Macintosh Macs are really solid (as PCs go) yet they
definitely toss their toys out of the bunk periodically (for the most part when
you're attempting to meet a due date). While there are a million distinct
things that can turn out badly with a Mac – large portions of which require a
great deal of time and tolerance to alter – there are a couple general steps
you can take to attempt and distinguish or take care of the issue.
Perused on for 10 basic Mac investigating traps that you can
attempt when your PC misbehaves. These are in inexact request of need, so
attempt the first proposal in the first place, and on the off chance that it
doesn't work, attempt the following.
(Disclaimer: Although these tips are genuinely harmless,
there's dependably a chance that attempting them may compound the situation.
Continuously verify you have a reinforcement of all your information before
continuing!)
1. Restart the Mac
The excellent technical support answer. In the event that your Mac is carrying on
unusually then the first thing to do is closed it down, hold up a few moments,
and play Judas on once more. This determines a great deal of programming (and
transitory equipment) glitches.
2. Verify your framework and applications are progressive
Some of the time issues are created by bugs in old forms of
programming. In case you're seeing an issue in a specific application, verify
whether a fresher form is accessible. As a rule there's a Check for Updates
menu choice under the menu with the same name as the application (e.g. iTunes)
or under the Help menu.
To verify your framework programming is cutting-edge, pick
Apple > Software Update.
3. Separate peripherals and system links
Now and again when your Mac plays up it's anything but
difficult to overlook that the issue may be down to something you've connected
to the back, as opposed to a flaw inside the Mac itself. Have a go at closing
down the Mac, then detaching all superfluous links (leave the force link,
console and mouse connected to and, obviously, the showcase on the off chance
that it's your one and only) and restarting. In the event that the issue goes
away then you may have a dodgy link or fringe. Plug them in each one in turn
until the issue returns.
4. Look in the logs
Macintosh OS
technical support, and most applications, store data about what they're
doing in different log documents on your hard plate. At the point when things
turn out badly then it merits checking these logs to check whether there are
any obvious messages. The least demanding approach to do this is with the
Console utility (Applications > Utilities > Console):
Snap All Messages in the left-hand sheet to see every late
message logged to the log database. Look down in the right-hand sheet to see
the most recent messages. You can likewise view log documents for individual
framework forms under the LOG FILES segment in the left-hand sheet. The upper
right scan box is likewise helpful for discovering messages logged by a
specific application (simply sort the initial few letters of the application
name).
On the off chance that you locate a suspect message, google it. As a rule you'll discover a Web
page that portrays the issue (and in a perfect world offers you some assistance
with fixing it).
5. Look Apple Discussions
Macintosh investigating without can be a touch like shooting
oblivious. Apple's useful exchange discussions are an extraordinary spot to
search for more data on an issue, or to make inquiries about the issue. Since
the discussions are frequented by a huge number of other Apple clients you'll
regularly discover you get a decent reaction to your question.
It merits figuring out how to seek the gatherings viably, as
the default look settings aren't that valuable. Here are some fast tips:
Use AND (all tops) between two or more words to return just
results that contain every one of those words.
Put cites around an expression to hunt down that correct
expression just, as opposed to individual words.
In the event that a specific word is more imperative in your
pursuit inquiry, include a caret (^) trailed by a number straightforwardly
after the word (the higher the number, the more that word is supported). For
instance, Intel^4 iMac
RAM issues verifies that your inquiry will probably return examinations on RAM
issues connected with Intel-based iMacs.
The default hunt is restricted to the most recent 90 days,
which implies that issues determined over 3 months prior won't appear. To
change this, snap the more choices connection over the pursuit box, then change
the Restrict by Date Range alternative to all:
Here's a full rundown of inquiry tips from Apple.
6. Take a stab at utilizing another client account
Numerous issues can be brought about by degenerate
information or inclinations in your client account. You can preclude this
probability by making a fresh out of the box new client record, signing into it
and attempting to replicate the issue there.
