![]() Why does the macOS Recovery consistently fail? Don’t understand how to successfully use macOS Recovery. Have to say I'm pretty annoyed that reinstalling directly from TM backups is no longer possible, that just seems like a terrible decision. Next step is probably booking a genius bar appointment but thought I'd ask here first. I have a corporate/work MacBook but it's heavily locked down, I can't even open the app store and certainly don't have the ability to use Terminal or do anything needing admin perms, so redownloading anything is not really an option with no working MacBook. I don't frequently keep my bootable USB updated, it's meant to be there for critical failures like this, when I need it most, so having an expired certificate throw a spanner in the works is super annoying. Googling suggests that the 'damage' might actually be an expired certificate which, if that's true, seems pretty annoying. Same thing - installer damaged, please redownload. I have a bootable USB with a Mac OS Ventura installer so plugged that in, booted off it, erased my HD and went to install fresh from that. Gave me a message saying the installer was damaged and that I needed to redownload it. ![]() So I went to reinstall Mac OS from the recovery partition, nope. This seems utterly bonkers to me, the idea that I have a full system backup sitting locally but I can't do anything with it until after getting working Mac OS is ridiculous but hey ho, that seems to be the process now. I have a full, current backup via time machine so of course went to restore from that only to find that for some crazy reason you can no longer restore from backups directly from recovery, and now you have to have a working version of Mac OS on the machine first, then use migration assistant. I booted in recovery mode and tried repairing every drive/container/partition possible, all repaired successfully but it didn't solve the issue. It never booted and stayed on the logo forever. About a week ago I left it exporting a video I'd edited overnight and when I woke up in the morning it was stuck on the Apple logo as if booting up. I upgraded the OS to Ventura a few months back, it's been a bit flaky since. ![]() Hi all, hoping someone might be able to help without me needing to go into an Apple Store. ![]()
