Hi all,
I posted a saga in November about installing Mojave in my Mac Pro 5,1 mid 2010 with a Radeon RX 580 8 GB.
Thanks to the excellent help from Tsialex and others on this forum I finally got it all to run smoothly - which involved a clean install.
This morning the App Store had a system update and after downloading it and restarting the screen went black. I waited almost an hour and eventually powered off.
I Tried to boot in safe mode but no luck. Removing all drives (except my time machine drive) and booting from a USB key with a bootable Mojave system works, but the usb system can not see my time machine internal drive.
I tried to copy the time machine drive onto another usb external drive (using my laptop), in case it could be a formatting issue. The Time Machine drive mounts perfectly on my high Sierra laptop and shows no errors. However copying it to another drive failed constantly because of permission issues, even though read and write for all is enabled.
What should I do? I would have the option of doing another clean Mojave install and then try to resurrect my system using my time machine drive (assuming it will mount) and migration support.
If that won’t work, Just the idea of having to reinstall all my applications and authorisations once again makes me cringe. It will make me lose work.
Is there something seriously wrong with Mojave? In many, many years of using macs I never had problems like these.
Can someone kindly help?
