Update popped up, so I did. It's been a while. Got a message afterwards it could not update this computer. Now, every time I start up the computer it tries to update. I will not get out of this loop. I just want the old system back. It was fine before I clicked update. I believe it is OSX 10.13.6. Its a intel mac Pro.
I tried hold "D" down for dianostics with no luck.
Can someone help? Thank you
Mac Pro, macOS 10.13
It’s unclear to me what is (or was) trying to update, as the last update for macOS 10.13 was shipped just over four years ago; in 2020.
I’d try a safe mode boot: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support
If you don’t have current and complete backups and do get this rebooted, I’d get a backup, like, right now.
Okay, MisterMarco, i’ll try… 1, resetSMC: press power button to shut mac pro down, unplug power cord/cable from back/rear of Mac pro… leave it unplugged for 10 mins or so… plug power cord/cable back into Mac pro… press power button to start up, Immediately hold down Apple+ Option+p+R keys together for 3-4 chimes/bongs then let go of all keys after #4.. let computer start up as per usual.. otherwise try safe mode, reboot, holding down “shift” key until you see “safe mode” on monitor/screen.., or restarting from Recovery partition: reboot, hold down Apple+R together until you see language screen pick one, continue, to access mac os X tools, move arrow to top center of screen and click..
that’s all i have for you for now
