Most of the reasons why Apple computers are sought after by the public are her efficient running speed, which brings us great convenience. But have you found that after a few years, your Apple computer is not running as fast as before? What Are the Reasons for Slowing down Apple Computers? What should I do if the Apple computer slows down? The editor will analyze the reasons and solutions that affect the running speed of Apple computers with you today.
1. What are the reasons for the slowdown of Apple computers?
Before looking for a solution to "mac running slow", first analyze what causes the mac to run slowly. Typically, there are several factors that cause your mac to run slower:
1. The macOS system is too old
If you are still using an old version of OS X, it may be one of the culprits that cause the mac to run slowly, which is one of the reasons why Apple basically releases a new operating system every year.
2. Running out of memory
The size of the running memory is related to the overall running speed of the computer. If the system runs out of memory, when we open multiple programs at the same time, the computer will slow down.
3. Insufficient storage space
Insufficient storage space is one of the major factors that slow down the Mac. The various instructions we issue to the computer need to use cache space. If there is too little available space, the system needs to continuously delete cache files, resulting in slow operation.
4. Too many programs running in the background
When you have too many programs running in the background, Apple can't handle tasks quickly.
2. What to do if the Apple computer slows down
Based on the above analysis reasons, the editor has found different solutions for everyone.
1. Regularly update the OS X operating system. Updating the operating system is a good way to speed up the operation of the mac. After the update, you will find that the performance has been greatly improved.
2. Insufficient memory capacity or insufficient storage space, we can solve it by cleaning up system junk, software cache and useless files.

Second, open the software and choose to scan "system junk". The system garbage of the computer includes the cache generated by the user's access to the software, the log files of the system operation, and the cache files. These cache files are of little use to the operation of the system, but occupy a large amount of storage space. Use CleanMyMac X's system garbage cleaning function to delete these "useless files" with one click.
Third, after the scan is over, we can click "Clean" to delete all junk files directly. If the user wants to know which files will be cleaned up, we can click "View Details" to keep software caches, cached video files, etc. that do not want to be deleted.
Fourth, select Scan and empty the Trash. Maybe most users don’t have the habit of emptying the trash at any time, thinking that throwing unused documents directly into the trash can complete the deletion work. The actual situation is that the files kept in the trash still occupy our storage space, only Clearing the trash can actually delete files and free up storage space.
3. Close background programs and release system memory. To solve insufficient memory, you can use the "Maintenance" function of CleanMyMac X. Click the "Maintenance" function, check the release RAM here, you can release the memory with one click, and ensure the running speed of the mac at all times.

3. At this point, the file has been added to the shredder. Before shredding, you can also choose "remove immediately" or "remove safely".
Four. Summary
This article introduces the reasons why the Apple computer is slow, and what to do if the Apple computer is slow. We can use CleanMyMac X to regularly clean up system junk and release memory. In addition, if you want to shred your Apple computer files, you can use its shredder function to ensure that private files will not be recovered.
