Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
After having permission problems I tried to run EntreCheckPro.
According to progress bar, it gets about a third of the way through and then computer crashes.
Tried it three times with same result.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13
Hi!
Could you share the crash report, please?:
You can share it here using the 'Additional Text' feature on the Support Community.
You can also try following these steps to prevent apps from quitting unexpectedly: If an app freezes or quits unexpectedly on Mac - Apple Support.
OK, TM is an easy way... there are 2 similar ways to do it, Startup Assistant & Migration Assidtant, bith identical except best to use the first one on initial boot, as MA requires a User account running to use & will Migrate everything to a new account.

Blue was off. Can't even remember the last time I had it on.
I was able to get EntreCheck to run once. Removed a couple of orphan fragments left over from iMazing and TinkerTool.
Restarted and EntreCheck crashes computer every time since.
Never have been able to get Recovery to load, that is why I reinstalled the OS from a USB Drive.
John, from EtreCheck suggested I run it from the Safe Mode and send him the generated report.
Suggests I consider replacement of machine, which is inevitable. I just don't have the time right now. Very busy on the "Farm" until late in the year.
Trying to get by using my iPad as much as possible for the time being.
Is this what you are speaking of?
I would if I could figure out how to do that.
This is a mid year 2010 Macbook Pro which has given me almost no problems so I have no idea
where to look.
Sorry.
Yep! Perfect :) Try disabling Bluetooth in System Preferences and running EtreCheck again
Start up from macOS Recovery
Option-⌘-R
In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.
Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.
John will likely have some solid advice.
So, can you direct me to a site that will help me make a quick and painless migration?
Emphasis on …well…both actually. :^)
Do you mean to a new Mac?
Do you have Time Machine Backup?
Probably a refurbished. I back up with Time Machine occasionally. Latest was about five days ago.
Want to add, there is not a whole bunch on current machine. Maybe a couple hundred megs
