New user or old user does not really matter. The Apple MacBook has its mysteries and surprises for all of us. For instance, I own a MacBook for two years now and I don’t think I have discovered all that it’s capable of. Or how to maintain it so that I won’t have problems with it in the future. One problem I’m dealing with, and from what I have seen on tech forums others do to, is memory. How do we free up memory on our MacBook so that we won’t have to keep a lot of useless data or programs we don’t need anymore and keep its efficiency to maximum?

Although Mac OS X is very good, it isn’t infallible. People often tend to forget that heavy web pages or massive inboxes absorb free memory. If you are a rookie when it comes to using a MacBook and you don’t know what to do with data you don’t want anymore, just click the item you wish to delete and drag & drop it in Trash. When your Trash can is full and it’s time for emptying it, click Finder and choose from menu “Empty Trash”. Alternatively, you can do something rather simple like watching the Activity Monitor. There you can see how much free space you have, CPU activity etc. Anything that may appear excessive to you means that you might have a problem. Another option that is easy to do and doesn’t take a lot of time is searching for Disk Utility, then clicking on Repair Disk Permissions. You can do that on a regular basis.

You should know that Mac OS X doesn’t use a registry like Windows does, for example. All files related with the application are stored in the same folder as the application. The closest thing to a registry that Mac OS has is Preferences, which you should check and delete every Preference file related to an application you have previously deleted. It is very important to be careful not deleting any Preference file if you don’t know the program they are related with. Go through your list of emails and delete the one that aren’t important, clear Spam and Trash folder daily and clean our your browser cache regularly.

For older users, freeing up memory on MacBooks brings them a number of possibilities. Various programs can help you maintain you Mac. For example, you can use AppleJack for clearing out user cache and for finding corrupt preferences; AppZapper to get rid of application you don’t use anymore or Onyx to keep your log files in order. Other options are DiskWarrior and Cocktail, but remember that these are paid applications.

If you have enough memory and you want to add more, you should know some basic things about installing and removing memory on a Mac. When adding memory, you need to know the memory specifications suited to your type of Mac. If you don’t know them by heart, you can find them on Apple’s homepage at Support section.

First, shut down you MacBook, then let its internal components cool down for about ten minutes. Disconnect every cord to prevent damaging you computer. Then turn your computer upside down and remove the eight screws securing the bottom case. Try to avoid touching the internal components and discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a metal surface inside. Remove the original memory by pushing the ejection levers on each side. Be careful not to touch the gold connectors. Tilt the new memory card and push it into the memory slot. Repeat the process to install the secondary memory and press. Both of them should be parallel to each other. Finally, replace the bottom case.

If you can’t find the precise answer you need for how do we free up memory on our MacBook, you can always phone dial one of Apple’s experts to give you assistance.
