12 Essential Steps Mac Users Need To Take At Year End
2023-12-19 16:16

As the year comes to a close, Mac users should take these steps to ensure their device's security, performance and organization.

Here are the year-end steps you should take to ensure your Mac is ready for 2024.

Year end is an opportune time to review the applications installed on your Mac and remove those you no longer need.

Year end is also a great time to review the programs and services that automatically load whenever you start your Mac.

The end of the year is a smart time to tidy up the folder structures on your Mac and ensure files stored in incorrect directories - including your Desktop and Downloads folder but also the root directories of your Documents and iCloud directories - are moved to more appropriate permanent locations.

While the previous steps all focused on addressing issues with the Mac's contents, don't underestimate the importance of physically cleaning your Mac.
