76 Chapter 4 Problem, Meet Solution
Occasionally you may have problems while working with your Mac Pro. Read on
for troubleshooting tips to try when you have a problem. You can also find more
troubleshooting information in Help Center or on the Mac Pro Support website at
www.apple.com/support/macpro.
When you experience a problem with your Mac Pro, there’s usually a simple and quick
solution. Think about the conditions that led up to the problem. Making a note of
things you did before the problem occurred will help you narrow down the possible
causes of the problem and find the answers you need. Things to note include:
 Any software that you recently installed.
 Any new hardware (such as memory, graphics or PCI Express cards, hard disk drives)
that you installed or peripherals that you connected.
An Ounce of Prevention
If you have a problem with your computer or software, having kept up-to-date
Time Machine backups ensures that your data won’t be lost. If you make regular
Time Machine backups, you can restore your software and all your data to exactly
the way it was at the time of the backup. Even serious issues are of less concern
when you safeguard your information with Time Machine.
