3Recovery Mode Mac

In Mac data Recovery Mode, users can access to diagnose the following:

• Hardware issues.
• Restore Time Machine backups.
• Manage hard drives.
• Install or reinstall OS X.

To start with the Mac Recovery Mode, first restart your Mac and hold the Command and R keys simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Recovery Mode is only possible due to the installation of a hidden recovery partition on Mac hard drive.

For system restore Mac, after your computer finishes starting up, you will see a desktop with an OS X menu bar and an OS X Utilities window with the options listed above. And, if there appears a login window instead of Utilities window, then, it is possible that you didn’t press Command-R for the time it needs. In this situation, restart your computer and try again.

Now, select the option you want to use from the Utilities window. In order to reinstall OS X, you need to be connected to the Internet using Ethernet or Wi-Fi. If you're using a wireless Internet connection, click the Wi-Fi menu in the upper-right corner of the screen to select a nearby Wi-Fi network. Choose your preferred network name and enter a username and password to join the network.

4 Internet Recovery Mac

Newer Macs have the ability to start up directly from an Internet-based version OS X Recovery. For Mac Recovery, your Mac automatically uses this feature when the Recovery System is not available on the startup drive. It happens, if your startup drive encounters an issue or if your startup drive has been replaced. Mac OS X Recovery lets you start your Mac directly from Apple's servers. Starting up from this system performs a quick test of your memory and hard drive to check for hardware issues.

The very first step, the Internet Recovery initially asks you to select a Wi-Fi network and enter a network password when needed. Then, Internet Recovery downloads and starts from a Recovery System image. From there, you are offered the same utilities and options as the Recovery System on a startup drive. Some Macs that came with OS X Snow Leopard can use Internet Recovery after installing OS X Lion or later and a software update.

Installing and re-installing OS X through Internet Recovery is quite easy to do, but be aware that because everything is coming from Apple servers, it will take some time as the system restore features are downloaded locally and then the version of OS X to install are also downloaded locally as well.

During Mac OS X Recovery, when OS X has finished installing on the Mac, it will boot into a fresh install of OS X system software.

If you are reinstalling OS X to try and repair greatly messed up operating system install, you’d likely be better off performing a true clean install of the system software by formatting the drive and then installing OS X onto it.

Mac OS X recovery is easy in newer Macs as they have both options. They can choose either or they can skip the recovery drive and switch directly into Internet Recovery by using the Command+Option+R boot shortcut.
