How to restart your MacBook
There are several ways to restart your MacBook, depending on the problem you're experiencing. Here are a few methods you can try:
1. Normal Reboot: This is the simplest method. Click on the Apple logo in the upper left corner of your screen and select 'Restart...'. If your MacBook freezes, press and hold the power button until it turns off. Wait for a few seconds and then press the power button again to restart your MacBook.
2. Safe Mode: If your MacBook is still having issues, try booting into safe mode. Turn off your MacBook, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on. Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key. Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo. Booting into safe mode may take some time as your MacBook performs certain checks and deletes temporary files.
3. Recovery Mode: If Safe Mode doesn’t fix the problem, try Recovery Mode. Turn off your MacBook, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on. Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Command and R keys. Release both keys when you see the Apple logo. You should now see a window with macOS Utilities. From here you can choose to repair your drive, reinstall macOS, or restore a Time Machine backup.
4. Reset NVRAM: NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random-Access Memory) is a type of memory that stores certain settings even when your MacBook is turned off. Resetting NVRAM can help resolve startup issues. Turn off your MacBook, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on. Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Option, Command, P, and R keys. Release all keys when you hear the startup sound for the second time.
5. Reset the SMC: The SMC (System Management Controller) is responsible for many low-level functions on your MacBook, such as battery management, thermal management, and lid opening and closing response. Resetting the SMC can help resolve startup issues. The method for resetting the SMC depends on the type of MacBook you have. For MacBooks with a non-removable battery (most modern MacBooks), turn off your MacBook, plug in the MagSafe or USB-C power adapter, hold down the Shift, Control, and Option keys on the left side of your keyboard, and then press the power button at the same time. Release all keys and the power button at the same time, wait a few seconds, and then turn your MacBook back on.
