      My Mac is Slow or Won’t Boot to the Desktop

      There are several things that can cause slow performance. We recommend taking these self-help steps to speed things up. Click on each numbered item for the instructions for that step.

      1. Repair Your Hard Disk in Single User Mode.
      2. Safe Boot your Mac.
      3. Run Cocktail, a Mac OS X maintenance utility.
      4. Find and delete viruses and malware.

      If those steps don’t speed things up, it’s time to contact us for remote or on site service.
