MacUser Supplement - Workbook – All your Mac-related problems solved!

The Mac is a very well-crafted piece of kit. It looks great, it works well and, for most of us at least, it rarely goes wrong. It's the perfect marriage of software, hardware and operating system brilliance.

But sometimes it throws up a question or problem. We know, because we receive so many questions to the Works section in each issue of MacUser. Covering every aspect of living and working with a Mac, the queries we receive range from the relatively simple - diagnosing issues with connecting a printer via USB, for example - to the more complex, such as securing user accounts on an Xserve.

The trouble with using a Mac is that it's a minority platform, which means that finding someone to help you out outside of major towns and cities can be tricky. Even if you do have a local Mac fix-it to hand, their services can be costly, and it can take some time to work your problem through. That's why our on-hand expert, Howard Oakley, works through your questions in every issue, answering each one in turn and helping you to become a better Mac user.

Over the years, he's built up an impressive library of questions and answers, which we share with you every issue. The trouble is, with 25 issues a year, those questions and answers are scattered through a large batch of magazines, which can be tough to keep track of. That's why we've gathered together the best questions and answers from the past 12 months in this supplement, giving you the chance to keep an essential guide to the most common Mac problems close at hand. Here, you'll find not only readers' queries, but also more in-depth diagnoses of common complaints in our Emergency Room columns, which cover the fundamentals of modem-day computing. If you keep only one part of this guide, make it those - cut them out and keep them in your top drawer.

Howard will continue answering your questions in the magazine, so send your queries to help@macuser.co.uk.
