If you're anything like me, you will (or already have) accidentally wiped your Macbook's ssd. It may seem like you just bricked your MacBook, but luckily there is a remedy.
A present for you... mac os. The way forward is to use the built-in 'internet recovery' which, on startup, can be triggered via pressing 'cmd + R'.
With this portable external CD/DVD drive with USB 3.0 and USB-C 2-in-1 connector, you can use it on most different laptops/ desktops without any adapter or hub required, just plug it into the USB 3.0, 2.0, or USB-C port directly, it will be recognized by your computer automatically, then you can play your CDs or DVDs through the corresponding software. You can also drive away, especially if the cops are called after you trip over the alarm system. However, The Thief's getaway car is more of a hindrance than a help. Even the cars in the Far Cry games are better. It drives slow and often hits pedestrians, rendering escape utterly pointless. The AI at play also isn't brilliant. Ummm, last I heard a hard drive is a hard drive. And one from a Mac is the same thing as one from a PC. So YES you should be able to take a hard drive out of a Mac and put it in a PC. The exceptions being that some Macs (Macbook Air, Retina MacBook Pro, new MacPro) use a PCI based SSD EG not SATA).
There is a bit of a catch: if you do this straight away, there is a good chance that the Mac will get stuck here and throw up an error – error -3001F in my personal experience. This tends to be because the Mac assumes it is already connected to Wi-Fi (when its not) and gives an error after it fails to connect to apple servers. If instead your MacBook lets you select a Wi-Fi network during this process, you're in the clear and can skip the next paragraph.
Luckily there is another way to connect, via apple's boot menu. Invaders (aztecfox) mac os. https://lexinomiconboatdownloadmacfoesforthewordswithbnbbcquestos.peatix.com.

Once you're connected, you want to hit 'cmd + R' from that boot screen. Do not restart the computer. If you had been able to connect without the boot menu, you should be already be in internet recovery and do not need to press anything.
Now that the wifi is connected, you need to wait. Eventually you will see the Macbook's recovery tools. First thing you need to do is to select disk utility, select your Macbook's hard drive and hit erase – this may seem redundant but I'll explain in a moment. Now go back into the main repair menu by closing the disk utility.
Unless you created a 'time machine' backup, you'll want to pick the reinstall Mac OS X option. Hot pocolate mac os. After clicking through for a bit, you will see a page asking you to select a drive. If you properly erased the hard drive a few moments before, you will be able to select the hard drive and continue on. If you hadn't erased the drive again, there is a good chance no drive will appear in the drive selection. To fix that, all you have to do is to erase the drive again with the disk utility mention earlier – the one catch is that you can only get back to the recovery tools if you restart the computer and start internet recovery again, which as you may have noticed, is a slow process.
Depending on the age of your Macbook, there is a solid chance that you will end up with an old version of Mac OS. If you have two step verification enabled, you may have issues updating the the latest Mac OS version.
Out of my own experience, OS X Mavericks will not allow you to login to the app store if you have two step verification – but I would recommend trying, your luck could be better than mine. The reason why we need to App Store is because it is required to upgrade to High Sierra/the present version of OS X.

Since you will be creating this account purely for the sake of updating the MacBook, I wouldn't recommend using your primary email or adding any form of payment to the account.
Once you're logged in, you should be free to update and after some more loading screens, you will have an fully up-to-date MacBook. The last thing remaining (if you had to create a new Apple ID) is to log out of the App Store and login to your personal Apple ID.
Apple has issued a patch for macOS Mojave 10.14.5 that fixes a problem with Boot Camp, one that prevents users from using the tool to produce a new partition on some Macs equipped with a Fusion Drive.
Added to Apple's support pages on Thursday, the brief document offers a download link for the 'macOS Mojave 10.14.5 Boot Camp Update. The download itself is equally small, weighing in at just 1.9 megabytes in size.
Be Quiet And Drive Far Away Acoustic
Apple describes the download as addressing 'an issue which prevents creation of a new Boot Camp partition on iMac and Mac mini with Fusion Drive.' It is unclear if owners of non-Fusion Drive models encountered similar issues with Boot Camp.
It appears that the patch can be downloaded by any Mac users running macOS Mojave 10.14.5 capable of mounting a Fusion Drive, but considering the description, it is likely to only be of use to certain iMac and Mac mini owners.
Boot Camp is Apple's function that enables a Mac to have a partition set up for running Windows outside of macOS, without needing to use a virtual machine within macOS itself. The feature enables Windows users to continue using their Windows-only apps on their Mac, instead of relying on a separate dedicated Windows PC.
