Re: New MacBook Pro Boots When Lid is Opened
For those who like more details, PRAM Is different from NVRAM. The following 2018 article says, ¡° Modern Macs no longer use PRAM; they instead use something called NVRAM (NV for non-volatile)...¡±.

Howdy. Or, boot with Option Command p r pressed. If you have a startup chime, keep the 4 keys pressed until you hear the chime a 2nd time. Denver Dan

Of course you are right - that¡¯s what I meant. In fact the command is ¡°nvram¡±. -- Bev in TX

Re: New MacBook Pro Boots When Lid is Opened
Howdy. Bev, I'm not aware of a VRAM reset. You may be thinking of NVRAM which means Non Volatile Random Access Memory. There is a startup maintenance command called Zap the PRAM which is a reset of

Re: iMac seems frozen while restarting.
If I had those symptoms on my MBPro, the first thing I would do is restart with <Shift> held down (Safe Boot). Let that finish its clean-and-check routines (invisibly), however long that takes, then

Re: New MacBook Pro Boots When Lid is Opened
Yes, I think that is what you would want to happen most of the time. And since it boots and shuts down so fast, it would be easy to shut it down in the less frequent situations when you didn¡¯t want

Re: New MacBook Pro Boots When Lid is Opened
Thanks, that is one of the articles that I read. I don¡¯t like the fact that you have to turn it off again every time you reset VRAM. So I was trying to get folks opinions on whether this feature is

Re: New MacBook Pro Boots When Lid is Opened
Otto: It would seem logical that you wouldn't want your computer on when you were cleaning the keyboard and perhaps the screen. I've found that cleaning the keyboard is best done with the computer

Re: New MacBook Pro Boots When Lid is Opened
My view is, why would you open the screen unless you wanted to use it, so booting from shutdown makes sense to me. This is an obvious follow-on from wake from sleep. Otto

Re: iMac seems frozen while restarting.
Howdy. It may have been doing something routine for a new computer. Do another shut down and cold boot and see how long it takes. A Mac with an SSD, no external HDDs, should boot up fast. You can also

Re: iMac seems frozen while restarting.
It just came back up after another few minutes of waiting. But I¡¯d still like to know what I would do in a case like this and if that long wait time for a restart is a symptom of something I need to

I just restarted my iMac, and now it is stuck on the apple symbol and the progress bar almost at the very end. It¡¯s been like that for about five minutes now. What should I do? Do I hold down the on
