- I needed a notebook until I can buy a new one, so my grandmother gave me her macbook pro in the meantime. It is really old (2011 I think) but it works just fine, the problem is the OS. Because it is running mac OS X (10.6.8) I can't install most of the programs that I need, and I can't update it either.
- Guest OS family: Mac OS. Guest OS version: Apple Mac OS X 10.10 (64-bit). Select the latest available version in the drop-down menu. Mac OS as a guest OS family, and Apple Mac OS X as a guest OS version are available after applying the unlocker patch. Click Next to continue. Select the datastore in which you want to store the VM.
- Sometimes, the Mac stuck on the progress bar because the startup disk is corrupted. Fortunately, you can use First Aid, a built-in disk repair tool on your Mac, to fix the errors on the startup disk that cause the Mac stuck on the Apple logo with a loading bar. Firstly, boot your Mac into macOS Recovery mode: Press and hold the Command + R keys.

This problem is relatively common when attaching third-party keyboards (even Apple’s smart keyboard) following an iOS / iPadOS update. IPad Black Screen with Smart Keyboard after iPadOS update.

Hello,
The issue I'm having is the following:
First my set-up when it was working just fine 30 mins ago.
MacBook Pro 15'
Bought in 2011
Originally with Lion 10.7, upgrade through AppStore to 10.8 currently on 10.8.4
Filevault enabled in Security, so my drive is encrypted
Activated guest account with safari access only
What happened is that I was using the machine just fine, I logged off and gave another user access though the guest account. The dialog came up said that it needed to restart the machine so that it would present a safari only interface. Clicked OK and this is where I am at.
The machine rebooted into the recovery mode (Mac OS X Utilities) and I have tried everything, and I cannot get back to my normal login screen
I've tried to go into safe mode I still get the recovery mode.
I've tried to reset the PRAM, it asks me for my filevault password I give it and I still get the recovery mode
I've tried single-user mode and I still get the recovery mode.
Any suggestion would be welcome.
Thanks in advance for any info.

To get the latest features and maintain the security, stability, compatibility, and performance of your Mac, it's important to keep your software up to date. Apple recommends that you always use the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac.
Learn how to upgrade to macOS Big Sur, the latest version of macOS.
Check compatibility
If a macOS installer can't be used on your Mac, the installer will let you know. For example, it might say that it's too old to be opened on this version of macOS, or that your Mac doesn't have enough free storage space for the installation.
To confirm compatibility before downloading, check the minimum requirements for macOS Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, or Yosemite. You can also find compatibility information on the product-ID page for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, MacBook, iMac, Mac mini, or Mac Pro.
Make a backup
Before installing, it’s a good idea to back up your Mac. Time Machine makes it simple, and other backup methods are also available. Learn how to back up your Mac.
Download macOS
It takes time to download and install macOS, so make sure that you're plugged into AC power and have a reliable internet connection.
Safari uses these links to find the old installers in the App Store. After downloading from the App Store, the installer opens automatically.
- macOS Catalina 10.15 can upgrade Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks
- macOS Mojave 10.14 can upgrade High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion
- macOS High Sierra 10.13 can upgrade Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion

Safari downloads the following older installers as a disk image named InstallOS.dmg or InstallMacOSX.dmg. Open the disk image, then open the .pkg installer inside the disk image. It installs an app named Install [Version Name]. Open that app from your Applications folder to begin installing the operating system.
- macOS Sierra 10.12 can upgrade El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion
- OS X El Capitan 10.11 can upgrade Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard
- OS X Yosemite 10.10can upgrade Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard
Install macOS
Follow the onscreen instructions in the installer. It might be easiest to begin installation in the evening so that it can complete overnight, if needed.

If the installer asks for permission to install a helper tool, enter the administrator name and password that you use to log in to your Mac, then click Add Helper.
Please allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart, show a progress bar, or show a blank screen several times as it installs macOS and related firmware updates.

You might also be able to use macOS Recovery to reinstall the macOS you're using now, upgrade to the latest compatible macOS, or install the macOS that came with your Mac.
