But you\u2019ll lose all your data during the factory reset operation if performed incorrectly. Don\u2019t worry, there are methods to retrieve files deleted after a factory reset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But before learning the data\nretrieval methods, you should know the reasons why you need to reset your Mac\nto factory settings, what happens during factory reset, and how to factory\nreset your Mac properly to avoid losing your valuable files permanently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"First_Point_Header\" style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #d1e4ff; border: 1px dotted #D1E4FF; padding: 30px 30px;\"><strong>Why Reset Mac to Factory Settings?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You may need to reset your Mac to\nfactory settings due to numerous reasons. Some of the common reasons are as\nfollows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Mac\nis running extremely slow<\/li><li>Mac\nfails to boot<\/li><li>You\nwish to clean install macOS<\/li><li>You\nwant to donate, sell, or repurpose your Mac<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"Second_Point_Header\" style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #d1e4ff; border: 1px dotted #D1E4FF; padding: 30px 30px;\"><strong>What Happens During a Factory Reset?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you reset your Mac to its factory\nsettings, two major things occur. First, your Mac erases your hard drive with a\nnew file system format (say APFS or HFS+). And second, your Mac installs the\nmacOS that came with your system during the purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to erasure or formatting, data\nstored on your Mac hard drive turns inaccessible. But the data remains on the\ndrive and will be overwritten with new data when the Mac is used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"Third_Point_Header\" style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #d1e4ff; border: 1px dotted #D1E4FF; padding: 30px 30px;\"><strong>How to Factory Reset Your Mac Properly?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First, back up all your important\nfiles to an external backup drive by using Time Machine (or manually for\nnon-startup volume) to avoid data loss during factory reset that formats your Mac\nhard drive and makes all your files inaccessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, log out or de-authorize all applications\nthat provide limited authorization. This is because some applications (say\niTunes or iCloud account) uses an authorization system that limits the maximum\nnumber of devices to be connected and create future login problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third, make sure that your Mac has\naccess to an active Internet connection. This is because in case the macOS\nRecovery drive isn\u2019t accessible from the Mac hard drive, your Mac can boot into\nmacOS Recovery mode from the Apple server and use the macOS installation files\nfrom there. In the absence of an active Internet connection, your Mac may not be\nable to complete the factory reset properly and could temporarily enter an unusable\nstate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Steps to reset your Mac to its factory settings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Start or restart your Mac then promptly press and hold the <strong>Command<\/strong> + <strong>R<\/strong> keys.<\/li><li>Release the keys when the Apple logo or spinning globe appears.<\/li><li>Wait till your Mac boots into macOS Recovery mode.<\/li><li>In the macOS Recovery mode, go to the macOS Utilities window and click <strong>Disk Utility<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Click <strong>Continue<\/strong>.
