A prohibitory symbol, which looks like a circle with a line or slash through it
I have a Mac 27 2015 which up to few days ago ran perfectly and fast and never had a problem (it is an upgraded model not a basic one)
last day I worked on it normally in the morning and then went to do my stuff around. At a certain moment I glanced at it and saw it was rebooting, thought it was an update which apple recommend to keep automatically on for security updates so be it.
well from that time my mac won't start and it appears A prohibitory symbol, which looks like a circle with a line or slash through it, and an url with Apple support.
I searched on apple and there is an article from Feb 2 2024 which says "A prohibitory symbol, which looks like a circle with a line or slash through it, means that your startup disk contains a Mac operating system, but it's not a version or build of macos that your Mac can use" so why did they sent to my computer???!!!!
I followed apple instructions online, try the chat, called by phone and they have not helped so they expect to bring for service.
anyone had same problem ?
I find amazing that now I have to pay for service for a product that was working perfectly and broke because the manufacturer sent something to it that maybe was not compatible with it ( I have Monterey OS) !!!! ps it did make all other updates over the years with no problem
