ergot Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hello, its been a week with no solution so far, have installed 10.15.7 on AMD machine (Asrock X570 Creator / 16 Core Ryzen 9 5950X / HyperX 64GB 2400MHZ DDR4 / Asus Radeon VII) looks OK, BT is working, network is OK WiFi NOT working, TB is working! BUT I have many issues with system admin user privileges which I don't have for some folders mainly for "System" folders I am an Admin user, I have tried to create a new Admin user, re-install different version of Catalina but every time it is the same. Also when I click on "security and privacy" in system preferences it get stuck and crushing the app. instaling Apps - OK but will fail to load if no access to system file I am loosing ideas, is anyone know how to make it work?

What about SIP? Sorry but I did not know that and I don't know how to o this....can you please let me know how to do this? SIP is disabled Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/347704-catalina-installed-10157-but-not-having-admin-privileges/#findComment-2757780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ergot Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 Thanks! I did that and after booting the OS refuse to load, lines of codes running for hours very slowly… I think it’s something in EFI folder strange I have backup so I restored install and I’m at stage 1 again, maybe perform this as a single user? From USB install? ill try this and report thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/347704-catalina-installed-10157-but-not-having-admin-privileges/#findComment-2757886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockDown Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 it was more of the things you did after the 2 commands that caused the not booting.
