Update your Mac (OS and hardware) Typically, Macs take care of themselves. Having the latest software from Apple makes speeding up your Mac simple. To check your version of the operating system, click the Apple icon in the top left corner of your screen and then About This Mac. If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos. Try also: The Crew 2 Mac OS X. The previous game from the series is also available for Mac OS computers. 2015's Need for Speed reboot is published under the same category as this new title. Download now Need for Speed Payback for OS X and you will have a great racing game to play. Need for Speed Payback – GAMEPLAY on Macbook Air 13 –. Apple provides free OS updates and these updates could fix bugs and glitches that slowing down your Mac. There is no reason to stay at old version of Mac OS at all! Below are detailed steps of how to update to latest Mac OS. Locate the version of Mac you require, check if your Mac is supported and if there is enough room for your Mac.

You'll need to type 'sudo port install fish'.
fish requires several large libraries that probably aren't installed yetA shell that depends on ghostscript, libpng and jpeg? Hmm..
Do you have misgivings, or suspicions? Please .. spell it out for us, since some of us, like me, have no idea if that's what you're suggesting, and wouldn't know what to be wary of.
Ghostscript is fairly large, and I can't quite see what use a shell would have for postscript. Maybe they have included some converter that translates their documentation to a postscript document or some such. I did not look into it much further, as usual DarwinPorts fails building some dependency half an hour into the process..
If you want a shell that does all sorts of built-in command line completion, includes modules for ftp, sockets, and other capabilities, and doesn't require building or installing anything, you should try the Z shell (/bin/zsh, already part of Mac OS).
I second that suggestion. Before zsh, I never 'got' shell usage at all, but zsh had a super tutorial and it made much more sense than the endless weird backtics and similar oddities in other shells.

Madness takes its toll.
Please have exact change.
Agreed.
I've always been curious about fish, but this time the port install failed on graphviz. Why the hell does it need graphviz?
Annoyingly I do have graphviz, but installed manually (and so probably a different version) because the macports' version has never worked for me. And I can't be bothered to work through the errors in manually compiling fish. It's a shell!
zsh is maybe worth trying - purely for the RPS1 ability. But it just seems to require so much configuring to get it working well. Ah well, back to bash..
..but pressed the wrong bit.
Sounded interesting so I used Porticus (gui for MacPorts) to install fish as suggested.
Astonishingly it DID require over 400 MB of downloads to satisfy its dependencies. It seems like perhaps someone wasn't too careful about minimizing the dependencies, or as noted elsewhere in the comments, maybe it's the TeX-based documentation which it pulling in ghostscript, tex itself (!), etc. etc.
I also got stuck on graphviz, but then trying again (a few times) suddenly it became downloadable, and in the end after more than an hour, I had fish installed. Lots of fun! But thanks for pointing out a shell I was unaware of!

Turns out that the http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/ARCHIVE/ does not exist. I did a web search and graphviz-2.20.2.tar.gz can be obtained from: http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/SOURCES/graphviz-2.20.2.tar.gz
Does anyone know how I can pass this corrected link to MacPorts?
Thanks in advance
1) cd to the var/macports/distfiles directory
2) Then 'sudo mkdir graphviz' if the graphviz directory is not present (it should be there as it was made when the graphviz install failed previously).
3) cd into the graphviz directory and copy the previously downloaded graphviz-2.20.2.tar.gz tarball or 'sudo wget http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/SOURCES/graphviz-2.20.2.tar.gz' to download it on the spot.
4) I'm paranoid so I cd out of the macports directories before running 'port install graphviz', but once you run it it will install graphviz.

fink install fish to get the shelly goodness. Note that I didn't include doxygen as a dependency since that's only needed to regenerate the docs if you make source code changes. That greatly decreases the needed dependencies over the MacPorts version. For all those having trouble with various dependencies, I feel your pain. My first attempt to install fish went flawlessly, at which point I banged out the above hint to let everyone else in on the fun.. and then I tried to install it on another machine and it blew up in all sorts of pretty explosions when I got to doxygen (which I already have installed anyway, but MacPorts doesn't know that). I even emailed the maintainer of doxygen because it was failing on TeX, which I don't want or need to generate HTML documentation, and got a reply to the extent of 'oh, yeah, I suppose we should get around to that eventually..' now it sounds like I ought to email the maintainer of fish to remove the doxygen dependency altogether. Ugh. Best I can say is maybe this will encourage the fish dev(s) to build a Mac OS X binary..
Wow. i was all excited to try a new shell, but ran into all the same explosive failures. Seeing the above comments about 400MB of downloads for something that I'll probably *forget* about, looks like a vast waste of disk space not worth the effort of installing.
Sure hope the MacPorts guys (I've run into this on many other ports) get on the maintainers of the various ports regarding dependencies. Cave lair mac os. Nothing sucks worse that trying to track down a mis-typed URL that is 3 levels deep on the dependency front.
I still want to try fish, so please post again when the install process (and size) becomes more sane.
echo set BROWSER 'open' >> ~/.config/fish/config.fishCan you expound on what 'open' means in this context? Entering echo $BROWSER at the prompt outputs 'open' rather than the path to the default browser. I'm assuming 'open' in the quoted line is different than the OS X open command.
This worked for me after installing fish with 'brew install fish'
set BROWSER 'open' >> /usr/local/share/fish/config.fish
Most improvements in macOS High Sierra are not immediately visible to the ordinary macOS user. Especially under the hood many improvements have been made in the area of performance and safety. Some users experience a slow Mac after installing MacOS High Sierra
With the following 10 Terminal Commands you can speed up macOS High Sierra. The commands disable various delays and animations from that standard built by Apple. These are nice, but not necessary for the Mac
New Mac Os 11
Open Terminal, which you can find in the folder: Applications ▸ Utilities. Copy and paste the following command either in the Terminal window. Press enter to apply this
macOS user interface
1. Disable animations when opening and closing windows.
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool false
2. Disable animations when opening a Quick Look window.
defaults write -g QLPanelAnimationDuration -float 0
3. Accelerated playback when adjusting the window size (Cocoa applications).
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSWindowResizeTime -float 0.001
4. Disable animation when opening the Info window in Finder (cmd⌘ + i).
defaults write com.apple.finder DisableAllAnimations -bool true
5. Disable animations when you open an application from the Dock.
defaults write com.apple.dock launchanim -bool false
6. Make all animations faster that are used by Mission Control.
defaults write com.apple.dock expose-animation-duration -float 0.1
List Of Mac Os Versions
7. Disable the delay when you hide the Dock
defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide-delay -float 0
Mail applicatie
8. Disable the animation when you sending and replying an e-mail
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool true
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableSendAnimations -bool true
Safari
9. Disable the standard delay in rendering a Web page. Wheres daddys scythe mac os. Kekcroc game remake mac os.
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay 0.25
10. The keyboard react faster to keystrokes (not equally useful for everyone
defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 0
When the commands are conducted in macOS Terminal, you need to reboot your Mac. After re-login you will notice that your Mac responds smoother.
Undo changes
If you want any of the above commands undo than is possible using the defaults delete command.
defaults delete domain key
Example: To undo the adjustment number 10, type the command:
defaults delete NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat
After undoing, you need to restart your Mac.
