I accepted to restart for ‘safety updates’ yesterday, however fairly certain OSX then tried to put in Catalina! (I used to be on Excessive Sierra earlier than).
My mac restarted however the set up stored hanging at ‘Estimating Time Remaining…’ (I attempted restarting a number of occasions, then additionally leaving in a single day with no avail). It appeared different individuals had this concern, however that there was no clear method to resolve…I attempted to restart in secure mode, however that failed too.
Therefore I restarted in restoration mode, then erased Waterproof coat HD (simply the OS container) and put in Excessive Sierra once more on this drive.
This labored, which I used to be relieved about, as my final time machine was a number of months in the past.
Nevertheless, I now have zero of my apps/recordsdata linked and it will be a nightmare to need to do every thing once more now… I additionally misplaced a load of content material from my chic (I assume it normally caches these, however I can not seem to discover the cached recordsdata anyplace)… I can also’t add to my present time machine backup, the brand new set up is separate.
Is there a method to restore the set up I had earlier than OSX determined to wreck my setup? I had a number of customized apps and issues setup, which is able to take ages to do once more… Or failing that, how would I’m going about linking all my apps and recordsdata to this new set up? Thanks.
