GET MORE FROM YOUR MAC
We’ve shown you in previous issues how you can get the best from El Capitan by tuning it, personalising it and optimising it. If you’ve implemented the tips and advice in those features, it should be running very well but there’s still more you can do to make OS X faster and even more enjoyable to use. Third-party tools in the form of free and paid-for apps and system extensions allow you access to parts of the operating system Apple makes it difficult to reach in order to optimise or personalise it. From tweaking settings to under-the-hood fine tuning, there are many tools to do the job. Of course, Apple provides tools of its own, such as Terminal, to allow you to access built-in but hidden tweaks. We’ll cover those too. We’ll also show you the best way to prevent disaster if things go wrong, by looking at the options for backing up your Mac.
