If you have a problem working with your
MacBook Pro, check here first for solutions
and advice.
When you experience a problem working with your MacBook Pro, there is usually a
simple and quick solution. Be aware of the conditions that led up to the problem.
Making a note of things you did before the problem occurred will help you narrow
down possible causes and then find the answers you need.
Note the following:
 The applications you were using when the problem occurred. Problems that occur
only with a specific application might indicate that the application is not compatible
with the version of the Mac OS installed on your computer.
 Any software that you recently installed, especially software that added items to the
System folder.
 Any new hardware that you installed, such as additional memory or a peripheral.
