Seem it works and it does what is expected, but I don’t know if it is really same like ‘keyboard gymnastic’ (I like this expression) described by you in article above and I have no idea how it is related to iMac Pro and 2018 models with T2, how does it work if firmware password is set, etc. for things above in this article, what I sometimes do, I use Terminal commands from Recovery mode: Unfortunately sometimes even Apple’s own Support have no clue what’s going on when you contact them, because even for them there is no relevant source of information available. I still hope it will change, and we would be able to read again and understand exactly what’s going on in our systems. Oh yeah, that’s true and sad, Apple documentation (including man pages) these days is incomplete, outdated, and for many things simply missing. It should be reinstituted as a matter of urgency. It used to provide lists of recently added and updated support notes, but discontinued this practice some years ago. It is also unacceptable that Apple has no means of alerting its customers to such significant changes in its documentation. It is absurd there are now six quite different procedures for resetting the SMC, some involving keyboard gymnastics which many Mac users will at least find difficult. It is a great pity – and a pain for users – that this doesn’t now extend to the design of routine maintenance procedures. I have updated my article on resetting SMC and NVRAM to reflect these changes.Īpple takes pride in its superlative design.
In case you have already forgotten, these are: At least when there you can turn the password off, I suppose.Īpple had previously detailed standard procedures for resetting the SMC of Macs with T2 chips, currently iMac Pro and MacBook Pro 2018 models. If you don’t turn a firmware password off and then try to reset the NVRAM, that reset will fail, and your Mac will probably enter Recovery mode instead. You can then start it up with the Command, Option, P and R keys held ready to reset the NVRAM. In that, turn the firmware password off, and shut your Mac down. To do that, restart in Recovery mode, and in the Utilities menu, select either the Firmware Password Utility or Startup Security Utility. Apple has recently updated its support information on two important topics, resetting the SMC and the NVRAM.Īpple has recently pointed out that, if your Mac has a firmware password set, you must turn that off before attempting to reset the NVRAM.
