Safe Mode, Safe Boot on mac computer

If your Apple mac computer (OSX 10.2 or later) is not working normally, you may still be able to boot and use tit in the 'safe mode'. The safe mode is a stripped-down version that runs on only the essential features. Consequently, the safe mode is useful for troubleshooting and accessing files when your Apple mac computer is not working properly.


  1. Ensure that the computer is shut down for at least a few seconds

  2. Power up the computer

  3. Upon hearing the start up chiming sound, hold down the 'Shift' button

  4. Release the 'Shift' button only when the gray Apple logo and progress indicator appear (pictured here). 

  5. Your Apple mac will now begin in safe mode

  6. Note that, as the stripped-down version of your operating system, some programs (like iMovie, the DVD player, audio input and output devices, internal or external USB modems and so on) may not work.
