Hi Sabahattin, I’m so sorry to hear that you are having a similar experience. It is incredibly frustrating, and frankly, I expect better from an Apple product. I’m going to try Jonathan’s suggestion to reset VO, and see if that solves my issue. I’ll also wipe the drive before I send it

help working in recovery mode.

Hey all, Hoping someone can help. I can get the cheesy system voice when booting in recovery mode, but I lose it the minute I select a boot option. Is there any way for me to erase my hard disk, without actually booting the computer, i.e. to stay in the recovery window and erase from there?

Hi! When in the recovery mode there’s a table with several options. One of them is Disk Utility. Interact with that table and select disk utility. Stop interacting and go to the continue button. Now the disk utility will open and work as in normal mode. Hope that helps. Feel free to ask if

When restoring from a Time machine backup, you not only restore files, folders and other data you would like to keep, but you end up restoring all kinds of trash and clutter that has accumulated over time on the old system. This is why I prefer not using a Time Machine backup on a new Mac, using

You used to be able to load any IOS app onto the new Macs, but Apple put a stop to that. Just out of curiosity--and I know my mileage may vary--what percentage of your iPhone apps would you say you can run? That's also one of the things that appeals to me about having an M1 Mac. Cheers, Donna
