
Who have a MacBook Air m2 8/256, please test how it working when opened 10 tabs in chrome and opened excel file 🙏🙏🙏
How fast is the internet there? Mine is 60mbs, the most i can get in my area. i didn't know 144mbs was sad lol
This channel feels like an eternal deja vu
What do you mean "restart mac"? I will soon reach a milestone of a half a year since last boot! Hell, I even manually rebooted the headphones driver when it felt funky
Also, logging out of all users with re-open tasks feature disabled should provide same result as reboot since critical processes (usually run by the root user) *shouldn't* be affected by your regular user. I mean, if they do, reboot won't help
Just downloaded AlDente, and set it to 60%. Done
Where can I find back ground apps on my Mac?
System settings/system preferences>general>login items. If it's older mac need to go into system preferences>users and groups>login items tab and click lock bottom left to unlock to make changes, choose item and click the minus icon below it to remove or move slider to left to turn off. You can still use those programs just won't be running 24/7 on startup.
PLEASE do time stamps
Oh I thought this would tell how to turn on Turbo Boost to enable all the 8 cores and M1 processors to max . 😩
Apple Silicon doesn’t have Turbo Boost. Doesn’t matter because in the Mac, their processors are way faster than Intel’s anyway. If you have a 16 inch Pro, however, there is a high power mode you can turn on to force it to clock higher (I believe 3.67 GHz vs 3.49 GHz).
terminal orders are awesome
Other !!! How to get rid of „other“ !! Kills me on phone iPad and Mac 😭😬
absolutely brilliant. I had no idea i was dragging around such crapola - nearly 2TB worth of junk of 20 years ago! My mac is now running 4x faster in all areas. Thank you MaxTech!!!
You don’t have to restart your Mac because it’s built on Unix. Only way you have to restart is when you have a major issue. And now with Apple silicone you don’t have to worry.
While it is built on Unix, we still have issues mostly with third party software and plugins that mess stuff up. I’ve replied to a few other comments about this with more detail.
You should warn people about how they can easily get an iCloud Disk (Archive) folder with all their iCloud files taking up a ton of space.
sick
That’s why having a Macbook is extremly enoying. You never finish setting it up. I’m seriously thinking in going back to Windows. I’ m having a KATARSIS right now….
puting mac guard in 14 inch m1 pro is worth it
My Mac is so slow it doesn’t open settings 😭😭😭
Mine takes about 5 mins for settings to open 😂. These CZcams videos have their Mac on super power fast...its hard to even listen to them let alone follow them
Why did blud just leak his own IP Address??
Those things can help but U still need to restart Ur computer coz of memory leaks.
🤔🤔🤔💯👍👍👍
Nothing from above makes your Mac actually faster, except the battery option. Everything else is just a clean-up and optimize thing. Plus, what's hidden here? :)
Literally took me 10 minute just to log in and probably gonna take me an hour just to try and fix the laptop
Not first with the comment, but nice tips. Thanks :)
him: 144 mbs, that is SAD!!
me: crying with my 55 mbs
auto restart every night seems like a great way to accidentally lose a lot of unsaved work.
woah so in other words does it mean they are listening I the background and I should leave it
Thanks for the advice, but I've been using Apple computers since 1994 and I can say that the Sonoma system is the most screwed-up and most buggy operating system in Apple's history. We don't spend thousands of dollars to sit and waste several hours a day repairing the system or fiddling with settings to make, for example, the external drive visible, the external monitor working, the email application working, etc. The idea of Apple died with Steve Jobs.
“iCloud Photos being on takes up space” uhhh no the point of photos being stored in the cloud is it won’t take up space locally
If it's stored on your photo library on your mac
0:42 not hidden so far or any click shift while you click this or else nothing happen lol "hidden" mean
i see that its not hidden
Mine is running sluggish as hell. And this is even after taking in the the Genius Bar for apple techs to fix the problem.
I can’t stand these new preferences, wish they would bring back the old preferences, or have an option to let you choose. I have an iPad, I don’t need you to make computer an iPad to.
hiddedn with command you could not know or hidden that found on settings not hidden at all
no way am i restarting my mac, that shouldn't be a thing. Uptime FTW
Battery cycles for the loss
Your mac is slow because you install every update. My m1 mba is a bullet and still rocking Big Sur
You don’t have to periodically restart your mac. It is not a windows computer.
Software for cleaning junk in mac app
I only restart the mac when there is an update. There is no need for daily restarts. MacOS has its own clean-up processes that are much better then all if you do it by yourself.
max you should probably blur ur ip adress to prevent ddos attacks
