My question should be: Who keeps telling you Macs crash? appears like a computing gadget man or woman who would not comprehend Macs. those are often a similar ones who say that Apple is going out of organization each few years, even even if Apple is the biggest unmarried computing gadget producer with a more suitable market percentage each 12 months. the computing gadget international produces extra pcs complete, even if that's counting the production of each of the diverse computing gadget manufacturers. you've had your iMac on account that 2009 and it hasn't crashed, so what makes you imagine that it will now? the in reality pcs I listen about continually crashing are abode windows machines. Any computing gadget can crash less than the astounding situations (corrupted device, hardware failure, and so on.), even if the Mac is time-commemorated for its very low celebration of mess united statesand crashes. My (now) 18 Mac community hasn't had any crashes that required any huge software change. I did have a G5 iMac that died from a fried CPU. a distinct exam confirmed that the iMac's cooling slots had gotten full of airborne dirt and mud, ensuing in it overheating. that's hardcontinual is now interior the determination 2 fit in a G5 tower. keep your Mac sparkling! I actually have lost some complicated drives over the years, yet a reliable backup technique has kept archives loss to a minimum. (complicated drives have a lengthy lifespan, yet no longer something lasts perpetually.) there have been some lockups the position a computing gadget needed to be restarted, yet none that did any damage. All lockups were a results of corrupted software, or pilot mistakes. the most perfect element I ever did became to operate Uninterpretable ability substances as backups for my pcs. ability outages can do damage to something electric powered if there's a voltage spike because the flexibility is going out. A dozen of my pcs even survived a house fireplace. They weren't uncovered to the nice and cozy temperature, yet were soaked by utilizing water by utilizing the fireplace branch. After some days of drying out, all were again in operation. (except for the only computing gadget I had in my community used as an example to shoppers why I favored Macs.)
