zero? I only knew how to do the fsck thing after looking online. I'd love to reinstall the OS, and I'm thinking maybe there's a way to do that in single user mode, but my knowledge of UNIX is. WTF? Ok, now I shut down and try regular command + R and get. 3 minutes later that finishes loading aaaand A+pb&H. A+pb&H.Ĥ I discover I can do the command-option-R and get into Internet Recovery (I'm really excited here b/c I'm thinking, if only I could reinstall Mac OS X I can get to the UI without losing much if anything.) A miniature globe shows up, plus a progress bar. 30 minutes later it tells me the hardware seems fine. Run hardware diagnostic extended test as recommended. I discover I can get into Diagnostics (hold D on startup). (I have since disconnected that external drive when the iMac was powered down, in hopes that I can use it to restore once I get to the UI and that I don't somehow corrupt it while forcing shutdowns and rebooting a couple dozen times.)ģ.

I reboot, hold option and then select the external drive that I use for Time Machine backups, thinking that maybe the iMac has somehow decided that's where all the startup programs are found. I pick "Macintosh HD" (which is the only startup drive I've ever used) and A+pb&H. I discover I can hold "option" and get the choose your startup disk screen. Apple + progress bar and hangs (for brevity, A+pb&H).Ģ. I run /sbin/fsck -fy and it tells me the volume "macintosh HD" is fine.

I discover I can get into single user mode. More research and I start to find some things that *do* work.ġ. Usually around 50% or even 80% (extra frustrating as I cajole it to just keeeep gooooing). The Apple logo and progress bar appear and it hangs. Nor does holding down shift to get to Safe Mode. Ok, do some research and start using the keyboard options on start up. Apparently it gets far enough into the reboot process to do that, just not get me to the UI. The weird thing is that it still works as a WiFi hotspot, though. On restart, I get the Apple logo and progress bar and it hangs. Couldn't force quit anything and had to force it to power down. Late 2013 iMac, Fusion drive, suddenly froze up last week.
