Here are some additional steps you can try to fix the BSoD issues. Use System Restore to go back to a point before the update if available. Run a memory test using mdsched.exe and check your hard drive with chkdsk C: /f /r. Turn off Fast Startup in the Power Options settings. These steps can help fix or pinpoint the cause of the blue screen errors.
These steps are generally safe and do not cause data loss because they only repair boot files, not personal data. Commands like bootrec, bcdboot, and assigning a drive letter to the EFI partition are low-risk when used correctly.
However, mistakes like selecting the wrong partition, using the wrong drive letter, or accidentally formatting a partition can lead to problems.
To stay safe, it’s a good idea to back up any important files beforehand and double-check partition details in diskpart before running any commands.
Sometimes, the issue is caused by temporary iCloud server delays, so waiting a bit can help. If it’s stuck for hours, try restarting your device and initiating the restore again. Also, Go to Settings > iCloud > Backup and check if the backup is available and intact. If nothing works, you can set up the iPhone as new and use third-party iPhone data recovery tools to extract and recover lost data.
I reset my iPhone and chose to restore from an iCloud backup. Now, it’s been stuck on the “Preparing to Restore” screen for hours and not progressing. My Wi-Fi is stable, and the backup was created just a day before. I’m using an iPhone 13 with iOS 17.5. Has anyone faced this, and how can I fix it without losing my data?
That’s a good suggestion BTW.
Go to System Settings > General > Login Items (or System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items on older macOS) and remove any unnecessary apps that start when you log in.
If possible, Free Up some Disk Space, as this is essential for performance, stability, and smooth operation.
Dude, check for any malicious apps. Sometimes rogue apps or leftover junk from tools like CleanMyMac or others can cause problems.
Try Malwarebytes for Mac for a free scan. Pro Tip: Keep Time Machine backups up to date.
Same thing will work on mac too?????
My pictures were gone from my mac ;(. I was such a foolish to not use the Time machine for updates.
Sometimes deleted files aren’t actually erased but hidden. You can try:
sudo find / -name “*.jpg” 2>/dev/null
Or, you can check your iCloud backup.
I accidentally deleted some important pictures from my MacBook Pro running macOS Ventura. They’re not in the Trash or Photos app recently deleted folder. I didn’t use Time Machine. Is there any way to recover these photos using software or Terminal commands?
Could these steps cause data loss, or is it safe to proceed without backing up the system first?
My MacBook is running unusually slowly. Even simple tasks like opening Safari, switching between apps, or launching Finder take seconds. To make matters worse, the system now takes over two minutes to boot up, whereas it used to be ready in under 30 seconds.
If your Mac desktop feels overwhelmingly cluttered, there are several simple ways to restore order and keep things tidy. Start by using the Stacks feature, which automatically organizes your desktop files into neat groups based on type, date, or tags—just right-click on the desktop and select “Use Stacks.”
Is there any way to fix it?
Have you already updated your Intel and other device drivers and run the DISM and SFC scans? Also, did the intelppm.sys Blue Screen start immediately after a particular Windows update or driver change?
