Mac Mini 2014 Time Machine Freezing
I made a Time Machine backup before upgrading to Monterey, immediately knew it was a mistake as I couldn’t even use the browser without beach balls so last night I started the process of going back to my saved Time Machine backup.
it froze midway through, sat at the halfway mark for 8 hours and eventually I pulled the plug this morning after it sitting all night and making no progress - now I can’t load it at all, it won’t boot the loading bar gets to about 50% and stops so I can’t use the computer at all now.
tried going to the Time Machine backup it stops loading halfway, I’ve used disk utility to check for errors nothing, everything seems fine.
I tried to roll back to the most recent snapshot it says which is successful then won’t load and sits around 50% also tried loading a new copy of Monterey so at least I can use the computer in some capacity and nothing it doesn’t download just stops responding and I can’t seem to force it to load into safe mode either, this seems pretty bad.
any ideas please? I’d appreciate any help.
Mac mini, macOS 12.4
