Excellent video. I've watched your explanation a dozen times, fixed it part way and kept getting a restarting issue; finally had to re-install the op system. IT WORKED! Many thanks.
This man is amazing. He is not only patient and pleasant, but his whole approach with the screen shots is so very clear. He took me by the hand from one method to the next to solve the problem. And I have to admit that I had to go through all the methods until I got to the "final" one (after which what would one do?) which worked. Thank you so very much.
This is a terrific video, thanks for taking the time to make it. I just forward it to a friend of mine who was having trouble with his MacBook Pro. You saved his butt.💪🏻😎
Yoooo you just saved me. My computer was doing that. And I'm a photographer, Videographer and etc. And I was half way in a wedding video editing. And I was scared I'd lose everything. Hahahs thanks fam 💪🏾🔥💯
My man!!!! You just bought life back to my 2009 I mac it’s up and running working well. Keep doing what you’re doing,stay blessed and have a great day 👍😃
Thank you so much I was able to fix my computer thanks to you. I'd been asking my kids to please fix it but of course didn't so I found your video it's like the best thing I could have found. Again THANK YOU please continue to make helpful videos.
2019 and you save me bro thank you so much after i was stuck on started os system ..i try to repaired it by disk utility and after two tries it works and i accesed to all my data thank you so much again ✌
Option one plus clicking enter on the Macintosh HD worked for me... you are a genius. Thank you so much my MacBook has been stuck on updating the software for the past 18 hours.
OMG - You saved me with this video. I was convinced my MacBook Air (2012) was toast. Stuck in boot loop hell. Could not get to internet recovery. It would start and then go to a warning triangle (apple/support under it). I tried every trick (Command, option, shift, P, S,R) for the last 4 days and nothing worked. Was shopping for a new Air all day and ready to bite the bullet. BUT, your video where you said to hold the Command R key down a long time was what got me to the repair part and internet recovery. I guess I was not holding it down long enough. All my stuff (favs, iTunes) is still on it. 30 minutes and counting. Almost ready for it to crash and burn again like it is too good to be true. Fingers crossed. THANK YOU!!!
I took your advise and it worked. I HAVE A MID 2012 MacBook Pro I called AppleCare and told them as a disclaimer that this computer may bot be under warranty because I got this from a friend and they was ok with helping me. I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND YOU HELPED ME. Apple was very pleased that this troubleshooting technique worked. Im not a rich dude but but I am very thankfiul for people like you for doing what you do in this platform.. Good luck and stay Blessed... THANKS
After trying all of the previous 3-4 fixes to no avail, the Disk Utility repair worked for me. It took a while. I gave up waiting for it and took a nap. When I awoke-Presto! Problem solved! Thank you very much!
@@arunkumartripathi3607 good day, I have macbook 15" , middle 2012 version, I'm having this problem, please how can you help me., Send me your mail or WhatsApp number
Thank you for this dude! I was stuck for over 18 hours hoping the updates would finish but I kept going to the same point. I'm currently reinstalling the OS and I hope it works. Thank you.
Thank you - the instructions worked great! I called Apple before watching this and they said I probably needed a new laptop. Thanks for posting this info.
Thanks my friend and hats off to you. You saved me a lot of stress and taking a heavy mac to the apple store. It was your last option that worked for me.
This worked to turn it on! Mine ended up being a hard drive cable that was the issue. I’d recommend just taking it your local computer shop so you don’t accidentally erase or delete all your data!
Many,many thanks.. This helped so much I ended up restoring from time machine but this video pointed me to the right direction. All out there, make sure you back up regularly ......
I gotta say this was much better than contacting Apple tech support. I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro that was giving me problems. I followed Apple tech support directions and it was still not exactly right. I followed your steps up to doing the utility check-up and it seems to be working fine now. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this tutorial video. It fixed my MacBook Pro 2011. I updated my Mac to os high sierra and after few days of using it, my macbook hanged up and will not open. With the help of this tutorial video, I restored my Mac to it’s previous OS. I tried the last resort method. Thank you so much.
You are the man! The last one worked for me - re-installing the OS, but I have to take my hat off to ya; you had one solution after the other and I tried 'em all. Thank you so much. (Must remember to back up to Google Drive more often).
Thank you so much for your help. You are very patient. I don’t know what worked but I went to bed and when I woke up Monterey was installed! You made my day!
1) make sure your keyboard is plugged-in. 2) you may have a bad connection on the HD. (I have repaired MANY systems where the connector was bad, or the connector wasn't plugged-in all the way.
Mine it’s getting stuck as I log in and it’s trying to start its getting stuck like at %99 percent right before the screen opens up. It doesn’t go all the way up to 100.
Thanks!!! Your video has helped me and many others. I'm not out of the woods yet as I have some other issues with my 2011 macbook pro. But, regardless, your instructions were concise and often got me restarted.

Bro I cannot live without this video bc I don’t even have to do anything but watch this and my MacBook Air works now after a week of desperation to play games on my laptop
Even when i reinstall my os, it will download after 40 minutes and then when it trys to start up, the loading bar goes to full but stays there, and i left it for hours and it stays at full with nothing happening, I’ve tried all the solutions he said, but they haven’t worked. Any advice?

Guys everything works except OS X Utilities when i turn on my mac and hold "Command+R" its stuck on the apple logo loading screen, can someone please help me?

KJ_Edits in that case You need to restore your MacBook, I think that's the only option option you'll lose everything but your MacBook will be Virgin again
Shut it down instead. it's more easier. then hold Command + R first. Then press the power button and dont release the buttons until you see the apple gray/white logo
Mine reaches halfway very fast and slows down... then it stops at the very end i tried all of them except then last one... i am about to try that now and just saying dont read more told ya Xd XD XD XD XD XD
