recovery

Hey guys I'm new to this Forum and I was wondering if you guys could help me out with some issues I'm having with 3 Macbook pros that i recently got from my friend that runs a computer recycling business. The Macbooks have an operating system on them that works fine but it is password locked...

I was having issues with the latest Catalina OS X on my iMac. I read that I could restore the previous OS by booting in Recovery Mode. I selected a previous date from my Time Capsule backups and started the process. It looked like it was going to take a ridiculous amount of hours. The next day I...

Hello everyone I currently have iPhone 6s that is failing to boot, The phone will not power up unless it is plugged in to the charger/PC even then when the phone powers up the apple logo appears and then the phone restarts and is stuck in this loop constantly. I have been trying endlessly for...

Even after I select my Catalina partition as the default, or boot into hard disk selection, my Mac still boots into macOS recovery instead of the OS. Any ideas? It still finds my catalina users which is the first screen on macOS recovery.

Hi all, Basically think my hard drive may have died but need some help diagnosing what happened and how I can resolve it (mainly recovering the data). It’s a MacBook Pro 15” I think it’s early or late 2013, retina screen. With an internal 500gb SSD. I’ve had boot camp installed with windows...

Hey everyone, This morning I woke up to my iPhone X stuck in reboot mode (Black Screen & Apple Logo). I was just on a long trip and accumulated tons of media which is why my storage is completely full. I am desperately trying to figure out how I can fix this WITHOUT performing a factory reset...

Hi, I have an A1398 MBP, which was working fine until last couple of days. I will list the series of events that occurred:- 1. It suddenly started booting in safe mode. 2. Did not accept the password. 3. There was a left shift key issue seems to be. 4. Used the Right shift to key in the...

Command+R or Command+Option+R just boots back into the desktop. Wondering what I need to do to get Recovery to work and stay available in the future. Not much out there on creating or recreating a Recovery Partition for my situation. For kicks, here's my diskutil list results ("Brain" is my m.2...

My wife's iPhone SE was overloaded with data and hung up while rebooting. Then after attempting to update to the newest firmware, I kept stuck in recovery mode. The problem is, that the iPhone is too full for recovery. Because my wife didn't make a backup, I want to avoid a flat install...

Hi all, Today I found that my iMac 27 late 2014 have SSD installed but I didn't see it on my Disk Utility - I only saw 1TB HDD called Macintosh HDD. Of course I am stupid, because it wasn't separate drives but one hybrid drive - fusion drive. But I thought it is strange and I tried to solve...

Hello, I accidentally deleted the Macintosh HD as I was trying to erase the data on it because I just bought it from someone with their files still on it. Doing this I accidentally deleted the whole thing rather than just the files on it. I tried going into disk utility and creating a new file...

My 2011 Macbook Pro running El Capitan was running fine until recently when it suddenly decided to stop booting after getting a new charger which I assume was sketchy (refurbished apple from ebay). I believe that my fusion drive has split back into the original hdd and ssd and now I can't boot...

All the articles i can find suggest it can be over an hour depending on equipment and internet speed. The globe has been revolving for just about 12 hours now. I chose this route because the kernel seemed to be panicking and the only new software i had installed was that to operate the GoPro...

I wanted to restore my Mac. The guide I found said to go to recovery mode by holding command + r upon restarting, and in there to go to disc utility and then delete the drive. I did this, and then I closed the disk utility in order to select the option to restore macOS. However, when selecting...

Hi, Earlier this week I used my Mac Pro to create a Boot USB so I could reinstall the OS on a separate Macbook. My Mac Pro has two harddrives in it. One for the OS and one for storage. I'm not quite sure how/where the error occurred but the result is that it seems that the storage harddrive...

Hi all, This is my first post here so apologies if this has been raised before. If there is another thread can someone please point me in the right direction? I currently have a MacBook Pro 13", a few days ago the system crashed, just switched to a black screen, I left it a while, then...

Yesterday I updated something through the MacBook Appstore. I really do not know what I was updating exactly. I only know it was in the AppStore. It could've been an update from High Sierra to Mojave. I'm not very sure but I think it completed as the red notification badge was gone already and I...

Bought DiskWarrior. In the process of attempting to create a bootable drive to recover my TimeMachine backup, I ran the DiskWarrior Recovery Maker, but the dropdown to select a Source macOS Recovery Disk is grayed out. I downloaded Mojave and made a bootable USB, but it is not recognized by the...

Hi! When I press Command R at boot this page about reset password appears https://i.imgur.com/JLPiu5E.jpg and then before I can do anything I get a Kernel Panic and a reboot over and over again. I can't seem to enter Recovery. I just want to enter into the Recovery screen. iMac Late 2015 i5...
