You saved a $1000 from my money. I think your video is amazing. Thank you so much. I would request this video if anybody needs to fix their laptop and reset it.

    Thank you sooooo much! I've watched countless videos trying to install the Mac OS Sierra and yours did. Followed each step to the last and boom it worked, yes I had to spend over 2 hours to get installed and reset login details- so worth it. You are the king of Mac OS! Gracias.

  • @saraallen6788
    @saraallen6788 3 года назад

    Absolutely saved me from going insane - as I just had my hard drive replaced on my iMac and the guys didn't ask what OS to restore it to... automatically installed Catalina on my late 2013 iMac... doh! When I got it back, no way of restoring my last backup from time machine as it was incompatible with the APFS format. After many hours of trying different things I came across your post. BOOOM! Thank goodness.

    Great Video. I'm doing some significant house cleaning for myself with external drives. I'd stuck with Extended / HFS on all external drives over the years, even with SSDs because I hadn't realized the advantages of APFS. Now I'm flushing all the old formats away and going all APFS. I'm sure I would have run into this exact issue without anticipating it because I've still got an Old laptop in the mix myself, and also I'll be helping extended family members update gizmos to APFS.
    And, even if I didn't have this exact problem, your style was super refreshing and relaxing to watch. I subscribed.
    Thanks!
    -Shwa!

    @MacSoundSolutions 4 года назад +7

    High Sierra does “like” APFS. Its the first Mac OS version to use it and all iOS devices are formatted in APFS. If you have an SSD as your Mac system drive starting with High Sierra or later your drive will automatically be reformatted to APFS when you install the OS. Time machine still does not support APFS and so time machine backup drives need to still use Mac OS journaled. Older Mac OS before High Sierra do not support APFS as you mention. Just wanted to clarify that High Sierra does work well with APFS.

    • @GabrielRodriguez-um8fi

    • @ronaldrojas5011
      @ronaldrojas5011 2 года назад

      Thats exactly what happened to me now, i erased my ssd restarting with cmd+R, formated it in Mac OS extended and reinstalled high sierra surprisingly now i opened Disk Utility and the format is APFS, and there are 4 partitions, VM(no idea it takes 8Gb), 2 unmounted, and the system, I don't know how to delete those partitions and why they never appeared before, any suggestions? MBP 8,1 late 2011

    • @MacSoundSolutions
      @MacSoundSolutions 2 года назад

      @@ronaldrojas5011 one is probably the recovery partition. You can resize or delete partitions up in the menu tool bar somewhere but be careful. I’m not in front of my Mac at the moment. Disk utility has become more user friendly with Mojave and up with APFS, it’s a bit weird in High Sierra.
