couldn't mount disk -69842 problems were found with the partition

I’ll give that a shot, I still have the last SSD in an external enclosure. I think I can boot from that still.

Thanks I’ll give it a shot.

Also I forgot to mention, I used open core on here for awhile running Ventura. It was okay and I got sidecar for awhile like I wanted but with the new security features it rendered it useless for me as it wasn’t supported. I choose security over everything else every time. That said tho I didn’t have any issues with it and I wiped and installed fresh drive so I wouldn’t think it had any current effect.

Okay, “And here I go again on my own

Going down the only road I've ever known!”

Sorry……. Popped into my head…..now it’s stuck, %#*@ white snake

@deleteduser - Boy you love pushing it! I think you went a bit to far with the Ventura! I would have stopped at Monterey if it’s your daily driver. Sure! It’s fun to push it it’s just something to do on a test system. As an example I have two matched 2015 15” MacBooks just to test stuff before I make the jump. But my needs are likely different than yours as I can’t afford to be in the field with a problematic system due to OS or App issues.

Yeah, You’re right, I did, but honestly I don’t think that was it. But I do experiment with it on the regular. For iffy downloads, testing software before I put on my new daily driver that apple sent, it was the new pro Max 14 inch. That’s the one I am going to use for video reviews and daily stuff like that. It’s a hobby but hopefully goes somewhere because since Covid too 90% of my family and left me a single father to an amazing 6 year old I wanna be able to do something from home.

That said I did what you said which was to obvious answer. I guess I was hoping for more of a deep dive type fix so I can learn more lol. But easy is good too lol.

It’s up and running, It’s being used to merge all my apple accounts so I can have just the one to worry about. Managed to get all the movie purchased moved over but I have yet to find a way to trick the system into accepting the software purchases from another account so I’ll have to use family sharing for that until I do.

Thanks a ton,

@deleteduser - If you’re set don’t forget to accept the answer - Thanks!
