Apple Configurator gives you 2 options
Restore - You can erase & reinstall macOS on your mac in under 10 minutes
Revive - This will retain user data and reinstall macOS recovery if you are having problems booting into macOS recovery.
This mode will also help you if your Mac will not boot or if it is booting to an exclamation point.
I will go over how to restore macOS on your new Apple Silicon Mac. Your first line of defense for installing macOS on Apple Silicon should be macOS Recovery. But if for some reason you are having problems with that you can boot your Apple Silicon Mac with a Big Sur USB installer drive.

OMG, you are a lifesaver! I was trying to restore my wife's computer after I "hand me down" to her. I failed to erase it proper so I have not been able to run updates as I wasn't "owner". In the process of trying to reset, I completely hosed it. This saved me a lot of time and effort, thank you!

@ML-rv8yx 2 года назад

I really enjoy watching your steps by steps instructions which its extremely clear and thorough!! I am SUPER glad that I found your video as I've been struggling to get into DFU mode for several hours (life saver on your 10s counting). I just subscribed your channel. WooHoo 🙌🏻🥳

@jonathankeith2229 Год назад

Super helpful - I was getting stumped on restoring via a downloaded IPSW and your very thorough instructions did the trick. 😁 Thank you!

@emailant 2 года назад

Just want to say thank you so much! Apple Support articles just don't illustrate the recovery well enough compared to your actual demonstration. Saved me heaps of time trying and failing and not even knowing why. 🙏🙏

@northofthecity21 2 года назад

This video is so helpful that I downloaded it in case it ever gets removed. When I need to get into DFU I always press the keys along with the video to get the timing right. Thank YOU Sir!

Good lord you mad lad you got my user's MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021) back up and running. You HAVE to use an Apple Thunderbolt cable, not any USB-C cable will do. I followed Apple's directions and couldn't get it to connect properly - it kept coming up in locked mode not recovery model. I did it like you demonstrated and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much!!!

@FalkBerger 2 года назад

Thank you Sir, you saved my day. My new 14" M1 MacBook was broken during upgrading to macOS Monterey version 10.3 and the solution was to revive the system with DFU mode and with the old macOS 10.2.1 ISPW file. It wasn't possible to revive the device with the new - default - version 10.3 in DFU mode (libusbrestore error 2006). No data loss and a lot of time saved.💐

@BritPot Год назад

Are you able to elaborate on the 2006 error? I have a bricked M1 air and I get that error on every IPSW I have tried.

it appears Apple Configurator 2 is gone, its just configurator now (no numbers), but its version 2,17 so that's probably it .. just confusing that everybody is talking about version 2 :)) anyway, you're the man .. I have tried several RU-vid "how to do" videos, but always running in to error 21, which according to some was wrong USB-C cable, but after watching you, I gave it last try .. used my iPhone and stopwatch app, to count 10 seconds .. and .. what a surprised, it worked, just like a magic .. thx, really appreciate it :)

@MrMac - First off thank you for helping those of us who like to keep using our Macs for as long as possible. Question for you: I have a 2014 27” iMac (iMac 15,1) - top of line iMac at the time. Could I use it as a secondary monitor for a laptop - MacBook Pro, MacMini, or even a PC laptop, with some adapters and cables? And if so, what would be the minimum MacOS requirements for both the iMac, and the MacBook or MacMini?

@wdawad802 2 года назад

Hello. The keyboard combinations are not working on my mac (method 1 or 2). I was going to try method 3 but the install guide is down. Could you give some info on how to do a proper install if possible? Thank you very much. I'm going to keep checking the Github tho to see if I can find it myself

@jonathandepaz8867 2 года назад

What if the computer I trying to restore runs Big Sur and the helping Mac does not. Would I need to downgrade the helping Mac to Big Sur or is there a way to do this without those steps. Any help would be great. Also thanks for the great video. You have the most helpful and straight forward advice anywhere

Hello there. Nice stuff. I have a mac mini 2018 intel and I've tried everything out there to resintall the system, but with no success. I need to restore it.

Whelp... Got it restored thanks to this video. Now let's see if my 2020 m1 will let me reboot and use my Caldigit TS3 dock. Something happened with Ventura that kept corrupting the OS, but would let me reinstall the Mac OS, even downgrade it via a usb drive install but every time, gets up to desktop. Lets me use it to my hearts content and then on reboot, get back to login screen, login and bang. boot loop. Hopefully this gets me back up and running. Thank god I have another Mac mini m1 in the house to make this happen. Anyway, subbed and up thumbed

Hey Mate I'll try to restore my macbook pro 14'' in a few hours but i got a question, maybe you can help me out with that. So the working macbook is probably an older device with an older macos firmware. But If I download the newest Macbook Pro 14'' firmware update on your website and drop it into DFU, will it work? Even if the working macbook has an older firmware? Appreciate your work mate, keep it up. Hopefully you or someone can answer pretty quickly. :) Greets from Germany!

Got a 2020 MBA here. Turns on and get Apple logo, but then fan ramps up to high a few seconds later and then doesn't go any further. Managed to do the firmware recovery using DFU mode using the instructions in this video - thanks a million man. Seemed to complete ok, but still won't boot. Internet recovery stalls at the spinning globe. Tried with WiFi and Ethernet. Left it for hours, doesn't proceed. Also in internet recovery e.g. the network selection screen, the machine is laggy as f**k. Like a few seconds just for the mouse pointer to move after touching the touchpad. The firmware recovery screens however were not laggy and the process completed in a couple or so mins as expected. The machine has a kaput battery. Powers off instantly when plug is pulled. Wondering if the issue is battery related?? If so it would be the first time I've come across a laptop that ran slow (like it was powered by a 2KHz single core CPU slow!) due to a duff battery. Thanks Apple. Is it worth replacing the battery to try and resurrect the machine? Or is the fault likely to be something else?
