This guide will help you through 5 of the most common and frequent problems MacBook users face. You’ll be through all your pesky problems, just follow this list.

5 MacBook Problems You Might be Facing Often and How to Solve Them

Problems while starting your MacBook

If your MacBook is stuck on the loading screen for way too long or if you’ve been staring at that grey screen more than your desktop screen, then here is your solution.

Problems while starting your MacBook

To prevent this problem from recurring, you can try booting your MacBook in Safe Mode. The Safe Mode is better because MacOS boots with the bare minimum of software and applications required for functioning properly. It also runs a check on your startup disk and repairs any directory issues that might be causing delays or problems in booting.

To start the process, you will need to start your Mac the normal way and long-press the ‘Shift’ key.

You will see the Apple logo and the login screen open up.

Release the Shift key once the login screen appears. This will take quite some time as the system runs the check on your hard disk.

You can also leave the Safe Mode. This can be done just by starting your MacBook the usual way, without pressing any keys.

MacBook starts dying in the middle of work

If your battery runs out and the system shuts down randomly while you’re in the middle of important work, then this might be your problem.

Try restarting your Macbook by long-pressing the power button for 20 seconds and waiting for the operating system to do its work. Once your system restarts successfully, restart your MacBook again for it to open properly.

If doing it doesn’t solve your problem, you can also try resetting your System Management Controller (SMC). It basically controls the majority of hardware processes in macOS and can rectify many issues such as battery problems, sleep mode issues etc.

If none of the above methods helps, then you should take your MacBook to the Apple Service Centre. You’ll be able to acquire a replacement based on your warranty terms.

Constant Flickering

If you are facing a constant screen flickering problem, then the solutions mentioned below might be best for you.

Constant Flickering

This problem attains first place on the list of the most annoying problems ever and might be caused due to unsuccessful booting. The oldest trick in the book for this problem is to just restart your system.

If you think some software is causing this problem, then you can restart the particular software from the Apple menu available at the top left corner of the Mac screen.

If this doesn’t solve your problem, you can try updating your system to the latest version of macOS or switch off automatic graphics switching to ensure lesser power consumption.

If none of the above methods works then you can attempt to fix your problems in Safe Mode.

Incompatible items while starting up

Many times, you may have problems while booting and starting your MacBook because of your autostart or login apps, that is, the apps that start by themselves after opening your device are incompatible with your system. It requires a bit of tinkering around to find the particular app responsible for this problem.
