    This is the clearest concise tutorial that I've found on YT. Your images are even the best. I really like the option where you tell your audience to hold certain keys if you are going to keep the mac or give it to someone or sell it; that wasn't included in tutorials by others on YT. Good job!

    • @kingrobert1st
      @kingrobert1st 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You could keep it and sell it back to yourself. I can't see the difference.

    I am a Windows based IT Professional so whatever I have learned about Mac OS and functionality is pretty much self taught, so I really appreciate this informative video to reset a iMac which I just sold. Very easy to follow and everything worked perfectly. Thanks

    This is why I love youtube. I literally had my IMAC sitting collecting dust since 2018 lol I've searched up this so many times and never worked but this video got my computer back without having to wait in apple extreme lines lol. thanks 😬

    Oh MY GOD. This is THE best video on TH-cam. All these other people are just trying to low-key promote other services and give extra steps that are not even needed! This was simple, straight to the point, and EASY. I have NO computer maintenance skills, ZERO, and this helped me reinstall Monterey from the most recent 12.6 update issue!!

    Thank you so much. A well presented video with clear and easy to understood instructions. Like others I couldn't find any other video that was so clear. Worked well for me in order to sell my iMac (yes, I've bought a new 2020 intel iMac).

  • @RealWizardry

    I had a spare Mac mini in my cupboard that I wanted to use as a HomeAssistant server but it was SO slow! This video allowed me to wipe the Mac quickly and easily. Quick note: I’m using a PC keyboard so if you replace the command key with the windows key, it works fine.
    Thanks for the very clear instructions!

    Thanks for the clear instructions. On my late 2009 27" iMac, Cmd+Opt+R stubbornly refused to work, but Cmd+R took me to the Utilities menu, and I could proceed from there. High Sierra is the best my machine can run and should give someone else good use for quite a while. It's reloading as I type this. Thanks again.
