#ON HOW MANY COMPUTERS CAN YOU INSTALL KORG GADGET FOR MAC MAC#
Start using your Mac as you would typically, and if the Memory Pressure graph on recent OSs isn’t looking full, you don’t need more RAM on earlier systems, if the pie chart of RAM use shows mostly green and blue, the amount of RAM you have is “cool” if it’s mostly red and yellow, you’re in hot water, and need to add more. If you’re trying to run many, complex apps at once, your Mac might struggle. If you don’t recognize a process, Google it it might be a background app that’s run rogue.Īctivity Monitor will also show you pressure on your memory (RAM). This will show you what applications are demanding the most from your main processor (CPU) click the %CPU column header to sort by this, and ensure you’ve selected All Processes from the View menu. So your first diagnostic step is to launch Activity Monitor (/Applications/Utilities) and see where the pinch points are. Like a doctor, you need to understand why your Mac is sluggish before blundering in with treatments. What follows is tried-and-tested pragmatic advice to keep your Mac happily and gainfully employed for many years to come. This isn’t about those wacky, cutesy projects to turn your iMac G3 into a fish tank or a Cube into a tissue dispenser, and nor is it about celebrating the zen of using an old, slow Mac that’s cut off from the Internet as a distraction-free writing tool, though there’s nothing wrong with any of that. There is a lot you can do to breathe new life into your aging computer to extend its useful life, and though some cost money-albeit vastly less money than it would take to buy a new Mac-many are free.
Unlike with our stupid, weak-willed bodies, though, we don’t have to accept our Macs’ slowing down and eventual obsolescence as a crashing inevitability. Your Mac gets a bit slow and creaky as it gets older, and we can probably all identify with that.
