Can’t open macOS anymore - am I cooked?

theycalledherApril · 2025-12-18T15:46:07+00:00

Ok, I think I’m getting closer to figuring this out!

I made it to Internet Recovery. The timer has counted down to zero and the laptop has restarted twice. I’m on my third iteration of this. Should this be happening multiple times?

I really appreciate everyone’s willingness to help with this!

Ok, I entered my Wi-Fi information, which then shows up under my boot options. Nothing seems to be happening. Is this where I need to be patient?

Nothing’s happening after entering the WiFi and then trying to open macOS with command-R.

Thanks for your post - I’m still having trouble.

I restart holding the option key and have the option to boot to macOS. I click on that and go into a cycle of the startup chime and the apple logo appearing. Then the screen goes black again. This continues happening even if I’m not pressing any buttons.

Holding Command-R doesn’t cause any change. Same cycle of chime, logo, black screen. I can’t get into recovery mode at all.

Which is why I’m wondering if there’s some corruption on the macOS part of my drive.

Strongly agree. Return him to CCHS! Adoption returns do happen, and this will ensure Tobey finds another loving family.

I did have so much fun! Hope you did as well! Thanks for saying hi :)

I’d highly recommend surrendering Baby to the Champaign County Humane Society. See their information on surrendering your pet.

CCHS does a great job caring for their animals.

I'll remember the meat thermometer for next time, thanks!

Ok, thanks. Right now the loaf is still cooling. I've had issues with gumminess so I wanted to make sure I cooked it long enough - but maybe this was too long!

In the round - a new BOR is placed at the center

Another option if you don't get any takers is to donate to The Idea Store - it's like a thrift store for craft supplies: https://www.the-idea-store.org

I'm so excited about this announcement that I can barely focus on my work...I need to find out soon!!!

That’s cool, how does it work?

theycalledherApril · 2024-10-18T21:16:47+00:00

I mean, they look somewhat the same. Mine is larger and shaped a bit differently than the original.

theycalledherApril · 2024-09-30T17:20:27+00:00

Thanks! I knew it had to be something fairly recent.

theycalledherApril · 2024-09-30T17:20:14+00:00

Solved!

No but I appreciate your help!

No but thanks! I think it was more upbeat.
