My friend got a new MacBook Pro from office, later on he resigned and in a hurry erased the "Macintosh HD", now we are trying to install Mojave using Bootable USB but it won't allow because "External Boot" is not allowed, also when we try to access "Startup Security Utility" it shows an error saying no administrator was found, so we can't enable "Allow booting from external media". Somehow online installation from recovery mode is also not working and throws 202 error at the end. Is there any luck?

You could try select your internal drive as start up disk but it doesn't let you to. So reboot your MBP. And press Command + R. In my case it failed to boot the macOS and it just reboot into the recovery mode again.

I had to boot into recovery mode and reinstall High Sierra (the initial shipped version of macOS). Installing HS gave an administrator account. With the administrator account I was able to allow booting from any external device and finally booted from mac USB stick macOS mojave. After that I could remove HS.

I had a similar issue with my 2018 Mini: I had to delete the .AppleSetupDone file and run the "Welcome to Mac" routine, creating a new admin user there before I could alter SecureBoot, even though the disk had been imaged with an admin user.

If you don't have MacOs installed, you could try booting it in Target Mode from another Mac, which I understand bypasses the Secure Boot! (Though if the drive is encrypted, you'll need the password, unless you're wiping it anyway.)

Alternatively, take it to an Apple Store. The SecureBoot settings can't be changed unless there is a valid admin user, so you can't boot to an external. Recovery is another option, but you say that's not working.

I managed to get around this by using Disk Utility (from recovery mode) to "restore" my internal drive with the image on my external bootable drive. Voila, your bootable drive is no longer "external" and you can boot from it. You'll probably want to create a separate partition on your internal drive for the bootable partition to install to; ideally your second partition is the installer so that you can delete it later without the "you can't remove the first volume on the disk" error.

A friend of mine got one of those corporate-managed MacBooks I think it was Meta so it will always go back to being managed by Meta. Anyhow with the T2 chip and security enabled so cannot boot from external devices. So the MacBook is a brick - re-installing it with any version of MacOS will will make it Meta controlled and she cannot log in as it's linked to Meta corporate accounts. So the only solution was to install Linux on it to make it useful.

After all three of those failed, since I didn't need anything on the MBP's internal SSD, just get it deployable, I booted into Recovery, deleted the Boot volume, created a new Boot volume, and installed Monterrey into the new APFS volume. This apparently corrected whatever was at fault in BridgeOS, as the 501 admin account was recognized by the Startup Security Utility as an admin, and FileVault could be enabled normally.

I am trying to change the security settings using the Startup Security Settings on my new MacBook Pro (Apple Silicon).I am entering the MacOS Recovery utility by holding down the fingerprint button. When I enter the Recovery Utility I click on Utilities > Security Policy.

For anyone that has this problem in the future, I seem to have solved the problem. The confusing part is that it actually solved itself. I think it has to do with the disk encryption status - while the disk is initially encrypting changing this security setting does not appear to be possible. After coming back to this setting about 6 hours later, it suddenly started working, for no apparent reason.

I tried completely disabling disk encryption and re-enabling it - and at first, it did not work. But after a few hours, the problem suddenly disappeared. So it appears that changing this setting when you first start setting up your Mac is the problem.

I had the same issue, exact same symptoms as OP. I looked into it further and wonder if during OPs troubleshooting he was entering Fallback Roceovery mode which requires 2 quick presses of the power button and then holding on the second press until it starts to load Start up options. In Fallback rocovery mode you cannot change Security settings in Startup Security Utility. It will give you the same error OP had every single time.

After additional research I was able to fix it by launching in regular recovery mode by pressing the power button once and holding it. That launches into Regular Recovery mode and allows you to make security changes.

For anyone who has "FileVault" enabled, try disabling it and then restarting. Much easier than trying to quickly tap the power button to enter Recovery mode when the system prompts you to "Restart." Very very frustrating they use the power button to manage this process; it's very difficult and confusing when the power is coming on or off for the machine. Anyways, disabling FileVault allowed me to get around this.

Nothing above worked for me, and it worked when I opened the Fallback Recovery OS, turned off the computer, and then started it in normal Recovery OS. I have no idea why this worked, but if it can help ...

