i have the same issue but the "Internet recovery" is popping out. I tried using LAN cables but it just redirecting me to a globe with "!" In it and says apple support
Thank you for your video and help, unfortunately my mac does not offer me the hard drive to do the first step... do you have any idea how to fix this? Thank you!
I’m having issues in starting my Macbook I’ve already used Option plus Command plus Power button and after that comes Network Selection and after that a globe comes and later some codes start to flash on screen and it goes off. Please help out
Oh my god thank you so much!!!! I had an essay due tonight and my laptop started acting up 😭 I really thought it was the end of the world. Thank you!!!!!!!
Brother love from India💓... I watched many videos they make me scared that I need to change my drive, I need to change my dive cable... But brother just 4 buttons made my Mac into working..... Thank You brother.....
I dont understand something. is the option+command+p+R (second step) necessary after you did the first step? because i did the first step and it worked out
Tried your solution, chose the MacintoshHD and my network, but instead of booting normally, the flashing question mark returned , and so on and so on.....
I don't see a hard drive logo when I turn on my computer using any of the instructions I find on the internet (using my phone to search). The best I get option to connect to the internet which i do but i can go anywhere after i connect my Mac to the internet. Can you help please?
I tried every step you said in the video but I'm still getting the question mark folder. Also I can't find the disk when I go into the recovery mode. Can you please help?
If the OS couldn't find the disk to install it on, maybe it's time to erase the disk. Please use the Apple website or TH-cam to do so, as I am in the same situation.
Hey bro plzz help me When I press alt and power button I get an option of internet recovery It's not reading any drives there I have a macbook pro 2012 with and ssd I have additionally added a 1 tb internal harddrive After that I faced the problem of white screen boot up
Thank you so much. I had a mini heart attack when i saw the flashing folder with a question mark. I looked for a tutorial in utube immediately, and it worked. Again, thank you so much
I have this same issue..but when i press “option(alt)” button..its automatically going to internet recovery mode..can you help me what to do next please.
Channel Check yep...i went to apple store and fixed it...but i guess the issue was when downloading the macoas catalina in recovery mode ..need to connect to the wifi again...but from the apple store they fixed it by their network cable .
i have same issue although it cant locate disk, but when i verify disk in disk utility it says its good when i click the repair button it says its good, but when i try to redownload mac os no disk pops up - its macbook 2015 500gbssd
My Mac is having the folder-question mark error. I've managed to bring it back to life, but I keep having the same error. I've gotten a recovery message with the turn on/off button on the background saying "Your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a couple of seconds." I'm worried because I've tried to make a backup about 4 or 5 times, and I keep getting an error message saying that my backup could not be completed. I ordered a bigger hard drive (1tb) hoping that it will solve this problem. But my macbook pro is a bit old now (late 2013) and I'm beginning to doubt the new hard drive will do anything... Do you have any insights? I'll try your fix next time it crashes and will let you know if it worked :) Thank you for this video!
Same thing happening to me, but I have a 2015 13 inch macbook pro. My OS was the first version of Catalina and I hoped the newest version will solve the problem but after the reinstall the same error came again, almost every day so far... I don't know how can I solve this problem :(
Hi. thanks for your good advice. I have a macbook air 2018 that shows macbook air flashing folder with question marks! I have done as you say but it will not start the disc. It wants to be connected to a network and then it goes to 100% and it just stays there without anything happening! How can I fix it? best regards Hamidi
Mine straight up jumps into Internet recovers and I cannot select my hard drive since I’m assuming it’s not recognized. Do you know how to fix that? Thanks!
I dont thing you lose any data with this method im doing , but lets hope your HDD didn't died , this king of froze its not good sign, try this method and let me know
Tips 2 Fix Thank you so much. It worked. I am able to use the system now. But if I restart the machine then same issue comes back. So is there any permanent solution to this?
I have the same model Mac as you and I am having the same problem. I am doing exactly what you do and the blinking folder will still not go away. Any help?
Hi, So I did a complete reset on my I-Mac and proceeded to re-install OSX but it kept freezing and so I held the power button down to turn off and then restarted and now all I get is the blinking folder with the question mark. Do you have any additional instructions ? What are my options. I know the hard drive is good as it was working fine up until I reset it. Great video so I thought I would ask you since this issue didn't happen out of the blue. Thanks.
Hello bro. I tried and followed what you did, unfortunately came out with the same issue. Probably I deleted all the files in disk utility. Just I want to get my MacBook to factory setting as a reason of overheating of laptop. But seemingly did wrong and deleted the whole things.
I get to the Apple restore and the eligibility. I get passed the agreement page but when I get to the page where it says to select the disk I want to install OS X. No disk shows up and then I get stuck. Please help!
I encountered this issue today. I was running a partitioned HD with Bootcamp, mostly running Windows. I tried many of your steps but did not try to the "nunclear" option of reinstalling MacOS, as I did not want to lose all my Windows data. I was able to get into Disk Utility and run First Aid, but I'm not sure if it helped or hurt. Eventually, after several restarts and holding Option, I saw the spinning globe icon and it asked me for a WiFi password. And finally, it just gave up and referred me to Apple Support. So, I pulled the SSD and ordered an enclosure. My main fear is losing all data, primarily that was in the Bootcamp Win. partition. Usually, in Disk Utility, I would see BOOTCAMP listed as a drive as Windows, but the last time I was in Disk Utility, I just saw one drive (Mac) listed BUT the file storage bar, show it full, so I'm hoping I can still access the data on another computer. I would like to hear your thoughts/advice.btw, I did reset the PRAM and NVRAM as well. Thanks!
When i open my macbook it shows black screen or sometimes a blinking folder with question mark logo. Someone said the SSD corrupt, i already changed the SSD but its still the same.Every time i open my mac it shows black screen i need to click some ctrl keys to open it or the recovery mode.
I'm also facing the same problem, even though I connected with internet, it's showing can't able to download the additional files needed to install Mac os....... Please help me........
I change hard disk to ssd after this i download catalina patch while installing process same question mark on screen so what should i do bro plz help me...
Please help me. My dear friend gave me her Desk top in which has a macOS Catalina program. I am trying reboot her whole syatem, so I can start fresh. The mouse only moves on the tab on top, an when I get to "choose what disk" to download the key board an mouse does not work. Help me please
Hello bro my problem is I downloaded the Qustodio on my macbook and in my son macbook I did something wrong and removed from both laptops but still the show in screen from Qustodio app I don't know how to removed if you know please help me thanks
At this point, the Mac should start to download the recovery files from the internet and show a status bar. When complete, it should reinstall macOS Recovery and reinstall macOS on the main partition.
Tips 2 Fix what happens if it keeps coming up with an error message after letting it load? I’ve tried to get mine to actually install the new OS and I’ll get the spinning world, but then it won’t work
Please helppp!!! I replaced the hard drive with a new ssd and it worked fine but after a few days it started doing the question mark, i tried both things in this video, i changed the cabe that connects the ssd bc i was told it was ruined when changing the new ssd, and its doing it again help...!!
Was able to choose my hard drive after I started it back up and held option but now it’s in the Apple logo screen with the spinning loading whirl. What should I do next? Just wait here or press something else?
