| Fix Your Macbook |
Okay, so yesterday, I was looking for something new to write about. I was looking to see if there was a problem Apple users were facing. I stumbled across a forum that was talking about Macbooks running slow. If you are having this problem, I know it can be annoying. We like things quick! If we are searching for information, we want it now. When you're used to working at a certain level and now you can't, that can be aggravating. Luckily, this forum also had a way to fix your Macbook if it's running slow.
The Explanation
I'm including the explanation first so you can verify your symptoms before using the fix. If your CPU idle % is low, like significantly below 80%, there is a good chance a process is draining your CPU. You can verify this using Activity Monitor. To open Activity Monitor, use one of these options:
Option 1
- Click Launchpad on the dock
- Click Other
- Then select Activity Monitor
- Select CPU and view the % idle
Option 2
- On the top toolbar, select Go
- Then Utilities
- Then select Activity Monitor
- Select CPU and view the % idle
The Fix
- Turn off your Macbook and plug the power cord into a wall outlet.
- Hold down the left Shift, Control, Option, and Power buttons for 10 seconds. The Macbook should remain off during this time.
- Then, release the buttons and power on the Macbook.
This is a simple fix for a problem that could complicate you life. Hopefully, this tip will remedy your slow Macbook problems so you can get back to being productive.
