Ultimately

It was right, it does not know a thing about you.
And whatever kept you for so long, and you are "much specially complicated"
Clearly that will also, kept me all the same.


And you

On a goddamn parole
And sympathies.

Pardon the slowness. You were just lucky to be, Goliath.

Try to run a diagnostic boot by pressing and holding D until the Apple logo appears.

You can press command-R to boot into your recovery partition and attempt to further troubleshoot your issue. Try to run First Aid and alternatively reinstall macOS.

If you try any of these with no success please report back and let us know what you’re running into when it fails.

I tried both and it just keeps on loading until the bar is full and it just doesn’t make it to the start page. My laptop’s battery was giving me a notification it needs to be replaced so I guess it has something to do with that(?)

I highly doubt that it has something to do with your battery failing. Did you reinstall macOS? Or just run diagnostics and First Aid?

Edit: I just noticed you did perform a reinstall. There is a chance that this is hardware related, but if it is Apple will need to run one of the AST diagnostic suites in-store to find out.

It may seem like a lot of garbage, but would you mind running a Verbose boot using Command-V to see what it’s getting hung on?

Boot in verbose mode by holding down CMD-V while booting. You should then be able to see where it hangs up.

Try rebooting with Command+shift+P+R keys all pressed. This will clear all your RAM and anything that’s stuck running.

Be prepared to answer the questions on where you want to IOS to book from. You will have several choice. If you are NOT sure, just back up which will force the OS to book from it’s last known state.

We have a Mid-2012 Macbook and it was very very sluggish till I upgraded to 10 gig of RAM and a SSD drive. The SSD drive is what saved the machine. Not sure if you have that option for a Mac Mini.

Good luck.

It should resume updating from where it got stuck. If that doesn’t work, power ...

Thanks for the A2A.

Hold down the power button until your iMac shuts down. Then press it again to reboot it. Wait a few minutes to see if it reboots. If it does, check for updates again.

If it does not reboot properly, restart it again but this time hold down COMMAND-R while it restarts to boot into the Recovery Volume. From there you can reinstall Mac OS X.

So looks like I am finally getting somewhere and I'm assuming the hard drive is screwed and needs replacing...(?)

Just to update, I still have the Apple logo with full progress bar on the monitor screen via HDMI and several hours have now passed so it clearly won't progress past this point. –

Boot into Verbose Mode (Cmd-V while booting). This will give you all the boot messages so you can see where it hangs. Also try booting into Internet Recovery (Opt-Cmd-R). If you can’t boot there, there’s an issue with your hardware. –

@Allan Excellent, please see my edit above, I have managed to get up macOS Utilities from booting up holding CMD + R - please let me know what I should now do with the options this presents? –

See further update above - can't reinstall macOS as the disk has SMART errors - I am assuming now, at this stage, there is nothing I can do other than have the hard drive replaced? –

That is correct. Even if you were able to get the OS to install, it’s on a drive that’s failing so its going to crash in the near future. You’ve got to replace the drive. The good news is, you can replace the mini’s hard disk with an SSD and boost it’s performance significantly. –

Already got it booked in somewhere for a new SSD to be fitted replacing the current disk. Thanks for all your help @Allan - happy to mark as accepted answer if you wanted to add one. –

but to a fag who doesn't know anything about cars or how they work, having a car they can't fix themselves means nothing.

me? if you have a car from 1930-2010, and it was running yesterday, and it SHOULD be running today, i can mostly likely get your car running (maybe not totally fixed, but at least get you moving) in about 30 minutes. there's literally only like 4 things it could be.

but modern cars? fuck me lmao tow that shit.

I was reminded of one of my favorite bits of secret history a few minutes ago, want somebody on a chat group I want to use the phrase "Systolic array work".

That phrase took me back nearly 50 years, to reading a paper in the Communications of the ACM that was one of the first liftings of the veil about computing in military radar.

Systolic arrays were first developed for radar signal processing because at the time general purpose computing silicon simply wasn't fast enough to do the mission. Which was a key Cold War technology for, like, intercepting Soviet bombers coming over the pole, so there was a whole bunch of dark Pentagon money going into the development.

This is also what was behind the relatively brief push for gallium arsenide logic. Which was a good idea on paper but the stuff turned out to be so horribly toxic to work with that it wasn't practical.

Decades later that same technology from Cold War military radar became modern graphics cards. Which begat AI hardware.

Along the same lines, acoustic modems were originally invented for communication between SAGE/BOMARC sites. Early Cold-War-era missile defense.

full bright directed, it doesn't show in fakelight (maybe no colormods do?)
usually use directed when setting up maps... and deciding what the lighting color is to be etc.

Do NOT listen to other people here. You can use Catalina for next 5 years without any issues. Hell, you can even use High Sierra. But if you need OS far basic stuff like browsing and iWork, even OS X Lion still works just fine thanks to Chromium Legacy. For average users Catalina is going to work more than just fine.
