This section contains information about system processes and applications. In the left-hand menu, you’ll find the following logs and information: The Console app is divided into an ‘All Messages’ tab, which displays all the available logs, and an ‘Errors and faults’ tab, which displays error messages only. You can view all of your Mac’s system logs in the Console application, which you’ll find in your ‘Applications > Utilities’ folder. Since these logs tend to contain an overwhelming amount of information, I’ll also be sharing tips on how to zero in on exactly the information you need, in order to diagnose what’s wrong with your Mac. In this article, I’ll show you how to access and view these logs using macOS’ built-in Console application. These logs are invaluable if you want to try and fix the problem yourself, but they can also help support staff get your Mac back up and running, as quickly and painlessly as possible. The good news is that behind the scenes, your Mac keeps a log of everything it does, and you can use these logs to figure out exactly what’s going wrong with macOS, or any of the applications you’ve installed. Regardless of whether you plan to fix the issue yourself, or pass your Mac along to technical support, the first step should always be gathering more information. When your Mac goes wrong, the first step to fixing the problem, is working out what caused that problem in the first place!
