Make Cup of tea, hit keyboard more, search key terms relating to Expensive Apple machine using expletives to find out how many others are experiencing your problem or similar.

After 20 minutes consider going for a poop come back twiddle thumbs, read more forum posts - consider thumping keyboard some more times - be aware at this point you could be reported for abuse under the Apple care policy.

Eventually it worked, Then find next stumbling block in long drawn out process which means you will not get any productivity today at all, repeat whole process again this time round whilst banging head against wall.
