It’s usually a sad experience when you have to use your MAC computer and it fails to work. Ordinarily, the first response would be calling the repair guy that you know in Sydney. This costs money and time considering that it may be a while before the expert comes over to fix the computer. Surprisingly, you can always fix some MAC problems yourself. Therefore, you should try diagnosing and fixing the problem before calling your MAC repair services Sydney expert. Here are simple and quick fixes for five common problems to try out:
1. Your MAC Won’t Power On
There are two major reasons to explain this: One, your MAC may not be plugged in correctly. Check the power cable to ensure it is plugged into the socket properly. Secondly, what may be causing all the trouble is a dimmed computer screen. To troubleshoot this, simply check the screen brightness and turn it up.
2. Your MAC Won’t Start Up
This is a case where the computer is properly plugged in and the screen brightness is okay but an unusual display is seen on the screen. The screen is blue, grey or showing a question mark.
• For a blue screen: This may be because of software issue. Try switching the computer in Safe Mode.
• For a gray screen: This may be because of an outdated firmware. Check the software to see if it’s updated.
• For a question mark display: This may be a case of the startup disc failing. Switch the computer to Recovery Mode and select the right startup disc.
3. Your MAC Won’t Shut Down
This may be because:
• Some apps are still opened in the background. Close all apps that are opened in your background before shutting down
• Some files need saving: Show some patience by waiting to save the files.
4. Your MAC is Frozen
This happens when you are in the middle of a certain task and the computer screen becomes unresponsive or an app suddenly hangs. Force quit by pressing command, alt, and escape simultaneously.
5. Your Bluetooth is not working
If you are trying to use a Bluetooth accessory such as a mouse or a keyboard or any other feature that require a Bluetooth, you may at times encounter an error like ‘Bluetooth not available’ error. You can easily troubleshoot this by restarting your MAC. In fact, at times that’s all you need to fix the problem.
