    THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!! i subbed and liked to your channel. I personally fixed this on a Mac Mini (the $600 one) and worked PERFECTLY after this video! thank you so much!
    For all of you guys who are reading this comment and still cant get your mac to work, you must hold, in the EXACT order: Command, Option, P, R, and then press the power button. YOU CANNOT LET GO OF ANY KEYS AT ALL OR THIS WILL NOT WORK!!! It may be kind of awkward with both of your hands holding the keys while trying to press the power button, for me i had to put my keyboard right next to my mac mini, and while holding all keys in that exact order, i had to use my pinkie to press the power button while still holding all keys at the same time

  • @janinebamberger8412
    @janinebamberger8412 7 лет назад +4

    Thank you! This procedure (holding OPTION+COMMAND+P+R) worked successfully after a power surge during a storm caused my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) to shut off and come back on with the white screen. (Prior to using this procedure, simply turning the machine off and on several times left me with the white screen each time.)

There seems to be a problem with this happening I've noticed on a few help sites and I just received a new update to 10.10.5, so I'm hoping this will resolve the issue permanently.

    After following these instructions... (too bad no instructions on how to push 5-buttons at the same time)...
    ---I held down 3, pushed on button and quickly before the on button reacted, pushed the 4th button...
    I did not get a 2nd chime, however my computer finally did start up differently after a few minutes.
    It gave me 4 options.
    - Time machine
    -Reinstall High Sierra, which I chose.
    (I don't remember the other two options).
    Reinstalling HS failed once and froze about 25 minutes in. I rebooted again, and it finished the install.
    It took about 2-hours to finish and it worked.
    *** Nothing I did prior worked until I pressed all 5-buttons.
    I believe this helped me fix it!
    Thank you!

      Well, two years have passed and my computer has gone to white screen again. So I found this video, and followed the instructions. It did not work. Looking through the comments to see what other people had done... Low and behold, I find I had posted comments her. I did not remember doing it. Following my own instructions, it worked. Shift key being the last one to press. That was it. It booted up normally. No fixing software. So... Thank you to myself. See you in another 2-years! 👍🤘😛

    My iMac had an odd series of issues. I was trying reinstall several typefaces after updating to OSX Mavericks. During the reinstallation of typefaces, the program seized up my iMac and after restarting all I had was a flashing screen that went from my desktop to white over and over. THIS FIXED IT. Thank you!
    Oh, I didn't hear any chimes, but this might be because my speakers were originally off. I just held down the keys until I was taken to the "Utilities" menu.
