How to optimize a Mac: Helpful Instructions.

Imagine are during the culmination of certain immediate process and suddenly MacBook stops. What is the possible solution? Contrary to the generally accepted idea, MacBook users indeed have to deal with random stops during normal course of action. The pattern of freezes is not subject to obvious algorithm. Reportedly, currently experienced problems tend to be significantly worse and can occur to any MacBook after which the system getting not usable. Exact nature of freezing is still unclear and your MacBook might stop at any moment.

Thought an exact cause is not discovered this far, that problem is likely due to significant problems with integration of modern application versions delivered by Apple with existing hardware. Among the possible workarounds to solve mentioned inconvenience are described below.
MAIN APPROACHES TO FIXING OF MACINTOSH FREEZE 
Try following simple fixes to resolve the problem of freezing:
Boot MacBook using “safe” mode: Macintosh slowing issues may root from some noon-integrated outsource extensions. To to verify this hypothesis, you should boot Mac in “safe mode”, which prevents these third-party software modules from activating while the system starts.
Reproach Software Setup When Running In “safemode”: To complete the task, attempt eliminating the programs one by one and then check whether this fixes the issue. Most of described problems tend to occur with software which utilize network algorithms to synchronize. A user account can also be a reason for software problems, so set another registration, before another testing of software. If the inconvenience continues, try reinstalling affected applications.
Perform Macintosh Boot Recovery Sequence: Those are:

• Downgrading to previous Operational System version • Making an “archive & install” check • Repartitioning and reformatting the hard drive

FIXES INTENDED FOR MACINTOSH FREEZES WHEN SCREEN IS DOWN 
Sometimes a Mac freezes while its lid is closed. You may close that screen in case you put laptop to sleep, or if when you are not working. The issue may be rooted in new mode that MacBooks implement, known as Safe Sleep, where Macbook sends the contents of your RAM to the hard drive. This is in fact an indigenous safety measure applied to those latest MacBooks; if energy source dies down completely when the stays Safe Sleep mode, the machine can still start over from the last recorded state as soon as you restart it.
In fact, this safety measure is not useful, due to the fact that it significantly freezes the sequence of falling asleep of a computer. To illustrate this we can say that, on a Macintosh possessing 4096 Mb random access memory, recording 2048 Mb information pack to the hard drive is going to require a little while. This also means that that laptop must use no less than 2048 Mb of additional disk space on the drive to record the data every time.
Additionally, when in earlier described Safe Sleep mode, a so –called sleeping light turns on, and doesn’t pulse. If that light changes brightness, you may be sure the MacBook stays active. If the light shines constantly, same way as in Safe Sleep mode, the processors work at full speed capacity. Laptop gets very overheated. Placing it into a bag in this condition may seriously shorten the lifespan of the machine.
This is the reason why we must discuss whether the Safe Sleep mode is really a valuable feature for your MacBook. This mechanism saves the machine in the event of battery depletion. Supposed you can timely make sure that this can’t does not appear, you may for sure turn off the Safe sleep.
TURNING OFF SLEEPING MODE 
Do the following tasks to disable the “safe sleep” forever:

1. Input these two commands using the Terminal, and press the Return button: Sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0 ” sudo nvram "use-nvramrc?"=false”

The Safe Sleep mode is turned-off.
RECLAIMING THE MAIN DISK CAPACITY TAKEN BY THE “SAFE SLEEP” REGIME 

You should to locate and delete precisely that folder that holds data which your computer writes to your main drive from your RAM when in Safe Sleep mode. You can easily delete this file, and save your MacBook certain amount of valuable data capacity. The name of the directory is “SleepImage”.

In order to utilize this space, perform the following:

1. In the Go menu, launch the Finder tool, and choose the Go To Folder. 2. Type such orders using the “prompt” and hit Return button: "/var/vm" (with brackets) 3. Find the directory named SleepImage. 4. Remove this file after which make empty your ”trash” folder to release data storage place
