Fixing Mac Startup Problems with macOS Recovery
Introduction: If your Mac won’t start, don’t worry – macOS Recovery can help. Depending on your Mac type (check if it’s newer with Apple Silicon), there are a few steps to follow.
For Newer Macs (Apple Silicon):
- Turn on your Mac and hold the power button until you see a gear icon and ‘Options.’
- Click the gear icon and press “Continue.”
For Other Macs:
- Make sure your internet is working, then turn on your Mac.
- Hold down Command (⌘) and R until you see the Apple Logo.
After logging in, do the following:
Reinstall macOS:
- Choose “Reinstall macOS” from the options.
During Installation:
- Keep your Mac screen awake and don’t let it sleep.
- Your Mac might restart and show progress bars – this is normal, so don’t touch anything.
- If asked, enter your password and let the installation finish.
- If the installer can’t find your disk, you might need to erase it.
- If you have a choice between ‘Macintosh HD’ and ‘Macintosh HD – Data,’ pick ‘Macintosh HD.’
