7 Easy Ways to Restore Your Computer’s Health



7 Easy Ways to Restore Your Computer’s Health


7 Easy Ways to Restore Your Computer’s Health

Is your PC under par? Does it take longer to log on and load websites then it used to? Are your programs crashing more often then Evil Knieval used to?

If the answers yes to all of these questions, then it’s time to give your computer a new lease of life. But we’re not talking drastic measures like buying a new one, as there are a few fixes you can do yourself (or with the help of an expert) that will restore your computer to its former glory. Here’s how you can perk up your PC.

1. Install tune-up software

The quickest and easiest way to restore your PC to health is to install a free registry cleaner that’ll tune things up. In fact, some programs won’t just return your computer to its regular speed; they’ll even turbo-charge it for you so you’ll have a boost of power when you need it the most.

As well as running at normal speed, your system will crash less and have more disk space available. You’ll probably even notice improvements in battery life too.

2. Back up your computer

Before you carry out any maintenance or make any changes to how your computer works, back it up first. Backing up is when you create a copy of your current system onto an external device or disk, such as an external hard drive or a writable DVD or CD.

As well as backing up before making any changes to your system, it’s wise to regularly make a copy of your files. After all, some of the information on your computer, like family photos, may be impossible to replace if it was deleted. After you’ve backed up, you can then remove any large files that you don’t use regularly (like mp3 files or high-res images), this should help free some disk space and speed up your system.

3. Uninstall programs you no longer use

Another easy way to free up some space on your hard disk is to uninstall programs that are out of date or that you never use. This could include pre-installed software or trial versions of programs you no longer use. If you browse online with Chrome or Firefox you might also consider removing Internet Explorer too.

To check for programs you don’t need, firstly click on the Start button and choose Programs and Features. Google any program names that you don’t recognise. After all, you don’t want to delete anything that’s vital for running the system. Removing the icon from your desktop does not delete the program. You’ll need to uninstall it via the Programs and Features menu you navigated to above.

4. Clean up your hard disk

Deleting large files you’ve backed up and programs you don’t use will provide you with extra space on your hard disk, but you can probably clear even more junk than that. Cached and temporary files, for example, will also be using up valuable chunks of memory.

Fortunately there is a program already installed on your PC that can clear these for you. Disk Cleanup will search your drive for unwanted data and then either remove it, or simply identify it so you can decide whether or not to get rid of it. If you use your computer a lot, it’s a good idea to run Disk Cleanup regularly. Set it as a weekly scheduled task and prevent your computer from slowing down drastically again in the future.

5. Update your software

Older versions of software or operating systems will make your computer run slower as additional security fixes (often called patches) and add-ons reduce computing speed. Updating to newer versions should help to improve the speed of your PC, as well as the security of your set-up too.

If you’re running Office 2003 or Windows XP, then you should definitely consider upgrading to a newer version. From 8th April 2014, these programs will no longer be supported by Microsoft, leaving users more open to risks from hackers than before.

6. Scan you computer for viruses

Viruses and malware (malicious software) may well be to blame if your computer’s running slowly or performing strangely. As well as preventing your computer from working as normal, they could be gathering your information or even planning to steal your identity.

Running anti-virus software will not only identify and get rid of any viruses you’ve managed to pick up; it’ll also help to keep your computer clean in the future. So both your computer and the information on it will be safe from harm.

7. Defrag and check for disk errors

If you’ve done all of the above and your computer’s still not performing as it should, then it may be necessary to defrag the hard drive and then check it for disk errors. Both of these tasks are slightly more complicated however, and you’re only advised to carry them out if you’re a competent PC trouble-shooter. If you’re not, then this is the time to call in the experts.

10 ways to get more out of Yosemite



10 ways to get more out of Yosemite


Yosemites Spotlight shows you everything

You can now Spotlight search for just about anything. Try searching for a recent film and you will get movie showtimes, iTunes Store links, trailer previews, Wikipedia information and links to any documents on your Mac that mention that particular movie (Calendar events, Mail and Messages that mention it).
The new Spotlight isnt just physically more central; its going to become a much more fundamental part of the Mac OS X experience.


Network Disconnection

Want to disconnect from a wireless network? Prior to Yosemite this was a bit of a hassle involving either switching off Wi-Fi entirely, or delving into System Preferences.
On Yosemite all you need do is hold down Alt (or Option on some keyboards) and click the Wi-Fi icon at the top right of the screen. Beneath the name of the currently in-use Wi-Fi base station will be a disconnect option. (This option also appears when you connect to an iPhone/iPad via Personal Hotspot, although in this case there’s no need to hold down Alt/Option because it appears in the main menu.)

Recording output

Ever needed to create a tutorial or walkthrough for something on iOS? Or do you just fancy projecting your iPhone or iPad screen onto your Mac’s display?
Previously the only way to do so was complicated setups involving AirPlay mirroring and third-party software. With Yosemite all you need do is attach the device to your Mac via USB and then open QuickTime Player. Then select File > New Movie Recording.
QuickTime will default to your Mac’s iSight camera (assuming it has one), but click the small down arrow alongside the record button and your iPad or iPhone will show-up as an option.
Of course, you haven’t got to record anything, and can simply expand the QuickTime Player window to full-screen for some cool game-play mirroring! You can also select the New Audio Recording option in QuickTime Player to record only audio via your phone or tablet’s microphone. (Sadly, recording video/audio in this works only with Lightning connections and not the older iPod-style cables.)

iCloud free space

In Yosemite a detailed view of the free space available in your iCloud account can now be viewed by clicking the iCloud option in System Preferences, and looking at the bottom of the window.
Hover the mouse cursor over each block in the bar graph to see a tooltip showing what that block represents.

