One of the things that newcomers to Apple computers have to know is that the Mac system is a very, very stable and fast system that is going to do that you can have a much higher productivity by giving less problems in its daily use.
It is clear that all this depends on the user and the crazy things they do in the system. By crazy I mean the places where I enter and the things that I modify without having much knowledge of it. In this article we are going to comment where the items that are executed every time you start the system are managed and therefore that accelerate or delay its start-up.
To give a brushstroke to this article with what has been implemented in the latest MacBook Pro, we have to know that these computers go one step further at startup and that is that just by opening the lid of them we already have them turned on and within the system. Apple has modified the boot of the same so that if we do not configure it in another way the equipment starts automatically as soon as the lid is opened.
But that's not what we want to tell you about in this article. Right now I just finished installing several applications to a new MacBook Air from the daughter of a co-worker who has arrived new to the Mac world and one of the things that I always do once I finish installing the applications is review the items to be loaded at system startup The fact is that if there are many processes that the computer has to execute at startup, the longer it will take to do so.
When you install an application how can it be uTorrent or iTuneshelper itself that comes standard With Macs, you will see that in the startup items window a line will be added for each of these applications that indicates that the application will run automatically at startup to be ready when you want to start using it . I am in favor of this not being done at startup to save system loading time and that when I really need it, I will run it and wait two or three more seconds for the tool to load.
In order to see the items that will be loaded when your Mac starts up and to be able to manage what you want or do not want to start automatically, you must enter Lauchpad> System Preferences> Users and Groups> Startup Items.
As you can see in the image, the list of things that runs at system startup can be configured by adding or removing processes. Now you are the one who has to decide what you want or not to be executed before entering the Mac system with the + and - buttons.
Very good and useful. Thank you
