Some Mac users have noted that MacBook Air and MacBook Pro battery life has taken a downturn with their Macs running OS X Yosemite. Finally, you’ll find that some of these tips may also speed up Yosemite a bit, which can make these simple adjustments particularly helpful for Mac users on older portable hardware.
Turn Off the Eye Candy
The various transparent visual effects in OS X Yosemite require system resources to render, and increased resource usage can impact battery life. This will be less notable on some Macs, but it can make a difference and it’s an easy settings adjustment one way or another:
From the Apple menu, go to “System Preferences” and choose “Accessibility”
In the “Display” section, check “Reduce transparency” (or Increase contrast)
Stop Automatic Updates
While most users should keep Automatic Updates turned on (unless you’re really good at remembering to manually update OS X and your apps), disabling these features can lead to an increase in battery life by reducing background activity.
There are multiple parts of Automatic Updates, but the two you should focus on for battery purposes are automatic OS X System Updates and automatic App Updates – it is strongly not recommended to disable the automatic data and security updates feature, which can push critical security fixes to a Mac.
In System Preferences, go to “App Store”
Uncheck “Download newly available updates in the background”
Uncheck “Install app updates”
Uncheck “Install OS X updates”
Disable Unused Location Features
Many apps want to use your location for convenience (and other reasons), but if you don’t use or care about those location driven features, disabling the ones you don’t need can help to prolong battery life.
From System Preferences, go to “Security & Privacy” and choose the “Privacy” tab
From the left side, select “Location Services”
Disable location abilities for apps you don’t need the function for (alternatively, you can disable them all by unchecking the primary “Enable Location Services” checkbox)
Click on “Details” next to ‘System Services’ and review location options there as well
Некоторые пользователи Mac отметили, что MacBook Air и MacBook Pro жизнь батареи заняла спад со своими компьютерами Mac под управлением OS X Yosemite. Наконец, вы увидите, что некоторые из этих советов также может ускорить Yosemite немного, который может сделать эти простые корректировки особенно полезны для пользователей Mac на старых портативных оборудования.
Выключить Eye Candy
Различные прозрачные визуальные эффекты в OS X Yosemite требуют системных ресурсов, чтобы сделать, и увеличение использования ресурсов может повлиять на срок службы батареи. Это будет менее заметным на каком-то Mac, но это может сделать разницу, и это легко настройки регулировки, так или иначе:
С меню Apple, зайдите в «Системные настройки» и выберите "Доступность"
В разделе "Дисплей", проверьте "Уменьшить прозрачность" (или увеличить контрастность)
