Mac Software Troubleshooting

With Mac software troubleshooting, we know a simple bad update to one program can cause instability in your entire system. And issues can occur in just one app, or in many. So we start by checking for software updates for both apps and the operating system.

From there, we can troubleshoot problems with multiple apps by creating a new user account and also booting up in safe mode. Resetting the cache files, the NVRAM, and SMC, or disabling third-party fonts are also methods that can be used for diagnosing a problem.

When you need in-depth repairs or to recover files, you’re best off looking to the professionals. Call us at 1-800-919-6373, and we’ll put our years of Apple Mac Repair experience to work for you.

Create a copy of the Recovery Disk

We can prepare you for any worst-case scenarios by making a copy of the recovery disk to use it to fix and restore your drive should it quit on you.

Erase or format a drive

Getting into the nitty-gritty of erasing and formatting drives can entail more complicated procedures in legacy Macs and other cases. We’re here to help!

Resize a volume if drive size is too small

After OS X El Capitan was released, some Mac users found that it’s not as easy to resize volumes and partitions as it was with the older version of Disk Utility. We can resize to help increase space on your drive(s) so you don’t have to worry about losing data.

Remove unnecessary startup items

We can eliminate login items that belong to applications that are no longer needed or used, and that gobble up precious resources on your Mac.

Remove leftovers of uninstalled apps

These leftovers are system files created by apps and scattered in different locations all over the drive. Over time, the remains start to occupy significant space on the disk.

Remove unwanted tracking data

Web browser cookies, caches, histories, and plugins can take up gigabytes and slow down a Mac over time. Websites and advertisers use cookies to identify and follow users around the internet.

Use Activity Monitor to uncover memory hogs

If a Mac lags all of a sudden, we use Activity Monitor to manage memory, fix slow applications, and troubleshoot various other issues.
