Regularly backup your file
Generally, when the storage of your device gets full, it starts lagging. Imagine you need to do urgent work, but your Mac won’t support you. It’ll be a daytime nightmare!
You don’t have to face such a situation. It is advisable to keep the space in your Mac free (at least 10% of the disk space). How? You can create backup files in cloud storage, USB, or hard drive and delete unnecessary folders. This way, you’ll be able to free up some space, and your Mac will start running fast just like when you bought it.
Don’t forget to clear the cache
Talking about clearing Mac space, people tend to forget clearing the junk and cache files. Later it affects the processing of the device. If you don’t know how to remove it, various websites on the internet can provide you with good tips and techniques to clear the cache. There are three types of cache in Mac: System cache, Browser cache, and App cache. So make sure that you’ve deleted all the files.
Protection against malware
One of the myths about Mac is that it is not vulnerable to malware and viruses. That is the reason why most Mac users do not install anti-malware or antivirus software. However, once any virus enters your device, it will affect the processing of the system.
That’s why, to protect your Mac from every virus and threat, you should install antivirus software. It will help in detecting any harmful files and will safeguard the device by restricting the downloads.
Keep your system software up-to-date
Last but most importantly, always update your system software. Usually, software updates fix the bugs and help smooth functioning, eventually making it easy to work efficiently. To update the software:
- Go to system preferences
- Select the software update icon
- Click the update now button (if update are available)
That’s it! Your Mac will be good to go.
Conclusion
There will be times when you are in a hurry and need to submit quality work. In such a scenario, Mac becomes your best friend that’ll help you. However, to ensure that this best friend stays with you for a long time, you need to take care of it by updating it regularly, keeping backup and clearing cache, and making space.
