Keep really problems.
I hope every time I do not use a situation that requires to stop everything and run down a computer problem., in General, does not happen very often.
But computers are complex devices, so when something goes screwy that is not obvious (for example, the display of dead or defective hard disk), it is time to swing into troubleshooting mode.
Basically, the possibilities to reduce the width of the list of troubleshooting, which could contribute to a problem, the best place to start. is often the most possibilities and add complexity, until the problem yourself.
For this reason, I recommend to all running, Mac OS X bare bones test, create a user account; if you experience unexpected behavior, you can log off the current account and log on to the test account.
The test to go to system preferences and select the user accounts icon in the lower-left corner of the window, click the lock icon and type the administrator password. selecting the + (plus) button to add a new account.
Go to the test account you must first log off [Your Account Name] from the Apple menu, then select the name of the test account password.
In this case, the download without the startup items or processes that normally undertaken regularly in order to maintain your account in the background.Try the functions that led to the problem.
If everything works, you can log back into your account, go to the main priority in the login items pane of accounts to the task pane and start the components off until the problem goes away.
Sometimes you need to go further, however, I recently detected when the program will crash when I worked for text components, even the test account that will share the same applications and most fonts as my main account, however, I do not experience the problem, your computer, Mac mini.
Not everyone has a different computer, but it is possible to fake it.
I had to test my MacBook Pro, but cannot afford to back up and remove the hard drive, then install all the time., on the other hand, I was unused internal hard drive (250 GB unit (I) a copy of your hard disk used in making them before my data needs exceeded the capacity), a new, similar status to pay less than 50.
I connected it to the hard drive dock Newertech Voyager (newertech.com), which is incorporated into my Mac via FireWire 800 connection. It is primarily used for backups, but in this case, a new copy of Mac OS x is installed.
When it was ready, I booted it (hold down the option, select your Mac starts as a boot disk in the drive), ran to the Software Update to get the system up to date and ends in a "clean" version with my computer without my normal working environment.
(I) (I) need to be tested on one of the program is installed, the problem has been identified that could allow was related to fonts are installed in my normal configuration and was able to leave the track down the perpetrators.
laptop replacement as the iPad
One of the most common questions about iPad is "may be used instead of lugging my laptop?"
The answer, of course, depends on how you are using a laptop. It obviously does not replace Adobe InDesign, to work, but for example, this week I hit after Microsoft Word files to work with an excellent combination.
I had to write an article, but also had to spend time commuting bus. Apple pages are an obvious first choice word processing, but documents in and out is in Europe.
Instead, I made my writing and editing, dataviz's Documents To Go (www.dataviz.com). it works with Microsoft Word files without converting them, but the more I use it to read and save my Dropbox (www.dropbox.com) stored files.
I now save the active projects of dropbox, stores, back up the files and makes them one of my computers running Dropbox.
When I got back to my Mac, I do not synchronize, move, or run the digital Gymnastics to continue working. I needed only to start Word and open the file in the Dropbox folder.
Dropbox recently app folder set programs in a variety of environments that support service (www.dropbox.com/apps). It has become one of the most important services are used — and is free of charge.
