Problem, Meet Solution

Occasionally you may have problems while working with your Mac mini. Read on for

troubleshooting tips to try when you have a problem. You can also find more

troubleshooting information in Mac Help or on the Mac mini Service & Support

website at www.apple.com/support/macmini.

If you experience a problem working with your Mac mini, there is usually a simple and

quick solution. If you encounter a problem, try to make a note of what you did before

the problem occurred. This can help you narrow down the possible causes of the

problem and then find the answers you need. Things to note include:

 The applications you were using when the problem occurred. Problems that occur

only with a specific application may indicate that the application is not compatible

with the Mac OS version installed on your computer.

 Any software that you recently installed.

 Any new hardware (such as a peripheral) that you connected.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to open your Mac mini. If your Mac mini needs service,

see “Learning More, Service, and Support” on page 41 for information about how to

contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple for service. Your Mac mini

doesn’t have any user-serviceable parts.
