hey all,
Is there a way I could like do a reset of my MacBook so its fast again? It doesn't run as fast as it used to. Its about 3-4 years old. Sometimes when it starts up, it freezes for like 4-5 seconds.
I know its not hardware but most likely tons of apps installed and more apps opening up...
For the 2019 iMac, anyone has any idea if that is true? I remember someone posted when Mac mini came out that the larger the SDD the faster it is. I wonder if that also is the case for iMac? If so, by how much?
Thanks!
I demo'd a 15 inch MBP today in store.

I'm in the market for a new MacBook Pro (though I may wait a couple of months to see if a 16" model materialises). My budget is yet to be decided but will exceed the entry price of the current 15" model.
So, given a starting point of current base 15" MacBook Pro:
Processor: 2.6GHz 6-core...
I’m currently in a little dilemma between what iMac to buy. It has to be a 27inch 5k.
Which of these is better;
Brand new 2019 3.0GHz 6-Core Processor with Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz, 1TB Storage, 8GB Ram, Radeon Pro 570X with 4GB of GDDR5 memory
Or
Pre-owned Late 2015 4.0GHz Core i7 Quad...
I’ve found the Tip:- ATI Rage 128 in Leopard thread to be one of the more invaluable finds when optimizing the very best from older PPC equipment bundled with that video card. It’s why I have, for instance, the Jaguar kexts active for the ATI Rage 128 card in my iBook G3 466 running Tiger.

Hey guys!
I'm choosing a new MacBook and persist in a quiet a confusion after several days of reading and thinking. :)
I choose between 2018 rMBA and 2018 13' tbMBP. And specific configurations.

My wife has a late 2013 21.5" iMac with 2.7 GHz Core i5, 8GB memory, Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB graphics, and a 1 GB 5400 RPM hard drive (25% used). It's gotten slower and slower over the years, but has always been sluggish. I remember being disappointed when we bought it.
I was about to buy a new...
Hi,

would you recommend updating ?
any other pointers? (I heard about some issues with font clarity...)

Hi everyone,
I have come across a very good and limited (5 units) sale for an almost new MBP 2018 with 8GB of RAM. I'd aim for 16GB, but the deal I can get is only for the base Touchbar model (but with 512GB storage).
I know a lot of you guys know more about this stuff than I do, so I really...
I'm finding Safari on Mojave very nearly useless on some sites like YouTube. Slowness in page redraws, mainly. Long waits for items to appear. Like I'm on dial-up in 1998 or something.
I've cleared the cache and reset Safari. I've tried turning iCloud syncing off and on again. Disabled...
I have a Mac mini 2009 late, this is also my first Mac. I upgrade it from Maverick to El Capitan, I think its speed is too slow and I want to know:
If I clean install El Capitan again, will the speed be faster than now in general?
Thought I’d try asking in the iPhone forum:

I'm doing an initial Backblaze backup of around 6TB total. After 2 weeks of non-stop backing up, it's completed 1.3TB or 650GB / week.
If it doesn't speed up, it will take roughly 2 months total or 6 more weeks for my initial backup to complete. My performance settings are:
