T
HE GREAT THING about
Apple products is that they
just work, right? Well, most
of the time, yes, that’s right
(thankfully). But what happens
if your Mac simply doesn’t want to
play ball?
Is your Mac refusing to start up?
Has the display gone all stripey? Or
is it switching on okay but being
really slow to respond? Your Ľrst
thought may be to go online (on
another device, of course) and book
yourself an appointment with
an Apple Genius. Or arrange for an
Apple Support call. Obviously, these
guys are the experts — and it’s
fantastic that us Apple fans have
these reassuring services to hand.But you could spend a while on the
phone explaining the issue or you
may not be able to book a Genius Bar
appointment at a convenient time.
Well, once you’ve recovered from
that initial “why isn’t my Mac
working?!” panic, you might be
surprised to discover that some Ľxes
are a whole lot easier than you
would Ľrst think.
We’ve collated a comprehensive
bundle of the most common Mac
problems that can occur and —
more importantly — how to Ľx
them! You don’t have to be a
technical whizzkid or a network
know–it–all. Just follow our simple
steps, and you and your Mac can
carry on “just working” in no time.Image rights from: Apple.
