How To Speed Up Your Mac

When you add more files, Spotlight creates and updates its indexes so, it will be easier when you search for files on your mac. The downside is, it always perform this and slows your computer. To speed things up, you can exclude folders, files, for indexing:

System Preferences->Spotlight or, Launchpad and click the Preferences icon.

Click Search Results tab, and uncheck all that you don’t usually search for.

Then, click the Privacy tab and click the plus (+) icon and choose folders you want to exclude for Spotlight to index. If you exclude more folders, the system will be much faster.

Need For Speed!

The New Boston website is created by Bucky Roberts, which I learned some time ago when learning Objective-C.

Download Lion Recovery Disk Assistant To Fix Your Mac And Your Life

About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant (From Apple.com Support)

Built right into OS X Lion, Lion Recovery lets you repair disks or reinstall OS X Lion without the need for a physical disc.

The Lion Recovery Disk Assistant lets you create Lion Recovery on an external drive that has all of the same capabilities as the built-in Lion Recovery: reinstall Lion, repair the disk using Disk Utility, restore from a Time Machine backup, or browse the web with Safari.

Note: In order to create an external Lion Recovery using the Lion Recovery Assistant, the Mac must have an existing Recovery HD.

To create an external Lion Recovery, download the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant application. Insert an external drive, launch the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant,  select the drive where you would like to install, and follow the on screen instructions.

When the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant completes, the new partition will not be visible in the Finder or Disk Utility. To access Lion Recovery, reboot the computer while holding the Option key. Select Recovery HD from the Startup Manager. 

For detailed information on this update, please visit: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.
