macOS and Mac problems and solutions: step by step guides
Mac computers are reliable, but even they cause problems from time to time. Users most often complain about slow performance and the spinning beachball, about macOS updates that won't finish, about a full disk and the message that there is no room for new files, as well as apps that won't open or crash right after launch. There are also problems with an external monitor, AirDrop that won't send files and Keychain passwords that the Mac keeps asking for again.
In this category you will find practical step by step guides, written in plain language and adapted both for home users and for small and medium businesses working on a Mac. Every article takes you from the quickest check to a permanent fix, with clear settings, commands and advice on what to do if the problem persists. If you cannot solve something on your own, our IT support is here too.
