Hello everyone, I got the following problem;
Bought my Dad an old used early 2009 iMac and spent hours setting it up for him and putting all his stuff on there and a few weeks later he or someone else accidentally started the OS Upgrade via Apples Updater to the latest OSX available. Which at the time was not supported by OCLP as far as i remember. So the result was that the system ended up in a non bootable state of the original install and the recovery mode would not work either. I don't recall which OS was exactly installed as I tested 4 different versions and eventually settled on the one which as a compromise was still supported by apple or at least as close as possible with a reasonable modern OS and was performing well on that older dual core Mac.
From memory this was around summer last year and due to some health issues and frankly lack of energy after I had put so much effort into it I didn't get around to finding a solution yet,...
Additionally, before all that my Brother helpfully deleted all my fathers stuff from his other Computers so that all his stuff is now only on this iMac.
Is there any way I can retrieve the Data or maybe repair the messed up Bootpartition/ OS Installation? Maybe slipstream the newer OCLP Version or something? Any Help is appreciated!
Also if I can ever solve this, is there a way I can prevent further accidental OS upgrades? Thanks!
