## What Is iPhone Recovery Mode?

iPhone Recovery Mode, also known as iPhone Restore Mode, is a mode that lets your iPhone run the :a[iBoot (Bootloader)]{href=https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/IBoot_%28Bootloader%29 rel=nofollow} . This mode can easily fix your iOS system problems, restore iPhone and reinstall iOS. But unlike DFU mode, another mode often used by developers, Recovery mode only lets you install an iOS similar to or higher than the current iOS.


### When to Put Your iPhone in Recovery Mode

Recovery Mode can help you fix iOS issues. In the scenarios below, it is recommended that you put your iPhone in recovery mode.

* You want to restore your iPhone.
* Your computer cannot read iPhone content.
* Your iPhone is disabled or permanently locked.
* You want to update or reinstall iOS on Mac.
* If your screen is stuck on the Apple logo for several minutes with no progress bar.

## How to Put Your iPhone Into Recovery Mode

If you have a problem with your iPhone and you want to put it into recovery mode, follow these steps:

1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC.
2. Open Finder or iTunes.
    
    * For Macs running macOS Catalina and later, open Finder.
    * For Macs and Windows PCs running macOS Mojave and earlier, open iTunes. (If iTunes is not the latest version, update it first.)

3. Press and hold the right buttons depending on your iPhone mode until the Recovery Mode screen appears on your iPhone. (This process may take about 10 seconds.)

    * iPhone 8 or later, including iPhone SE (2nd generation): Press and quickly release the **Volume Up** button. Press and quickly release the **Volume Down** button. Then, press and hold the **Side** button until you see the recovery mode screen.
  
    * iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, or iPod touch (7th generation): Press and hold the **Top** (or **Side**) and **Volume Down** buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen.

    * iPhone 6s or earlier, including iPhone SE (1st generation), and iPod touch (6th generation) or earlier: Press and hold both the **Home** and the **Top** (or **Side**) buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen.

    
    
**Tip**: When your iPhone successfully enters recovery mode, you should see the following screen on your iPhone. (iPhones running iOS 12 and earlier have a slightly different recovery mode screen.)

![recovery-mode-ios-12-13.png](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/recovery_mode_ios_12_13_4b1c19b56f.png?width=500)


## How to Get Your iPhone Out of Recovery Mode

If you accidentally put your iPhone into recovery mode or your iPhone is stuck on the recovery screen, how do you get  it out of recovery mode? Don't worry. You can try the following methods:


**Method 1:**

Press and hold the **Side** (or **Sleep**) button until your iPhone screen goes black. Depending on your iPhone model, you'll also need to press the **Volume Down** button.

When you release the button/buttons, you will find your iPhone starts up automatically.

**Method 2:**

In principle, your iPhone will automatically exit recovery mode when the recovery process is complete. What you should do is restore or upgrade your iPhone. Note that this method may result in data loss.


**Method 3:**

Another faster way to get your iPhone out of recovery mode is to use a third-party tool such as Fix My iPhone. Just [download](https://www.minicreo.com/fix-my-iphone/), install and launch it, make sure your iPhone is connected to your computer, and click the Exit Recovery Mode button.

<toc></toc>

:alsoread[[Can't Update Mac? Here's Why and What To Do](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/cant-update-mac)]

## How Much Space Does macOS Ventura Take?

The installation package of macOS Ventura is about 12 GB. But you need more extra space to install it. If you are upgrading from macOS Sierra or later, the new macOS Ventura requires at least 35GB of free space. But if you're upgrading from an earlier version, macOS Ventura requires up to 44GB of free storage.

## How to Check Free Space on Mac

Now that you know how much space you need to upgrade to macOS Ventura, let's see how much free space you have left.

1. Click the Apple menu, select About This Mac, and then click the Storage bar.
2. After a few seconds, you will see a colored storage bar. And the last white section is Available storage.

![Check Available Storage on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/check_available_storage_mac_b3f9644865_copy_5b99772642.png)

Do you have enough free storage space? If not, read on to learn how to clear space for macOS Ventura.

## How to Free up Space on Mac for macOS Ventura 

In the following sections, we will show you how to fix not enough space to install macOS Ventura error.

### Optimize Mac Storage

In macOS Sierra and later, there is a built-in optimization tool. You can open it by clicking the Manage button above the storage bar. 

Once you open it, you will find four recommended optimizations. All you need to do is follow the instructions to optimize your storage.

![Optimize Mac Storage](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/optimize_mac_storage_970649bd8f.png)

You may also notice a category named System Data in the sidebar of the storage management window, which takes up tens to hundreds of gigabytes of space. However, you can't open it to find out what files it includes. We have an article about it, click the link below to find out.

![Remove Unneeded Files on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/delete_unneeded_files_f189c1780b.png)

Likewise, check folders such as Songs, Movies and Podcasts and delete unwanted media to free up more space.

### Uninstall Unused Apps

You probably have a lot of apps installed on your Mac. Are there any apps you have never used or haven't used in a long time?

If you're running low on storage space, removing these unwanted apps can also help you free up some space.

Apps downloaded from the App Store and the internet can be removed through the Finder. Note, however, that this approach will only delete the app itself, not all of its files.

To completely uninstalled an app, try BuhoCleaner. Its App Uninstall tool deletes apps without leaving any traces.

<group><linkbutton href='/buhocleaner/download' prefix='download'>Free Download</linkbutton></group>

1. Make sure you have BuhoCleaner installed on your Mac.
2. Launch it, click App Uninstall, and then click the Scan button.

### Move Files to iCloud or External Drive

Just select the files you want to move, drag or copy them to the destination folder, and delete the original files from your Mac.


### Delete Time Machine Local Snapshots

Many users claim that they are still unable to install macOS Ventura even if they have enough storage space. Why?

The reason may come from your Time Machine. Here's what you should do.

1. Click Apple menu > System Preferences > Time Machine.

## How to Downgrade macOS Ventura Using a Bootable Installer

What if you don't have a Time Machine backup but still want to revert to an earlier macOS? Do not worry. We'll show you how to install a downgraded macOS using a bootable installer. This method is more complicated than the two methods mentioned above. To help you understand better, we've divided the steps into 4 main parts. 

### Part 1. Prepare an External Drive

You need an external drive of at least 14GB. Although the macOS installer is about 12GB, you'll still need some extra space to store your data.

There might be other files in your drive. Let's format it. (If you've already formatted the external drive, skip to Part 2.)

1. Plug your hard drive into Mac.
2. Open the Disk Utility app via Spotlight.
3. Select your drive in the sidebar and click the Erase button at the top of the window.

   ![Downgrade Monterey: Erase External Drive](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/erase_external_drive_c3844bcf82.png)


4. Name your drive as **MyVolume** or whatever you like and choose a format your Mac supports from the Format drop-down menu. 
    - If your Mac uses HFS+, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    - If your Mac uses APFS, choose APFS.

    <note notetype='Tip'>To check which format your Mac is using, open the Terminal app and type and run the command: `diskutil info /`.</note>

5. If the Scheme is available, select GUID Partition Map.
6. Click the Erase button, then click Done.

![Downgrade Monterey: Format External Drive](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/format_external_drive_on_mac_446b65702f.png)

### Part 2. Download macOS Installers

In most cases, macOS installers are kept in the Application folder.

Before downloading the macOS installer you want, check if your Mac is compatible with it.

* macOS Monterey 12： :a[System Requirements]{href=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212551 rel=nofollow}