To make another client record, pick Apple > System
Preferences > Accounts, then tap the lock symbol, enter your secret word,
and tap the + (in addition to) catch. Enter the new client subtle elements and
snap Create Account:
When your accounts made, sign into it and do whatever
created the issue in your current record. In the event that everything works OK
then you can take a stab at duplicating every one of your reports, photographs,
motion pictures and other information documents to the new record and utilizing
that record. On the off chance that despite everything you see the issue in the
test account then the issue most likely isn't identified with records or
settings in your current record.
7. Restart the Mac in Safe Mode
Protected Mode (otherwise known as Safe Boot) is a unique
method of Mac OS X that handicaps certain elements and checks your startup
plate. In case you're having an issue with your Mac, booting into Safe Mode may
separate or alter the issue, or it may in any event let you start up your Mac
so you can examine the issue further.
To fire up in Safe Mode:
Closed down your Mac
Power on the Mac
Hold up until the ring has played, then instantly press and
hold either Shift key
At the point when the dim Apple logo and turning rigging
show up, discharge the Shift key
To come back to typical mode, just restart your Mac. This
Apple article clarifies Safe Mode.
8. Run an equipment test
In the event that you think that the issue may be equipment
related, you can run Apple Hardware Test, somewhat utility that puts every
piece of your Mac's equipment –, for example, its RAM, processor and rationale
board – through its paces. Here's the way to run an equipment test. (Note:
Newer Macs accompany the Apple Hardware Test project fabricated in, so you
don't have to embed the introduce DVD for these Macs.)
9. Repair plate consents
A few issues are down to wonky consents on specific
documents. Each record and envelope on a Mac's hard drive has a progression of
consents, or benefits, connected with it, and at times these authorizations get
fouled up. Repairing authorizations resets these record and organizer consents
to their right values. It may not settle the issue, but rather it can't hurt to
attempt.
To repair consents, begin your Mac as ordinary then
open Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Select your
startup circle in the sheet on the left, and then tap the Repair Disk
Permissions catch:
- Consents
repair takes a couple of minutes. Once it's done you may need to restart
your Mac. With a touch of fortunes the issue will be settled. Apple Support
and Help
10. Check and, if important, repair your plate's record
framework
Hard circles are surly brutes, and turn out badly decently
as often as possible. Plate and document framework issues can be as minor as
incidentally forgetting about a couple records to aggregate wipeout. Side
effects of document framework issues can extend from application hangs and
crashes through to not having the capacity to boot by any stretch of the
imagination.
The Disk Utility application (Applications > Utilities
> Disk Utility) gives you a chance to check a hard circle's document
framework for issues. To do this, select the circle to check in the left hand
sheet and snap Verify Disk. You'll see different messages show up in the
window, and following a couple of minutes you'll see a green message if the
circle is OK, or a red message if issues were found:
In the event that your document framework has issues then
you can endeavor to repair it. To start with, and most essential, verify you
have a reinforcement of your information. Of the considerable number of tips in
this article, this one has the most potential to bring about extra issues,
following repairing a plate includes messing around with the information on the
circle.
In the event that the plate you have to repair isn't your
startup circle (the plate you booted Mac OS from)
then you can repair it in Disk Utility by selecting the plate in the left-hand
sheet then tapping the Repair Disk catch.
In any case, if, as is all the more frequently the case,
your startup plate has issues then you can't utilize Disk Utility while booted
into Mac OS (since the circle is being used by the OS). Rather, do the
accompanying:
Embed your Mac OS X introduce DVD into the DVD drive, and
then restart the Mac.
When you hear the ring, hold down the C key until you see
the Apple logo and turning rigging.
Select your dialect in the dialog that shows up.
Go to the menu at the highest point of the screen and pick
Utilities > Disk Utility to dispatch Disk Utility.
Click the First Aid tab (if not effectively chose).
Select the circle to repair in the left hand sheet.
Click the Repair Disk catch.
On the off chance that all goes well then your circle will
be repaired (this may take a while) and you can then restart
