<description><![CDATA[10 terminal commands to speed up macOS Sierra on your Mac, use this commando's to get your old mac working better. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most improvements in macOS 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 sierra</p>
<p>With the following 10 Terminal Commands you can speed up macOS Sierra. The commands disable various delays and animations from that standard built by Apple. These are nice, but not necessary for the Mac <span id="more-1410"></span></p>
<p>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</p>
<h2>macOS user interface</h2>
<p>1. Disable animations when opening and closing windows.</p>
<p>defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool false</p>
<p>2. Disable animations when opening a Quick Look window.</p>
<p>defaults write -g QLPanelAnimationDuration -float 0</p>
<p>3. Accelerated playback when adjusting the window size (Cocoa applications).</p>
<p>defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSWindowResizeTime -float 0.001</p>
<p>4. Disable animation when opening the Info window in Finder (cmd⌘ + i).</p>
<p>defaults write com.apple.finder DisableAllAnimations -bool true</p>
<p>5. Disable animations when you open an application from the Dock.</p>
<p>defaults write com.apple.dock launchanim -bool false</p>
<p>6. Make all animations faster that are used by Mission Control.</p>
<p>defaults write com.apple.dock expose-animation-duration -float 0.1</p>
<p>7. Disable the delay when you hide the Dock</p>
<p>defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide-delay -float 0</p>
<h2>Mail applicatie</h2>
<p>8. Disable the animation when you sending and replying an e-mail</p>
<p>defaults write com.apple.mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool true<br />
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableSendAnimations -bool true</p>
<p><a href="http://www.defaults-write.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/speed-up-Safari-and-macOS.jpg"><img src="http://www.defaults-write.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/speed-up-Safari-and-macOS-585x333.jpg" alt="speed up macOS sierra and safari" width="585" height="333" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1412" srcset="http://www.defaults-write.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/speed-up-Safari-and-macOS-585x333.jpg 585w, http://www.defaults-write.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/speed-up-Safari-and-macOS-768x438.jpg 768w, http://www.defaults-write.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/speed-up-Safari-and-macOS.jpg 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px" /></a></p>
<h2>Safari</h2>
<p>9. Disable the standard delay in rendering a Web page.</p>
<p>defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay 0.25</p>
<p>10. The keyboard react faster to keystrokes (not equally useful for everyone</p>
<p>defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 0</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Undo changes</h2>
<p>If you want any of the above commands undo than is possible using the defaults delete command.</p>
<p>defaults delete domain key</p>
<p>Example: To undo the adjustment number 10, type the command:</p>
<p>defaults delete NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat</p>
<p>After undoing, you need to restart your Mac.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time Machine backups are great, but very slow when a large amount of data/files needs to be transferred (such as the initial back-up). As desgined by Apple the Time Machine background proces is running in a very low CPU priority, giving all other running applications en services priority. <span id="more-1371"></span></p>
<p>With the following Terminal command you can temporary speed up the Time Machine backups:</p>
<pre lang="bash">sudo sysctl debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled=0</pre>
<p>The command prevents Time Machine’s backup process assuming a low CPU priority, allowing backups to complete more quickly. </p>
<p>The command is not persistent and will become inactive after a reboot. If you want revert to the default setting without a reboot:</p>
<pre lang="bash">sudo sysctl debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled=1</pre>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest version of Pixelmator includes some improvements for stability issues with Pixelmator on certain 2011 Macs that have Intel HD 3000 graphics cards and OS X 10.11 El Capitan preinstalled. </p>
<p>Thanks to the fix, the app works again on these Macs. Unfortunately there is bad news for all other users, the bugfix made the photo editing application slower. Good news, you can disable the bugfix using the following Terminal command. <span id="more-1339"></span> </p>
<p><code>defaults write com.pixelmatorteam.pixelmator PXCEnableOpenCLCPUBlit -bool no</code></p>
<p>Especially with heavier editing you will notice that the application is faster. Change &#8216;no&#8217; to &#8216;yes&#8217; to revert to the original settings.</p>
<p><strong>Attention</strong>: don&#8217;t use this command when you&#8217;re using 2011 Macs that have Intel HD 3000 graphics cards. <a href="http://support.pixelmator.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&#038;t=14650" target="_blank">Click here</a> for more information.</p>
