  • Few things are as frustrating as trying to start
    your Mac only to end up with the dreaded Mac
    folder with a question mark. You've probably
    tried using keyboard shortcuts like CTRL R,
    CTRL Option R, or Shift CTRL Option R,
    but you still get the flashing folder icon on
    startup.While this may strike fear into your
    heart as a Mac user, there are known causes for
    it and proven solutions that will help you get
    your Mac back on track.
  • Follow the instructions to find out why the
    folder with the question mark in the middle of
    the screen appears and how you can solve the
    problem. While this issue is more prevalent among
    older Macs, we will try to address the same for
    newer Mac models as well.

  • If you're trying to boot from your Mac's internal
    drive, you need to shut down the computer, and
    then boot it up while holding down Command R
    until the globe or Apple logo appears. That will
    put your Mac into recovery mode, and then you can
    change the startup disk by selecting the option
    from the Apple menu.
  • Recovery mode is useful when your Mac won't start
    normally because the startup disk is corrupted or
    corrupted. That could be due to corrupt files or
    minor power surges that you're not aware of, but
    it fixes the problem without you having to go to
    extreme lengths, like reinstalling your macOS.
  • If the Mac folder with a question mark appears
    because your drive has failed, the only thing you
    can do is replace the drive and use the time
    capsule or other backup device you've been using
    to recover your data to the new drive .

    the flashing Mac folder with a question mark on
    your screen. Try the fixes above and let us know
    what worked for you.
  • Erase your startup disk using macOS Recovery and
    reinstall macOS (do not select your external
    disk). Your Mac will restart on its own after
    wiping the disc and installing macOS, and the
    setup wizard will show up. Copy your data to your
    startup drive by selecting the option to migrate
    data from a Time Machine backup or another drive,
    in this case your external drive.
