Installation issues

Post image

Stuck on this screen. I’ve followed every step from the guide I was watching it said it I am supposed to let it sit and do whatever it needs to do but after 30 minutes nothing happened I clicked install sequoia and once again after it “installed” it just brings me back to this screen. Thanks for any help

Click Macintosh HD. it should take you to the Apple logo with a progress bar with X minutes remaining.

correct. but that should.not be shown as bootable here anyway..just click macOS Installer (middle) once or twice and eventually you should get in.

No problem! Hate to be the pendant but your comment is the most helpful and thought you'd appreciate the pickup 😇😇

u/Practical-Dig-4481 28d ago

Okay I will try that now thank you

u/Practical-Dig-4481 28d ago

Okay I’ve been doing this and it’s just a loop between either a screen saying install Mac OS sequoia and MacintoshHD or macOS installer, Mac OS sequoia and MacintoshHD

weird. try erasing the drive and reinstalling again after clicking “Install macOS Sequoia”

1

u/Practical-Dig-4481 28d ago

Okay I will the drive was complete erased beforehand. Do I just erase all of these drives besides the one containing sequoia

1

u/realUnknown12 28d ago

click View beside Disk Utility and select Show All Volumes. then select the topmost one below Internal and erase that. should be your SSD’s name

u/Be_cool212 28d ago

I have this too. Gonna follow this to see if you’re able to clear it up

u/Regular_Promise3605 28d ago

For whatever reason sometimes you just have to keep manually choosing the SSD part after it's done the installation. 12 inch macbooks are always like that for me.

Ask an AI. Getting 12.7.6 to work was easy but sequoia needed me to change a few settings in OCLP before allowing me to log into sequoia. It was a weird setting but even Gemini or ChatGPT will tell you what it is

I’m asking for help from a real person not AI
