## What Is DFU Mode?

DFU is an acronym for Development Firmware Upgrade. DFU mode is another mode on iOS that allows you to force upgrade and downgrade iOS firmware. It is also known as developer mode for iOS. As the name suggests, DFU mode is more suitable for developers. If you are new to iOS, use this mode with caution.

### DFU Mode vs Recovery Mode

The biggest difference between DFU mode and Recovery mode is whether iBoot (bootloader) is loaded, which is a remote power controller that allows you to control, reboot, and cycle power to any connected device from a distance. In Recovery mode, Finder or iTunes will load iBoot to restore and upgrade your firmware, while in DFU mode, Finder or iTunes will bypass iBoot, so you can use this mode to jailbreak and downgrade your iOS.


![recovery-mode-vs-dfu-mode.png](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/recovery_mode_vs_dfu_mode_a2b4882336.png?width=500)

### When To Put Your iPhone in DFU Mode

DFU is not commonly used as the Recovery mode, because most of the problems of iOS can be solved in Recovery mode. Here are some situations when you should put your iPhone in DFU mode:


* To fix issues that can not be fixed in Recovery mode.
* To downgrade your iOS.
* To jailbreak or unjailbreak your iPhone.


## How to Put Your iPhone Into DFU Mode

![Put iPhone Into DFU Mode on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/put_iphone_into_dfu_mode_finder_59c7e7709c.png)

### How to Put iPhone 7 and 7 Plus into DFU Mode

1. Connect your iPhone with iTunes or Finder via a USB cable.
2. Press and hold the **Home** button and the **Side** button at the same time.

:note[When your iPhone enters DFU mode successfully, your iPhone will be in a black screen state. If your iPhone shows the "Plug into iTunes or Computer” screen, it is in recovery mode.]{notetype=Tip}

## How to Get iPhone out of DFU Mode

We already know how to put an iPhone into DFU mode. So what should you do if you want to get your iPhone out of DFU mode?

Normally, we don't need to do it manually because your iPhone will exit DFU mode automatically when the restore process is complete. In case your iPhone gets stuck in DFU mode, follow these steps to exit the mode:

* iPhone 8 and later: Quickly press and release the Volume Up button, then quickly press and release the Volume Down button, then press the Side button until the Apple logo screen appears.

While Apple doesn't allow you to download iOS firmware directly, you don't have to worry about tampering with IPSW files downloaded from third-party sites, as Finder and iTunes will verify the signature and integrity of the firmware you download before performing the firmware downgrade.


Now that you have downloaded the available iOS firmware, let's see how to downgrade your iPhone.

1. Connect your iPhone to a computer via a USB cable.
2. Open iTunes on Windows or Finder on Mac.
3. If you haven't backed up your iPhone, use Finder or iTunes to do so.
4. If you're using Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking Restore iPhone. If you're using iTunes, hold down the Shift key.
   ![Downgrade iOS with Finder](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/downgrade_ios_finder_18a153f697.png)
5. Select the iOS firmware file you downloaded, and click Restore to confirm.
   ![Select a Firmware to Restore](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/selet_a_firmware_to_restore_776b354105.png)
6. After the restore process is complete, set up and restore your iPhone.

## How to Downgrade iOS Using DFU Mode

DFU mode is a more advanced mode than recovery mode. It can be used to downgrade your iOS. If the above method cannot help you restore iOS successfully, follow the steps below to do it in DFU mode.

1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC.
3. Open Finder on your Mac or iTunes on your PC.
4. Put your iPhone into DFU mode. If you successfully enter DFU mode, your iPhone will be on a black screen, and a window will pop up in Finder or iTunes saying it detected your iPhone in DFU mode.
   ![Downgrade iOS in DFU Mode](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/downgrade_ios_in_dfu_mode_82636adef4.png)
5. If you are using Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking the Restore iPhone button. If you're using iTunes, hold down the Shift key while clicking the Restore iPhone button.
6. Select the old iOS firmware you downloaded and click Open > Restore.
7. Wait for the restore process to complete, then set up your iPhone.

:note[You can also [put your iPhone into recovery mode](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/get-iphone-into-and-out-of-recovery-mode) and follow steps 5-7 to downgrade your iOS. But the downgrade in DFU mode is cleaner.]{notetype=Tip}

## How to Downgrade iOS Using a Downgrade Tool

Another way to downgrade iOS is to use an iOS downgrade tool. The best part about using a downgrade tool is that you don't need to go to a third-party website to download the iOS firmware you want manually, it will automatically match you with the old version of iOS that you can install.

You just need to choose an iOS downgrade tool you like, install and open it, follow the on-screen guides to connect your device, and proceed to the next step to complete the downgrade steps.

:a[Apps Crashing on macOS Ventura? Here's the Fix]{href='https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/fix-crashing-apps-macos'}

:::

Have you ever encountered the problem that your Mac cannot connect to Wi-Fi, especially after upgrading to the latest macOS Ventura? Failure to connect to Wi-Fi means that you cannot access the Internet, which brings great inconvenience to our work and life. If you are facing such a problem, then don't miss this blog post. In this article, you will learn why your Mac can’t connect to Wi-Fi and how to solve the problem in 10 ways.

## 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.
- The router is defective.
- Problems with the broadband.
- Problems with the Wi-Fi network.
- Too old macOS versions.

## How to Fix "Mac Not Connecting to Wi-Fi" Issue

Here are some basic methods you can try when your Mac fails to connect to Wi-Fi.

