My old MacBook was broken like this for months. I couldn't repair it with any tutorials I watched. So today I finally decide to give it a shot again, and then this guide perfectly fixed my laptop! Thank you so much!!!
I've been mildly depressed for the last 7 hours trying to figure out why in hell I ruined my Macbook... But stumbling on this video is like a new lease of life. Thank you so much bro. New follower from Kenya for sure. ✌️
If this doesn’t work for you try (Option + Command + R) go to disk utility, select the top one, run first aid, if pass or fail click erase, format “APFS”! Once’s done with that reinstall macOS
I don't leave comments often, but your video deserved the recognition. I was able to fix my mistake when I was trying to wipe my computer before giving it to a family member. This worked like a charm. Thanks, this was better than the first 15 I watched. I used the extended (journaled) instead of the exfat, but followed the same steps and voila !!! Thanks again.
Young man, I was sh*t scared because I accidentally deleted the startup disk when I was tryng to figure out this mac. This is the first time ever that Ive ever used a mac. Your video saved me from getting a proper flogging from my wife. Wherever you are now, I hope you've been doing great things.
This still works and a real lifesaver. Appreciate it kid! Untitled did not show and had to do the same process twice chose erase Journaled and Untitled finally showed. The error with mine said must be a GUID Partition. You saved my MacBook Pro, thanks a lot!
For anyone that has this issue, I had to erase as Exfat, restart, and then erase again as mac os extended (journaled) and then immediately reinstall mac os and it worked.
im absolutely obsessed with this like how have I been searching the internet and otp with apple for so long and this never came up and then I look t your video and its fixed in two seconds
You are an absolute legend my friend. I sold my iMac tonight and have a courier picking it up in the morning, and I’ve been up for the last five hours ripping my hair out after deleting the hard drive and OS! This video really saved my ass thank you so much
Of all the places I searched in the past several days, including mac expert websites, your video was the most helpful. I needed to fix my iMac 2017. I had to do a few things differently than what you explained. First, I needed to select MAC OS Journaled when erasing and reformatting. I checked everything after that with First Aid, as you stated, and all went well (finally). I didn't need to reboot. I just closed Disc Utility and begin the re-installation of OS. Now I'm back in and downloading all the updates. Things are working again. Thank you so much for your video. It helped me the most. 😃

If trying to recover through the internet have in mind that the apple servers have some connectivity restrictions and not keen allowing home routers and wifi connectivity based on the article at www.idownloadblog.com/2016/02/25/how-to-start-up-your-mac-in-internet-recovery-mode/ Make a hotspot on your iPhone that will allow you to connect to apple's servers via 4G as I did connect and it will allow you to download a disk utility for restoring your system based on the device you have. Then watch other videos or go to apple/support and search-related tips for restoring your Mac!! All the best !!! Tip "DON'T" try to change your router's settings believe me your problems are going to grow exponentially !!!
Then you have to turn off you mac then hold either option shift r p or cmd shift r then you should go to internet recovery then wait untill it opens up and you see options click on disk uitilty then click on your hard drive click verify then repair the go to erase then name your hard and erase after your done click the x the reinstall mac os x agree and wait untill its done now you might have to do this a lot of times it might work on first try maybe not but just keep trying untill it finishes then just reset you mac and it should work if this helped please like and tell if you have a problem Thanks!
Just when I thought all hope was lost, this fixed my MacBook!!! Mine is a 2017 MacBook Pro. I had to use MacOS Extended (Journaled) and GUID Partition Map though. Thank you so so so much!
I have the same MBP 2017 and reformatting in journaled nor in exfat worked for me. It still give me an error at the end of trying to download macos Sierra. Any suggestions?

Oh man I had high hopes and thought it would work for me. I chose the exfat and then restarted but when I went to install high sierra, a disk didn’t pop up (Mac HD) for me to continue the install. I then restarted again to try to erase as “Journaled” version but now the only internal disk that pops up is “Apple SSD SM0256L Media” and no other discs not even the AppleAPFSMedia
UPDATE: tried @MikeWaltonVideos comment and the disk popped up to continue with installation. Then it said “this disk doesn’t use GUILD Partition Map (which I didn’t select, I selected “Apple Partition Map” as per his video edit.
UPDATE: tried again except selected “GUID Partition Map” instead and it at least tried installing MacOS Sierra however right at the end said “An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again.” Tried again and same error message at the 16 seconds remaining mark. *Sigh*
I did all this and even did what other comments said and it’s didn’t work:/ it keeps saying “error etc etc please try reinstalling again” when I try to reinstall MacOS. Not what I did but I erased both the Macintosh HD & the first Apple option as well…. Then I had the usual Apple with the Untitled folder both erased with journaled option….. shits been messed up ever since!

Hello, Thank you for this video. I did below steps and still stuck 1. Formatted Disk just like how you did via AFFFS 2. Restart Systems 3. Pressed Command + R , and provided wifi password And since than i am not getting any other option to get into the system. There is no option to get into recovery mode. Please help.
I was so excited to see this video. You are right there is nothing out there that explains it better than you. However, I am still stuck. I tried to erase in exfat mode and also in journaled mode and mounted, then tried to reinstall macOS Sierra on my MBP 2017. It still gives me an error at the end. I even tried to rename the drive as "Macintosh HD" both in fat and journaled mode but still to no avail. Very sad and frustrated. Help please!

Hey Youngblood. My problem is I'm replacing the HDD in my MacBook Pro 17" mid 2010 with a brand new 2TB Crucial SSD. I'm using the online Recovery Method. I formatted the SSD as APFS.

I am trying to reinstall after deleting it previously for a new owner for my laptop. Now I want to install the OS. It keeps on giving me error saying "an error occurred when preparing the installation". Changed the date and time still nothing. So I am trying to start from the beginning by erasing everything again. APFS is greyed out. When I choose Mac OS extended journaled, it gives me an error.

Mine says This disk doesn't use the GUID
Partition Table scheme. Use Disk Utility to change the partition scheme Select the disk, choose the Partition tab, select the Volume Scheme and then click
Thankyou dude I can now give my laptop to my dad 😊❤
My utility opens at Mac OS X.. the options are not the same and its much older.. I dont know what to do
Can u help me pleaseee😭😭 I got the MacBook 2016 and I’m trying reset and it’s showing the flashing drive and it says there no dysk or whatever it won’t let me reinstall the update like new
It says it’s been reinstalled to many times
*I never regret working with SERGTOOLZ at 1nsta, all my lock Mac got fixed*
I follow the steps but it won’t allowed me to run first aid 😢
I don't have anything that says "AppleAPFSMedia". Any suggestions?
Check if your drive is functioning correctly, if there's nothing in the disk utility at all it is most likely a faulty drive.
I am trying to reinstall after deleting it previously for a new owner for my laptop. Now I want to install the OS. It keeps on giving me error saying "an error occurred when preparing the installation".
Changed the date and time still nothing.
So I am trying to start from the beginning by erasing everything again. APFS is greyed out. When I choose Mac OS extended journaled, it gives me an error.
I have a similar problem. APPLEAPFS doesn't even show on mine.
Okay I had a lot of problems but at the end i fixed it, if anyone wants me to help reply to this comment, but before i help you… if you do not see a disk you can install the macOS to, remove the macbook SSD (remove hardware) and put it back in, then reply
It’s not showing a hard drive for me to install in
