Why is my MacBook Pro showing a flashing file and question mark symbol on startup?
I bought my MacBook Pro in 2013. It now turns on with a symbol of a flashing file and question mark in the centre. I have tried holding off button down and re-start with On button and immediately simultaneously hold down the Command and R keys for recovery.
This results in 2 variations:
1- the same flashing file and question mark symbol
2- a spinning globe with “Choose a Connection” up and down arrows with a Wi-fi symbol box. However, when attempting to choose the network, the cursor moves fine but when clicking on arrows or Wi-fi symbol- nothing happens/it does not respond.
Any comments on what is happening and any suggestions how to fix it would be helpful.
