Mac Battery Guru


For an overview of real world usage of this app take a look at our article The new MBP power efficiency is impressive

This will place a number in your menu bar that is constantly reading and updating the current power output (or input) of your battery.

Using a Mac on battery makes it look like a continuous flow from 100% charge down toward 0%. But we did a bit of research on this assumption and found it couldn’t be further from the truth.

What actually happens during the life span of a single battery charge is typically that the usage goes in spikes, and while a healthy battery will usually hover around minimal usage, it is common to have processes that are unnecessary and that you are usually unaware of taking your battery usage 5 to 7 times higher than normal. That’s about the same time as you hear your fans going on sometimes, if it goes on for long enough.

Processes that do this are often there for archaic reasons. Other times a single small animated image that’s been left open for the last 3 days in one of your hundred tabs on your web browser that’s being left open will be the culprit, because it’s chewing up 100% of one of your CPU cores. Other times it will be a monolithic application such as Word left in the background, unbeknownst to you tying up more resource usage than the rest of the entire operating system put together.

Battery Guru is simple. It shows you a number in your menu bar. This number is the measure of electrical current that is currently flowing out of your battery. As mentioned, high CPU usage can cause this number to increase wildly. Another thing that can make it increase are if your discrete graphics chip kicks in to process intensive graphics, or perhaps unnecessarily because it thinks it should be processing intense graphics but really it’s just a tiny animation somewhere that you don’t even notice.

From the moment where you install Battery Guru you will start to become vaguely conscious of this number in your menu bar, much like you’re vaguely aware of the hour most of the time. You will see if this number massively spikes, and you will correlate it with a change on your system. Much of the time will then probably decide that you don’t in fact need to have that web page open that’s decreasing your current battery usage to 20% of what it would otherwise be, and close it. This is the peaceful way of getting a lot more life out of your battery on an every day basis.

What’s needed for a clean install on a Mac

  1. A backup of the disk before it’s erased. Two options are to use Duplicate (a free utility which can copy and paste an entire bootable volume), or Mac Backup Guru (a paid, fully featured backup utility with unique incremental backups capability) for that. Here is a detailed guide for the process.

macOS version is the latest




These are all Mac operating systems, starting with the most recent. When a major new macOS is released, it gets a new name, such as macOS Big Sur. As updates that change the macOS version number become available, this article is updated to show the latest version of that macOS.

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.

1. Mac OS X 10.0 (Cheetah)

March 24, 2001: Aqua interface is born with Mac OS X Cheetah. It’s a big step in the evolution of graphical interfaces, with 2D and 3D graphics support, granting an all-new visual experience. Cheetah featured a water theme, which, according to Steve Jobs, “one wanted to lick when they saw it.” Beauty comes at a cost, though. Graphics improvements made Cheetah very slow, which prompted Apple to shift focus from visual experience to performance in the next release.

2. Mac OS X 10.1 (Puma) 

September 25, 2001: As you might have noticed, the first generation of Apple’s operating systems was named after animals. Puma arrived with a solid performance boost and a few other functional improvements such as simplified CD and DVD burning, new features in Finder, and more extensive printer support.

3. Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar)

August 23, 2002: The third release of Mac OS X added search to Finder (can you imagine it, Finder used to exist without it!) Jaguar also brings MPEG-4 support for QuickTime, a range of privacy features, and, for the first time, Accessibility API called Universal Access. Some of the apps born with this release continue living on Mac even today (for example, Address Book, which is now called Contacts).

4. Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther)

October 24, 2003: Meet Safari! The first official web browser made by Apple replaces Internet Explorer on Mac. In fact, Safari was available on Jaguar but it’s the first release where it becomes a default browser. Other than that, Panther adds 150+ new features, including Font Book, Xcode enhancements, and more.

5. Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)

April 29, 2005: Did you think Apple TV is pretty new? Well, guess what, it was born in 2005, with the release of Apple’s fifth operating system! Tiger was a pretty big update. It featured Spotlight search, Automator, VoiceOver, and around 200 other improvements. During this time, Apple also switched to Intel’s processors, which made Tiger the first system operating on Macs with Intel chips.

6. Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

October 26, 2007: Here comes Leopard, one of the most Mac-changing systems. This time, Mac’s desktop changes significantly, with Dock, a new menu bar, and Stacks. Time Machine, Spotlight enhancements, and support for 64-bit apps arrive too. In fact, Leopard featured so much new stuff that Apple even had to delay the initial release date to finish it all in time.

7. Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

August 28, 2009: Leopard’s successor, Snow Leopard, focused on expanding 64-bit architecture. Most of the native applications were rewritten in 64-bit. Back then, experts used to say that was the first step to a full transition, which, as we know today, became true. Also, the App Store was born in the Snow Leopard era.

8. Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion)

July 20, 2011: With Lion, Apple brings lots of useful enhancements from iOS to Mac OS. Launchpad, multi-touch gestures, and more. Interestingly, many people criticized Mac OS X 10.7 for the so-called “natural scrolling,” which moved the content up when you scroll down. Back then, it seemed more natural to have the content move down — as Windows did it.

9. OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)

July 25, 2012: Major apps like Notes, Reminders, and Messages arrive from iOS, turning Mac into a more comfortable spot for managing your daily routine. The most significant update in Mountain Lion is Notification Center, with on-screen banners communicating updates.

10. OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

October 22, 2013: Operating system number 10 debuts a range of privacy features, majorly focused on password encryption and storage. This is when iCloud Keychain arrives. Also, OS X 10.9 features new Maps, iBooks, and Tags for the first time, as well as upgrades Notification Center by allowing users to reply directly from notifications.

11. OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)

October 16, 2014: Biggest redesign in years. From small things like thin fonts and new color schemes to the big shift towards flat graphic design, which better matches the design of iOS. What’s more, Yosemite introduces Handoff and Continuity. This once again confirms Apple’s intention to craft a better cross-device experience in the future.

12. OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)

September 30, 2015: El Capitan is faster, better, stronger than the previous operating system, due to a major performance boost. For example, it allows opening apps 40% faster than old systems. Also, this is the year when Split View’s dual-pane emerges, opening up new possibilities for managing windows on Mac.

13. macOS 10.12 (Sierra)

September 20, 2016: With Sierra, Apple shifts to the “macOS” naming. Again, more iOS perks arrive, such as unlocking a Mac with Apple Watch. There’s also a new Storage Optimization feature with a detailed overview of storage and suggestions on how to free up disk space. And, hey Siri!

14. macOS 10.13 (High Sierra)

September 25, 2017: macOS High Sierra adds a new video standard called HEIC and a transition to Apple File System (APFS), which is an improved alterantive to its predecessor file system HFS+. Apart from that, there are a few enhancements in Safari, Mail, and Photo — but nothing major.

15. macOS 10.14 (Mojave)

September 24, 2018: That’s when things go dark. We mean Dark Mode! Mac users can now move through their day-and-night routine, with the colors of the screen moving with them, thanks to Dynamic Desktop feature. There are more and more apps that arrive from iOS, including Stocks, News, and Home.

16. macOS 10.15 (Catalina)

October 7, 2019: macOS Catalina marks the death of iTunes, splitting Apple’s top-destination for media content into three dedicated apps — Music, Podcasts, and Movies. Apple continues aligning iOS and macOS with Sidecar, a feature that lets your connect an iPad screen to your Mac, and the ability for developers to port iOS apps to macOS.

17. macOS 11 (Big Sur)

November 19, 2020: There’s no macOS 10.16, because Big Sur deserves a more epic version name — 11.0. Bringing a huge design change and transition to Apple’s M1 Macs, macOS Big Sur is the one to remember. This is the first operating system that allows running iOS apps natively on Mac — the so-called Universal apps.

18. macOS 12 (Monterey)

Fall 2021: Announced on June 7, macOS Monterey brings Shortcuts — the ability to set up quick actions with different apps to automate your flow. Apart from that, there’s Universal Control, a natural transitioning across your Mac and iOS devices (for example, you can move your cursor between Mac and iPad); redesigned Safari with tab groups, and a range of cool FaceTime enhancements.

What’s the latest macOS? 

New operating systems for Mac not only bring new features, they bring better performance, enhanced privacy, and better workflow for those working across devices. If you’re wondering whether to upgrade to the newest macOS, we’d say yes, it’s worth it. 

How to check the latest macOS on your Mac 

Before you upgrade, you should find out what your current macOS is. Some macOS versions can’t be “skipped.” For example, if you want to upgrade to Lion, you should first install Snow Lion. Here’s how to check your operating system version on Mac: 

  1. Go to Apple menu > About This Mac
  2. See the name of your current macOS in the Overview section
  3. To check for pending macOS updates, choose Software Update. 

check the latest macOS on your Mac

Tip: If you don’t want to upgrade, but you feel like “you have to” because your Mac is slowing down or acting weird, don’t rush into it. Check what’s wrong with iStat Menus app, a real-time system monitor that can identify any pitfalls in your system. Maybe some apps are putting pressure on your Mac or you’re low on storage. In this case, macOS update won’t help.

