Maybe it’s time to revisit Yosemite, or Mavericks, or even El Captain OS X. All of which are previous versions of Mac OS X.
There have been a truck load of complaints surrounding the latest upgrades to Mac OS Sierra. The latest version of Mac OS Sierra is 10.12.4.
You’ve Got Some Issues:
- Slow startups.
- WiFi connectivity.
- Apps crashing unexpectedly.
Step into an Enjoyable Mac OS Sierra Experience:
Performing a backup and doing a clean reinstall of Sierra couldn’t hurt. Also, doing some virtual spring cleaning and cleaning out the cache, getting rid of some of those photos from your year book (don’t nobody want to see all that) and documents, running a first aid disk utility check, and/or eliminating login items, could be the likely culprits behind slow startups and apps crashing. Running these simple, but at times effective tasks, could yield better system performance. As far as WiFi connectivity problems go, running a hardware check, or if you have Windows installed on your Mac, try connecting to WiFi on the Windows side. If you’re able to connect without getting the dreaded “No WiFi Hardware Installed” message when you run a WiFi diagnostic check then, most likely the problem is not related to the hardware and is a software issue.
Got Any Bright Ideas?
Another good, but drastic solution could be to partition your Mac into different sectors and dedicating a previous versions of OS X to all partitioned sectors of the main drive. Yes, in some cases this isn’t such a good idea, because of security concerns. However, if you’re that user who’s willing to sacrifice a little security to get your Netflix on, then don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Okay. Now that we have that covered. Let the games begin!
Send in the Beyonce’s Song: Driver, roll up the partition, please. And cut!
Step 1: You need to gain access to the Disk Utility application. Click on the Launch Pad icon located at the bottom of the doc.
Step 2: Locate and click on launch the Disk Utility App. Note: Before selecting the main disk, it is recommended to run a quick First Aid check on the main disk before partitioning the drive into different sectors.
Step 3: The Disk Utility App window will generate. Go to the left hand pane and select the main disk you would like to partition.
Step 4: Next click on the Partition icon located on the tool bar of the Disk Utility window.
Step 5: The partition window will generate. What you should be seeing (assuming your drive is not partitioned) is Macintosh HD and the total amount of giga bytes available. To add a partition click on the addition symbol located at the bottom of the pie chart describing the drives information. You can adjust the size by by dragging and resizing to the desired amount of space. Once all applicable partition information has been selected and entered, click apply and the partition will be generated.
Step 6: Restart your computer.
Step 7: Hold the option key down once you hear the chime sound and all the different partitions will appear for selection.
And you should be good to go.
