When I start my iMac 17,1 a question mark is at the end of the log in screen. I enter my password and no problem or is it?
IMAC (RETINA 5K, 27-INCH, LATE 2015), macOS High Sierra (10.13.3), 32GB
Thank you. There is only one startup disk and I checked to make sure in the preferences by choosing it again. Upon a shut down and subsequent restart the "?" mark is still at the end of the log in box. I clicked on it and it gave me the hint if I had forgotten the password. Is this a new feature of High Sierra?
You're welcome. At first I misunderstood your question thinking you were getting the blinking question mark at startup, but after your second post I understood. I've actually never noticed it as I leave my iMac logged in and just put it to sleep when I'm away from it. 99% of my posts come from my iPad so I'm going to have to check my mac with Sierra to see if it's there too.
Like you I keep my iMac going and let it sleep, but there are times when I just click the shut down (old habits). I know I could be clearer and should put more time to explain what I'm trying to say. Thank you again, I am relieved I really thought the latest security update was going to kill this iMac as it did to my 2011 12,2.
Make sure that your hard disk is selected in the startup disk preference pane About the screens you see when your Mac starts up - Apple Support
Thank you, my friend, that is what it is!
