• If the installer asks to unlock your disk, enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
• If the installer doesn't see your disk, or it says that it can't install on your computer or volume, you might need to erase your disk first.
• If the installer offers you the choice between installing on Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data, choose Macintosh HD.
• Allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart and show a progress bar several times, and the screen might be empty for minutes at a time.

After installation is complete, your Mac might restart to a setup assistant. If you're selling, trading in, or giving away your Mac, press Command-Q to quit the assistant without completing setup. Then click Shut Down. When the new owner starts up the Mac, they can use their own information to complete setup.

Other macOS installation options

When you install macOS from Recovery, you get the current version of the most recently installed macOS, with some exceptions:

• On an Intel-based Mac: If you use Shift-Option-Command-R during startup, you're offered the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available. If you use Option-Command-R during startup, in most cases you're offered the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac. Otherwise you're offered the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
• If the Mac logic board was just replaced, you may be offered only the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac. If you just erased your entire startup disk, you may be offered only the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.

You can also use these methods to install macOS, if the macOS is compatible with your Mac:

• Use the App Store to download and install the latest macOS.
• Use the App Store or a web browser to download and install an earlier macOS.
• Use a USB flash drive or other secondary volume to create a bootable installer.

how about just creating a hot corner and setting the screensaver to that corner . . a swift movement of the mouse would start the screensaver!! That's what I do at work to stop students accessing my login!

May the X be with you!!

or try: SHIFT+CMD+Q
or better yet: SHIFT+OPTION+CMD+Q
that should bring you back to the login window.

These shortcuts will log out and quit all running apps. But the goal of this hint was to keep them running and prevent access to the computer so that one can easily resume work.
Logging out and locking screen is not the same thing.

Ahh, no they won't. Using Fast User Switching will not Close your account, but log out to the Login panel. Your app's keep running!
Only if you choose Log Out from the Apple menu, will you close your account and quit running apps.

> Ahh, no they won't.
Yes, they do.
Shift-Cmd-Q and Option-Shift-Cmd-Q quit running apps and log out w/ and wo/confirmation dialog. Outrundebt mac os.

He's right Marook. Sorry man.
The only way to user switch with out logging out is by choosing a different user from the fsu menu.

Don't forget to make sure you command drag the keychain menu status item to be the leftmost item. This is the only way I could get this hint to work.
Is it me or is the OS X shortcut keys functionality lacking? Why do I need a 3rd party utility to bind cmd+opt+ctrl+t to launch the terminal app? You'd think we would have seen some improvement from Panther to Tiger in this area, but alas, nothing. If I'm missing something, please feel free to enlighten me. Don't know why someone would need this? Imagine being able to create a universal shortcut to an applescript or launching your address book from anywhere with cmd+opt+ctrl+a.

>Why do I need a 3rd party utility to bind cmd+opt+ctrl+t to launch the terminal app?
You can use One Key, Spark, Quicksilver, etc. to do this.

Yes. And all of those are third-party utilities.

The problem with a hot corner is that (and try as they might, I don't think Apple will get round it) screens have just four corners, and there are 5 expose features including dashboard. Plus on a laptop it can be tough to nail hot corners - as well as activating them accidentally being really annoying.
I recently came up with my own way around this, which was to go to
System/Library/Frameworks/Screensaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app
Then opt-command drag the app to the desktop. Cmd-i it to enter something like 'sss' (start screen saver) in the spotlight info, now ctrl-space, sss, cmd-enter and bingo, screensaver is up. Might save some people out there valuable menu bar space if you don't want Keychain Access up there.
I only aliased the app as I don't think Spotlight will search the System folder, but I guess you can move it anywhere in your home folder.

On 'start screen saver', 'not using Hot Corners', keyboard shortcut, one-click, quick-start, easy access:
Drag the ( System/Library/Frameworks/Screensaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app ) to the Dock.
Click on shortcut in Dock to start Screen Saver.

I was able to use this tip to make Mighty Mouse activate the screen saver. Baked:magic demo mac os.
I wanted to use the side buttons, since I don't use them for anything else.
I simply assigned that app to the side buttons and it works perfectly fine in addition to the lower right corner that I use to activate it as well.
I can move my mouse or I can simply now use the side buttons.

Or, when setting a screen corner in Exposé, you can use any modifier keys you like on your hot corner.
My screen saver only activates when I hold down the command key and put the mouse in the upper right corner.
With modifiers, there are something like 64 possible combinations.

You could just hit Windows Key + L to lock your windows box.
Company of heroes manual activation unlock code. That seems easier to me.

I think I read this here, but I can't find it in the archives. Perhaps it was some place else.
Anyway, for ths you need Quicksilver and this little apple script:
tell application 'ScreenSaverEngine'
activate
end tell
1) Save that in an applescript somewhere.
2) Then open the Quicksilver preferences and go to Triggers.
3) Add a new trigger by clicking on the plus Icon
4) Type in the name of your script and select it (you might need to rerun your indexing for quicksilver so it gets the script)
5) You can now add any keyboard shortcut you like (I have ctrl+cmd+L).
Thats it, now you can lock your screen with a shortcut.
But I agree having a hot corner is the quickesway. :)

Couldn't you just set up the same keyboard shortcut through the keyboard preference panel? Just save your script as an app.
Doc

Unless I'm missing something about what you're saying, you can't set Keyboard Preferences to launch an app. You can only set it to execute a menu item by name of an already running app.
I guess the third-party guys are happy with the current state, but it seems that Apple already has a nice GUI for assigning keystrokes globally or per Application, but the implementation is pretty weak. When they first introduced it I thought they were going to make it a full blown centralized keystroke assignment/action customization system, but instead you've got a hodgepodge of things like Keyboard Prefs bindings (weak), the global AppleScript menu (can do just about anything, but no keyboard assignments), and Automator workflows (good for adding contextual menus, but again, no keyboard assignments). All of these should interoperate better.

