Re: Take Control Books from mac-access list [was Re: troubleshooting the mac procedure]

[Cathy]

hi Devin,

the mac access site has about 120 books available if I remember correctly.they 
range in price from $1.20 to $3. they use paypal for purchase. so if you have a 
paypal account or a credit card you are good to go. they take US dollars or 
other currency, but I don't remember what other kind. 

I am in the process of placing my order and am eagerly awaiting my books which 
will be placed on a virtual bookshelf for me to download whenever and however 
many times I want.

Re: Take Control Books from mac-access list [was Re: troubleshooting the mac procedure]

[Devin Prater]

Are they in the iBooks store? I only will have money from iTunes, most likely. 
So if they're not on the iBooks store, or somewhere within the Apple thing, I 
wouldn't probably be able to get them.

Hi Cathy and Others,

I think there have been a few additions to the Take Control Book series since 
Lynne's massive update of the available table books last Fall. There's now a 
"Take Control of iTunes 11: The FAQ", "Take Control of Mail in iOS 6", and 
"Take Control of Networking & Security in iOS 6".

HTH.  Cheers,

Take Control Books from mac-access list [was Re: troubleshooting the mac procedure]

[Esther]

Hi Cathy and Others,

The Take Control books (with discount) are purchased either from Gordon and 
Lynne, or through Travis Siegel in the UK.  Here's the Mac-Access list web page 
information:
http://www.mac-access.net/Take-Control.html

(This should have been one of the pages you viewed when you joined the list.)  
By the way, there's no commercial connection with the Take Control people.  
Gordon and Lynne negotiated this deal for us because we were all using these 
guides.  I remember one time on list, several years ago, when I finally emailed 
to someone off list that I'd answered his last three questions by looking up 
the information from the Take Control of Apple Mail ebook, so he might want to 
just buy a copy and cut out the middleman!

Another good thing is that you can get these books in multiple formats (if you 
want an ePub version to read on your iPhone, or a mobi format for the Kindle 
app, or a PDF version.)  An advantage of buying from the Mac-Access list (apart 
from the discount), is that they will manage a more accessible site for you to 
download your different versions. And Gordon and Lynne know who the list 
members are!

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: troubleshooting the mac procedure

[Esther]

Hi Cathy,

One of the best sources of the kind of information you're seeking is the Take 
Control guide series.   You can read the details in "Take Control of 
Troubleshooting Your Mac (second edition)" by Joe Kissell, which list members 
can purchase at an 80% discount (e.g, $2 or about £1.30).  That book focuses on 
an immediate response to problems, and recovery methods, rather than preventive 
maintenance.  Maintenance programs (like Cocktail or OnyX) are discussed in 
Kissell's book, "Take Control of Maintaining Your Mac".  He also does another 
Take Control guide on backing up your Mac.

A good (but old, and rather detailed and lengthy) web site to check for this 
kind of information is the Mac Attorney web site on OSX Maintenance and 
Troubleshooting
http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html 

Most of the concepts covered there still apply, but you'll find the coverage in 
the Take Control guides more readable and up to date. If you want a couple of 
web articles that cover some of the solutions that were recently discussed, 
here are two articles from the MacTutsPlus web site that came up in a Google 
search:
• "5 Quick Fixes to Common Mac Problems" by Jordan Merrick (January 22, 2013)
http://mac.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tips-shortcuts/5-quick-fixes-to-common-mac-problems/
• "5 More Quick Fixes to Common Mac Problems" by Jordan Merrick (January 29, 
2013)
http://mac.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tips-shortcuts/5-more-quick-fixes-to-common-mac-problems/

Use Safari Reader (Command-Shift-R) to read these pages.  They discuss 
resetting the PRAM (NVRAM) in the first article, and booting into Safe mode in 
the second.  These are the two suggestions that I made to Matthew yesterday, 
and the discussion about booting into Safe mode also suggests that you just 
boot into Safe mode by holding down the Shift key when rebooting, but that you 
don't try to log in in this mode -- just restart your computer.  (This is why 
the fact that VoiceOver isn't supported for Safe mode logins doesn't matter -- 
you only need to wait long enough to ensure that the boot has finished, and 
take advantage of the fact that Safe mode clears caches and does some other 
checks).  The tutorials also describe the kind of preventive maintenance that 
OnyX (and Cocktail) will do, as far as cache cleaning and removing log files, 
in addition to running Disk Utility repairs of permissions.

The main point is that many of these solutions and information resources are 
not expensive; they just require some action on the user's part.  Trial 
versions of SuperDuper! and Carbon Copy Cloner can also be used to create a 
bootable clone of your hard drive.

HTH.   Cheers,

Esther

Re: troubleshooting the mac procedure

[Sarah k Alawami]

Onyx is quite good, except for the latest update. It did something to someone's 
finder and made it unusable.  I use clean my mac 2 and it works really good. It 
cleans out my system caches and logs. Ther'es also cleaner as well which also 
is pretty good. I'm sure I'm missing some but that's what I use and so far it 
has done me no wrong.

Take care.

Re: troubleshooting the mac procedure

[Cathy]

hello,

so it sounds to me that my best way to avoid difficulties with my mac would be 
to run some clean up utilities to keep things running well? 
are there any utilities that come with the mac? if so which are they and are 
they , enough for basic clean up or should I get another ap?
?


I noticed some utilities mentioned, but wondered which of these utilities would 
be best for the mac, mini, which would be the most effective and most 
accessible.
, thanks, Cathy

Re: troubleshooting the mac procedure

[John Panarese]

   There are various Apple Support Knowledge base articles that address this 
matter.  The thing is, it really comes down to understanding the startup 
process and then determining where the problem is occurring.  For example, 
there is a system initiation session, which includes Firmware, Booter, Kernel 
and System LaunchD processes, and the User Session, which includes the Login 
Window, User LaunchD and User Environment stages.

There are specific steps to take to determine where the problem is actually 
occurring in startup, but I don't know if there is a master article that 
addresses them all.  Also, some diagnosis methods are not accessible to the 
blind, since VoiceOver, for example, is not available during Safe Boot or when 
using a startup in Verbose Mode.

Re: troubleshooting the mac procedure

[Zachary Kline]

A lot of this depends on the kind of problem you're having, but, in general, 
reboots are a good first step. I would miss trust any general troubleshooting 
procedure, because it could not possibly catch every permutation of problems. 
Reboots, using the recovery utility, etc are general steps for really nasty 
problems, but utterly inappropriate for some others.
Best,
Zack.

troubleshooting the mac procedure

[Cathy]

hello,
I am not having a problem with my mac at the moment thankfully, but i wondered 
if there is info out there to explain how to trouble shoot a problem with a 
mac. I was reading all the suggestions for some one's problem today  and it had 
me wondering if there is a step by step process a person might go through to 
resolve problems when the Mac isn't acting properly.   . I have seen 
suggestions here and there on the list, but would appreciate a step by step 
procedure to follow. just want to be prepared and have braille notes ready for 
the day when I can't get the mac to work and I am about to panic.

thanks, Cathy
