Slow Mac

  1. Evening all

    any Mac clever folks here? I have what can only be described as a very pedestrian Mac, I use it predominantly for music (maybe 500 ish albums on iTunes) and photos (about 12000+) but every thing is soooo slow.


    any bright ideas why this may be and what I can do about it?

    TIA

  2. Google Big Sur slowing Mac for instructions that may improve things.
     
  3. If it’s old Mac and that’s new os it gets ruined. My old Mac is two os back.
     
  4. so could I roll it back?
     
  5. I’d imagine so. Google is your friend :upyeah:

  6. I had this problem, your Mac is constantly wanting to sync with the iCloud and if you’re iCloud storage is full it basically gets stuck and your Mac will go really slow. If that’s the case buy a portable hard drive and move loads of your old photos etc / non vital info on to that, delete from the Mac & cloud and your Mac should run like it was new again