Axe, bow & staff mac os. Enable the Script menu, and make sure that your applescript is in the menu. Then Keyboard shortcuts can launch the app.
I'll admit I haven't tried this, but it should work.
Doc

I don't know. For me it always has side effects. I set a zoom global shortcut, but instead of zooming only the front window, like the menu point does when going throught the menu, it zooms all windows.
So I don't even bother with these settings anymore.

Ok, I don't know why this hasn't been mentioned yet, but if you have Quicksilver installed one of the default apple script actions is 'Fast Logout' as in fast user switch to the login screen. So in less than four key strokes my computer is locked at the login screen and all my programs stay running. Plus its more secure than the screen saver.
I can't recommend enough the Quicksilver program. It saves me so much time and I am constantly learning of new functionality. I hardly use the finder or spotlight, but I use QS all the time.

same here. I never use spotlight, because I know where my stuff is and for starting programs QS is just 1000 times faster. plus it lets my type in stuff and doesn't need to search an endless time.

Why should fast logout be more secure than a screensaver? If I turn of fast user switching and I lock my PC with the screensaver than only I can access it and nobody can login with some other account that might be there.

I agree. Quicksilver is probably the most useful app around. I've solved this issue for myself by having it the launch the Screen Saver Engine by typing 'SS'.

Couldn't you launch the script with One Key or Spark or some other keyboard file-launching utility? I have One Key and Quicksilver but I have never even opened Quicksilver.

I know that this is a Mac site, but I couldn't help but provide a Windows tip. Instead of Ctrl+Alt+Del+Space to lock your WinXP machine, you can just use windows+L.

I have been looking for something to do this ever since I bought my first Mac. Coming from windows, I used to use Win-key-L to lock the screen, which is separate from the screen-saver password. I expected this hint to do that, but it doesn't. =/
When I tried this hint I had my screensaver password enabled since I just use a hot-corner to lock my system right now. I put the lock thing up there, hit 'lock screen' and sure enough, it worked. Woohoo, right? Well, since I didn't need to lock with the screen-saver activation anymore, I turned off needing a Password to wake from sleep or screensaver. All the sudden locking the screen does not lock the screen. It simply turns on the screensaver. So, basically it seems to have the same function as the hot-corner. Very lame.

1. In System Pref 'Security', choose 'Require password to wake'
2. When you leave the desk, press the power button, followed by 's'
Cheers :-)

If you still need processes to run but need the computer locked, if you have fast user switching enabled:
1. click on fast user switching icon/name on menu screen
2. select login window
And there ya go. You'll then have to select your username and enter a password (if you have one) in order to get back into your system.
BTW, the hint claims it's a keyboard shortcut, but if one is lifiting one's hand off of the keyboard to click on something, that's not really a keyboard shortcut now, is it?

'Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my suit against the film The NeverEnding Story.' -Lionel Hutz (of Simpsons fame)

This only works on laptops. To get the same dialog on a desktop Mac, press Control-Eject. On desktops, the power button instantly puts the computer to sleep.

Actually, that behavior can be changed in Energy Saver. On non-laptops, there's an option to have the Power button Sleep the computer - just uncheck that option. Now, the Power button will function the way it does on laptops; it'll bring up the Sleep, Restart, Shutdown or Cancel dialog.

'Open the Preferences panel (menu: Keychain Access->Preferences).'
I don't see a 'Preferences' menu option .
Is this possible a Tiger-only hint? (I am using Panther, 10.3.9).

Yes, those are Tiger-only steps. Sorry.

In Panther, choose 'Show Status in Menu Bar' from the View menu in Keychain Access.

I think what is meant is that the Keychain Access application has preferences to set — and, BTW, the essential Keychain check and repair.

Nice tip. Just a quick note on the Windows lock, by the way. if you have a keyboard with the Windows key on it, just the Windows key plus L to lock the display. Much simpler than doing the Ctrl-Alt-Del and then L.

Building on the above hint, get the application OnMyCommand and create a contextual menu item that runs the command
open /System/Library/Frameworks/Screensaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app
Then you can lock the screen (assuming you have set it to do so) with a click of the right mouse button (or control-click for a one-button mouse).

Here's another one.
If you use FUS, get WinSwitch, and it also have a [assignable] hot-key to move to the Login-panel.
Works nicely.

/Marook

This is what I do! I use FruitMenu to redo my Apple menu, changing Log Out to Command-Option-Shift-Q. Then I set up WinSwitch to go to the login window with Command-Shift-Q. It is great!

there is nothing special about equal rights.

or try: SHIFT+CMD+Q
or better yet: SHIFT+OPTION+CMD+Q
that should bring you back to the login window.

These shortcuts will log out and quit all running apps. But the goal of this hint was to keep them running and prevent access to the computer so that one can easily resume work.
Logging out and locking screen is not the same thing.

makeinu, thanks for that link to 'LockTight'. That's the perfect solution. System-wide, the hotkey works and engages the screen saver [which I've set to require a password]. Perfect!

just a quick tip for your XP Laptop in stead of - then Space you could just use + to lock it

Why not just use apple-shift-Q?
And I lock my windoze box with the windowskey-L.
Heh heh heh!
:-)

Has anyone on a laptop ever tried closing the lid? That puts the computer to sleep.

CMD+OPTION+EJECT puts system to sleep. Combine this with 'Enable password on awake' in Prefs->Security and there you go!
