Learning how to exit recovery mode on your MacBook doesn't have to be intimidating! Follow our easy guide to get back to your normal desktop in no time.
Recovery Mode is an incredibly useful tool that allows users to repair and reinstall the macOS operating system on their Mac computers. It’s an incredibly valuable resource for any Mac user, but it’s also easy to get stuck in Recovery Mode if you don’t know how to properly exit it. Exiting Recovery Mode on a MacBook is actually quite simple, and with the right steps you can be up and running again in no time.
Step 1: Determine if You Are in Recovery Mode
The first step to exiting Recovery Mode is determining whether or not you are actually in it. To do this, turn on your MacBook and look for the Apple logo displayed on the screen. If you don’t see the logo, you likely are in Recovery Mode. If the logo is displayed, you are not in Recovery Mode.
Step 2: Restart Your MacBook
If you’ve determined that you are indeed in Recovery Mode, the next step is to restart your MacBook. To do this, press and hold the power button until the computer shuts down completely. Once the computer has completely shut down, press the power button again to turn it back on.
Step 3: Select the Appropriate Startup Disk
Once your MacBook has restarted, you’ll be presented with a list of available startup disks. This list will include your internal hard drive, any external drives you may have connected, and the macOS Recovery partition. Select the internal hard drive from the list and click “Continue”.
Step 4: Wait for the System to Boot
After you’ve selected the appropriate startup disk, your MacBook will begin to boot up. This process may take a few minutes, so be patient while it completes. Once the boot process is finished, you should be back on your desktop, out of Recovery Mode.
Step 5: Check for Updates
Now that you’ve exited Recovery Mode, it’s a good idea to check for any system updates that may be available. To do this, open the App Store and select the “Updates” tab. Install any software updates that are available and restart your MacBook if prompted to do so.
Step 6: Troubleshoot Any Issues
If you’re still having issues with your MacBook after exiting Recovery Mode, it’s a good idea to troubleshoot any potential issues. Visit Apple’s support page for more information on how to troubleshoot your particular issue.
Exiting Recovery Mode on a MacBook is a relatively simple process, and with the right steps you can easily get back up and running in no time. Remember to always check for updates after exiting Recovery Mode, and to troubleshoot any issues that may still be present. With a little bit of patience, you’ll be back to using your MacBook in no time.
