Mac Tips and Tricks - Gaming on Your Mac

With the new World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor expansion scheduled for November and the holiday season computer game releases just around the corner, it’s time to gear up for a whole new level of gaming. After all, you wouldn’t want to step into a PvP arena looking like a newb, would you?

We have gathered a few tips to twink you out prior to game time...

Check out a few of the Ramjet staff’s favorite features:

A custom PC is overrated. Contrary to popular belief, computer gaming need not just pertain to a flashy PC unit. More MACs today have hardware beyond that of the common PC. The MacBook Pro, for instance, is one of the best devices on the market for a windows operating environment.

Use a wireless mouse on an oversized mousepad. When bullets are flying (or when you need to efficiently run and hide from that level 90 death knight), it’s easy to get overly aggressive with your mouse movement, scrolling, and clicks. A cord holds you back and gets in the way. For a small expense, you can upgrade to a wireless mouse. Add an oversized mouse pad (or use a card gaming mat) to expand your freedom of movement even further.

Upgrade your RAM. The best places to spend your gold - er, I mean money - is to invest in more RAM and a better video card. RAM allows you to store more games in your computer’s memory. Go beyond Apple specs with Ramjet Plus and can make your Mac perform better than the manufacturer's specifications.

Build up your coordination and reflexes with other Mac App Store and Steam games. While you and your guildmates await the next big game release, check out the Mac App Store or Steam. Many indie gaming creators have developed entertaining and less-known ways to stimmie boredom during your breaks from high-graphic first person shooters and MMORPGs. You could always keep your reflexes fresh while queueing up for a battleground, too.

Make Your Battery Last Longer

Everybody loves the portability of a laptop - but how portable is it if you're constantly looking for an outlet to plug in? Here's some tips on how to preserve your laptop battery life.

1. Turn your screen brightness down. One of the easiest ways to save battery power is to turn the screen brightness down. Tap your F1 key to turn your screen brightness down, or open System Preferences, click Displays, and then adjust the screen brightness slider to where you're comfortable. If you want to turn the brightness back up once you're plugged in, just tap the F2 key. Bonus: a less bright screen can also be easier on your eyes.

2. Turn off energy sucking apps running in the background. Sometimes even when you aren't using an app, it's still running, hidden in the background, eating up your battery life. Use your Spotlight search bar to open up Activity Monitor. Select CPU and then click 'All Processes' in the dropdown menu. You'll see a list of all currently running programs and a list of how much %CPU programs are using. If you see anything you're not using that is running at a high percentage, you can select it in the list and click Quit Process to close it down and save some extra battery life.

3. Turn off Wi-Fi & Bluetooth. Unless you're using your laptop to access the internet, you can turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to spare your battery. In the upper right-hand corner of your screen, you will see icons for both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. You can click to turn these icons on and off as needed right from your top menu bar.

4. Turn off the illuminated keyboard. This is a cool feature, especially if you're using the laptop in a low-light situation, but it definitely eats up precious battery life. Go to System Preferences and select Keyboard, then uncheck 'Illuminate keyboard in low light conditions.'

5. Turn on Private Browsing in Safari. This one might surprise you, but by enabling Private Browsing, your laptop will stop using the hard drive to cache webpages, images, and other information while you browse. By accessing the hard drive less, you'll save battery life. Unfortunately, this also means Safari will stop saving autofill information for forms and won't remember your browsing history, so you'll probably want to disable this once you're plugged back in.

Activity Monitor on Your MacBook

If you're considering a MacBook RAM upgrade, here's a sure way to find out if your current system would benefit from installing more Apple RAM. Go to your Applications folder in your Finder window, and look for the Utilities folder. Inside this folder, you will find a handy application called the Activity Monitor. Double click on this application and find the System Memory option at the bottom half of the screen. You can also do a search for Activity Monitor in your Spotlight.

You will find terms used for Free, Wired, Active, Inactive, and Used. The pie chart provided to the right will indicate how much is allocated to each of these terms. The important one to note is Free Memory. If you discover that your pie chart has less than 25% allocated to free memory, it is likely that your MacBook could benefit from an Apple RAM upgrade.

