In this video I’m gonna show you the top 10 tips on how to improve your iPhone speed and battery performance. Let’s get right into it.

The first tip is lower your brightness on your screen by going to settings, brightness, and you can scroll this wheel from right to left depending on how bright you want the screen. I usually leave mine right at the 50% mark, halfway. Also leave auto brightness on so the iPhone automatically dims itself when you’re in low light situations.

Next tip is to restart your iPhone at least once a week and to do this you will find the iPhone power button at the top of the iPhone, hold it down for about five seconds. It’ll prompt you to slide to power off then slide the slider to power the phone off. Wait about 15 seconds and then you can power the phone again.

Turn off Wi-Fi and 3G cellular data if you’re not using them by going to settings, Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off in here. To turn off cellular data go back, hit general and then hit network. Here you can turn off cellular data. It will turn off 3G signals and you can turn off data roaming.

Each night before you go to bed remove all apps that are running in the background. To do this you will double tap the home button and then press and hold an icon and then hit the red delete button on all the icons on the bottom bar until they’re all removed. Then tap the home button again.

Change your e-mail settings to check less frequently by going to settings. Scroll down to mail and if fetch new data is set to push you can change that to fetch every 15 minutes, every 30 minutes, hourly or manually. I found that 15 minutes works pretty well.

Change your push notifications settings by going into settings, notifications, and here you can change every apps individual notification settings. If you don’t need an app to notify you, you can turn the notification settings off for that particular app. The fewer apps that are in this list the better your iPhone will perform.

Turn off spotlight indexing by going to settings, general, spotlight search. Here you can uncheck any app that you don’t usually use that often and it will remove it from the spotlight index. This will speed up your iPhone tremendously.

Delete any unnecessary app that ís taking up space by going into settings, general, and then hit usage. Here you’ll see a list of apps that are taking up the most space. If there’s an app in this list that you don’t use anymore go ahead and delete it.

There are a lot of apps out there that turn on location services by default when they don’t really need it in the first place. To clean this list up a bit, go to settings, location services, and here you’ll see a list of apps that have location services turned on or off. If you know an app can function 100% correctly without location services turned on, go ahead and turn it off for that app.

Turn off iCloud and its services by going into settings then iCloud. Here you’ll see a list of services offered in iCloud. I personally have everything turned off except find my iPhone. You can also disable the storage and backup feature by clicking storage and backup and turning iCloud backup off.

And that’s it, those are the ten tips. If you have any more I’d be happy to hear them. Go ahead and leave a comment or if you enjoyed this video go ahead and click the Like button. I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching everybody.

How To Back Up Your Mac: Carbon Copy Cloner

Video Transcript:

Hey what’s up YouTube? Today I’m going to do a quick little tutorial over Carbon Copy Cloner. It’s a free app for the Mac, and you use it to back up all your data to an external hard drive and I highly recommend it. If you go to Google and search Carbon Copy Cloner, the first result is the main website which is this right here. And the download button is this one right here. If you don’t want to do that I’ll put the link in the sidebar for you. Okay once you download it and install it when you bring it up it’ll bring you to this main screen right here. Now the source disk, your hard drive that’s in your Mac right now is going to be your source disk. It’s going to be the hard drive that you want to back up so I got mine. I have Macintosh HD. That’s the default name for all Mac hard drives. Yours might be different if you changed it, but most likely that’s what it will be. And I got everything checked, and here’s a setting you can put filters in like if you don’t want to back up certain file types. I’m just backing up everything. If you go over to the target disk section this is where you’re going to choose your external hard drive. I named my external hard drive Mac Backup so that’s the only one that I can choose. It’s the only external hard drive I have hooked up right now. Now the cloning options you can select back up everything or incremental backup of selected items. Now I think when the first time you do it the only option is to back up everything. Once, after the first time you back up everything you want to select incremental backup of selected items. This’ll only back up anything that’s changed since the last back up and I have this selected. Delete items that don’t exist on the source. This will delete anything on your backup hard drive which is your external hard drive. It’ll delete anything that doesn’t exist on the hard drive since the last backup. Say you backed up a song, you know, a couple weeks ago to your external hard drive and then you decided you didn’t’ want that song and you deleted it. And then you go back up your Mac again this will delete that song off the backup hard drive so you won’t have it anymore. I have it selected because I, whatever I delete I know I don’t want so; but some people like to, you know, keep everything even though they deleted it. So it’s up to you if you want to do that. And these? I don’t really check those because I don’t really see the point in doing it. That’s up to you if you want to check that. And I got mine; I got my external hard drive bootable because I would like to, if my hard drive dies I want to be up and running and I don’t want to wait and get a new hard drive and restore it and everything. So I have my backup hard drive bootable. I suggest you do that too because it’s really convenient. Alright now that’s about it. It’s real simple. Now you can save the task. I don’t save it because it automatically saves your settings so once you got everything set up like this you can go ahead and click clone, and it’ll back up everything. It might take a while depending on how big your hard drive, how much data you have, what you’re backing up. It shouldn’t take longer than 15 minutes, average user, so, not even that long really. So I hope you guys enjoyed the tutorial and hope you guys go check out this app – highly recommended by me. And if you have any questions comment, send me a message and I’ll get back to you alright? Thanks for watching. Make sure you subscribe, and I’ll talk to you guys later.
