Each day I work on my client's Macs, I come up against easy to fix problems and others requiring significant effort. These links represent some of the best efforts by others to summarize the vast body of knowledge needed by a Macintosh specialist working on a broad range of Macs and the many operating systems in use daily.
Granted, you will need to search out the information for YOUR Mac and YOUR operating system.
Consider this data a broad overview and an introduction to the basics.

This site includes a comprehensive list of Mac troubleshooting, diagnostic, maintenance and tips links (over 750) for legacy/classic Macs and OS 7.x, OS 8.x and OS 9.x. The links were found on the Web and in the AppleCare Knowledge Base, and cover the most common problems - both hardware and software. Also included are links to troubleshooting, diagnostic and maintenance documentation, freeware, shareware, commercial software utilities, and other Mac discussion groups.
