Hmmm.


Old issue, new issue , what changed?


What exact Mac?

macOS—Here I see < macOS 12.1>


for Intel Mac

Try resetting the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379



for M1 SoC - SMC reset equivalent is Shut down, close the lid 30 secs+ , reboot as normal

no resolve—Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262



if no resolve—

  • Call Customer Support (800) MY–APPLE (800–692–7753)
  • call AppleCare Support at 1-800-APLCARE (800-275-2273)