Pay Attention to Page Outs:

Page outs happen when your system has to write information from RAM onto your hard drive because your RAM is full, also called Virtual Memory. This is a sure indication that by adding more MacBook RAM from Ramjet, you should see a substantial increase in your system's speed and overall performance. Using physical RAM rather than relying on Virtual Memory will also save the life of your hard drive, and is faster than Virtual Memory. These are some memory upgrade options for your MacBook machine, organized by Model Identifier.

MacBook RAM Upgrades and More

The MacBook, while now replaced by the MacBook Air line of Mac laptops, is still a great machine and continues to be the main laptop for many Apple users. These machines have seen several updates, from the original 13' MacBook that used DDR2-667Mhz memory to the most recent version from 2010 that used DDR3-1066Mhz. Unlike the MacBook Air, the MacBook has the benefit of being able to be upgraded, while the MacBook Air unfortunately cannot take upgrades either of MacBook RAM or hard drive. It is this upgradeability that has many users still using their MacBook today.

MacBook Memory Slots

Each MacBook has two slots. Memory does not have to be installed in pairs, but these machines do get a slight boost from having a matched pair. In some models, the maximum memory is 6GB, which requires a 4GB and a 2GB DIMM. This configuration, while not getting the boost from being a matched pair, is still a superior configuration than a matched pair of 2GB for 4GB. The additional 2GB of physical RAM with the 6GB configuration more than makes up for the lack of the slight performance boost from a matched pair.

Storage for MacBooks

Installing a larger internal laptop hard drive in your MacBook will require a different process depending on which version of the MacBook you have. However, in both the plastic version of MacBook and the aluminum unibody MacBook, replacing the hard drive is fairly straight forward. The drive is located in the same place in both body styles, but in the plastic version you will remove the battery and then slide out a tray, while in the aluminum MacBook, you need to remove the entire back of the laptop to access the drive location. Further instructions for replacing the hard drive can be found in your machine's installation guide.

MacBook Optibay Replacement Kits

Another option for upgrading your MacBook is to purchase an optibay drive and enclosure. The optibay kits sold by Ramjet are made specifically to fit into your particular MacBook model. The optibay kit will allow you to remove the optical drive in your MacBook and replace it with an additional laptop hard drive, giving you extra storage space without having to replace your main hard drive. You can find more details about Ramjet MacBook Optibay kits in our Optibay blog article.

Where Can I Find My Mac Model ID?

A Mac's Model Identifier, or Model ID, is the surest way to identify the system memory for apple mac computers. First, select 'About This Mac' in your Apple Menu (top left corner). Then, select the 'More Info...' button in the About This Mac window. In the example below, the Model Identifier is for a Mac Pro 2,1 machine. Once you know your MacBook's Model ID, you can shop for Ramjet MacBook RAM by your Model ID.

This will open your Apple System Profiler. The second line in your Hardware Overview section will display the Model ID.
In OS X 10.4 and older, the Model Identifier will be called 'Machine Model.'

“No matter what I do, my Mac is still slow”, an average tech-consultant hears this phrase multiple times a day. Give a person even the most powerful computer, and pretty soon it will be cluttered with apps, extensions, and things that are too much for it to handle. To reverse it, one has to go back and сlean up the mess, removing memory agents one by one. Prepare for a fight — every byte of memory is at stake. So let’s put your Mac on a diet and get it more free RAM to breathe freely.

First, remove desktop clutter. Get a combination of Setapp apps that clear away unneeded desktop files.

“Your system has run out of application memory”

How do you know your Mac is low on memory? Floating “rainbow wheels” aside, you may notice your Mac now takes ages to load. You’ll also see many browser applications crashing. You’ll be also thrown warning messages as “Your system has run out of application memory”. To help it, you should first visit the Activity monitor to see memory usage on Mac.

How to check RAM usage on Mac

Go to Applications and type in Activity Monitor in the search bar. This invokes a good old Activity Monitor that should tell how much free memory you’ve got left.

A shortcut to open Activity Monitor:

Press F4 and start typing Activity Monitor in the search bar.

