Synopsis

Students don't need to be experts to fix their Macs-most problems don't require hardware repair skills or advanced technical knowledge. That's the philosophy behind the bestselling Sad Macs, Bombs, and Other Disasters, now in its fourth edition. Newly updated to cover Mac OS 9 and the G4s, it's the premier troubleshooting guide for anyone who owns a Mac and wants to keep frustrating downtime to a minimum.

Not only will this book help students diagnose and fix the most common-and annoying-Mac problems, it will sharpen their diagnostic skills so they can apply them to problems they may not find in the book. Sad Macs gives them the solutions they're looking for in plain English-not technical jargon-which makes it appropriate for everyone who wants to keep their Mac smiling, from near-beginners on up.

Book Overview:

With the increasing complexity of Mac hardware and software, the likelihood of something going wrong is great. Yet most problems don't require hardware repairs or advanced technical skills--just some simple knowledge. That's what this book provides. Not only does Sad Macs, Bombs, and Other Disasters show readers how to fix things and prevent problems, but it sharpens their diagnostic skills so they can fix problems that aren't discussed in the book. It's been updated for coverage through Mac OS 9 (also applicable through later OS versions), and looks at FireWire, USB, iMacs, PowerBooks, the iBook, blue-and-white G3 Macs, G4 Macs, QuickTime 4.0, DVD drives, CD-R and CD-RW disc drives, infrared connections, cable modems (and other high-speed connections), SCSI cards--and much more. A Fix-It section provides an in-depth look at critical troubleshooting tools, and an extensive index helps readers easily find the solution they need.
