Have you ever been stuck at startup, confronted by a disk icon with a blinking question mark inside it? Does your Mac ever freeze, failing to respond to any keyboard input? Or have you been plagued by the infamous system bomb alert box? Maybe it's just that your Mac can't find your printer, or a document won't open, or a file stubbornly refuses to be deleted. Solutions to these and hundreds of other problems--including the very latest ones caused by Power Macs, PowerBooks, and that pesky System 7.5--are covered in this completely updated edition of Sad Macs, Bombs, and Other Disasters. From fractious fonts to the ominous sad Mac icon, this troubleshooting handbook covers the whole range of Macintosh (R) problems from symptoms to causes and solutions.

Symptom by symptom, Macintosh expert Ted Landau comes to the rescue of your malfunctioning Mac, walking you through exactly what can go wrong and how to fix it. Inside, you'll find:

• Two entirely new chapters that detail problems and solutions specific to PowerBooks, Power Macs, System 7.5, QuickDraw GX, file sharing, and more
• A Symptom Index offering a listing of every error message and major symptom discussed in the book
• Self-contained Fix-It sections that delve into the details of the most important and useful techniques for solving problems

With the introduction of increasingly complex Mac software and hardware the need has never been greater for a go-to, problem solving resource like Sad Macs, Bombs, and Other Disasters.

Organized by problem type, Sad Macs, Bombs, and Other Disasters delivers troubleshooting symptoms and solutions for each problem including a "Fix-It" section covering specific troubleshooting techniques in depth. With more problems covered and more in-depth explanations than any other book on the market, this book is the Mac user's one-stop, problem-solving shop.
