NVRAM (nonvolatile random-access memory) is a small volume of memory used by Mac to store certain settings and to be able to access them quickly in generic operations. In NVRAM are stored information such as: the volume, resolution displayboot disk (startup disk), Time zone (time zone) and recent information about kernel. There may be other settings stored in NVRAM, these ofpinzand and the model of your Mac. For example, on the models MacBook Pro 2017 and MacBook Pro 2016, in NVRAM settings such as “storedAutomatic start-up of the system after opening the lid (lid)”- you can find more in this tutorial.

If we enterpinyou have problems with these settings, NVRAM reset could be the saving solution. Writing some erroneous information on NVRAM or corrupting this memory space from various causes, can lead to settings errors previously announced. All this can be corrected by resetting NVRAM.

How to reset NVRAM (NonVolatile Random-Access Memory) on Mac / MacBook 

1. Close Mac / MacBook. Shut Down...

2. Turn on your Mac then immediately press si keep the presses keys Option, Command, P si R.

3. While Mac gives signs to restart after approx 20 seconds release these four keys. On Macs that have startup sound macOS, you can release the four keys immediately after playing the sound. On iMac Pro you can release the keys after the logo Apple appears and disappears a second time.

After restarting you may need to go to "Preferences”To restore the sound, boot disk, screen resolution and other settings that were stored by NVRAM.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
