This mac mini i had been using to stream for years with no issues. Now last time the power went out, i got this loading screen lockup happening.
so, i recently got it reformatted, got kodi installed, got everything the way i had it.
Now, just today, i experimented with having Kodi have the mac suspend after an hour of being idle. that did work. But.... when i went to wake it up.... it just showed like, a light grey screen, no loading, no nothing. tried moving the mouse around... nothing.
so, as much as i hated to try it, i held down the power button, and then powered it back on, hoping a reboot was all it needed.
THE FRICKEN LOADING LOOP IS BACK!!!! this is a fresh format with few things installed.
the absolute kicker is that on my main desktop, i can see that mac mini on my TEAMVIEWER as online!!!! I try to connect and see nothing but a blank black desktop and im not even able to remotely reboot, i cant *do* anything.... but it does see it as being online.
i read about the pressing shift on a reboot... but we dont have a usb keyboard in the house, let alone a MAC usb keyboard for it.....
anyone have any suggestions??? Why on earth would it go back into a boot loop SO quickly???
when i had it up and running for a long time, the power went out and kicked it off unexpectedly several times, it always booted back up no problems...... so i dont understand, especially since i held the button down myself to power it off rather than just unplug it, WHY this bootloop is back - already?? this is so frusterating....
