![]() ![]() Solution: Finally I said goodbye to SMB and switched to FTP file protocol. There is also a application SMBUp which replaces Apple’s OS X native netbios and SMB services. I am using the built-in OS X SMB file service (SMB3) and the printer connects to OS X.Īnyway, there aren’t many articles on how to force OS X SMB server to use SMB1. ![]() However I don’t want to connect to a SMB Windows file server. It sets the default network protocol to the slower but more reliable SMB 1 protocol. echo "" > ~/Library/Preferences/nf echo "smb_neg=smb1_only" > ~/Library/Preferences/nf How can I switch back to SMB1 for the OS X El Capitan SMB file service? It's no longer possible to send files scanned PDF files to OS X. Like I said, not 100% sure that is the cause but it is something to keep in mind.I am using an Canon print workstation to send files to OS X. I made sure to set that after I reset the SMC and NVRAM. The system seemed to just always default to my internal hard disk drive, but never explicitly had that set. The only hint of something I noticed before doing this-that might help someone-is I had a bootable USB backup of my main system disk attached during the last failed attempt to upgrade and-this is important-it didn’t seem like I had an explicitly selected startup disk set. I then ran Onyx and cleaned all caches-“System” and “User”-before launching the “Install macOS High Sierra” installer.Ĭrossed my fingers, let it do what it had to do and lo and behold… Everything went as expected!.I disconnected all USB peripherals-including a simple/small unpowered USB hub-except for a direct connection between keyboard and mouse and the system.I reset the System Management Controller (SMC).Do diskutil umount force /Volumes/Macintosh HD/. Close Disk Utility and go to the command line terminal. Go to Disk Utility and mount your Mac volume. Sorry for the lack of specificity, but I finally was able to get macOS High Sierra (10.13) installed on my Mac mini (Late 2012 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5) with 16GB of memory and an internal disk that is a plain hard disk drive not an SSD. Boot to internet recovery or a USB drive with the High Sierra Installer (standard Sierra recovery mode won't do). now i am trying to reinstall the macos and it keeps saying installation failed and to try running the application again which I have done a couple times now. Why would this install fail this badly?įWIW, when I just rebooted into the macOS Sierra (10.12) external disk this is all I see on my main hard drive:įWIW, I have a MacBook Air (2013) running macOS 10.12 (Sierra) that is all SSD and has 4GB of RAM and you know what? Copied the installer over from my Mac Mini (2012), ran the installer, waited and everything is fine. hello everyone, i just got a 2015 macbook air passed down from my brother so i erased hos hard disk and created a new one in my name. ![]() My external disks are just basic external USB 3.0 drives. This is a stock Mac mini with upgraded RAM. Then the OS goes the multi language “Your machine has crashed, press space to restart.” Okay, I do that… And then it does the same thing again: Kernel panic-like messages over the standard Apple screen saying no OS found and then the “press space” message. ![]() I reboot and I get the black startup screen with the Apple logo, but then after a moment or so the typical command line messages that come up with a kernel panic pop up. I ran some errands and took a nap-this stuff takes time-and then when I check my system I see a message along the lines of “macOS cannot be installed on this system.” Strange. Once it downloaded, I double-clicked the installer and let it do what it usually does as I have done in the past while doing major OS updates. I downloaded macOS High Sierra (10.13) from the app store. Internal disk is a plain hard disk drive not an SSD. Subject says it all and here is what happened: I have Mac mini (Late 2012 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5) with 16GB of memory. So I am recovering from that and am not completely “panicked” about this… But this is baffling and annoying so sharing to help others if possible. Preface: I am now able to reboot from an external live backup I had of my previous macOS Sierra (10.12) install. ![]()
