By the way, when you purchase a new Mac it is a bargain to purchase the three years of support for hardware and tech problems called AppleCare. Believe me, it is a bargain and has helped me many times with Macs that no longer have the AppleCare protection plan. If you don't have an AppleCare protection plan, the most you will pay Apple, if anything, is $19 for an incident that they will work with you solve for up to 30 days. I think it is best to:Ĥ - Perhaps, download free mac maintenance software such as Onyx (as I have) from and use it on a regular basis.ĥ - Also check your down load folder for files that you no longer need and delete themĦ - Call AppleCare at 800-MYAPPLE if you really have a problem or concern.
