Troubleshooting Common Mac Issues Like a Pro

Fixing common Mac issues can help you get back on track faster when problems arise. Here are some tips for dealing with common issues as a professional.

1. Mac running slowly

If your Mac seems slow, try closing unused apps and freeing up space on your hard drive. Use Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities) to monitor feature-rich apps, and close them if necessary.

Restart your Mac periodically to keep the system up to date and improve performance.

2. The application freezes or does not respond

If an app freezes, try using Command + Option + Esc to open the Force Quit menu, then select the unresponsive app and click Force Quit.

Stop thinking about updating if the app continues to freeze since updates often fix bugs.

3. Wi-Fi connection information

Restart your router and turn off Wi-Fi on your Mac for a few seconds before returning. If the problem persists, go to System Preferences > Network, select Wi-Fi, click the minus (-) button, and select Remove it. Try adding it again and reconnecting.

Enabling wireless diagnostics (hold the Option and click the Wi-Fi icon on the menu bar) can also help identify connectivity issues.

4. Quick removal of the battery

For battery information, open System Preferences > Battery to see which apps are consuming the most power. Change settings like battery health and screen brightness to extend battery life.

Close power-up apps and reduce screen brightness to maximize battery life.

5. Mac Cannot Close

If your Mac fails to shut down, make sure all applications are closed. If it still does not release, press and hold the Power Button for about 10 seconds and force shutdown.

Make sure macOS is updated to avoid system errors that can cause shutdown issues.
