I’ve transferred all my data and documents to the new computer and yesterday I had to make a security change (apple, preferences, security) so that I could get both thunderbolt ports working as they were not being recognized. I followed the advice online, shut the computer down using shift, control, option and power at the same time, and now all I get is a loading bar on the screen. I let it go for an hour last night to no avail, and this morning, the same thing. I’m at a loss what to do. I’ve included a picture.
Any help or guidance is appreciated.
I have to laugh as the drives name doesn’t matter ;-} The OS installer doesn’t care and neither does the OS or Apps. I really don’t understand why the support person wasted time on that. But re-installing the OS should fix things, if not he may need to scratch the drive and then re-install.
Hey Dan,I came to the same conclusion and will switch out the connector cable here in a minute. Looks like the faulty connector took the lovely OWC 480 SSD drive down with it, it does not even register anymore when I connect it to other macs via USB. That is annoying, because they are expensive SSDs. Anyways I will let you know after the switch. Fortunately I still have a stack of 2011 A1286, since so many bring them to me with the infamous faulty GPU…..Often I replace the logic board in those with 2010 boards, and that restores function. But I still have some empty cases with parts…As usual, humble bow into your general direction, keep on rockin’….