How to update to the latest version of macOS

Older Mac OS X releases or newest macOS, the process of updating operating systems follows the same logic: 

  1. First, you backup your data to make it available on the new macOS
  2. Second, you make sure you have enough space on Mac to install new macOS
  3. Third, you download and install the new update. 

The first step is essential. Without securely backing up your disk, you might lose access to the images, docs, and whatever essential stuff stored on Mac. We recommend Get Backup Pro or ChronoSync Express to run a backup. The former can back up selected files and the latter does a great job backing up folders. So you don’t have to back up the whole disk, with all the clutter stored on it. Here’s how to create a backup with Get Backup Pro:

  1. Click on the “+” button in Backups to create a new project
  2. Choose a destination for your backup
  3. Click File+ to add files for backup
  4. Press Start.

Back up folders with ChronoSync Express:  

  1. Choose “Create a new synchronization task” on the right
  2. Name the project
  3. Choose folders for backup 
  4. Choose your backup destination
  5. Hit the arrow button to start backing up.

Once you’ve secured the data, go ahead and clean your Mac with CleanMyMac X. Remove clutter, system files, unused apps and app caches, etc. This way, you’ll free up lots of storage and get your Mac ready for a new macOS installation. We recommend to start with a Smart Scan, but if you want to go for a deeper cleanup, go through dedicated modules, they all work like magic.

How to Reset Your Admin Password on a Mac

/ No Comments

So, you’re trying to use your Mac, but you can’t get past the login screen because you don’t remember your password. First, you should make sure that the Caps Lock isn’t on, because passwords are case sensitive. Then, you should try using your password hint by clicking on the question mark in the password field. But if you still can’t log in, don’t contact Apple Support yet. Here’s how to reset your admin password on a Mac, even if you forgot your admin password. 



How to Reset Admin Password on Mac

The easiest way to reset your admin password is to enter recovery mode. Here’s how to do that:

  1. Restart your Mac. You can only access the recovery mode while the laptop is booting up, which is why you need to restart it. 
  2. While it is restarting, press and hold the Command + R keys until you see the Apple logo. If you see the login screen, you will have to restart and repeat this step again until you get to Recovery Mode.
    Command R
  3. Go to the Apple Menu at the top and click Utilities. This will open a drop-down menu.
  4. Then click Terminal.
    macos recovery mode terminal
  5. Type “resetpassword” in the terminal window. Don’t use any space in between the words.
    mac recovery mode terminal resetpassword
  6. Then hit Enter. This will open the Reset Password Assistant screen. 
  7. Type your password and a hint.
    mac recovery mode reset password

    Note: If you have several user accounts or an older Mac, you will have to select “forgot all passwords,” then select the user account you want to reset the password for. Finally, you will have to click the Apple icon in the upper-left corner and select Restart from the drop-down menu.

  8. Finally, click Restart. Once you get to the Login screen, select the admin user you just reset the password for and type your new password. Click Enter. 

How to Reset your Password Using you Apple ID

If you try to log in several times, you will see a pop-up message asking if you want to reset your password with your Apple ID. Follow these steps to continue:

  1. Click the arrow to use your Apple ID.
    reset it using you Apple ID
  2. Enter your Apple ID and password.
    How to Reset your Password Using you Apple ID
  3. Then hit Enter. Right after this, you will be asked to restart your computer.
  4. Click Restart to continue
  5. Log in with your new password

If you can get to your desktop, then you have successfully reset or changed your password. 


How to Reset your Password Using Another Admin Account

If your Mac has more than one users, and you know the login credentials to another one of the accounts, you can use that account to log in and reset your password. Here’s how:

  1. Log in to another admin account.
  2. Go to System Preferences. You can find this in your Applications folder.
  3. Next, click Users & Group.
    mac system preferences users and groups
  4. Click on the padlock in the bottom-left corner of the window. You will have to enter the username and password of that user again.
  5. Select the user you want to reset the password for, then click Reset Password
    reset password mac system prefernces
  6. Fill in the necessary fields and hit Enter
  7. Then log out of the current user account. This will bring you to the Login screen.
  8. Log in to the account you just changed the password for.
