[@manojchhetri9070]

U didn't solve anything, just looked at bash lol

[@jesswhited9895]

I solved this problem by clicking on the WIFI icon in the upper right corner and reentering my WIFI password. It didn't remember the PW from when I had previously entered it. Then I had to run the recovery install twice before it worked.

[@amaru894]

It worked for me as well, thanks for the hint !

[@rikaft7355]

Thankyou i’ve been tried the terminal but couldn’t worked and when i did what you say it’s work!

[@lourdes06500]

Crazy - this worked even though all I did was ... type “date” in the terminal window and then try again. Not expected, but certainly most welcome! Thanks.

[@Ibrahim-us5hu]

For all the dislikes,, after typing date enter, then new command “name date” run. Then quit. Then it will install with no problems. Thank you for the video

[@alexkhrapko]

You should check your wifi connection in a top-right corner. As it turned out internet recovery does not remember you wifi setup as you started it. There is no point to mess with terminal/menu - just make sure mac is connected to the network. Hope this helps. Cheers.

[@SpeedChair]

Perfect, fixed my problem, thanks for the video and the suggestion on the wifi

[@bobadelfson2105]

Perfect. "internet recovery does not remember the wifi setup as you started it" was the key. I tried everything until I read your post.

[@idkjaehyy]

2023: I have a MacBook Early 2011, so I did anything I can do and I did this thing. It also dont work till I search on Apple Supports till I see that "If you are on Recovery Mode, All you did from the Disk or in the Software will not be remembered". So I re-entered my WiFi Password and also Make my MacBook Close to the Router and Erase my Disk and That fixed my Problem! I see that you need a better WiFi Connection so Apple Servers will see that you are requesting for an Software Install or Update! Hope this helps!

[@spotdog]

I have erased my main drive, no help. Have tried everything in the video to no avail. Getting kinda frustrating.

All you did was type "date" in Terminal. With all the scrolling you do in the Terminal menus, at no time did you select any command except for Quit Terminal. So typing date in Terminal alone solved the problem?

My WiFi is connected and I can't get High Sierra to reinstall. I've even tried booting into internet install mode (command+option+R) and the globe just spins for hours.
