This video is legit. It helped bring my MacBook back to life after almost 2 years. It’s easy to follow. Thank you. I’m open to helping anyone that has additional questions
This is the only video that helped me. No one else tells you to fully delete your HD in utilities BEFORE you DL the operating system. THANKS for this!!!
Sir, I am standing in Northern New Jersey, facing North and saluting you. I hope you feel the positive vibe. Thanks to your instructions I fixed my teens Mac Air and a hero (even if just for one day). Thank you!
It's every mac user's nightmare to see such icons. This happened to me for the first time. I tried the command + r and the alt + power key several times but it failed. What finally worked for me was I let the mac rest for a couple of minutes and moved it to a location that is near the wifi server. Finally, it worked! I had to sacrifice deleting every single file on my mac. I'm just glad it worked out although the OS has reverted to Yosemite. I'm trying to upgrade it slowly before putting back my old files. Thanks a lot for this. A huge help. Saved me a lot of time, money, and effort. ☺🥰👍
By mistake I erased my disc when attempting to do a Factory Reset, still trying to figure this thing out, no luck yet but I'm glad I at least found this video, gives me hope in trying to bring my 11.6 Mackbook Air back to life
I actually had to take it to an Apple repair shop, they charged me $80 and the tech had it back like new within 5-hours..... I’m guessing it took him 45-minutes to actually perform the master reset and re-install the IOS disk.... it’s Not worth the energy struggling as Apple’s software 💻 is a far more complex system than a traditional PC.... I used Yelp to send out estimate request to simply to avoid calling around.
oh god thank you so much. I'm selling my 2011 macbook air to my friend and the prohibitory sign popped up when I restarted the macbook. Another video I watched said I had to unscrew the bottom of macbook, it was too risky lol. Life saver
Ok guys so I just had this happen to mine (I was super scared) but what worked for me was: 1. Turn off your Mac (I’m using MacBook Air) 2. Hold the power button and option key but release ONLY the power key and keep holding option until the WiFi bar appears 3. Find your WiFi and connect to it with your password 4. Click “internet restore” and wait until you see “disk utility” (should have a grey background with four tabs) or something similar 5. Go to the last option and navigate to the erase tab and select your hard drive (on the left and is usually the option at the top of the column) and name it something you can remember (AND KEEP IN MIND: THIS WIPES OUT ALL YOUR FILES:(, but it is the only way I was able to revive my Mac) and tap erase, and then hit the red x on this tab 6. Now, tap “Download OSX” or something along these lines 7. Now, install this OS by hitting agree (this may not be the latest version, but you can install it later) until it starts to install 8. Wait... wait... wait...... 9. Your Mac should boot up and may bring you to a page where it installs Mac OS X once again, so please be patient:) 10. Wait some more... 11. Yay!:)Your computer should show a big green check mark and restart shortly after, so wait until it’s done 12. Fill out your info as usual, and enjoy! Note: do not do this if you want to keep your information, or if you have any doubts about it working, so if you at all have the feeling, it is best to contact a computer technician:) HOPE THIS WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mac OS XSpeciality level out of ten: 0 Answer:A: i once also got a -2002u error. the solution was as follows. if you have dhcp enabled on your router, you should set dns servers for it too (both of mine proved to be 0.0.0.0). so i changed them to google ones (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as alternative) everywhere, and the connection went through. when downloading the latest operating system (high sierra) from internet recovery, i also encountered an error saying that there was no connection to apple servers (something like lost or dropped). this is because by the time i started the recovery, the system had already forgotten wi-fi password (that made me smile).

Hey pls can u help me out, I tried doing this but don’t work.... Is it because I replaced my HDD with SSD but not sure if the SSD has fit properly even though it did fit with my nicely. My old hdd has screws on the side but this Kingston ssd dose not have screws on the side is it because of that being unoticeable
Mine did that at it was like 10 at night so I went to bed and I tried again and now I'm just waiting for the apple logo , the problem is im a youtuber so if I need to upload , which I needed to last night , I couldn't have :(
I installed a new SSD because the other one wasn't showing. Now I have the new one and it appears on the Utility Disk but when I try to reinstall from zero, like you did in the last part, I cant see it. Any tips or ideas what might be wrong?

hi there my keyboard doesnt turn on when the mac powers up therefore I cant hold commant and r, is there any way around this? Ive also tried a usb pc keyboard and held win+r but to no effect :(
Macbook pro early 2015 13 inch (16gb ram 256 ssd aftermarket) I am using bigsur in it. Whenever i powers on my machine QUESTION MARK SIGN ON FOLDER starts blinking. Sometimes it appears and sometimes it doesn't. Totally unpredictable. I have done following things as solutions but sign comes again after somedays. Reset SMC and NVRAM, Disk Utility Repair, Factory reset machine, Reinstalled new OS from bootable drive. Still question mark sign appears after working fine for few days. Really tired and irritated from this issue. Need your help guys, what could be the problem?
Mine won't allow me to hold cmd and r for the recovery mode, keeps bringing up a padlock or a flashing question mark with a folder for me. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
Great, thank you in advance. I'm reading comments before I turn it on to do this. My New Mac was only two months old. I plugged my IBM back in. That was two years ago! So, I have no familiarity.
I wish my screen wasn't broken. Cause i have the question mark that i can see on my external monitor. But whenever u try to enter the recovery mode there is no way to switch the image to the external monitor. This drives me crazy. Do you know any possible solution ?
I tried doing these steps however I got stuck after selecting a wifi network. I don’t know if it’s because i only tried connecting thru mobile hotspot. Should it really be wifi?
This video is legit. It helped bring my MacBook back to life after almost 2 years. It’s easy to follow. Thank you. I’m open to helping anyone that has additional questions
I wish I could see the screen closer to see the steps you are doing. That would really help
