YES, GARY, YOU WERE RIGHT!!!! My MacBook Pro was running super slow, with the dock icons jumping up and down without launching the apps, or the wheel turning for ever not getting anywhere, or freezing at random for no reason. Apple Tech Support made me do a lot of tests and reinstall the operating system without any improvement. After watching this video I deleted an antivirus I had installed and one of those cleaner apps and now it runs as fast as new.

Another very helpful video. Excellent point about calling your ISP. I did this recently, and after an hour on the phone, I ended up with a better cable package, faster internet speed, and they shipped me a new modem. And the plus? Saved $20 a month! BTW, I find this approach often works in other areas of life - subscriptions, insurance, etc. As you point out, companies are more than happy to let you pay higher rates, so calling periodically to ask for a better deal is often well worth your time.

Excelent video and advise, thank you. However, my experience with newer OS versions is bitter then you are describing, so to me that is not a myth. Experienced it first hand when I would have to deal with thermal throttling. My CPU would stay in idle at 75-80 degrees Celsius. Downgraded the OS and idle temp came down to 37 and it made the computer perform amazing fast.

I use a 2017 MacBook Pro. I had problems with some USB connected items so I replaced the cheap USB hub with a USB dock. This solved the problems and also improved internet speed (It included an ethernet port). Also, it dramatically reduced the fan noise. I had previous problems with overheating and had the battery replaced and the case which had warped (all done free at the Apple shop where I bought it 3 years prior). Just to mention therefore that a good USB dock might be worth a try. I'll definitely upgrade my old router following this video, many thanks!

I'm one of those people who has always shut down my MacBook Pro (2017) when I am done using it. If I decide to let it "go to sleep" by just closing the lid, should I keep it plugged in overnight? You mention that some maintenance tasks go on in the background when the MacBook is asleep, so I'm wondering if it should be plugged in during that time.

He says nothing like that. He DOES explain why older equipment sometimes can't work as well, and also correctly points out that 10 year old machines are being hit with tasks that weren't even imagined when they were designed. This is one of the best such tutorials I've seen, and your 11-word slam is a rude, uninformed, and inappropriate distortion of 14 minutes of really great content. I especially appreciated how he accompanies his explanation with on-screen examples in real time. What's the point of making such a mean, unhelpful comment?

I'm curious what others pay for their internet service. i'm in NY and in my area can only get a "triple play" that includes internet, TV and land phone- ugh-it is very expensive. There are only two major companies offered- and each doubles it's costs and then continues to increase after 2 years.
@pineappleroad

I feel glad that in the country where I live, in some cases you can go with different companies for landline and internet, although not all companies will offer those two separately, and TV is entirely optional, as such a thing exists as "Freeview" (although to even have a TV connected to an ariel, a TV licence fee has to be payed, which the fee is currently £157.50 per year, and the only way to avoid paying that fee is to not have any equipment connected such that it could even theoretically receive Live TV broadcasts, and also you wouldn't be able to watch catch up on BBC iplayer, although interestingly you can watch catch up for any of the other free to view channels, just not the BBC ones, without a TV licence)

@@alexanderdelacruz9249 there are quite a few videos on KZitem on how to do this. Personally I lie the iMac face down on a soft towel then I use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow attachment to clean the slots along the bottom. There are other slots under the hinged stand as well. If it is really dirty you may have to use a plastic knife and compressed air to free up the slots. It is also worth taking the cover off the memory compartment and blowing the dust off that. One important thing is never vacuum electrical circuitry always blow he dust away. If you have temperature monitoring software such as Mac fan control you will se the temps drop as soon as you turn the Mac back on. Don't be tempted to adjust fan speed with utility apps always let the iMac do this itself. Hope this helps🌬️

You have one of the last models where you can add RAM. Today's Macs have the memory fixed in the machine and you can't change it. But today's Macs also manage memory extremely efficiently and have super fast SSDs for swap memory. Your older iMac probably has a HDD which makes memory swapping much slower.
