2019 iMac not booting
Recently, I was using my iMac, then I accidentally unplugged it after dropping something. After that, the iMac would refuse to boot whatsoever, staying stuck on the apple logo. I tried whatever I could in recovery, such as reinstalling MacOS on top of my data (which is safe when I checked in the terminal), first aid on the drive, try to make a bootable drive, and trying to boot using safe mode. Whatever I did, nothing worked, and doing verbose mode using Command+V wouldn’t work, and target disk mode wouldn’t work as well with my M1 MacBook Air, since it wouldn’t even start in target disk mode, it would just stop loading. Eventually, i used nvram boot-logs”-v” to enable verbose mode in the terminal, and it worked, showing all the logs, this is what I summed it down to.
AppleKeyStore: operation failed (sel: 7)
unexpected session uid: 0 requested by: AirPlayXPCHelper
AirPlayXPCHelper (163)
and, as memory can serve, something about disk1s1 (aka my disk) not being able to be read.
Please help me. Thank you.
