6 Tips and Troubleshooting
When you have questions
If you want to know how to do a particular task with your computer, refer to Macintosh Guide in the Guide (h) menu. For instructions on using Macintosh Guide, see Chapter 2 of this manual. If the suggestions in this chapter and Macintosh Guide don’t solve the problem, go to Chapter 7 for some diagnostic techniques to help you solve system software and hard disk problems.
When you run into trouble
While you’re using your computer, you may see a bomb icon or an error message, or you may have a problem such as the pointer (8) “freezing” on the screen. If you have trouble with your computer, take a few minutes to read the information in this chapter and Chapter 7. If your problem is related to a particular procedure, you should also look for information on that procedure in Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu. If you are unable to access Macintosh Guide (for example, if your screen is “frozen”), refer to this chapter to see if you can resolve the problem.
