Hey all
I've ben using a Ti for more than 10 years, worked though many issues over the years but currently totally stumped.
Recently trying to install OS 5.1.7.00 on High Sierra. This has happened on a fresh install on my Mac Pro with a currently working OS (also High Sierra) on another drive.
Basically installer crashes when looking for attached Viruses. No matter if there is one connected or not, Have a Polar 1 and a Desktop 1, same on both.
This has happened on fresh installs, old installs. 4 Different Macs, 2010 Mac Pro, 2011 15" Macbook Pro, Late 2013 15" Macbook Pro, 2012 13" Macbook Pro.
All issues on SSD drives so APFS volumes.
All ok on some installs until Virus plugin started to crash Logic X, tried to reinstall then after crash any attempt to load plugin crashes any App. Also after 2 complete fresh installs, all other plugs for my system, days and days, agh!! Original still working system (on slow HDD) has all the same plugs plus a fair bit more..
Possible related Directory issue with APFS volumes. Some unrepairable issues seem to be consistent.
So.. Rolled back one install to HFS+ so I could fully repair Directory, success there but... No change
Have deleted everything Ti related and reinstalled, No change
Cleared all Caches, inc. deep system possibly related.No change
Disabled SIP and Gatekeeper
Currently upgrading HFS+ volume with Archive and Install method... Done... testing... Crash
Will install a copy of Sierra so I can write some music (on a reasonably fast SSD install) for now!!
Anyone else experienced this? is there a Virus in My Virus installer???
Any help much appreciated, business, relationship and children don't leave much time for music (sanity!!) so this much downtime and troubleshooting (I fix other peoples Macs and mobile tech for a living) is getting somewhat frustrating.
Yes I'm in discussion with support via email, no such there so far and thanks to Access support for replying.
Cheers
