Every time you visit a website, or update a program your RAM is storing all of that information. What's that you ask? Think of RAM as the short-term memory for your computer. When your Mac is running slow it could be that you just need a RAM upgrade. Having a computer running slow can be very frustrating - sometimes you sit there just waiting to hear the dial-up tone from the 90’s. When you first unboxed your brand new computer it ran so fast, but fast forward a few years in and you’re seeing the rainbow wheel more often than not. Our technicians usually fix a corrupted OS with one of their magical programs or by wiping the machine clean and doing a reinstall.

Your OS can get corrupted from a number of things - a corrupt file, losing power to your Mac, you can even do everything correctly on your computer and still somehow have your OS get corrupted (like washing your hands but still getting a cold). When a computer keeps freezing it could very well be a corrupted operating system (OS) is to blame. Having a Mac that freezes repeatedly is one of the top five most annoying things in the world and one of the top causes of migraines (I don’t know, but it sounds scientific).

If it does need repairs, you can work with an Apple Authorized Service Provider (like us) to get your repair done right. A simple diagnostic test will detect if your hard drive is healthy or not. When a Mac won’t boot it could very well be the hard drive. You’ve probably tried everything, holding the start button, yelling at your computer, swearing, praying, and none of it works. 'My Mac won’t start.'Ī lot of people call or come in with the complaint that after awhile their Mac won’t start.

So we thought it would be helpful to create a list of the most common problems we see, what they usually mean, and how you can fix them, even if you don't have a dedicated Apple specialist running your businesses IT department.

Often businesses have a dedicated IT person who specializes in either Apple IT or PC IT, but rarely both. We've seen it all over the years, and we typically see much of the same stuff time and time again. Our highly-certified service department wants to ensure that your Macs are running at their best.
