Find my iPhone makes my mac start in recovery mode
Hey guys,
I wanted to show a friend how fabulously good find my iPhone works with laptops and activated it for my late 2013 mbp retina 15" from my iPhone. After shutting down, the computer keeps starting up in recovery mode. at no point in time do I see a box to enter my pin code, just goes straight to disk utility and stuff. I tried repairing my disk, booting up while holding the option key and selecting the Macintosh HD partition manually, it just won't show me the box to put my pin in.
"Luckily", I have bootcamp so I'm writing this from my windows partition but that just feels wrong, any ideas as how to solve it?
Cheers,
Damien
Put the device in DFU mode and restore as new.

How to find my iPhone if they are still in offline mode ? My phone has been stollen in my college yesterday.
You can't.
What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.
1. Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
2. Find my lost iPod Touch
3. AT&T. Sprint, and Verizon can block stolen phones/tablets

5. What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
6. 6 Ways to Track and Recover Your Lost/Stolen iPhone
7. Find My iPhone
8. Report Stolen iPad | Stolen Lost Found Online
It pays to be proactive by following the advice on using Find My Phone before you lose your device:
1. Find My iPhone
2. Setup your iDevice on iCloud
3. OS X Lion/Mountain Lion- About Find My Mac
4. How To Set Up Free Find Your iPhone (Even on Unsupported Devices)

Find My Mac can be used from Find My Phone at iCloud.com and via Find
My Phone on your iDevice.

i cannot able able to start my macbook and then i started my mac in a recovery mode now mac os X utility window opens with 4 options 1. Restore From Time Machine Backup 2. Reinstall Mac OSX 3. Get Help Online 4. Disk Utility if i try to restore my mac with time machine no option appears if i reinstall from Mac OSX error comes and cannot able to recover from disk utility please help how can i reinstall mac OSX
Guitar21,
your MacBook Pro has booted into its Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get to the login screen now? -
I have misplaced my iPod Touch 4th Generation. According to Find my iPhone, it should show up in offline mode. I need help on locating it with a software or some other way. Help?
There is no other way.

My iphone keeps rebooting and going to recovery mode. HELP
Okay, so it all started about 2 months ago when I let my iphone die. I put it on charge, then went to sleep. I woke up and found out my iphone wouldn't stop rebooting and going to recovery. I have dug so deep into forums just to find a solution but nothing has helped. Most of all I think this is a hardware issue.
I have done the DFU restore, I have restored (around 20 times.), but my iphone has a broken power button so its hard to get around some things.
It will show the apple logo, then the "connect to itunes".
Please if you have a bite of information or you have had this problem, PLEASE help me out!
Thanks in advance.If you are restoring from a backup that could be a reason why your issue is still there
Restore your iphone using itunes one last time, this time setup as new.
Try it for a couple of hours or the amount of time it usually takes your iphone to reboot and go Into recovery mode.
If issue stops then is something in that backup
If it continues or if you have already set up as new in those restores you have done before
call apple so they could look more Into It (1800 692-7753) -
hi i have a iphone 5 and it is in recovery mode and it says i have to restore it before i can do anything else but when i try to restore it say the iphone cannot be restored it can not be found
please get back to me as soon as possible
~bananagirl16Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

My mac reboots to recovery mode...help
I have a mid 2007 imac....upgraded RAM and installed Mavericks... Everything fine here. The other day I was working on some graphics and it completely froze...nothing responded so had to perform a hard reboot. After this, started having boot problems. Got the file and questionmark logo....made safe reboot....seemed to work. Reboot number 2....still doesnt work so i decided to reboot a gain into recovery mode....performed a disk repair from disk utility and said it couldnt repair. So i wiped the HD and tried to reinstall mavericks.....stuck at 0 (zero) seconds. waited for half an hour and had to hard reboot. Now my mac automatically starts into recovery mode and does not recognize my HD when i try to selct it as boot disk.....im desperate....someone please help. Oh and a mac store ain't an option because the closest one is +3 hours away (i live in a small town)
First boot your Mac into Single User mode by holding down the Command + S till then you hear the start up chime. After that you will see a bunch of white text starts appearing. Now when the Single User boot sequence got finished, you will see the command prompt at the bottom of the screen by a hash sign(#).Just tpye the following command there : fsck -fy
After that 'File system was modified' message will appear, then again run the above command until you see another message prompting that 'the volume appears to be ok'. Then type reboot to leave Single User mode.
Secondly, the startup disk system preference is the usual method to set this. As the setting is written to NVRAM, you could also just reset that and the mac should prefer the OS over the Recovery HD. If you can't select the Mac OS X, re-run the OS X installer. -

Try to Restore with iTunes on your computer. If this does not work, there is full Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

How do i get my photos back, if I didn't back up my iPhone 5 and now its in recovery mode after updating from iOS 8.0.1 to iOS 8.0.2?
In you case, the only way is to use data recovery app to get back your lost photos, so the chance is uncertain. It depends on how smart the app it's. The good news is that most of the apps allow you to try them out. You can test them out by yourself. The steps are:
Install data recovery app on your computer
connect your iPhone and allow the app scan iphone
display scanning result
choose local folder to store recovered items
You can choose to recover your photos from local disk, iTunes backup or icloud. More details can be found out here. -
