Good morning. Merry Christmas. I tried the last prompts you were asking. Nothing different. I am going to order keyboard on ebay, good idea
Do think I am doing something wrong? You are trying to get into some type of bios like screen? I feel like it's me doing something wrong
 
Merry Christmas.
I do not know if the keyboard will make a difference.
If you want you can order the one from Amazon and send it back if it does not work.
I am trying to get to the recovery screen.
No BIOS on Macs.
See Post #115 on page 6.
This is what we want.

Is your new desktop Windows or Ubuntu?

I have to work today and I will check back latter on today.
 
Since we think the wireless pc keyboard works.
For this one you have to be a bit quick. Windows Key, Alt Key, P Key, R Key.
To do this it is a bit easier to hold the P & R keys down
Start the Mac and quickly press and hold the Windows & Alt keys.
So you should have all 4 keys pressed in at the same time.

We hope that it then gives the Mac Chime/Boing
If it does keep holding the keys until it Chimes/Boings again.

Then try Windows Key, Alt Key, R Key.
Remember you have to keep them held in.
 
Oh man, you have to work!
It is xmas eve here so let me get back to you tomorrow. I will try these things tomorrow. thanks much for your effort through holidays!
my new computer is Ubuntu, I think I completely wiped out windows on it.
 
I have a keyboard on order.
So might not be able to load Mac OS? I don't understand what ever even happened to it. I think i accidentally hit the update button and I knew it wasn't supported anymore. I can't believe the got it stuck in a loop and ruined everything. That doesn't make sense.
Well we can see if keyboard works when it gets here
I have one small windows laptop
Sorry, I still don't get email notification, glitch in system I think
 
You can turn on push notifications.
When you get the keyboard we can try internet restore.
Remember you went into Disk utility and ran first aid on the drive ? I think back on page 8 of this thread.
Next to the first aid is a restore.
If you highlight the top drive can you click on restore?

If not then we can try an internet restore or I will give you a link to a file that should boot for an install.

Everything is checked but I don't receive email notification. Its weird. But I can try to be better on checking
I have to sleep
I can try the restore function tomorrow.
also the keyboard should be here in a couple days, but I will come back tomorrow as well

Thanks Peter
 
hey guys, can I come back in a few days when keyboard comes? maybe we can finalize stuff at that time depending on ideas PeterOz has.
 

Apple A1242 Wired USB Aluminum Keyboard 2 USB Ports MB869LL/A​

I got this one. I am excited. Even if it does not work for what we need, I would like to use with my new ubuntu desk top. I assume it can be used with any computer.
it's not coming until 1/7/25
:(

I got push going. but it is my uinderstanding that this just pushes to browesr. email still does not work. maybe the forum hates hotmail addresses?
