Hello everyone,
I have noticed a considerable improvement on overall performance when using the mac as a guest user. I currently use my mac as "standard user" 99% of the time, if I were to create a new standard user, would I be able to have all the content from the older account on the new one? I would like to try this out before doing a clean OS install.
Kind regards
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
You'll only have access to applications, not the files.
I have been experiencing annoying slow downs for some time... Is there a way to have access to the files? I wouldn't mind if the overall settings were returned back to factory settings.
You should review the software you are running through user launch agents and login items. Those will not be present on the new user.
You could maybe back up your important files i don't know, but making a clean install (or even making a new account) on Mavericks really helps. It gets really really fast ! I personnaly partioned my disk and installed Mavericks on a brand new partition with nothing on it and then moved some of my files and applications to it and deleted my old and slow partition ! It's going at light speed now, and i have an old 2009 low-end MacBook Pro.
Any recommended external drives?
Performance considerably faster as guest user
