I need a terminal solution for the nvram reset. The shutdown and command option p r startup isn't working. Can anyone help?
Mac Studio
FWIW, restarting or shutting down for 30 seconds is the equivalent of resetting the SMC on Intel Macs. As I mentioned, there is no NVRAM on M1 & M2 Macs, so there's nothing to reset.
M1 & M2 Macs have no NVRAM to reset.
Don't use the command line to clear the NVRAM on an M1/M2 Mac as I've seen a couple users post on here that bad things happened to their M1/M2 Macs.
If you have an Intel Mac, then please give us the exact model of the computer which you can get by clicking the Apple menu and selecting "About This Mac". I have found some USB-C Intel Macs can be very difficult to get the PRAM reset.
Just to be clear…
"The steps in this article apply only to Mac computers with an Intel processor. They don't apply to Mac computers with Apple silicon, and aren't needed on those computers.".
A Restart effectively performs this action " nvram reset " from what I have read from more Learned Colleagues and specific to Apple Silicon Computers
EDITED
User profile of OP Mac Studio and assume it the correct ?
I never assume anything. I've seen people contradict themselves in a single post.
Agreed and all too often
NVRAM terminal
