Well it had to happen didn’t it with my luck with the hard drive on my iMac.
The computer had slept the night before and I had woken up not very well so didn’t go to the computer in the morning. Though I was off work sick, I did need to start a Zoom meeting for an external consultant, but when I went to the computer pressing the space bar didn’t wake the computer.
I pressed the power button, counted to ten and pressed the power button again.
In the meantime I started Zoom on the iPad so I could do that before focusing on the iMac.
I was slightly annoyed that the iMac was now stuck on the Apple logo and progress bar.
Hmmm
Quick Google search, said to start in safe mode and identify the issue.
So turned the iMac off and attempted to restart it in Safe Mode.
Well that didn’t work.
So then tried Recovery Mode to repair the disk using Disk Utility. This did launch successfully, which was slightly reassuring that maybe it wasn’t a physical problem with the disk, but a software issue with the disk.
I ran Disk Utility, that indicated a few errors, so decided to reinstall Mac OS on the drive. I started this and left it to it.
