![]() I still hope it will change, and we would be able to read again and understand exactly what’s going on in our systems. Oh yeah, that’s true and sad, Apple documentation (including man pages) these days is incomplete, outdated, and for many things simply missing. It should be reinstituted as a matter of urgency. It used to provide lists of recently added and updated support notes, but discontinued this practice some years ago. It is also unacceptable that Apple has no means of alerting its customers to such significant changes in its documentation. It is absurd there are now six quite different procedures for resetting the SMC, some involving keyboard gymnastics which many Mac users will at least find difficult. It is a great pity – and a pain for users – that this doesn’t now extend to the design of routine maintenance procedures. I have updated my article on resetting SMC and NVRAM to reflect these changes.Īpple takes pride in its superlative design. Release those keys and the Power button, and wait a few seconds before pressing the Power button to start it up again.Then keep holding those keys while you also press and hold the Power button for another 7 seconds. Once it is shut down, press and hold the right Shift key, the left Option key, and the left Control key for 7 seconds.Reconnect its mains power lead, and wait for 5 seconds.Disconnect its mains power lead for 15 seconds.In the event that that procedure fails to reset the SMC, Apple now recommends one of two procedures to be used as fallbacks. It is now becoming clear that this doesn’t always work. (Apple has changed the period of time for which to hold the Power button from 8 to 10 seconds.) after releasing the Power button, wait a few seconds, then press the Power button to start the Mac up. ![]()