- Make sure your Mac is within the signal range.
- Check whether the network cable is properly connected.
- Turn off and turn on Wi-Fi to restart it.
- Restart your Mac.
- Reboot the router.
- Contact the broadband provider.

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

### Delete Your Registered Network

This method requires you to delete your network first and then re-enter your network password to connect.

1. Click the Apple Menu > System Settings > Network. 
2. Click Wi-Fi, then navigate to the Known Networks panel.
3. Select the network you want to delete, click the 3-dot menu next to it and select Forget This Network.
   ![Remove Registered Network](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/remove_registered_network_aaf51784d0.png?width=700)
4. Click the Wi-Fi icon in the status menu, find your network name, and then enter your Account Name and Password to reconnect to the network.

### Unplug External USB Devices

On some older MacBooks, the USB and Wi-Fi modules are close together. When your computer is plugged into a USB or other external device, it may interfere with the Wi-Fi module's signal, causing the Wi-Fi connection to fail. All you need to do is unplug the external devices.

### Update macOS

An old macOS may cause your Mac to fail to connect to Wi-Fi or have an unstable Wi-Fi connection. If you haven't updated your operating system for a long time, you may need to do so. (Please don't forget to [back up](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/back-up-mac) your system before updating it.)

![Update macOS](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/update_macos_81647f8daa.png?width=700)

### Update DHCP Lease

If you have a fixed IP address, you can try to manually update the DHCP lease to solve the problem of the Wi-Fi connection.

1. Choose Apple Menu > System Settings > Network. 
2. Click a network service on the right, click Details, then click TCP/IP.
3. Click Renew DHCP Lease.

![How to Renew DHCP Lease](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/renew_dhcp_lease_c02949a46d.png?width=700)

### Change DNS Settings

Normally, DNS addresses are obtained automatically. If your current DNS is not working properly, you can try using a free public DNS. Google has a free DNS. You can have a try.

1. Choose Apple menu > System Settings.
2. Click Network in the sidebar, then click Network Services on the right.
3. Click Details and scroll down to find DNS.
4. Click DNS, then click the plus (+) button and add Google's DNS address: 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4.
   ![How to Change DNS Settings](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/change_dns_settings_6df44b1d5f.png?width=700)
4. Click the OK button and reconnect to the network.

The DNS cache stores as many DNS lookups as possible so that you can perform DNS lookups again. When you need to resolve network problems caused by DNS cache, you can clean the DNS cache. With [BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com/buhocleaner), you can clean up your DNS cache with one click.

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

1. Download and install BuhoCleaner on your Mac.
2. Launch BuhoCleaner,  select Toolkit, and click the Start button to flush DNS cache quickly.
    ![How to Flush DNS Cache with BuhoCleaner on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/clear_dns_caches_854be442c3.png)

### Delete Files from System Configuration

Delete all the files in the System Configuration folder except for com.apple.Boot.plist.

1. Open Finder from the Dock.
2. Press Shift + Command + G, and then type /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration in the blank box and press the Return button on the keyboard.
3. Keep the file named com.apple.Boot.plist and delete all other files in it.
    ![Delete System Configuration Files](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/delete_system_configuration_files_197a5770bc.png)

### 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}

:p[Conclusion]{.h2}

Now you have learned several ways to solve the problem that Mac cannot connect to Wi-Fi. Hope you can access Wi-Fi by trying one or more of these methods. If your Mac still cannot connect to Wi-Fi through these methods, there may be a problem with your Mac hardware, and you may need to seek help from a repairer.

Did you know that temporary files are constantly created on your Mac? While some of them are automatically cleared, most are still stored on your drive, eating up your precious storage space.

Wondering what temporary files are, where they are stored, and more importantly, how to clear them? Look no further. Here you will find all the answers.

:a[9 Best Ways to Free Up Space on Mac]{href='https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/free-up-space-on-mac'}

:::


## What Are Temporary Files?

Temporary files are files that are created automatically when we use apps and visit websites. They are designed to help apps run faster and pages load without delays. The main forms of temporary files include caches, log files, [browser cookies](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/clear-cookies-mac), and intermediate document versions.

Regularly, we don't delete them because we don't know where they are. But it's necessary because they can take up several gigabytes of space. 

So the question is: where exactly are the temp files? Keep reading.

## Where Are the Temporary Files on Mac?

As we mentioned earlier, temporary files come in several forms. So it's hard to find all of them. But luckily, you can use Terminal to quickly find the main temporary folder on your Mac. Here's how:

1. Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
2. Paste `open $TMPDIR` into Terminal and press Return, you will see the path to the main temporary folder.

![find-main-temporary-files-mac.png](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/find_main_temporary_files_mac_7607d72955.png)

In addition to the main temporary folder, there are other temporary folders on your Mac, which are located in the following locations:

* /tmp
* /private/var/tmp
* /private /var/at/tmp
* /private/var/spool/cups/tmp

The cache is also part of the temporary files. The Caches folder in the user directory holds all of your app's temporary files. If you are having problems with an app, clearing its cache may solve your problem.

Now that you know where your temporary files are, let's see how to get rid of them from your Mac.

## How to Clear Temporary Files on Mac

Temporary files can be cleared safely. But that doesn't mean you can delete them all from your Mac. If you're not sure whether a file is critical to your app or system, leave it alone.

Follow the steps below to safely delete temporary files from your Mac.
