Start up from macOS Recovery
Determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow the appropriate steps:
'excitement grew as the finish neared'; 'my horse was several lengths behind at the finish'; 'the winner is the team with the most points at the finish' The downfall of someone (as of persons on one side of a conflict) 'booze will be the finish of him'; 'it was a fight to the finish' Event whose occurrence ends something. In this video series, I hope to explain everything that you need to know about building a hackintosh. Throughout this series, I take you from the beginning s. Mortal Kombat (1992) Sound Clip.

Reinstall macOS
Select Reinstall macOS from the utilities window in macOS Recovery, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.
Follow these guidelines during installation:
- If the installer asks to unlock your disk, enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
- If the installer doesn't see your disk, or it says that it can't install on your computer or volume, you might need to erase your disk first.
- If the installer offers you the choice between installing on Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data, choose Macintosh HD.
- Allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart and show a progress bar several times, and the screen might be empty for minutes at a time.
After installation is complete, your Mac might restart to a setup assistant. If you're selling, trading in, or giving away your Mac, press Command-Q to quit the assistant without completing setup. Then click Shut Down. When the new owner starts up the Mac, they can use their own information to complete setup.
Other macOS installation options
Finish Him Mac Os Catalina
When you install macOS from Recovery, you get the current version of the most recently installed macOS, with some exceptions:
Mac Os Versions
- On an Intel-based Mac: If you use Shift-Option-Command-R during startup, you're offered the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available. If you use Option-Command-R during startup, in most cases you're offered the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac. Otherwise you're offered the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
- If the Mac logic board was just replaced, you may be offered only the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac. If you just erased your entire startup disk, you may be offered only the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
Finish Him Mac Os 11
You can also use these methods to install macOS, if the macOS is compatible with your Mac:
- Use the App Store to download and install the latest macOS.
- Use the App Store or a web browser to download and install an earlier macOS.
- Use a USB flash drive or other secondary volume to create a bootable installer.

I currently use a windows so I know nothing (or very little) about Macs.
From the start, a friend of mine gave me his old eMac the other day after having wiped it. It came with a copied version of the Mac OS X 10.4 (I think) and everytime I turn it on, it will either go to the installation of Mac OS X or it will go to a Grey and black screen with lots of code writing on it saying something about 'PowerMac4,4' and tells me to restart.
When I restart the eMac however, it carries on to the installation screen and lets me choose my language and agree to T&C's but when it asks me to select a 'destination volume to install the Mac OS X software', nothing is there. The Mac must read the installation CD however because it shows up on startup disk and on disk utility.
I've tried using disk utillity and when everytime I try 'verifying' the disk it says Error: No valid packages. It also says this when I try and verify the 38.2 GB Maxtor 4D040H2 and the 4.4 GB Pioneer DVD/CDRW DCR-111 that it shows along side the OS X install DVD.
Any help would be massively appreciated because I have no clue what to do with it! Sorry for the lack of any knowledge of Macs but I've literally just copied down what I've seen on the screen.
I just want to finish the installation of the Mac OS X and use the Mac but it just won't get past the destination volume part!
Hope you guys can help!
Thanks alot!
Daniel.
