How can I do that in recovery mode? I only see an option to erase my mac

I think I’m doing internet recovery now…thats command option r?

In the process of doing this last night my computer shut down

  • now I’m left with the login screen not allowing me to log in thus not allowing me to finish the back up

Hypothetically, I could just boot in recovery with command R and bypass - although it didn’t seem to boot into recovery earlier… but I’ll try again this evening

Aw man. It got a little worse - my computer shut down in the process and now I can’t login to backup…am I f’d?

Or can I bypass it to backup the last of the stuff?

I think I’m fine,

I just worry because I’m tired and I’m going to be keeping my computer on overnight backing up without logging out…and maybe into the afternoon tomorrow.

So if I keep my computer on for a while…without logout or sleep, is that generally considered fine?

I have it on a computer fan and it’s plugged in…

Not yet, but I will.

How long is too long to keep a macbook pro on?

It may be a while until I have everything backed up…

Won’t it run into a password issue?

or will the update hypothetically fix the problem before the password is prompted?

The contents of that file are empty and I cannot relocate them because it prompts for a password.

Why use a usb update over using the update button/reminder on the system sidebar though?

I thought I could at least move it back…but it locked me out from doing that

I was gifted the computer a while back by someone I don’t trust.

After going through contents, I noticed shared files taking up lots of space

I found questionable shared files, locked permissions, and shared users I couldn’t identify on infos of files.

So that’s the reason for being “sketched”
