ASK
> Searching within iWork docs
I’ve lost an important Numbers spreadsheet, but can’t remember its file name, only some contents. Can Spotlight search inside files?
> iPhone too easily muted
I keep accidentally muting my iPhone, causing missed calls. How can I stop this?
> iMac grinding to a halt
My iMac 2012 has a 3TB Fusion Drive, and has recently slowed to a crawl, taking seconds to respond to a mouse click. What’s wrong with it?
> Unresponsive MacBook
The display on my MacBook has suddenly gone black, and it seems unresponsive. When I try starting it up, it still chimes, but the screen just stays black. What has broken?
> Wobbly internal hard drive
I boot my iMac 27–inch Late 2013 from an external SSD, and now its internal hard drive has become wobbly, sometimes not appearing in the Finder when it starts up. Disk Utility says it can’t be unmounted, so it can’t check it. What should I do?
> Mac stuck in Afghanistan
When I performed a clean install of Big Sur on an old MacBook Air the installer never asked me my country, and has set that as Afghanistan. How can I correct that?
> Stripping hidden files
When I send others a compressed archive of my work folder, they complain about the .DS_Store files inside it. How can I rid my Mac of them?
> Wipe a Mac for its new owner
How should I prepare my old Mac before passing it on for my daughter to “inherit”?
