How to do Internet Recovery

[@MattTalkTech]

Have you ever had to use Internet Recovery on your Mac or going to try it after this video? Let me know how it goes!

[@nolanswiger694]

Yes

[@Mudgrease]

[@Xstrattous]

Matt I'm trying to get into the internet recovery mode but it won't go to it

[@anonymoususer6524]

not working for me, always unable to download additional components

[@AK-ro4gm]

@matt Please HELP!! following your instructions, my macbook 12" is stuck on the loading screen after the spinning globe. I have tried everything but nothing seems to boot up my mac.
The freezing and lagging started after I set up another user in my mac one week ago. I ran hardware diagnosctics and everything is fine.
Tried CMD + R and it stucks on loading bar and restarts. I tried the nvme Ram reset and still nothing. Also tried the Shift + Alt + Control + Power button and nothing works.
I power up the mac and when i type the password on either one of my users, and it stucks on the loading bar, just as it stuck now, during the Internet Recovery.
P.S. When it was freezing and lagging dome days ago, i tried installing the new software update Catalina 10.15.7. It stuck. And I restarted. Since than I cant boot up my laptop, every process i try, except hardsware diagnostics, cannot finish.
Do you have any idea what Can I Do?

Hi Matt
I'm trying to factory reset my imac I've got as far as the that says catalina will be installed it started at 23 minutes and then it jumped to 6hrs and 3mins can you tell me why its counting down real slow

[@Zoe-bx1ei]

I was given a mac, running Catalina 10.15. I did the reset via disk utility. Removed it all well, started installing os then it stopped and it’s not on internet recovery but not getting any further. Any suggestions?

[@Op_nola]

Really helpful thanks buddy keep up the good job ❤

[@birulondon]

Hey hi Matt my macbook pro 2011 got stuck on white screen after the internet globe and apple logo. I am not getting the utility disk thing. Please help

[@benniethai7829]

Same as me, it downloaded then just went white. Sat here staring at it

[@ViceCityExtra]

Do you recommend using internet recovery to erase ssd and reinstall latest?
Or using local recovery mode and erase ssd and reinstall current?
I take it shift+option+command+R is not supposed to be used cause it will be original version which is way too old version.

[@loulamb7935]

Thank you for your detailed video!!!!!

[@black1718]

Internet recovery issue on MacBook Pro 💻 🙏 great video

when I reinstall the macOS stage it greys out after I agree with the terms it says 'Checking all disks' with a blue progress bar which moves. After a while it greys out and stops moving and never completes. Any advice? Thanks

[@richtaylor6773]

what if you did this but the mac didnt have internet access? Is there a way to add wifi in during this process (assuming the HD has already been erased)?

[@kill4life54]

if you do this to get rid of viruses or malware would it be possible there is still something left after cleaning ur disk ?

[@gaminggranny53]

Thank you!

[@pratikslife]

But after deleting the old os all files also be deleted right?

[@LiamplayzGT]

Macbook Pro 13'' Mid 2012 A1278 didnt work on me :( i wish you could help me

[@loukiae6121]

Same

[@shanmukhayya]

Hey Matt.... Thanks for the video pal.... Could you please tell in the future videos about what actually is happening when there's something going on the screen?
Like in this video... 1. You pressed ALT(OPTION)+CMD+R to start internet recovery.... What the globe that keeps rotating means? What the progress bar that's there beneath indicates? What's actually happening then in the background?
2. Why did you erase the disk? Would IR be successful if you don't erase the disk? Is there a video for IR where the container disk is not erased?
3. A fresh copy of latest macOS that's compatible for that hardware is downloaded from Apple server in this process. When exactly that happens? I mean, at what stage in the video?
Would you be kind enough to answer these questions?
Regards,
Your pal

[@waqasprince3763]
