I'm thinking the macOS 10.15.3 update had something to do with it, since it just came out and my system updated to it while in Safe Mode. This is after 3 days of banging my head on the desk trying to figure out a way around it. I sh*t you not.a couple hours after posting this, my 2017 MacBook Pro 15 (A1707) booted up just fine, and the touchbar was working again. Again, your system will reboot as Apple has updated the system firmware a few times depending which macOS you are installing. Now before doing anything else apply all of the needed updates. In a few hours your system should have finished the OS install. Now exit Disk Utility and start the OS installer letting it do its thing! Your system will reboot a few times and the screen will also go dark so don’t panic!! Once started go to the menu and select Disk Utility and then delete all of the partitions, then reformat the drive as one GUID APFS partition. Restart your system then using the Option key to enter into the Startup Manager select the USB-C installer drive.

How to create a bootable macOS Catalina installer drive.How to create a bootable macOS Mojave installer drive.Next create a bootable OS installer using another Mac system, I personally would stick with Mojave for now as Catalina is still a bit buggy! In any case here’s how to create both: Do you think replacing the touchbar unit will solve the problem?Īt this point you need to wipe the drive and re-install your OS from an external OS installer drive.įirst backup anything important off your drive (TimeMachine) The internet says it has to do something with touchbar unit, but I didn’t have any issues before.

I can also use my mac booting from portable usb windows drive but again touchbar, keyboard backlight and sound does not work (everything used to work from the same usb drive before the critical software thing happed). However, I am able to use my mac from safe boot mode but touchbar, keyboard backlight and sound does not work from safe mode.

I also tried factory OS install (shift option command R) but fails after downloading OS. I have also tried the clean install with and empty disk (command + R) but shows same screen. I’ve tried updating with wifi, personal hotspot and with LAN adapter but I get same screen. When I turn on it says a critical update is required but keeps saying that an error occurred when I try to install. APFS, NTFS, and HFS are no exception to this.Īs some further detail, I noticed that verifying checksums for a sparsebundle on an APFS volume took significantly longer than performing the same operation on a similar sparsebundle on an HFS+ volume.This happened to me after few days of using the new macOS Catalina. One reason is quite simply that filesystems themselves have bugs. Yes, I realize that the filesystem where the sparsebundle lives should not matter, but I have myself seen that sometimes it does. try to mount your sparsebundle while it lives on a read-only HFS+ volume. and less to do with the read/write vs read-only issue. If I had to take a guess, I would say it probably has more to do with the filesystem that the sparsebundle lives on (not the filesystem internal to the sparsebundle). Worth mentioning that you are probably using sparsebundles that are themselves HFS+ formatted, if you are using them for Time Machine. I then switch to using sparsebundles on HFS+ volumes, and no more problems. I have experienced problems using sparsebundles on APFS volumes, whereby writing ~50gb lead to a backup that had incorrect checksums (determined by running tmutil verifychecksums and seeing a failure). The ntfs-3g project seemed completely dead judging by its website, and the install/compile instructions seemed lacking and outdated (packages from 2015 as opposed to the latest release in 2017).

I'm aware of paid drivers for NTFS on macOS, but I'm initially looking for a free solution for Mojave. I can't use HFS+) and from which I can restore when using it as a USB drive (so far not NTFS). I'm doing my backups over SMB, so I want a file system that's journalled on Linux (i.e. What are the requirements to be able to restore from a sparsebundle? Is it that the containing volume is writable, or something else? Background When I wanted to restore from it I connected it and the volume was mounted as read-only, but I was unable to mount the sparsebundle and migration assistant didn't offer it as a source to restore from.Īfter copying the sparsebundle to a read-write HFS+ volume (on a USB drive) I was offered the option to restore from it, leading to my question. I have a Time Machine sparsebundle backup on an NTFS volume on a USB drive.
