I guarantee a much better machine without Valve, Protech, Orbicule, Delayed Launcher, Chrome, TimeMachineEditor Īnd even much much better without the Virtualizer VB and Logitech. Chrome uses much resources, and is as fast as Safari and less safe. Valve Steam: a well known resource eater, and known for issues.Įdit: 10. 1Password, although a very useful application, I have seen some issues in 10.8.5. Teamviewer: is your machine the host or the guest?Ĩ. Uninstall the Delayed Launcher, this may be bring something in a Windows environment, but OSX is perfectly well capable to do the job of starting your machine.ħ. In general, avoid software that inject kext (kernel extensions) files inside the belly of the OS !!Ħ. Uninstall Orbicule, does not bring more safety than already is in the OS. Protech NOSLEEP must be uninstalled, you can set the Energy Saver to your needs.ĥ. You can miss the Logitech Control Center I suppose, it uses more resources by running in the background than you should suspect.Ĥ. If you must have it (Or any other VM app) use it sparsely: starting manually, and quitting as soon as you have finished.ģ. If you do not need Virtualbox, uninstall it. I experimented with the two most known TM schedulers and in both cases it caused problems, from a "hesitating" computer to shortening battery life.Ģ. This can cause a lot of trouble, ask Pondini the TM specialist, google Pondini and you willl find his blogs and TM exposes. The Etrecheck list is "heavy" with all sorts of apps that you may better not have when you do not really need them.ġ. Now I've my computer running showing the amazing 11:35 hours of battery life at the moment.įirst of all, battery life is not really dependent on just CPU%. I went to my nearest Apple Store and they kept the machine and today they've returned and diagnosed that the ssd from Toshiba was faulty. When I was installing Mavericks, the installation went wrong and it restarted after an error message.Īfter that the machine won't boot up even reseting the PRAM, the CMD + R controls didn't work. I tried everything you told me and the same day I decided to try Mavericks. Ok I finally managed to solve the problem. If you insist to have a better info about the battery use CoconutBattery (start when necessary and Quit when done), this one keeps a good history at the same time.Ĭomplete info about the battery is already in the SystemIformation : click the apple menu, press the Alt(=option) key, choose "SystemInformation", look under "power". And remove both from SystemPreferences/Users&Groups/ LoginItems tab. You do not need Alfred and SmartBatteryMonitor. This is in the Deneve/Library/LaunchAgents/ī. VirtualBox - Path: /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox I've already read that Dropbox and Skype drains battery but I'm comparing with another MBA as same as mine and it last for 10 hours with the same usage of apps. It just last 3 hours with a complete charge. I'm just going crazy with my new Macbook Air 11" 128GB, 8GB RAM.
