Mac Won't Boot

i keep trying to boot in rec mode, but a lock icon keeps popping on screen, help what am i doing wrong...

Thank you ❤

Does this method affect the hard drive and files

Thank you so much!!

Factory reset is not possibly done on online MacBook, you have to go through some steps on Activating your mac, most especially when it has locked to previous owner, Timcoding is able for this, he did retrieval my process and my MacBook permanently unlocked.

What are the keys when using a PC keyboard and an iMac?

THE A1286 MACBOOK PRO 2011 WILL NOT BOOT UP IN "MAC OS UTILITIES"....SO STOPPED IT !!!!

I WISH TO BE IN THIS LIST OF HAPPY PEOPLE WERE THIS SIMPLE TRICK WORKED FOR THEM. SMH....

Maybe it helps someone else: disk utility didn’t help me either the only thing that helped in my case was to use Time Machine

im using different types of keyboard.. what is the command + r in thisc type

What a star thank you so much saved me ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Mine rather comes as reset password instead of the recovery mode and all that, it rather allows me to change the password
And also after changing the password it restarts again and get stuck🥲any help please? It's a MacBook Air 13

I’m trying this but on my old MacBook Pro it doesn’t give the option Run. Should I just select Verify Disk?

Wow.. the way i was depressed late last night bcos my iMac wouldn't boot. Your video helped me solve the problem at first try just now. Thanks

Thank you Bubba you 've just saved my f... Life😊 and ass.

Thanks
After two years it’s finally working 🔥🔥🔥

My old macair won't let me even start First Aid.

Command R worked!!!! Thank you so much!!!

My mac was working fine last night. When i turned it on this morning it was doing a loading bar for some reason (i didnt have any updates go) and then it takes me to the profile select screen, i go to login, the page goes white and then goes right back to the profile select. Im using lion osx (my music computer) on a 2011 mac mini. Never had this issue before, please, someone help 😩

Thank you so much

Still on the same screen

I can't seem too get far. It loads the progress bar about halfway then shuts back off.

Mine would not turn off. Even when I held the power button. Then all of a sudden, it kernel panicked. Why did I get a Mac ☹️

I have the same problem with my iMac now - and it’s loading phase is complete but after it, it’s showing a black screen with like a band in the middle of it with small red particules

Thanks, CryptoTech.

Thanks very much!

I have ran the first aide five times but computer will still not go past the apple log in after restarting. Any tips?

Hello! I had an issue and my mac was showing me a ?, etc etc. I fix the disks but now, it is asking me like for an old password. I tried a couple of ones but none of them works. When
I try to recover/reset my password from Apple it says: select a volume to recover: but it is empty nothing is showed 😢. What can I do? Thanks a lot

Thanks dude.. i'ts work.. my Macbook can't startup and I try your second way.. press the Command+R+power button.. and starting normally...

broooo thankyou so muchhhhhh！

IMPORTANT: you have NOT activated your "super thanks" feature that, allows viewers send you $!
It's in the under the "..." icon. Your "thanks" is greyed out! It's important. it pays much more money than viewend adds!!!

YOU are the BEST! :) I tried other videos for days and they don't explain a squat. They are long and useless. Your really works fast! (I keep watching adds ;)

Thank you it worked for me❤

Thanks so much for saving my Mac 🖥️ ❤

Now I know why everyone is talking about he’s 👆him he’s a genius

My mac shuts down after reboot I did the first aid and but it won't restart. How do I save the data in Disk utility onto my external hard drive to I can reinstall macos please help!

My macbook runs windows 7 and it is corrupted, it starts and again sticks on white screen and then shows a screen, that has some options like safe mode, start windows normally, etc, press enter on any of the options, it starts and again white screen and so on.....

How to fix it on Mac desktop , Mac mini?

Me ayudo mucho bro muy bueno tu información recupere mi Mac 👍👍👍👍🎉

Will this work on my 2011 MacBook Pro 17” that’s stuck on the progress bar slightly before the one on your screen. No indications of a GPU fault…

Does doing this make you lose any info on your computer?

Thanks bro 😁 it's been almost a complete months with doing music 🎶 u save some money 💰 and time 💯

Hi sorry a novice here, do you have hold command-R until the progress bar goes all the way, or just until the progress bar appears?
