How can I speed up my Mac? (link)

Tips to speedup a your Mac computer

 

The best way to speedup sluggish Mac computer is to rebuild it.   Wipe the hard drive and reinstall the programs and your data.  It's just like rebuilding a car engine, but like a car, that may involve a lot of work.  If you have a full backup using TimeMachine you can wipe the hard drive, reload the Snow Leopard OS and then restore everything back to the same setup with TimeMachine and the program 'Migrate' found in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder.  

 

There are simpler ways to cleanup your Mac, though not as effective.   You can run some simple maintenance programs.  The simplest is actually built into the Mac already.  One for the OS and one for MS Office.

 

For MS Office, follow this path:

Hard drive > Applications > MicroSoft Office 2011 > Office > Microsoft Database Utility.app

 

Select the "repair data base" option and run the utility.   It is the first fix to help clear up any issues you maybe having with MS Office.

 

Next is 'Drive Utility' - located on this path;

Hard drive > Applications > Utilities > "Drive Utility"  after opening, select the hard drive in the left column and "Repair Disk Permissions".   If you boot from an original DVD, you can also "Repair Disk".

 

The next step to cleanup a Mac, is to dump caches that slow up systems and browsers.  It can be done manually if you know where to find all the caches, but it's better if you use a good Utility program.  These programs do not come with the Mac and must be bought separately.   One of the best, and it's free, is ONYX.   Check the link below and download the one for your system.

 

http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php?sid=06565bec047f1e1cb2c0a7bbe12dacd0

 

The last way to clean things up is to do the defrag like you mentioned. It's not built into the Mac because Apple says you don't need it.  The Mac OS is designed to keep things defragged automatically.  I have run it on some very fragmented machines and have found it to help with varying success.  Several programs will defrag a Mac.  The one is use is called iDefrag, (www.coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php  -$60).

 

If you really want to speed up your Mac, new hardware is one of the best options but obvious cost bigger bucks.   Max out the Ram memory to 4GB or better if your computer will hold it.   The upgrade that really improves the speed the most, is replacing older hard drives with the new Solid State hard drives.  They are all digital with no moving parts and make the laptop run unto 4 times faster.  The big draw back is that they are expensive and so we are only buying small sizes ones for now.   The biggest one we are using now is 120GB and they go for about $200.   But that price should go down with time.

How do I set the region on a Macintosh computer? (link)

Assuming you're talking about the region for the DVD device, it's a difficult question to answer. The only real way to set it is to insert a disc into the optical drive and wait for the regional interface to appear, and then select your region. I do believe, however, that the region can only be changed so many times before it becomes locked in place. Alternatively, you can download a piece of software known as VLC Media Player, which ignores the region protocol and will allow you to play media from any region so long as you have it set to the default media player instead of Apple's DVD Player.

Why do authenticated forms embedded in unauthenticated web pages display a 401 Access Denied error using Firefox 40? (link)

Version 40 of Firefox intentionally disables authenticated content embedded in unauthenticated web pages if the page and content are in different domains. 

This can be manually fixed by:

  • typing “about:config” in the address bar
  • clicking “I’ll be careful, I promise!”
  • searching for the Preference Name:  network.auth.allow-subresource-auth
  • Click the “1” next to that in the Value column and change to “2”
  • click OK. 

Once you refresh the page it will prompt for login.

How does an administrative assistant access and use Datatel to find course and student information in order to support their department and its faculty members? (link)

If you need access to Colleague, please go to https://managementtools.wlu.edu/AccessRequest/ and request an account. Once the proper approvals are granted, an account will be set up for you. Accounts are set up on an individual basis and they should not be shared with anyone. In most cases, when dealing with course and student information, the Registrar’s office will provide some level of training or guidance on how to access the data you require.

 

 

If you already have access to Colleague but cannot remember your login information or have issues accessing the system, go to http://webhelpdesk.wlu.edu and create a ticket under the category of Administrative Data – Colleague Issues/Requests. Once submitted, the ticket will be automatically routed to the appropriate person who can help you resolve problems.