I’ve attached a screenshot from my Mac and as you can see my memory usage almost reached full capacity. Here’s what it all means:

App memory: taken by apps and processes
Wired memory: reserved by apps, can’t be freed up
Compressed: inactive, can be used by other apps
Swap used: memory used by macOS
Cached files: memory you can really use

Notice the colored graph under Memory Pressure. If your graph is all but red and yellow, your Mac is really gasping for fresh memory. It seems counter-intuitive, but “available memory” your Activity Monitor is not that important after all. In fact, it’s a system intended behavior to use all memory resources when available. On the contrary, the Memory Pressure graph is much more telling, so grow a habit to check this graph in the Activity Monitor every now and then.

How to check CPU usage on Mac

Open the CPU tab in Activity Monitor to keep in check CPU-heavy processes. Normally an app would be using 0-4% of CPU. If it takes abnormally more than that, go inside that particular item in the list and press the Quit button.

How to free up memory on Mac

Tip # 1. Remove Login Items to lower Mac memory usage

Login items are programs that load automatically upon Mac startup. Some of them covertly add themselves to the list and this is no good. If you’re looking to free up RAM, they are the first candidates for deletion. Don’t worry, you’re not deleting the app itself, you just stop it from auto-launching every time.

So, to remove Login Items and at the same time reduce your memory usage of your Mac, you need to:

Open System Preferences and select Users & Groups.
Click your nickname on the left.
Select the Login Items tab.
Check programs you don’t want to load as your Mac starts.
Press the “–” sign below.

Now, you won’t see these apps pop up the moment you turn on your Mac. Although this method doesn’t require some superpowers of yours, some special Mac optimization and memory cleaner tools may do the job faster and ensure the smooth performance of your Mac. CleanMyMac X is an excellent example of such software. Here’s how to disable Login Items with CleanMyMac X:

Download it for free and go to the Optimization tab.
Check Login Items to see the list of apps that get opened when you start your Mac.
Click Remove.

As you’ve already come to the Optimization module of CleanMyMac, you can also fix hung apps and heavy memory consumers there. In this way, you’ll free up the solid amount of RAM on Mac — 100% free of charge.

Tip # 2. Free up disk space if Mac is low on memory

The available space on your Mac’s drive translates into virtual memory. This comes to save you when you’ve run out of physical RAM. So now your computer relies on your hard drive space to keep your apps going.

The classic geek rule of thumb holds it that you should keep at least 20% of disk space on your startup drive. Not only this potentially reduces your future spending on iCloud storage but it also keeps your Mac speedier.

Rabaland Mac Os Update

What to delete to free up space:

Large unused files, like movies
Old downloads
Rarely used applications
System junk

But here’s a simpler solution to save your time — clean up your drive with CleanMyMac X— the app I’ve mentioned above. Many users recommend it as an excellent way to free up more space because it searches for large & old files, useless system files, Photo junk, mail attachments and shows everything you can safely delete. Interestingly, it finds about 74 GB of junk on an average computer.

Extra trick: How to free up RAM on Mac with CleanMyMac X

If you have downloaded CleanMyMac, you may also take advantage of its amazing feature — the ability to free up RAM in a few seconds. Try this next time you see “Your system has run out of application memory” message.

Go to the Maintenance tab on the left.
Click Free Up RAM.
Click Run.

As simple as that!

And you can do it even if you download a free version of the app.

Tip # 3. Clean up your Desktop

This tip always comes at the bottom of instructions and unfairly so as it is quite effective. Without even looking at your Desktop I would assume it’s cluttered with mountains of icons. Thing is, your macOS was designed in a way that it treats every Desktop icon as a little active window. The more icons, the heavier memory usage on Mac. So in order to release available memory resources, it’s recommended to keep your Desktop clean.

You don’t have to do it all by yourself. With apps like Declutter and Spotless, every desktop cleaning session will be scheduled in advance and executed automatically. Your only job is to define the rules on how your files should be organized.

Tip #4. Clear cache files

Another way to free up RAM on Mac is to clear it of cache files. Of course, it won’t save you gigabytes of space, but deleting cache regularly, you can help your Mac run faster and avoid system issues.

