*Phew!* Right, did a disk repair and restarted and it seems to have booted up fine now. Also, just backed up my keynote to my USB drive so nothing’s going to stop this talk tomorrow (cue: falling grand piano) :)

Had the same thing last week, needed to reinstall high sierra :-/
-
Crap! Don’t tell me that! :) Would basically kill tomorrow’s talk. Did you find out what caused it?
-
No was also just working on my mac, but the same day I saw some other ppl on twitter having the exact same thing happening to them
-
Just managed to recover from it by running “first aid” in the disk tool (https://twitter.com/aral/status/985898624096849920 …) Very shoddy work on behalf of the updater. Fingers crossed it doesn’t flake out before/during my talk.
-
Fwiw I had the same happen to me but the installer file was corrupt. Force booting from primary OS (instead of installer partition) fixed the bootloop
-
Hmm, maybe that’s what fixed it. I did Option-start and pick the HD.
-
Damnit :D oh well ... as long as it doesnt happen again I’m okay with this one-time hickup in my 12 years of Apple usage

You only have one Mac/PC? Who only has one Mac/PC?
-
How many do you carry with you while travelling?
-
Two. One Windows, and one Linux laptop. Any more and TSA start making things awkward.
-
Haha, touché.

Same problem, lack of disk space was the issue. Managed to find a way back to the desktop, freed up space and reinstalled the update
-
Odd, I’m seeing 70GB free. Glad you got yours sorted too :)
