You’ll need an external hard drive, but once you set up Time Machine the rest is very simple and automatic backups occur without any effort.
By far the simplest back up solution for Macs is Time Machine. Not only will you be able to quickly recover from potential disasters, but keeping your files backed up is just good practice. Performing regular backups is essential Mac maintenance. If you can’t remember to do it yourself, there are apps that will automatically clean it for you by moving files and folders to a designated place at a regular interval. The best solution is to get in the habit of filing things off the desktop and into appropriate folders, but if you can’t be bothered to do that than just grab all files and move them into a single directory and deal with it later. This is because each file and its icon preview take up RAM and resources, and the less RAM you have the more you’ll notice the sluggishness resulting from a cluttered desktop. The slowdown is less noticeable on the newest and beefiest Macs, but nonetheless it still happens.
#DISK AID UPDATE UPDATE#
With OS X Mountain Lion and newer Software Update moves to the Mac App Store so this whole process will be automated for modern OS X users, including El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks.īelieve it or not, having a lot of files on the desktop will actually slow down a Mac. Software Update will check for updates once a week by default, but the Mac App Store has to be manually checked for updates in OS X Lion. Updates can come in the form of general bug fixes, feature enhancements, and security fixes, and it’s so easy to do there is no excuse not to. Periodically run Software Update from the Apple menu, and periodically check the Mac App Store for updates of your apps there too. Keeping your Mac software up to date is vital. If any errors are found, they’ll appear in red, and thankfully Disk Utility is usually more than capable of handling such repairs on it’s own. Be sure to run Verify Disk not only on the drive itself (physical drive name), but also the boot partition (Macintosh HD). This will be necessary if bad blocks are found or if the drive is corrupt. While you can verify the boot volume at any time, the best way to repair the boot disk is to boot from the recovery partition by holding down Command+R and running Disk Utility from there. This is probably the most important thing to do with Disk Utility. Nonetheless, it’s still a good procedure to periodically run, especially after installing or uninstalling a bunch of applications. Repairing permissions is good practice, though it’s never the cure-all that so many claim it to be. Disk Utility is included on all Macs and found in the /Applications/Utilities folder, the two necessary procedures will be under the “First Aid” tab and can be run one after another.
