I have a 2014 Macbook Pro 13" Retina that I have installed the new Big Sur OS, I did make sure there was enough space to install beforehand which there was.
I now have a mac that is powered up (apple logo on lid is lit up) but the screen is black and I have no idea what to do?
I don't know of it is still installing the OS or if its locked or something else. I set off the install and just left the laptop to do it's thing
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The solution I have found is to hold down Option when restarting. This will came up with available hard drives and "Big Sur" (The bootable partition that has been created for the upgrade). Select your main hard drive and it should boot up normally. Not that this only worked with my Apple keyboard - my third party keyboard wasn't recognised by OSX until later.
Hopefully this works for you.
So what? Would you make the equal excuse for Microsoft when it bricks your PC when upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10?
i would but HOW? My MacBook is dead! Black Screen, Shift and all combinations don’t work.
Apples strategy to make us by their new Chip?
