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.

What can you tell me (student) about the 911 service? (link)

W&L’s system is linked directly to the area Emergency 911 notification system. 911 should only be used in life threatening situations. Minor emergency calls should be placed to University Security at 8999 from any W&L extension. You may place a call to E-911 by dialing 9+911. In most cases, the E-911 dispatcher will see the phone number you are dialing from and your location on their dispatch screen.

If you accidentally dial 911, please don’t hang up. Simply identify yourself and tell them there is no emergency at your location. There are cases when 911 is accidentally dialed, especially on international calls which require a 9-0-11 prefix or when using a fax machine. If you hang up, the 911 dispatcher is obligated to pursue the call to try to determine if there is an actual emergency.

Be sure to dial carefully. If you unintentionally contact a 911 dispatcher, please explain your mistake to them and you will have played an important role in making the system work properly (and you won’t be responsible for emergency crews rolling up to your dorm on a false alarm).

What are the rules and regulations for me (student) using the phones? (link)

• You will be billed for unanswered long distance calls if you listen to a ring or busy signal for 30 seconds or more (approximately 4 rings) after completion of dialing. You will be charged for a one minute call. Credit will not be issued for these calls.
• Students must not bill calls directly to their residence hall telephone number (i.e., accepting collect calls and third party calls). The cost of the call plus a handling fee of $20.00 will be charged to the extension to which the call has been billed.
• University telephones must not be removed from their assigned locations. The ROLM-phone will not work with any other system. The actual cost to replace a missing phone or phones damaged beyond repair will be charged to resident of the room. Phones will not be replaced until a report has been filed with the Telecommunications Office.
• If you damage or deface your phone, a charge for damages, time, and materials will be made against your account for any repairs (usually a minimum of $50).
• Students must keep the phones plugged in at all times. If a phone is detected unplugged, a $5.00 fee will be charged. Unplugged phones create problems for our system. The Do Not Disturb (DND) feature has been provided to help you avoid this fee.
• Be aware that some 800 number calls convert to toll calls (900 number). If you connect with one of these numbers, the cost of the call will be passed along to you. Direct dialing of 900 number services is blocked in our system.
• If your authorization code is lost or stolen, or if for any reason you feel the security of this number has been compromised, immediately contact W&L's Telecommunications Office in person. You will be responsible for all calls made prior to your notification in person. Because of the serious nature of the loss of an authorization code, if the Telecommunications Office is closed, you should contact University Security immediately.

What can you tell me (student) about using other long distance carriers? (link)

The University's long distance carrier is BTI. If you elect not to use the University's system, you will need to acquire a calling card from the carrier of your choice for the placement of long distance calls. Access to alternate carriers is available through the W&L system by dialing the carriers "800" access numbers. You may also reach an alternate carrier by dialing 9 + 1010xxx + 0 + phone number (for example, to access AT&T using this method you would dial 9 + 1010288 + 0 + phone number). Contact your carrier for their three digit code and rates.

Washington and Lee University does not charge residents for the alternate carrier access described above. You must have an existing calling/credit card arrangement with the alternate carrier and must not associate that account with your local number nor allow charges to be billed to your local number. A substantial service fee will be assessed for all calls billed back to W&L numbers.

If you find that you cannot dial the alternate carrier of your choice from within the W&L system, please contact the Telecommunications Office. telcom@wlu.edu

    What can you tell me about my (student) phone in my campus residence? (link)

    If your campus residence is in the dorms, apartments, or sororities, your phone is already installed and ready for use. It is a Rolm 120 digital phone with the following features:

    • Single-line digital telephone with 12 special function buttons
    • Eight common function buttons (hold, connect, transfer, volume up, volume down, flash, DND, message waiting)
    • One button to indicate line is in use
    • One-way speaker (you can hear but not speak)
    • Two spare buttons to access many other options
    • Four-digit dialing on campus
    • PhoneMail (Rolm's voice mail)
    • Do Not Disturb (DND) feature

    If you reside in one of the fraternities, you will need to provide your own phone for your room. Since the phone lines in the fraternities are analog, a normal single line phone like you have at home is all you need (older rotary phones will not work on this system). However, in order to more easily take advantage of some of the system features, it will be beneficial to have a phone that has a "FLASH" button on it, but it is not required.

    What can you tell me (student) about long distance service phone in my campus residence? (link)

    Placement of outgoing long distance calls requires the use of your personal 7-digit authorization code. Your long distance code will be in you WebAdvisor account . No deposit is required for long distance service. No subscription fee or monthly service fee will be charged for an authorization code.

    You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your authorization code and you will be responsible for all calls placed with your authorization code. If your authorization code is lost or stolen, or if for any reason you feel the security of this number has been compromised, immediately contact the W&L Telecommunications Office in person. Because of the serious nature of the loss of an authorization code, if the Telecommunications Office is closed, you should contact University Security immediately at 8999.

    Since your telephone service is provided by the University, you may not subscribe to any "residential" long distance plan offered by another long distance carrier. However, you may obtain access to the interstate common carrier of your choice by establishing a calling card account with them and dialing the carrier's "800" access number. You may also reach an alternate carrier by dialing 9 + 1010xxx + 0 + phone number (for example, to access AT&T using this method, you would dial 9 + 1010288 + 0 + phone number). Contact your carrier for their three digit code and rates. Be aware that many advertised calling cards have per call surcharges or monthly fees associated with them, so read the fine print before committing to any of these services. Please remember that your alternate carrier calling card account can't be associated with your W&L phone system telephone number. A substantial service fee will be charged for calls billed back to your W&L telephone number. For more information, contact the Telecommunications Office.

    Complaints related to operator services from any carrier may be addressed to: FCC, Common Carrier Bureau Enforcement Division, 2025 M Street NW, Washington DC, 20554.
