What to do when your MacBook or iMac fails
A few practical steps to help you troubleshoot your unresponsive Mac and protect your valuable files.
Restart Your Mac
Start by restarting your Mac if it becomes unresponsive or runs unusually slow. Click the Apple menu → Restart.
If the screen is frozen and you can't access the menu, press and hold the Power button until the Mac shuts down, then press it again to turn it back on. If you're using a MacBook, make sure the battery isn't fully drained - connect the charger and wait a few minutes before powering on.

Use macOS Recovery
If restarting doesn't help, you might need to boot into macOS Recovery Mode.
To do this, shut down your Mac, then hold Command (⌘) + R immediately after pressing the Power button until you see the Apple logo.
From there, you can use Disk Utility to repair your drive or reinstall macOS without erasing your data.
If your Mac uses Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4, or newer), press and hold the Power button until Options appear, then select Options → Continue to enter Recovery.
