[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1923513, member: 83420"] Put simply: you have or create a full backup of your Mac's internal drive. You then, using Recovery Mode, wipe the Drive completely and then download a fresh copy of the OS. Then you manually copy all your data from your backup to the clean Drive and it's new OS. This can be done, for example, by using Migration Assistant (an app which is part of the OS). There's a touch more to it than that but that's the basics. After all your data, apps, photos, music etc is copied over, you are left with adjusting your settings and suchlike. All your "personal stuff" is back where it should be. Ian [/QUOTE]
