I still wanted to back up my all data from i mac tho. Any suggestion please !!
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6)
Hi,
Check the startup disk to see if it needs repairing using OS X Recovery.
Startup up your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to verify and repair the disk if necessary and restore OS X THEN try upgrading to El Capitan.
Can you boot to Recovery?
About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
- If so you can copy files to an external drive via Terminal in Recovery
Copying Files to External Hard Drive via Terminal?
or you can install OSX on an external drive and then boot to that install and try copying files via FInder
its for my ipod 5th
Thank you all. I already dis repair. It does not work.
So if i hold down Command + R keys while restarting, it will get me back to latest install version. Am I going to lose data?
Maybe, it depends upon the cause of the problem. That is why I suggested a way to recover data if the date is recoverable.
Yes?
Is it recoverable?
The disk titled Macintosh HD is your startup drive. Whether or not you can get data frrom the drive depends on the problem.
OK 🙂 I am so naive. How do i know if i still have the chance to recover or not.
You try to recover the data. If you can't then you can
Try a disk recovery app:
