If you’re troubleshooting one of those, you may need to look through the rest of your log list to see if your problematic application’s name appears (like 1Password and Cocktail do in my screenshot above). Be aware, though, that some programs’ logs are organized separately. Once you do so, you’ll see a list of logs, quite unsurprisingly.įor the purposes of this tip, we’re only going to be using the “All Messages” query. If you can’t, click on the Show Log List button to rectify that. So after you’ve got Console open, note whether you can see a sidebar of logs showing on the left side of the window. Some of the messages read like the world’s worst technical manual, but you don’t really have to know much to be able to decipher them. What the program does is present your log files all wrapped up in a nice interface, with easy ways to search the entire database. However, if you’re having an issue that you can’t figure out, Console is invaluable in knowing what’s causing the hold-up. The events that most of these messages are about won’t have any effect on you at all, so they can be safely ignored.

If you’re not aware of the Console program (which lives in your Applications > Utilities folder), you’re missing out on a hugely useful way to troubleshoot your machine.
