Environment

• Apple MacOS: All Supported Versions

Objective

To retrieve files from an unbootable Apple hard drive.

Resolution

• Use Target Disk Mode to move files from an Apple hard drive using another MacOS endpoint.

Additional Notes

• The administrator will require two MacOS endpoints to transfer files.
• A MacOS placed into Target Mode will allow access to the system drive content as long as the issue is a system-based problem, and not an issue with the physical drive.
