Hello - I hope someone can help me. Sorry in advance for the long list and the long mess.
I have mac mini late 2014, with Mojave installed - V.10.14.6.
I'm gonna list what happened today:
Now I'm back here, asking for help, I don't know what's going on.
I'll leave my computer on sleep instead of shutting it down tonight.
I also really need to install the SSD for work, but I don't know what happened there.
Thanks
I have mac mini late 2014, with Mojave installed - V.10.14.6.
I'm gonna list what happened today:
- I got a Sandisk Portable SSD and I tried to install it.
- I went to Disk Utility, erased it, renamed it, and set it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) etc etc then turned off the mac.
- I turned it back on pressing Option to pick the SSD and install the OS, it kept reading it as "Windows" (??).
- I restarted with normal mode, went back to Disk Utility and everything seemed okay with the SSD.
- I turned the mac off again and it got stuck ( black screen with cursor ) - had to force restart.
- I went back to Disk Utility and tried to see if i could use first aid on my HD see if it something happened there AND it got stuck. ( rainbow loading kind of stuck ). Had to FORCE RESTART again.
- I restarted it 3 times and it kept doing this so I tried to get in on Safe Mode.
- Safe mode did its thing but when it loaded the whole bar it got stuck AGAIN - basically, Apple logo + white bar all loaded. Waited for 2 hrs. Nothing happened. Had to force restart once again.
Now I'm back here, asking for help, I don't know what's going on.
I'll leave my computer on sleep instead of shutting it down tonight.
I also really need to install the SSD for work, but I don't know what happened there.
Thanks
