Jan 15, 2016 3:34 PM in response to lllaassby Brettfromrokeby,★HelpfulCan't remember the name but I last updated early last year I think so it is roughly a year old. It is not the very latest but the one before. Wouldn't boot to target did mode either however the instructions I found mentioned holding a button until the spinning wheel shows up however mine never shows up but the apple logo and a line that gets shorter as it gets closer to rebooting. When the line runs out it just always goes straight to Migration Assistant and is crashed. It won't allow a Command Option esc either.

Jan 15, 2016 3:30 PM in response to lllaassby Brettfromrokeby,Yes however I can't choose anything. The Mouse hovers over things but pressing or tapping the trackpad on the computer does not do anything. I can't click on any of the option such as File Edit and the tab key just highlights the whole OS X Utilities box but not on separate options. I do have an issue with the trackpad on the MacBook where the press doesn't work but the tap usually does. Multi Gesture works as well. Is there anyway to do a factory reset or something that doesn't kill my hard-drive. Essentially all I want from this computer is about 300Gig of photo's and videos.
