How to avoid the most common issues with an Apple Mac

One of the most annoying issues with an older Mac is when it’s overly noisy. Loud sounds coming from your Mac is never a good sign, especially when it also becomes too hot. Usually, noisiness might stem from overheating as your motherboard strives to work that much harder. Some users choose to use a cooling pad to cool down their Macs, but this doesn’t fix the problem. There’s more likely an internal issue that needs to be addressed. 

This isn’t a problem you could potentially avoid. However, if you take your Mac to the Apple Store or a quailified repair expert, like Tech GeniuZ to have it looked at or if you’re savvy enough to handle opening it yourself to take a look and see whether the issue is dust inside, it could restore things to normal.

An overused battery is never a good thing for a Mac. Obviously, the older the device, the older the battery unless you’ve had it replaced. If you haven’t ever replaced it, over time, it will become weaker and need to be plugged into the adapter more often. If your Mac isn’t too old (after 2020), you can extend the ageing problem of the  battery by using the Optimized Charging feature in system preferences -» Battery. This allows your Mac to adjust its charging based on your usage. When your adapter is plugged in, it will charge to 80% and stop to optimize the Mac’s battery. You should also use your Mac without the adapter when it’s fully charged to excercise he battery. I wrote a full atricle about how to prolong the battery life in your Mac, which you can read here.
