recovery

After encountering a kernel panic loop, I rebooted my mac to Recovery Mode but now it only starts in Recovery Mode so I chose Install macOS Sierra, connected to my wifi, but it says the disk is locked. :(

TLDR; Boot from install disk for High Sierra, Disk Util won't erase MacHD inside SSD container for clean install, Installer app says Mac HD is locked, never had FileVault engaged and it doesn't show core in diskutil list. I have tried to erase Mac HD but it never moves progress bar and I have...

I thought iPad/iOS keeps the last 30 days of Safari history? (and automatically deletes older history) That was my experience up until recently. However, browsing through my Safari History, it seems more than usually has been deleted. History now only goes back to the 9th of May. I'm the only...

I have a mid-2011 iMac with Sierra. I tried to login this morning and it looked like it was going to work but then the graphics got all jumbled and it rebooted...then kept rebooting. Powered it down and restarted and it just got stuck on the rebooting cycle. I tried recovery mode but it would...

Hi guys, I have a Mac Mini Late 2014, with Windows 10 Bootcamped on. Windows 10 decided to screw me with a forced update which ruined the entire installation. I've backed up the Windows partition. I now want to erase the fusion drive and restore it back to its original factory state. I want...

I did a clean install of 10.13 on a MacbookPro 11,5 and I have the following disk structure: > diskutil list /dev/disk0 (internal, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.3 GB...

So I was trying to install Windows 10 via Bootcamp on my MacBook Pro (2011). I made a new partition in Disk Utility and called it BOOTCAMP (For my Windows) As I'm planning to use Windows a lot from now on, I decided to make it take up a lot of the space. I resized the partition where my OSX High...

Hello, I've been strugglin lately with El Capitan OS system. My problem is that I erased the Macintosh HD Drive and every time I boot on Recovery Mode I can't re-install the new OS because I dont have the Apple ID from this particular machine. I tried all the key board compbinations and none of...

So, my iPhone is completely disabled after I forgot passcode to it. I have no backups, no iCloud, no nothing. Is there a chance in this entire universe by which I can get any iPhone pictures back after doing complete factory wipeout? Any third-party program, any means by which this is possible...

Where can I find the itunes backup files? I think I bricked my iphone, and I want the files back. I was able to find the itunes folder in app data (I'm using windows by the way), but it only had gibberish files Is there somewhere I can find the backups?

Hey guys! Recently i forgot my passcode of my iphone 6s. Hence I had to restore it to factory settings. Due to this I lost all my data from the phone. My icloud storage was full around one and half years back and also I have no itunes backup. Is there any possible way to recover my data? I do...

This has happened on multiple outdoor running workouts. I'll start the workout, run for 20 minutes, click "end" the second I stop running. When I go to the 'recovery heart rate' chart, theres always a single red dot as if it took only 1 reading instead of many readings as my heart goes back go...

I love the feature of the recovery heart rate on my watch 3. The problem i’m finding (part from the graph and numbers being tiny!) is it’s only there on the watch for that day, once a new day starts (and had no excercise yet) then there is no recovery heart rate. Apple needs to put this on the...

So I sort of bricked my old mbp (~2010) with an Ubuntu install attempt...didn't realize that the auto-installer wouldn't even let me choose which partition to install to... Backed out of the install before it properly started but, not before having the mbr/partition table (or mac equivalent)...

My girlfriend has an old Apple iPod Nano 3rd Gen 8 GB that she bought a long time ago full of music and over 1400 photos. The musics are still there, they play fine, it even show videoclips. However, all the pictures show as black blocks. The memory usage inside [ About ] confirms there's quite...

So I posted earlier about making never booted images and think I have found a way to accomplish what I want, but still have a few questions as they came up after the fact. First, I have created a bootable drive with a large number of partitions on it using various means such as Diskwarrior...

So a few days ago I was using my iPhone 6s when it randomly decides to shut down and try to reboot, except it doesn't get past the Apple logo (stays on it for 3-4 minutes, then the screen just goes off). I've been able to get it into Recovery Mode, and have attempted to use ReiBoot to kick it...

Hi, I installed mac OS High Sierra on my iMac Late 2015 27” i5 5K. Something I completely regret doing. It was a disaster. So I decided to re-install macOS Sierra. Firstly, I erased the Macintosh HD. I booted up into Recovery (Command R) and erased the Macintosh HD in my iMac using disk...

So my MBP (late 2009) has started to show the flashing folder with a question mark in it. I've tried CMD + R , Option, Option + D, and Shift all on startup and all of these keys or key combinations dont do anything. When I press option to boot from a USB with El Captain on it to re install OS X...
