It is on a flash drive which has changed its name to Install macOS Mojave. I have successfully created a bootable Mojave installer. While retaining Catalina on the iMac, I want to install Mojave on the WD so that I can use software which is not Catalina-compatible. I use the G-Drive in conjunction with Time Machine so everything on the iMac is safely backed up. ![]() and two external hard drives: a G-Drive mobile and a WD My Book. Installing Mojave on an external drive I have: an iMac running Catalina 10.15.2. Does anyone have any tips for getting past the progress bar to the login screen or accessing my computer in Target Disk Mode? Thanks! If there’s a file recovery program that will let me access the files on my hard drive and display the files using the same folder structure as on my computer, that would be great. I booted up in Internet Recovery Mode and it allowed me to choose Yosemite, but when it asked me to pick a drive to install Yosemite on, there were no drives listed as options.īasically I just want to recover some files before reformatting. Since a Thunderbolt cable is necessary if one of the Macs is running Big Sur, I tried to see if I could install an older OS so that I could use my Firewire cable. I also read that 2009 MacBooks don’t have a Thunderbolt port but that the shape of the Thunderbolt port is the same as the Mini DisplayPort, so I was wondering if my 2015 Mac will show up as an external drive on my 2009 Mac if I use a Thunderbolt cable, and would I need a Thunderbolt to Mini DisplayPort adapter or is just the Thunderbolt sufficient?

My 2015 Mac wasn’t showing up on the desktop or the finder even though I have finder preferences set to show external devices. I also have a 2009 MacBook Pro so I booted my 2015 Mac in Target Disk Mode and connected it to my 2009 Mac. I don’t want to try reformatting the drive just yet because there are some files that I want to recover (I’ve never used Time Machine before, but I will from now on). I also tried to reinstall Big Sir but it wouldn’t complete the installation and eventually went back to the progress bar and was stuck for hours. I restarted in Recovery Mode and ran first aid on the hard drive but it didn’t find any errors. I reset the NVRAM and that didn’t do anything either. I tried booting in Safe Mode but it didn’t work and was still stuck on the progress bar. I restarted it and the same thing happened. I have a 2015 MacBook Pro and it’s stuck on the Apple logo with the progress bar. ![]()
