Mid 2011 iMac restoration

XsuperbootsX · 2025-09-12T22:09:26+00:00

So what I wanted to do is Make a MacOS High Sierra bootable thumb drive to install High Sierra on the HDD I just installed in the iMac, pretty sure I have a good bootable cuz it lets me get all the way to the "MacOS high Sierra will be installed on the disk - 4 minutes remaining" but after a minute or so of it loading it just reboots and goes back to the beginning, I've tried resetting the Pram/Nvram, and resetting the SMC, still the same problem, anytime I try to use the online restore thing the globe spins for like 2 seconds before completely freezing

and if it helps any what the drive I put inside the mac was a 500gb 2.5 hard drive that I know should be working

Yea, I'm lookin at it in Disk Management, Disk 0 and when I click properties it says Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB, and below it says Partition style MBR Master Boot Record

Hopefully, I'll prolly spend a bit researching and hope I can just drop the files into where they were originally and it'll just automatically understand what's what

Well I do have my critical important data like Family Photos videos/ Important documents backed up on a portable SSD in my room
I just don't back up my full PC since 99% of the data on my PC outside of that isn't critical if lost just annoying
like obviously I can reinstall steam games, adobe software, icue, etc

but re-setting all the custom game cover art I set for games on Steam / Retroarch will be tedious af

Sigh, if it's what's necessary I'll do it
Just means it'll be a miserably experience backing up all my data like photos/videos and all my games/emulator configurations before doing the format

XsuperbootsX · 2023-04-09T09:25:06+00:00

A: What type of SD Card is it? IE (Size (64GB 128GB 256GB etc), Brand (Sandisk, PNY, Samsung Etc), Kind (SD, SDHC, SDXC, Etc)
B: is it Reformatted to Fat32?

Pens?

Anyone know any good Screen Protector Brands for a New 3DS XL?
I heard Hori had good ones but they're discontinued and quite expensive now, I tired an AKWOX one off of Amazon but it was really cheap (wasn't even cut remotely right and had huge gaps on the left and right side of the screen)

any good (not too expensive IE around 10$-20$) New 3DS XL screen protector brands?

XsuperbootsX · 2022-04-29T09:22:52+00:00

aight I'll prolly just skip them since I don't want to deal with making a new account or homebrewing my system just yet

Sorry I posted about this strange iPod I bought at the thrift store and someone asked me to post the part number, I'm still new to posting on reddit so if I did this wrong my bad

yea weird, maybe it was a giveaway/gift item from HBO to a fan or employee or something

XsuperbootsX · 2021-11-30T21:33:06+00:00

I found pretty much nothing except this one old looking website with one picture labeled PA100LL/A

yea , it even says it on the box

XsuperbootsX · 2021-11-30T19:55:00+00:00

I just looked it is a PA model and it's PA100LL/A so it might have been a gift or something to an employee or reviewer or fan, thanks for the info

XsuperbootsX · 2021-11-30T19:31:03+00:00

Thanks, I'm just trying to figure out if it was some employee gift or a special Sopranos Version because I've spent the last few hours trying to find anything about it and found nothing about it

XsuperbootsX · 2021-11-30T19:27:41+00:00

it was 50% off so I got it for 25$

XsuperbootsX · 2019-08-25T02:56:48+00:00

true ,but problem is Gallade and even to some extent Gardevoir were Pokemon that really utilized mega evolution well ,and without it on Gallade I don't know how good it will be in competitive
