One day after attempting to start it up again, instead of the typical boot, I was greeted with a blinking folder with a question mark. As of a month ago, my iMac worked just fine.

    Hi, I am experiencing an irritating problem with my Macbook Pro A1502. It works just fine on Sierra, but after I updated to Mojave the computer will not boot. It gets stuck at around 90% of progress bar under apple logo each time. It was the same problem with High sierra, but I gave up on it...

    Slow boot (black screen before Apple logo) after HFS+ to APFS conversion of external boot SSD USB-C

    Hello! :-) I have an iMac 5K 2017 3.4 GHz and was running High Sierra with an external SSD disk (WD My Passport SSD 512GB) as boot disk. The macOS High Sierra allowed me to skip the conversion from HFS+ to APFS. The latter caused slow boot times last year. I was running fine with that system...
