If you are impatient and just want your computer to be back up and running, skip to Step 5 of this post for the working solution. The stages of coping with loss and bereavement set in. I’ll just leave the room, go back to bed, promptly get out of bed, and return to my office with a fresh start for the day. Doesn’t matter he had nothing to do with this.

Promise to buy a new computer…soonish? Fourth, depression. Coffee is ready, might as well fill the cup two thirds with some of my favorite Irish whiskey. Alright, this thing certainly doesn’t want to boot.

Time to figure out how to fix this and/or talk myself into an upgrade – work certainly justifies the purchase.

Fixing the Reboot Loop Step 1 – PRAM and SMCĪnd finally, sixth, my favorite stage of coping – Google it. The first step in any OSX problem is to reset the PRAM and sometimes SMC. What is the PRAM and SMC? I don’t really know and I don’t care.

Shut down computer, hold down the power button until it turns off if you have to. I like to wait until I hear fans and other things stop making noises before continuing.īut it needs to be reset to fix random issues sometimes.

Hold down the keys command-option-p-r at the same time.

If you have a fat thumb like me, you can totally hold down command and option at the same time, allowing one handed operation. If you can’t one hand this, turn computer on then quickly get those 4 keys pressed down.

Hold those keys down until your Mac reboots again and you hear the startup chime.

Keep holding the keys down until you hear the chime 3 times.

Let go of the keys and let your Mac reboot normally.

If you have external speakers hooked up, you might hear the chime through them the first time, then your computer internal speaker after that. That’s a good sign the reset did whatever it is supposed to do.
