What if it doesn't have an erase option when you get too the Macintosh HD option?? I can verify disk or repair disk but erase isn't an option. I've made it to 2:01 unable to do that step. HELP!
This factory reset worked great. But you must erase and delete your documents folder and your recent activity after the reset is complete. These files are still active and on the computer. Thanks for this great tutorial,.
After I have press the Power+Option button, I do not see the Recovery HD icon..only Macintosh HD. and when i press Macintosh HD…it restart my Mac back to the desktop. Please help…thank you
This was SOOOOOO easy versus other sites I looked at. Worked! Highly recommend! Q to anyone out there. This HD now erased completely, right? I am selling MacBook Pro (2010) & want to make sure no info on HD. thx!
To those who doesnt see recovery HD, when its time to shut down your mac, and you turn it back on, its NOT ONLY Command and power button. Its Command+ R button+ power button. Once it makes a noise or you see the white screen when it turns on, let go of the power button but KEEP ON HOLDING the command+ r. You have to wait for the apple logo to load before you let go of it. You only let go of Command+R when the recovery loads. Then you can follow the steps.
Oaky. I know why. All of you might of accidentally deleted something and caused it to delete Recovery HD. Basically what you're gonna have to do is make a bootable usb drive. Look for a video on TH-cam. There are a lot
when i get to the installation part it says to sign in with my apple ID but when I do that it just says. This item is temporarily unavailable...any ideas?
You blew right by how to get it to connect to wifi in the beginning. Why didn't you show how you did that? Around 1:14 mark, you skip it, and its critical!
I need help. I bought the Macbook Pro several years ago and I have recently restored due to errors and lags, as well as frequent freezes. After I erased my data, I went to reinstall Mac OS X, but when I logged into my App Store account it said I hadn't purchased Mountain Lion. Now I can't reboot it and I cannot buy the Mountain Lion OS X, since it isn't available on the App Store anymore. Anyone know the solution to this problem?

hi urgent question, if my macbook is backed up to icloud if i wipe my mac will it wipe everything or when i sign back into icloud will it all come back?
when I click install it tells me to sign into the Apple Store and when I do it says this item is temporarily unavailable try again later please help because my computer won't even open anything because it's slow
Hi! I'm a complete technophobe and everything with more than one button confuses me. But even for a person like me, your tutorial was very comprehensible! Thanks! I do have one question though: before I start erasing everything: is a regular time machine back up sufficient to recover all my files on the HD? Or if not, what kind of backup do I need to make? Also I want to install an older version (I have Yosemite, but my 6 year old MacBook can't handle that version anymore and it's painfully slow). Is this possible? Please help me, I'm hopeless 😂!
When i try to reinstall os x it wont verify my eligibility… when i bought it off offer up it wasnt locked i could do whatever i wanted i thought until I tried to go to the App store and it said there was an i cloud account on it already. It had been dropped so the casing is kind of messed up but screen isnt cracked and it worked fine. Well it was their daughter’s and found it in their storage unit. She didn’t want it so they put it on offer up. I bought it l tried to do this now camt do anything because it wont let me. I tried the control s thing and it says there is a lock on the computer
Itry this tutorial but the problem iOS Catalina is not installing again and I have to sign in again my I cloud but it’s not working now.. how I can back to original..
After the reboot how long should this step take? I just replaced the HDD with a 1tb SSD, done everything up until 3:18, it rebooted, shows the apply and the spinning waiting symbol and it doesn't seem to be getting past that stage. Any ideas? I don't ever seem to get to the installation part, the spinning icon just keeps spinning. How long should it spin?

I think im gonna need this help. I want to remove the Apple ID i created on my Macbook Pro when I was in Saudi Arabia. Now, Im here in the Philippines and i can no longer log in, it needs to configure again on the mobile number that i register before which is no longer working.
Stuck on signing into apple store to download. I enter correct password and username, and i get notification of a sign in attempt, but it says my password is wrong....
It didn't work for me. After erasing the disk, I got stuck on installing OS (Apple couldn't verify eligibility of my Mac. Really Apple?). I ended up with the Internet Recovery: command - option/alt - R on a restart. What is important in this process, is that you have to be connected to Internet with a cable.

Restart your Mac. Immediately hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys after you hear the startup sound to start up in OS X Recovery.