This is not the case with other laptops i have had in the past. Anyway, whatever I try it won't mount as a disk. I try blank, I try "Password" I try my recovery Key - nothing. The only thing that half works is my normal user password (same on both macs) That at least gets it to not do that shake of the dialogue box that means incorrect password. It seems to accept it but nothing happens.

Unfortunately, once you set the Open Firmware password of a 2016 or later Mac, there is no way to recover the data on the machine if you can't get to the machine's password. That's a facet of the T1/T2 chips used. You'll be able to wipe and reuse any unused portion of the hard drive as its own partition from System Restore's disk utility, but the other data is permanently locked. And the internal drive may not even let you upgrade the operating system, though you can always run a newer operating system externally.

While I think Mojave should be able to read the "Macintosh HD - Data" volume without issue there is a chance it cannot. I know I've accessed that volume from Mojave (either when booting the computer directly or by attaching a Catalina USB drive directly to the Mojave system).

If you are using a Mac Pro Desktop system, then its USB ports only operate at USB2 speeds which is quite slow. Your Mac Pro may be doing a lot of work such as Spotlight trying to index the Catalina volume. You can see if you can disable Spotlight indexing on the Catalina volume using System Preferences --> Spotlight --> Privacy. Keep in mind this setting is store on the actual volume itself and is not stored locally on your Mac Pro (Mojave). You will most likely want to re-enable this setting so when you boot the Catalina system Spotlight indexing is restored.

If you see a line containing information about "Macintosh HD - Data", then the volume is mounted and Mojave is actually busy doing something with the volume. Do you have any anti-virus apps or other third party security software installed that may be accessing the volume?

Ok, I just experimented with trying to mount a Filevaulted Catalina drive in Target Mode using macOS Mojave. The mounting process was difficult at times. With a Filevaulted drive macOS will prompt to unlock the Catalina drive, but one of the prompts will show the "users" as UUIDs. I actually had to enter the password for the Catalina Filevaulted drive several times before macOS was able to unlock the Filevault on the Catalina drive. Sometimes it would accept it on the first attempt. Then another password prompt is presented which contains a list of valid users for the Catalina drive.

If I canceled the initial password pop-up prompts when first connecting the Mac in Target Disk Mode, then I could use Disk Utility to manually mount the "Data" volume. Again two different password prompts are presented although not necessarily in the same order. Again, sometimes I had to enter the password multiple times before the password would be accepted.

When presented with the password prompt containing the UUID for the username, it is impossible to know which UUID to choose. I did try each UUID after freshly connecting the Catalina drive each time & using Disk Utility to attempt to manually unlock and mount the drive. When doing this and selecting the "Data" volume within Disk Utility, the one UUID would not accept the password even after repeated attempts (I'm guessing one UUID is meant for the system volume of the Catalina drive and the other UUID for the "Data" volume). The UUID's did not match any of the partitions/volumes so these "user" UUIDs may be identifying the Filevault encryption keys for each volume.

I was performing some other tests and discovered that the "Macintosh HD" volume may first need to be unlocked/mounted before macOS will allow the "Data" volume to be mounted. It shouldn't matter, but with extra testing I was unable to mount just the "Data" volume and it seemed easier if the "Macintosh HD" volume was first mounted. I don't know how much of my issues are due to the drive using Filevault.

I recently got a pic built for me by my uncle and I took all my actions the .atn and all my other Photoshop file that I had stored on my old PC and put them in my external hard drive to back them up. The problem is it will not let me take them off the external hard drive now and into the new computer it keeps saying I don't have permission to do so even though I've changed the permissions already....

I'm not sure what this is but it shows that the only certificate for the files is from my old PC is there a way to give it a certificate from my new PC or give my new PC the certificate from the old PC and if so would this possibly fix the problem

Certificates are designed to be highly secure, and unrepeatable. If lost, the certificate and files are gone forever. However, there may be a recovery certificate on the old computer. This is something to check with the maker of your security software, we are way outside our comfort zone here and it's nothing to do with Photoshop. I suggest you go back to your original PC and copy the files to a USB key. I suggested that before, I don't see why this should take more than a few minutes (unless the original machine is dust in which case so are these files). If you turn on disk security in future be sure to read all instructions and keep any backup certificates... I've been caught that way before.
