It can help you quickly and securely speed up Mac after installing macOS Mojave.
In order to speed up Mac after installing macOS Mojave, just download and install AweCleaner for Mac on your Mac computer.
it's taken about 10 minutes! Strange.CCleaner is the number-one tool for fixing a slow Mac Download Ccleaner Mac for free and enjoy! On my MacPro, that took all of a few seconds. When I downloaded the installer image - it then needs to instal an installer into your Apps folder. I've now had to instead Wifi over the 5GB installer to the MacBookPro, and swap the HDD dock over to the MBP, so I can instal the OS. Surely the Installer app wont instal an OS without checking validity first, so there's no need for it to refuse to open. Apparently it's a "known issue" that Apple's doing nothing to resolve. And - Sierra wont let me open the El Captain installer cos it's too old. Attached the SSD via hdd dock, to instal 10.11. What an annoying issue!? I just downloaded the 10.11 installer from Apple, onto my MacPro running 10.12.
hopefully will be cheap to upgrade if needed. Hopefully it will breathe new life into it.
but I'm going to pull out the 512GB SSD that was installed about 5 years ago, and will bring it home to put into the 2009 iMac. Next weekend we're going to my parents house so I can set up dad's new M1 iMac that's been sitting in my office for 2 months (COVID!). He seemed very nonchalant at first, but has asked about it regularly ever since. so I asked him if he would be interested in me resurrecting the 2009 24" iMac that's been sitting on my fridge for 3 years since I purchased my MacPro. This got me thinking that maybe the 14yo was feeling left out (although he has a Lenovo ThinkPad that he uses for high school). So - I now have a 240GB WD Green SSD ($44 off eBay) that I'm about to instal El Captain on using my USB HDD dock, and will then pop it into the MBP for them. My 2 younger kids (6 and 8) were very excited watching me repair the trackpad, knowing they are going to have their very own computer - after I instal an SSD. So I took a deep breath (hate glue), followed the instructions, and - voila! Resurrected button! But, if you peel the disc off, and then re-stick it slightly off-centre, it will work again. I looked at a few vids on YouTube, and saw that the common problem with the Trackpad button not working is that the metal disc that closes the contacts ends up wearing a hole through the contact. Not sure if I posted here (MacRumors) or not about my Trackpad resurrection?! Over on the Windows side of the 2008 MacBook: For usability, El Cap may very well be a bad choice due not being 100% supported there. So on the Mac side of things, it looks like 10.11 is the best choice for security's sake.
To run PowerPC applications on this Mac, it will be necessary to use Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or earlier.Īlso see: Which Macs are compatible with OS X El Capitan (10.11)? What are the system requirements? Which Macs support which features? Please note that OS X "Lion" 10.7 and subsequent versions of OS X are not capable of running Mac OS X apps originally written for the PowerPC processor as these operating systems do not support the "Rosetta" environment. It is not capable of running macOS Sierra (10.12) or subsequent versions of the macOS at all. When running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" it is not supported booting in 64-bit mode. *This system can run the last version of OS X 10.10 "Yosemite" and OS X 10.11 "El Capitan," although advanced feature support is minimal (Mac-to-Mac AirDrop is supported).
