How to erase and reset your Mac to factory settings | Apple Support 

Does not work at all. I have Monterey and when I go into the second system preferences there is no erase option. Useless

I always LOVE to watch these videos, they are really good! 👍

Is this method better than a complete reformatting?

How secure is this? If selling the mac can someone recover the data?

Why's there no Erase all Content thingy? Useless for me.

will this get rid of any viruses or malware ?

I forget my login password What to do

How to fix the "Error while preparing to erase. try again later" error?

What to do if a message ''Erase Assistant is not supported on this Mac''?

what happens, if you have multiple users with different Apple-IDs on the MAC? Can one user reset the entire MAC, including all user accounts?

In Disk utility, i canot see SSD internal only OS X Base system is visible, I have tried through terminal using diskutil list but still SSD doesn't appear. Please help me. i m using MacBook (Retina, 12 inch, 2017)

This worked. Thank you. Now im going to return it. My phone does everything this does faster and easier imo.

I like these videos they're informative 👍

AHEM, *what about Command+R?*

I wish Apple Silicon had the old Intel ability to restore from online. Could completely format the hard drive and re-install the latest MacOS directly from Apple as a fresh install. Now you are forced to create a bootable USB drive to do this.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you

My Mac says Assistant is not available.

Why does the music on this go so hard?

Help apple my laptop is stuck I turned it off and on after I literally did you’re latest update it’s not showing any apps after I put passwords on it

For some reason when i erased it it asked me for the apple id password or phone number.. as this is my dad’s mac i dont know his apple id password. what do i do?? Also.. what will happen if i put in his phone number? Will it ask me for a code from his phone?

These guides are so soulless and impersonable. What happened to the informative guided tours we used to get with new releases of Os X Apple?
