  1. Hi, i bought a older IMac 2017 after watching your video I thought this was perfect i need to reset the computer to the original OS (i believe the Ventura is slowing the machine down and cannot upgrade my memory) anyways after booting up holding the Shift+Option+CMD+R i get a dialog box that has 4 options Restore from Time Machine, Reinstall mac OS, get help online, Disk utility, i can move up and down on the options listed with the keyboard but after selection is made and i hit enter nothing happens, then i realized hit Tab i briefly see the "Continue" highlighted then i hit enter and still nothing. i thought this was the answer because i already did the CMD R last week and was able to reset to the lastest OS but again wanted to go back further…any thoughts???

  2. Replaced a new hard drive and none of these instructions work. MacBookPro8,1 – Model A1278 (EMC 2419*) – October 24, 2011. An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again.

  3. frustration arising, lol Mine is stuck on the install MacOS screen without bringing up the disk where to install it. If you see this, I'd SO appreciate a reply if you have one.

  4. I have a 2011 iMac. I can’t reload MacOS. The screen doesn’t upload in the normal way . I am very upset that I can’t do anything with it

  5. I deleted my OS with the intention of reinstalling it. However, my drive was almost full and now it's telling me I don't have enough space to install the OS. I can't access the drive to even delete some files to make room as I don't have an OS to work from on the computer. I do have Time Machine backups. Any suggestion as to how to get an OS again? It's an Intel iMac.

  6. Will the data be automatically transferred with the reinstall? I want cloud OFF. Problem is an archive was created that is all messed up now, accidentally deleted, and some videos in my pictures folder are now dot move instead and won't play. Videos (some) moved to my external drive won't play either.

    Since the original archive was deleted, everything is messed up now. Everything, because I was getting confused. I may have to open up cloud after the reinstall and then try to archive again.

    Any videos showing how to create an archive on a 2012 Mac Mini? I'm desperate. I don't want cloud, but may have to use it to backup what I have and then bring it back down again after I delete duplicates, so that I have space again. Worried that it'll still have these dot move extensions though? Will it? And will a time machine data transfer do the same? I know the externals that aren't connected to time machine will still be dot mov. Thanks!

  8. Thank you for the video but it didn't help with my situation.
    As someone who mostly uses windows and Linux, having to do basic functions on Mac OS such as reinstalling the OS is infuriating, while in any other operating system is simple, one way thing.

  9. I have a MacBook M2, when I tried this it got stuck at the Mac OS install screen. A "continue" button came up, I pressed it and half an hour later the same screen was showing but nothing was happening.

  10. Hi, Please advise, Windows version AutoCad software and structural software can instal on Mac pro OR can only instal software which are designed for a mac pro only. Thanks
