How we test every fix
Run on a real Mac
Every step is done on a MacBook Pro 14" (M1 Pro, 16 GB) before it is published. The Mac, the macOS version and the date sit at the top of each guide.
Built-in fixes first
macOS settings, Finder and Terminal come first. An app is mentioned only when it really solves the problem, and our own apps are labelled.
Sources you can check
Each guide links to Apple Support or the tool maker's docs, so you can confirm the steps yourself.
Re-checked over time
Guides are dated. When a guide is six months old it is flagged for a re-test on the current macOS.
