Save yourself time and money on fixing your Mac: learn to diagnose common problems and become a troubleshooting Apple genius

Learn the secrets of the Apple gurus and rid your Mac of any problem!

Computers are complex things, and though you’ll have heard the phrase ‘it just works’ in relation to Apple gear many times, it — like any hardware or software — will surely run into trouble at some point. When something goes wrong, it’s tempting to book an appointment at a Genius Bar to get it sorted out, but that’s not always feasible.

The good news is that many Mac problems can be fixed yourself. Apple even provides software tools to help you diagnose them, and in this Genius Handbook we’ll take you on a tour of them. Next time you run into a problem, you’ll know which tool is correct for assessing it, and how to proceed with your Mac–saving investigation confidently and correctly.

Your Mac may be running like a dream right now, so you may not think you need this guide. But it’s an important read, and one you should keep safe. Down the road, when trouble brings productivity to a halt, you’ll be glad to have it.