So, to remove cache files on your Mac, you need to:

Open Finder.
From the Go menu, select Go to Folder.
Type ~/Library/Caches in the field and press Go.
In the window that appears, you will see all your cache files.
Press Command+A to select all files or delete files one by one.
Enter your user name and password to confirm.

If you find some files still in the folder after you emptied it, maybe you have some windows open on your Mac. Just like that, you can save up some space on your Mac. Don’t forget to empty the bin afterward.

Tip # 5. Tune up Chrome’s Task Manager

Although Google Chrome is not the one to blame for massive memory usage, it can indeed affect your Mac's performance. If you use Chrome as your primary browser, you probably have many windows opened there. Chrome runs a lot of processes to ensure a fast browsing experience for you. So, it uses your RAM for storing your tabs, plugins, and extensions. Look at how many entries Google Chrome has in Activity Monitor:

The question then arises, 'Why does Chrome use so much RAM?' The thing is that each process is responsible for a separate plugin or extension of your browser. For example, when a tab unexpectedly falls, you need to refresh it to continue your work there. If one process were responsible for all tabs and extensions, you would need to restart the whole browser instead. Can you imagine how many times would you do that? That’s the proper answer to why Chrome uses so much RAM.

I’ve been using Chrome for some years only to discover (recently) that Chrome had a task manager of its own. You can use it to force quit memory-heavy processes in the browser. It’s a handy tool because it lets you see how a page weighs on CPU usage on a Mac.

Go to Chrome settings (dotted icon in the top right corner)
Click More tools -> Task Manager

To free up even more RAM, close the GPU process. The GPU Process, though helpful in theory to accelerate pages, eats up a considerable amount of memory. Click to end it to free up RAM on your Mac.

Tip # 6. Manage RAM usage with CleanMyMac X menu

CleanMyMac X has another useful and convenient feature for managing your Mac’s performance and memory usage. As you install CleanMyMac X and start it for the first time, it’s icon will appear in your menu bar. Click the icon to open the CleanMyMac X menu. Here you can find updates on the current condition of your Mac and perform quick tweaks to increase your Mac's speed. Whenever you feel like your Mac underperforms, open the CleanMyMac X menu to check how much RAM is available and free it up as well.

Tip # 7. Close Finder windows

Okay, suppose you’re still asking yourself, how do I clear RAM on my MacBook Pro/MacBook Air. The next trick is as magical (you’ll see for yourself) as it is time-saving. It’s no secret that each window in the Finder eats up RAM. But how many open windows are there? Some of them are collapsed or stacked in some blind spot on your screen. This Finder command merges all your windows into one. See how to do it:

Click on Finder > Window > Merge All Windows

Now you can manage Finder windows more effectively and free up memory on MacBook.

What else you can do to minimize memory usage on Mac

Rabaland Mac Os Catalina

I’ve saved the easiest tips for the end, as long as these ones are self-explanatory.

Replace AdBlock (very memory-demanding) with a lighter extension
Keep fewer opened tabs in the browser
Restart your Mac more often to free up RAM
Close all hung-up print queues

That was my take on how to make your Mac a bit speedier to use. If you’re looking for more guidance, check simple ways to speed up your Mac.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to check application memory on Mac?

To check RAM usage on your Mac, go to Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities). In the Memory tab, you will see all the active processes that are using your Mac’s RAM. At the end of the window, there is a Memory Used graph, which indicates how much application memory is used.

How to find out whether your Mac needs more RAM?

Your Mac may be using almost all its RAM, but you don’t need more if it’s using it efficiently. Open Activity Monitor and go to the Memory tab. The Memory Pressure graph shows the current condition of your RAM: green color means your Mac’s using RAM effectively, while yellow is a sign that some application or process is using too much of application memory. The red memory pressure signals that your Mac needs more RAM.

How to quickly free up RAM on your MacBook?

To free up RAM on your Mac, firstly, you should find out what app uses so much of your memory. The memory-heavy programs are listed in Activity Monitor, Memory tab. If there is an app you aren’t using at the moment, click it and press the “X” sign to quit it. This will, in turn, free some of the application memory.
