Recovery every time triangle exclamation. 2018 Mac to shredder?
Recovery repeatedlyends angle exclamation point dozens if times trying every way .
Long 4-5 mo. history. Upgraded Mojave to Monterey five mos ago resulting no internet. Tried EVERYTHING- pls don't suggest any of the known ways to set up internet- I've tried all of them dozens of times. Every other device here connecting normally, TV's, this PBP, phones, etc. Tried 2 other older routers all same.
Erased startup drive. Used Apple built bootable installers USB Ventura, Monterey, Catalina, Mojave. Starting every way all go to Recovery (which did connect internet) ending in triangle exclamation point with NO opportunity whatever to proceed to anything. All startup key combos incl finally old startup holding C down- same.
I'm really tired of this and next step will be Mac Mini to shredder.
Extremely unhappy about this- been exclusive Mac user and administrator in my 6-Macs newspaper business since 1978.
Is there another way to force it to startup from the bootable installer drive?
Can we prevent it from starting Recovery?
Final solution will be Mac Mini to shredder. The Apple upgrade to Monterey has destroyed it.
Mac mini, macOS 12.6
