Re: iMac problem

[Rosemary Spark]

Hi there,
I thought I explained that I  did already boot to Recovery and re-installed
high sierra but it made no difference.

Yeah...the lack of backup is going to be ...difficult.
My husband’s uncle didn’t consider it at all.

Lesson learned I hope

Rosemary

Re: iMac problem

[Ronda Brown]

Hello Rosemary,

Did you actually get through with Command + R? 
You can do a recovery which basically reinstalls OS X but keeps your files in 
tact.
 It's kind of like Windows system restore.

If that fails and ‘NOT having a backup’ … could be a hard lesson learnt!

Cheers,
Ronni

iMac problem

[Rosemary Spark]

My husband’s 82 year old has a almost 2 year old iMac, early 2016, running
High Sierra ...don.t know which version at this point. It decided not to
turn on properly the other day. It gets stuck loading with the bar almost
complete, but never starts.
So far
Re-started a number of times...same result.
Re-set SMC (according to advice I found just unplugging , leaving and
re-starting does that on this computer.
Booted to recovery
Repair disc...no problems I could see
Tried to make disk image but no go ( He has no backup!)
Re-loaded software

Re-started in safe verbose mode
Got stuck on line after line

 "Process[1xx] crashed: opendirectoryd. Too many corpses being created"

At this point I don.t know what else to try.

Any suggestions
Rosemary Spark
