About this 'Spring Clean Your Mac' Course

Is your iMac or MacBook feeling sluggish? It's time to spring clean your Mac! Spring is the perfect time to give your Mac the TLC it needs to run at its best.

This hands-on training session is designed to help Mac users like you optimize storage, eliminate unneeded files, & speed up performance.

We'll be using multiple free tools such as About This Mac, Disk Utility, & MalwareBytes to address any issues your Mac may be facing. You'll learn about the common culprits that slow down performance, & how to know when it's time to upgrade to a new machine.

This yearly spring cleaning session is essential maintenance to keep your Mac running smoothly.

Just like changing the oil in your car, this yearly maintenance routine is non-negotiable if you want your computer to operate flawlessly. By keeping your Mac clutter-free, you can ensure that it runs smoothly & efficiently.

Questions & answers about this class:

Q: Why do I need to clean up my Mac?
A: Over time, as you install software & accumulate data, your system may become cluttered & slower, so regular maintenance can help prevent these issues.

It also ensures that your computer is free from malware & unnecessary files that can take up valuable storage space (or even be dangerous).

Q: How can I clean up & optimize my Mac?
A: You can optimize your Mac by removing old & large files, transferring files to an external hard drive, emptying the trash bin, & using cloud storage services like iCloud. I’ll demonstrate these techniques in this class.

Q: Will a cleanup make my Mac run faster?
A: Yes, optimizing your Mac can help it run faster by freeing up storage space, removing malware, & deleting unnecessary files that can slow down your computer.

Q: How often should I perform a cleanup on my Mac?
A: If you use your computer heavily, you may need to optimize it more frequently, but generally it's a good idea to do a cleanup on your Mac at least once a year to keep everything running smoothly.

I like to think of it as spring cleaning because it reminds me to do it once a year, & I always do it in spring so I don’t have to figure out when I last did it.
