I know it's not my business, but... why "forcing" an OS over a machine that's *eight* years older than the OS? I think that OS wouldn't run well anyway. Because that iMac was just under the cutoff for that version of the OS (late 2009 imacs made the cut, and there really isn’t much difference hardware-wise between the two). It runs Yosemite just fine; so it’s not a huge stretch to try, and this has been widely published: <http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/how-install-macos-sierra-on-older-mac-3654960/> the tool itself: <http://dosdude1.com/sierrapatch.html> Also detailed instructions are there, such as what to do if you get a “NO” symbol after installing… Follow the directions carefully, folks, when handling digital power tools! It won't boot using any of the short cuts to make it select another drive. This is more troubling, because even if the internal disk is fubar this should still work. All I can suggest is try resetting the PRAM (boot while holding down command-option-P-R for a couple boot chime cycles) and seeing if that works to allow booting from an external volume. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
