Where to Get Troubleshooting Help

If the basic steps described in this chapter haven't helped, the universe is crawling with additional help sources.

Help Online

These Web sites contain nothing but troubleshooting discussions, tools, and help:

  • MacFixIt (www.macfixit.com). The world's one-stop resource for Mac troubleshooting advice.

  • Mac newsgroups (such as comp.sys.mac). A newsgroup is an Internet bulletin board, which you can access using a program like Microsoft Entourage or Unison (www.panic.com). If you're polite and concise, you can post questions to the multitudes here and get more replies to them than you'll know what to do with.
