Macintosh Troubleshooting Pocket Guide

by David Lerner, Tekserve Corporation, Aaron Freimark

Book Overview

The press has called Tekserve Corporation, the idiosyncratic Macintosh repair store in New York City, "The Epicenter of Mac Culture in NYC", "The leader in Apple triage services" and "warm and eclectic - maybe even a little eccentric". Unfortunately, not everyone can get down to Tekserve's West 23rd St location for the clear, down-to-earth Mac troubleshooting advice that Tekserve's owners dispense.

A Great Little Book....

The Macintosh Troubleshooting Pocket Guide is a great little book. It is informative. It is for OS 9 and OS X. It's small size is useful and convenient to carry it around with you and your laptop. It's small size, also, makes it undaunting for those who don't particularly like to read. Finally, it has a nice, question and short answer, format to it. Here are a couple of questions/problems in the book for example; "A disk is stuck in my Mac." My Mac froze up. Now what?" I just spilled beer/tea/coffee/syrup on my keyboard." It then goes on to give a short answer to your problem. The information ranges from problems such as these, to basic computer questions such as "What is Firewire Target Mode?" "How do I turn on File Sharing?" and "How do I clean my screen?" At $12.95 it is a great book to have around whether you're a beginner or more experienced. If you are a beginner you can read it from cover to cover in order to learn more about your computer. If you're more experienced it is a great reference to have around if you can't quite remember something or that certain key combination. Finally if you don't like to read, this is the book for you because it is about a centimeter thick instead of an inch or two thick, yet is surprisingly packed with good useful information.
