The software can be found for free at the Stellar's website. The procedure requires from you to submit the "Fill the Registration Form to Get the 30 Days Free Software". Once done, you will receive an email from Stellar Data Recovery containing the SpeedUp Mac download link and activation key. We downloaded the latest v4.0.0.2 revision.
To install SpeedUp Mac, follow the steps below, it’s not hard at all.:
1. Unzip the SpeedUpMac.dmg.zip file.
2. Double-click the dmg file. This will mount a virtual volume – SpeedUpMac.
3. Drag the SpeedUpMac application from the mounted virtual volume to the Applications folder.
4. To launch the software, double-click on SpeedUpMac in the Applications folder.
5. Accept the License Agreement and then the main window of SpeedUp Mac software is displayed.
To remove the software simply drag and drop SpeedUpMac from the Applications folder to Trash.
If you are running macOS Mojave (10.14) or higher, you need to enable Full Disk Access on your Mac to ensure SpeedUp Mac works correctly.
Full Disk Access permission is a new privacy feature introduced in macOS Mojave (10.14) that prevents some applications from accessing your important data, such as Mail, Messages, Time Machine, and Safari files. This means you need to manually grant permission for certain applications to access these protected areas of your Mac. In earlier versions of macOS (10.13 and lower), this permission is automatically granted during the installation of SpeedUp Mac software. If Full Disk Access is not enabled, your SpeedUp Mac is unable to scan all areas of your Mac. This means SpeedUp Mac can only scan a limited portion of your system folders and hard drive, potentially resulting in unnecessary clutter remaining on your Mac. This procedure also is described at the Stellar SpeedUp MAC website but we will sum it up for you:
1. Click on Apple icon from the top left of your screen. Open System Preferences and select Security & Privacy > Privacy tab > Full Disk Access
2. Security & Preferences window appears with Full Disk Access option selected. Click on the lock icon.
3. Use your Touch ID (if available) or enter your system administrator credentials and click Unlock.
4. Click +
5. Click Applications, then select SpeedUp Mac, and click Open.
6. If prompted, click Quit Now. Your SpeedUp Mac now has Full Disk Access to scan and protect your Mac. Note: You need to restart SpeedUp Mac, if running, for the changes to take effect.
