I’m Anson Alexander. I run AnsonAlex.com, where I publish practical, real-world technology solutions—especially for problems that don’t have clean, official answers.
I’ve been building tutorials online since 2011, and my work has reached 60+ million viewers across YouTube and the web. My focus isn’t trends or hype—it’s solving technical problems clearly, safely, and repeatably.
If you’re here because something is broken, confusing, or “should work but doesn’t,” you’re in the right place.
What I Actually Do Here
AnsonAlex.com exists to answer questions like:
- Why does this software behave differently on my system?
- How do I fix something Apple or Microsoft no longer supports?
- What’s the safe way to work around a limitation?
- Which option actually works—not just on paper, but in practice?
A large portion of my work focuses on unsupported macOS installs, Boot Camp, Windows on Mac hardware, system recovery, performance fixes, and edge-case configurations. These are problems millions of people run into—but very few guides explain properly.
I also publish clear tutorials on productivity, browsers, utilities, and workflow improvements—anything that helps people use technology with less friction.
How I Build Tutorials
Every guide I publish follows the same rules:
- I test it myself on real hardware whenever possible.
- I explain the why, not just what to click.
- I call out risks, limitations, and unsupported scenarios clearly.
- I update content when things change or when better methods exist.
- I avoid filler—if it’s on the page, it should help you solve the problem.
Clear answers matter most when things aren’t working.
Why People Trust This Site
- Over 320,000 YouTube subscribers
- More than 60 million total views
- Multiple tutorials with millions of views each
- Solutions demonstrated on real machines—not just virtual demos
- Clear explanations of what can go wrong (and how to recover)
I don’t publish fixes unless I’ve tested them myself. When something is risky, unsupported, or experimental, I say so clearly. When something breaks, I update the guide.
Unsupported macOS and system-level troubleshooting are the most recognized part of my work, but AnsonAlex.com isn’t limited to Apple. You’ll also find guides covering Windows, browsers, PayPal, productivity tools, and common software issues that waste people’s time.
Where This All Started
AnsonAlex.com began as a personal project to document fixes I didn’t want to forget. Over time, those solutions turned into videos, and those videos turned into a YouTube channel that now reaches millions of people.
The growth wasn’t the goal—clarity was. A lot of “official” help pages skip the messy parts, and the messy parts are usually where people get stuck. That’s the gap I try to fill.
Background (Short Version)
I hold a degree in International Business & Management Information Systems, have worked in IT roles and at an Apple Store, and previously authored multiple technical and business courses for LinkedIn Learning (LinkedIn account required to view).
Those experiences shaped how I teach: practical first, theory second, and always with the end user in mind.
Outside of Tutorials
When I’m not testing software or documenting fixes, I’m usually gardening, gaming, or spending time with my wife and kids. Curiosity doesn’t really turn off—I just apply it to different things.
I’m still learning every day. This site is a reflection of that.
