APPLE-DEVICE-SUPPORT Online Practice Questions and Answers

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: If you see a lock icon and a password prompt when you try to start up a Mac with Apple silicon to recoveryOS, the most likely reason is that your Mac is enrolled in an MDM solution and has a recoveryOS password set by the administrator. This password prevents unauthorized access to the recovery environment and the startup options screen, where you can change the security policy, erase the internal storage, or reinstall macOS. You need to enter the correct password to proceed to recoveryOS. If you don't know the password, you should contact your administrator or the organization that manages your Mac. The other options are not the most likely reasons for this screen to appear, as they have different effects or symptoms. A FileVault password is used to unlock the encrypted startup volume, not the recoveryOS. If your Mac has a FileVault password set, you will see a different screen that asks you to enter the password or the recovery key to unlock the disk. You can still access the recoveryOS without entering the FileVault password by holding down the power button until you see the startup options screen. A security policy that disallows access to recoveryOS is not possible on a Mac with Apple silicon. The security policy only affects the ability to boot from external media or run non-Apple operating systems. You can always access the recoveryOS by holding down the power button until you see the startup options screen, unless there is a recoveryOS password set by an MDM solution. A Startup Utility password is not a feature on a Mac with Apple silicon. The Startup Utility is an app that lets you select a startup disk on a Mac with Intel processor. On a Mac with Apple silicon, you can select a startup disk from the startup options screen, which may require a recoveryOS password if your Mac is enrolled in an MDM solution.

Explanation: When you install an application on a Mac, the installer creates a log file that records the progress and any errors that occur during the installation process. You can use the Console app to view the install log and troubleshoot any issues that may prevent the installation from completing successfully. To access the install log, you need to launch the Console app from the Applications > Utilities folder, or use Spotlight to search for it. Then, in the Console app, choose Install Log from the Log Reports section in the sidebar. You will see a list of install log files, each with a date and time stamp. You can select the most recent one or the one that corresponds to the installation you are having trouble with. The install log file will show you the details of the installation, such as the source, destination, package name, version, size, and status. It will also show you any errors or warnings that occurred during the installation, such as permission issues, network issues, or corrupted files. You can use the information in the install log to identify the cause of the installation failure and take appropriate actions to resolve it.

Explanation: Activation Lock is a feature that prevents unauthorized use of an Apple device after it has been erased. It is enabled automatically when a user turns on Find My on their device. However, for devices that are owned or managed by an organization, there are two types of Activation Lock available: device-linked and user-linked. Device-linked Activation Lock requires Apple School Manager, Apple Business Manager, or Apple Business Essentials and an MDM solution. It allows the MDM solution to control turning Activation Lock on and off through server-side interactions, without depending on the user's Apple ID or Find My settings. The MDM solution creates and sends a bypass code to Apple servers when it needs to lock or unlock the device. User-linked Activation Lock requires the user to have a personal Apple ID (not a Managed Apple ID) and to turn on Find My on their device. This method allows the user to lock an organization-linked device to their personal Apple ID if the MDM solution has allowed Activation Lock. The MDM solution should request and store a bypass code from the device before allowing the user to turn on Activation Lock. This bypass code can be used to turn off Activation Lock remotely with MDM, or directly on the device, if the user is unable to authenticate with their Apple ID.

Correct Answer: CE

Explanation: These are the correct answers because these are the two authentication methods that users can use to lock a note in the Notes app on their iPad devices. Users can choose to use their device passcode or a custom password for each Notes account. If they use their device passcode, they can also use Face ID or Touch ID to access their locked notes. If they use a custom password, they have to enter it on all devices where they are signed in with the same Apple ID. Users can also switch between the two methods in the Settings app. To lock or unlock a note, users have to tap the three-dotted More button and choose the Lock option, or tap the Lock icon in the top toolbar.
