This mode can easily fix your iOS system problems, restore iPhone and reinstall iOS. But unlike [DFU mode](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/iphone-dfu-mode), another mode often used by developers, Recovery mode only lets you install an iOS similar to or higher than the current iOS.

* You want to restore your iPhone.
* Your computer cannot read iPhone content.
* Your iPhone is disabled or permanently locked.

* If your screen is [stuck on the Apple logo](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/iphone-stuck-on-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 Windows PCs and Macs 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.

    
    
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.)

## Why Won't My Mac Connect to Wi-Fi?

There's a couple of reasons why your Mac won't connect to Wi-Fi. Here are the most common ones:

- Your Mac is not in the signal range.

- Turn off and turn on Wi-Fi to restart it.
- Restart your Mac.

If your Mac still can't connect to Wi-Fi, then move to the following advanced methods.

### Delete Your Registered Network

### Remove Unnecessary System Extensions

We've found that some system extensions may also prevent your Mac from connecting to Wi-Fi, especially anti-virus extensions. If your [System Integrity Protection](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/disabling_and_enabling_system_integrity_protection) (SIP) is on, the extensions of antivirus software will remain on your Mac after you uninstall them. To remove these extensions, you should turn off the SIP (which will not affect your Mac) first. Here are the detailed steps:

1.  While booting Mac, press and hold Command + R until the Apple logo appears. 
2. Click the Utility at the top left of your Mac screen and select Terminal.
3. Execute the command: `csrutil status`, and you will see Enable. Continue to run the command: `csrutil disable`.
4. Restart your Mac, and the SIP will be closed. 
5. Open the Terminal via Spotlight or Launchpad. 
6. Execute the command: `csrutil disable` again and you will see that the status has changed to disable. Continue to run: `systemextensionsctl list`, you will see the list of extensions installed on your system, and the Team ID and Bundle ID of each extension. 
7. Continue to run the command: `systemextensionsctl uninstall <team id> <bundle id>` in Terminal to remove the extension you don't want. You will be asked to enter your administrator password.

e.g. `systemextensionsctl uninstall ABCDEFGHIJ com.some.unwanted.extension`

8. To delete more extensions, repeat the step 7.
9. Restart your Mac and see if your Mac can connect to Wi-Fi.

:note[It is recommended that you complete the above steps and repeat steps 1-4 to enable the SIP. Don't forget to change the command to `csrutil enable`.]{notetype=Note}

## How to Fix Slow Safari on Mac

Below we have listed 9 ways to speed up your slow Safari. Pick one or try them all to bring your Safari back to life!

### 1. Close Unwanted Tabs

A tab is actually what we call an open window. When you are using Safari, too many loading pages may cause a slow Safari. So you can close some unimportant tabs after browsing.

### 2. Clear History and Caches

The longer you use the Safari browser, the more history and cache Safari stores on your computer. This may slow down your Safari browser, so you will need to clear this data.

Follow the steps to clear them:

**Clear History:**

1. Open Safari.
2. Click the **History** menu in Safari and select **Clear History**.
3.  Select the time period you want to clear and click **Clear History**.

**Empty Caches:**

1. Click the Safari menu.
2. Click **Settings** ＞ **Advanced** ＞ check **Show Develop menu in menu bar**.

### 3. Check and Reset Network

Sometimes Safari is slow to load may not be a problem inside Safari. The network environment is also a key to the speed of Safari. You can check whether the network connection is disconnected and whether the network signal is good. If you find that the network is bad, you can switch the network in time.

Here we also find a faster way to monitor the network speed for you - [**BuhoCleaner**](https://www.drbuho.com/buhocleaner). It is a powerful network speed checker.:div{id='download-slide'}

### 5. Disable Unwanted Extensions


Installing multiple Safari extensions may lead to increasing CPU and RAM, which means the performance of the browser will be significantly slowed down. We recommend you uninstall some unimportant extensions to speed up Safari.

And here's how to disable unwanted Safari extensions:

1. Click the **Safari menu** > **Settings** > **Extensions**.
2. Find the extension you want to disable and click **Uninstall**, and wait for the uninstallation to finish.

### 6. Disable Search Engine Suggestions


Search engine suggestions are easy to ignore but disabling them also plays an important role in speeding up Safari. 

Follow the steps below to disable search engine suggestions:

1. Click the Safari menu > Search.
2. Uncheck **Include search engine suggestions**.

   
### 7. Disable DNS Prefetching and Switch DNS Provider

[DNS](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/flush-dns-cache-on-mac) prefetching is the act of resolving a website's IP address before a user clicks on its link. If you are running Safari version 5.0.1 or later, DNS prefetching will also slow down your Safari. So you need to disable DNS prefetching in time.

And here is how:

1. Open **Terminal**.
2. Enter the following text: `defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false`.
3. If you have Safari open, you will need to quit and relaunch Safari.

Switching DNS providers can also speed up Safari. Follow the steps below:

1. Click the Apple menu > **System Settings** ＞ **Network** ＞ **Wi-Fi** ＞ **Details** ＞ **DNS** ＞ **+**.
2. Enter **8.8.8.8** / **8.8.4.4** and click **OK**.

### 8. Check and Clear Virus

In addition to the above methods, checking for viruses is also a practical way to speed up Safari. If you have a virus on your computer, your Safari will obviously be affected. So you can download antivirus software and check for viruses.

### 9. Have a Thorough Cleaning for Your Mac

In addition, a slow Safari may need a thorough cleaning. Removing unwanted apps and disabling startup items contribute a lot to a high-speed Mac. We recommend that you pick a professional third-party software like BuhoCleaner to do a big cleaning of your Mac. After that, you may get a high-speed Mac as well as a high-speed Safari like before.