Highlighting in brown or pink

Okay, so this is a really small detail, but it’s one worth knowing if you truly like to personalise your Mac’s interface! Open System Preferences, click the General icon, then look under the Highlight Color dropdown list.
You’ll find Brown and Pink have been added as options in Yosemite. The colour formerly known as Gold has also been renamed Yellow, and most colours are a touch duller than previously. All that glitters…

Flat, flat, flat

Flat, flat, flat. That’s the mantra for interface designers at Apple right now. At Apple’s HQ nobody is able to drive anywhere because even the car tyres are flat.
Not your taste? Open System Preferences, click the Accessibility icon, then ensure Display is selected at the left. Put a check alongside Increase Contrast.
The effects will be visible immediately, and this alternative look and feel has been compared to the plain and simple appearance of very early releases of Mac OS from the 1980s. (Plain colour wallpapers also might help if the translucency effect annoys you, and don’t forget the “Dark” UI option under the General section of System Preferences.)

Better annotation

The always-useful Preview app has gained a number of new annotation tools in Yosemite. To access the new tools, click the Toolbox icon at the right of the toolbar, alongside the Search field. The tools are:
Sketch: The pen icon lets you roughly draw a shape, which will then be autocorrected to its nearest canonical shape — draw a circle around something, for example, and it’ll be converted to a perfect circle. A floating toolbar will appear briefly offering the chance to switch back to your rough sketch. Note that this tool replaces the ability to hand-draw circles and squares — although see the next item in this list.
New shapes: Yosemite lets you add stars and polygons to images or documents, in addition to straight-up rectangles and circles. Click the shapes icon and a dropdown list will appear. Shapes are now dropped onto the canvas and you can move them around by clicking and dragging. Blue handles on each allow resizing but note the smaller green handles on each, by which the shape or nature of the item can be adjusted — dragging the green handle on the polygon lets you adjust how many sides it has, for example, even allowing you to create triangles.
Shaded mask: At the bottom left of the shapes dropdown list that appears when you click the shapes icon on the toolbar is the new mask tool. It lets you define an area of the image for highlighting. It does this by making the rest of the image shaded. This is confusingly similar to the Crop tool on some image editors, but totally unrelated.


Loupe: If you need to magnify an area of the image to show detail, you can place a loupe at that spot. This tool lives the bottom right of the shapes dropdown list, as mentioned above. You can place loupes over the top of each other to further magnify the image. Again, it might seem this is simply a magnifying tool offered by Preview to help with editing, but each loupe you place is saved-out with the image, and other items can be placed over the top of them.
The new tools in Preview are actually part of Yosemite’s Markup feature, featured prominently within Mail and used to annotate attachments (click the arrow at the top right of any image/PDF mail attachment). In actuality, however, Markup is available system-wide, and not just in Mail. This can be demonstrated by adding a picture to a TextEdit or Stickies document — the same Markup option will appear at the top right of the image (although curiously the Notes app is an exception to this rule).

Preview files

Finder has always offered a preview pane as part of the Columns view mode. As you might expect, this showed a preview of the currently clicked-upon file.
In Yosemite the preview can be activated inany view mode – icon, list, column, or Cover Flow.
To activate the preview window, click View > Show Preview. Alternatively, tap Shift+Cmd+P.
Click the same button or hit the same keyboard combo to hide it again.

Website update feeds

Back in the old days, Safari had the ability to tune into news feeds (that is, it was compatible with RSS/Atom update feeds provided by some websites). Unfortunately, the feature was then pulled in OS X Mountain Lion.
In Yosemite its back, and integrated very neatly with the Shared Links feature that pulls links from your friends Twitter feeds. Just click on the RSS/Atom link on any web page and youll then be asked if you want to add the site to your collection.
To view Shared Links, click the Sidebar button on the Safari toolbar (next to the back/forward icons), and then click the @ icon. Note that shared links, regardless of their source, are sorted by the date and time they were posted.
To unsubscribe from a site, again click to show the Sidebar in Safari, then click the @ icon, and click the Subscriptions button at the bottom. Click the X icon to the left of any site you want to remove.

Get Java

Considering the security risks presented by the Java Runtime add-on, Apple has perhaps wisely removed it entirely from Yosemite - even if you already had it installed in Mavericks.
However, this decision stops certain apps from running. There’s a twist in the tail, however, because simply installing the latest Java release from Oracle might not provide the solution.
Certain apps like Minecraft and Adobe Photoshop CS5 require the version of Java provided by Apple, even though this is a little ancient. The solution is to install both Apple and Oracle’s versions, and the two can exist in harmony side-by-side. Apple’s Java can be found and installed via here, while Oracle’s up-to-date version of Java can be found here (select to download the JRE version).

Sign using your trackpad

If you’ve got a finger and a MacBook or Magic Trackpad then you can now sign PDFs within Preview. Admittedly, the signature you come-up with is only likely to be a representation of the real thing, but it might be enough.
Start by clicking the toolbox icon at the top right of the Preview toolbar (next to the search field), and then click the signature icon beneath (sixth from the left).
Then click Create Signature, ensure the Trackpad tab is selected, and then click to begin as directed. When you’ve finished you can select the signature from the menu, then drag it to wherever you want it to appear.
If you intend to make good use of this feature then you might want to use a touchscreen stylus, which will works just as well on a trackpad as it does on an iPhone or iPad. (A biro wont work, so dont try it!)
