- Written by Carrie Marshall

You know the line: when you have Apple hardware, it just works. But while that’s true most of the time, sometimes it doesn’t just work. Sometimes your Wi-Fi goes weird, your system slows or your everyday app crashes. What then?

If your Mac’s misbehavin­g, don’t reach for your iPhone to book that Genius appointmen­t just yet. The majority of Mac problems are straightfo­rward to fix, and in most cases they can be sorted in much less time than it’d take to travel to the nearest Apple Store or get a convenient appointmen­t. It’s great that Apple Geniuses and Apple

Support are there for us, of course, but it’s also great when we can solve the problems ourselves without having to go anywhere.

Troublesho­oting can be intimidati­ng, we know, especially if you’re not particular­ly technical. But you don’t need to be techie to fix most Mac issues. Whether it’s wonky Wi-Fi or unresponsi­ve apps, a file you didn’t mean to delete or an iCloud service that simply isn’t syncing, you’ll discover the tricks, tips and tools you can use to diagnose and solve all kinds of Apple problems so that once again, you can look at your Mac and say “it just works”. Let’s uncover your inner genius.
