How do you start up into fallback recoveryOS on a Mac with Apple silicon?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C, D, E

The Files app is an app that lets you browse, organize, and manage files stored on your device, iCloud Drive, and external storage devices. The Files app supports different storage formats for external storage devices, such as USB drives and SD cards.According to Apple, the supported formats are EX-FAT, MS-DOS (FAT), Mac OS Extended (HFS+), and APFS1. These formats allow the Files app to read and write files on the external storage devices. The Files app does not support NTFS, which is a format used by Windows.NTFS is not compatible with the Files app, and the Files app can only read files from NTFS-formatted devices, but not write or modify them2. To use an NTFS-formatted device with the Files app, you need to reformat it to one of the supported formats using a Mac or PC.Reference:Connect external storage devices to iPhone - Apple Support,The Complete Guide to Using External Storage on iOS and iPadOS - Gizmodo

A seems right, but I’m surprised it’s not just holding it down.

I vaguely recall something about holding Shift after starting up, but that seems more related to startup volume than fallback recovery.

I’m a bit confused. I thought it was about pressing and releasing the power button, which might be option C, but that doesn’t sound right for recovery.

I remember practicing this, and I feel like it was just holding the power button, so maybe option B?

I think it's option A, but I'm not completely sure if it’s double-press or just holding the button.

I think the key is to start from a shutdown state, not a running system. That narrows it down to the first three options. I'm leaning towards A, but I'll double-check my understanding before submitting.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know how to start up in regular recoveryOS, but the "fallback" part is throwing me off. I'll have to review my notes on Apple silicon startup options.

Okay, I've got this. The answer is A - from a shutdown state, double-press and hold the power button. That should get me into the fallback recoveryOS.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not too familiar with the startup process on Apple silicon Macs. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think the key here is to start from a shutdown state. The options involving holding the power button seem promising, but I'm not sure if double-pressing is necessary.

Option B looks promising - enabling lot and serial control, along with entering the shelf life, should allow them to track the laptops and identify their age. I'll focus on understanding that approach.

If only they had a 'Panic' button you could press to instantly start up in recoveryOS. That would be way more helpful than these cryptic instructions.

I'm just going to try all the options until one of them works. How hard can it be to boot into recoveryOS on a Mac? *sighs*

Hah, I bet the correct answer is something completely unintuitive, like pressing the power button in a secret dance or something. Apple loves making things complicated.

Option A sounds like the right way to start up into fallback recoveryOS. Double-pressing the power button seems like the logical way to access a special recovery mode.
