MacOS just keeps booting into the system, what to do?
Hello dear people,
I'm trying to get into recovery mode on my Mac, but it always boots into the system and not recovery mode. I've already tried Command+Option+R, but that doesn't work. I've also tried Terminal, but that doesn't work either; it always boots into the system. How can this be, and how do I get into recovery mode?
To open the menu, you must hold the ALT button directly after you have pressed your Mac’s start button. Now not the start screen, but the boot menu. Here you can see which hard drives are present and which bootable media there are.
I am trying
Nope, I got into the system.
You were in the system with Command+Option+R? Or did you push that when booting?
So the old button pressed CONTENTS at start directly after pressing the Power button
Press Command+Option+R Combination Mist in the running system. Not at the start.
I’ve tried it, and I’m gonna boot WIEDER into the system.
While it has booted, I have pressed this all the time
You lack the switch button
Option switch-over command-R: The computer is started via the Internet in macOS recovery mode. Use this key combination to reinstall the version of macOS that was installed on your Mac at the factory or to install the most similar, still available version.
