    That was an unbelievable save...I lost one weekend plus two days trying to figure out what went wrong when from an error my data was erased and sent back to stone age, at bottom of old version....My apple ID started acting crazy didn't recognize my account, I couldn't start upgrading version from Apple Store, I was stuck in time with that slow version. I tried almost everything, I even contacted the Apple Support team, without success, until accidentally I saw your tutorial and in 5 seconds, my mood jumped from dispare to happiness. Not just I have my version back, I skipped to last possible version allowed to my system, I mean Catalina. Thank you again and God bless you!

    If you're having trouble booting to recovery, try holding down the key combination until you see the status bar, and not just the Apple logo... sometimes the status bar appears a few seconds later. I've seen Macs boot back to their current OS many times when users don't wait until the status bar appears. Just a tip if anyone is getting frustrated :).

    0:58 okay so i have a MacBook Air late 2019, it came with Mojave but yesterday it got stuck in boot loop and stopped giving me the permission to open most apps, even iMovie and GarageBand. I’m using my iPad now, but I need my MacBook bc my iPad is a iPad Air 2 and is very glitchy. I also need to change the 6 1/2 year old battery. :( i restarted it and it’s now on boot loop. I only have these issues on Big Sur, so should I do this as I want to install Mojave, not Big Sur nor Catalina? It could be water damage as I might have gotten the lcd a bit wet when I was running to my car two days ago in a rainstorm.

      You can try recovery over the Internet.
      Try all 3:
      Command-R: Start up from the built-in macOS Recovery System. Use this key combination to reinstall the latest macOS that was installed on your system, or to use the other apps in macOS Recovery.
      Option-Command-R: Start up from macOS Recovery over the internet. Use this key combination to reinstall macOS and upgrade to the latest version of macOS that’s compatible with your Mac.
      Option-Shift-Command-R: Start up from macOS Recovery over the internet. Use this key combination to reinstall the version of macOS that came with your Mac or the closest version that’s still available.
      If nothing repairs the missing partition, then your Mac needs to be seen at an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Store.

    Okay I deleted my hard drive forever ago and it causes my Touch ID to lag or when entering my password on start up it takes a while to allow me to even type it in- once I get it typed in and I click return- it takes what seems like an unnecessarily long time to process. Which it wasn’t like this before. So on immediate start up it will say that your Macintosh HD cannot be unlocked so in the video it says if it ask you to unlock your McIntosh HD to just enter your password. But if it doesn’t let you unlock it? I’ve tried a couple different things just reading online but it always gives me an error saying it can’t be unlocked- I can’t remember if it gives me the same issue on recovery mode but it does whenever I log into my user. Also when I go to my finder my Macintosh HD is grayed out and I can’t even select it so my current hard drive is titled untitled 1. I’ve tried downloading the pasted software back on but literally nothing has worked so I’m hoping someone else has this issue and I’m just missing something small.
