The MacXperts prefer to prevent problems as opposed to fixing one! We have found two programs to be best for prevention - AppleJack and Mac HelpMate.

Feel free to download and install AppleJack and Mac HelpMate to help your Mac stay healthy, and you productive. Mac HelpMate may also be configured to notify The MacXperts of potential problems with your Mac. If you are a client, please call our office so that we may configure Mac HelpMate at no charge.
