Troubleshooting
Occasionally you may have problems while working
with your Mac mini. This chapter gives you some
solutions to try when you have a problem.
This chapter contains solutions to problems that prevent you from working with your
computer, such as a system freeze or a computer that will not start up. You can find
more troubleshooting information in Mac OS Help (see page 29) or on the Apple
Support website at www.apple.com/support.
When you experience a problem with your computer, there is usually a simple and
quick solution. When you encounter a problem, try to make a note of things you did
before the problem occurred. This will 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 version of the Mac OS installed on your computer.
 Any software that you recently installed. Certain applications install extensions that
may not be compatible with the Classic environment.
 Any new hardware (such as a peripheral) that you connected.
