how to repair windows 7
Thank you ❤🎉
My imac 2009 doesn't work, I've tried several ways but nothing works, could you tell me if there's anything I can do?
it just opens internet recovery
2024 and still works
my usb drive not showing
😊
This is great bro
it didnt work
I thought i was going crazy, but i was doing it right, just not with a wired keyboard?… to the thrift store it seems
🎉🎉life saver
ah thanks. Now I can at least try to fix my friends MAC.
I install the new SSD on my old Mac9,1 and when I try to boot windows 10 from USB it always stuck on loading screen and never let the startup show and gives error with blue screen and reboot. Any soluitons ?
Thank you
My iMac 2009 (24' early) is slow at start up and I think it doesn't always register Alt press (also Windows wired keyboard). Want to share what works for me 100% of the time:
1) Start and pressing Alt quickly and repeatedly
2) Start holding the power button for ~3 seconds
3) Release power button, but keep doing 1 until booting options appear
many tanks! finally found what worked for me
Helpful – thanks!
Great video
Why doesn't the ALT Key work using a wireless keyboard? I don't have a wired keyboard around anymore and only use microsoft wireless (Logitech) keyboards with my iMac. Help?!
how did you connect the windows keyboard on your Imac??
But what to to if there is no boot menu at all
Bro I’ve watched 100 different videos of people saying use the windows key plus r. Finally this video works.
Why exactly Control(command) + 9 combination does not work … does this depends on age of the iMac or it’s the keyboard?
Finally the answer how to reboot with non MAC keyboard…. I literally went mad already trying out ALL the reboot possibilities…
Thank u so much it worked 😍👏👏
somaro, ho detto senza tastiera,,,,,somaro 2 volte
So simple, yet so useful, thx man. I'm suscribing to your channel
Hello, Hope you are good, i use MAC 2010 with mac os x lion, and im trying to install with usb bootable, when i do Alt key no hard drive is comming but appears server connected. How do i solve it? Help me please
It worked. Thank you
I have 2 iMacs, one works fine with the alt key, the other doesn’t I also can’t access the recovery drive like at all, and when I try to reinstall macOS it says “server could not be contacted in time” any tips on how to fix this?
This has been doing my head in trying to upgrade the os on my old 2012 imac, no one else has pointed out that you need to push the on/off button on the back of the machine. Hitting restart hasn't worked, but this worked the first time. There are some very well-intentioned YouTubers offering excellent guides here that forget that fundamental bit of advice. Well done for the simplicity of this.
Awesome and to the point!
Great Video thank you, ya got me in the direction I needed to be, I had to unplug the mouse and only have keyboard and usb drive plugged in, and holding alt wouldnt work for me I had to tap the heck outta it, and the right alt as others mentioned, but I got there, thank you.
Thank you so much
i NEEDED this vid, i just fixed an imac with a dead drive and put in one that i had and forgot it has windows 10! and i didnt know how to change the os and now i just found this vid and i know how to change the os, your a lifesaver!
This works thank you so much!
Great. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks !!
I've booted usb many times I've cleaned the os but i can see usb in disk utilities but its not showing in boot menu
Mine isn't showing usb why
Dang only internet recovery comes up on mine. RIP
sh*t!! Thanks dude! I thought i was gonna have to do a freaking recovery and install old OS! I was able to use a Bluetooth keyboard. Its loading now
do i lose my data?
Tela de boot não aparece USB nem dvd
