    Guys when you reboot your Mac, simultaneously hold down these keys Command + Option + R (not just Apple/Command + R). In the 'Reinstalling MacOS' field, it will offer you Ventura. If you only hold down 'Command + R,' the system takes you to an older recovery setup offering older OS like High Sierra, which Apple no longer supports. That's why you get the message: 'Recovery Server Could Not Be Contacted.' So all that changing the time stuff won't help. Good luck 😊

    alright guys so I'm pretty sure 90% of you guys are stuck in the Mac OS Sierra. turn off your your MAC. then when you turn it on press the option+command+R at the same time till you see a Globe spinning (that is first sign its correct) connect to your wifi. the start up screen should have changed from Sierra to Ventura, if not try again until Ventura is the start up.. then you should be set.

  • @namiyoma

    My Wi-Fi is on and I did the terminal for the date, it still didn’t work for me. I got my macOS by installing it in the internet recovery mode. Shut down your Mac, turn it on again and hold option+command+R until you see the moving globe. Once it finishes loading, it’ll take you back to the same macOS utility page. Click reinstall and it should work, just follow the instructions that come up.
    Well this is what worked for me at least. Hope this helps you all!

    Thank you soooo much Ian for such a helpful video! 🙏🏼 Strangely both troubleshooting solutions did not work for me. I ended up chatting with an Apple Specialist and their recommendation worked which was restarting the MacBook. While the MacBook is restarting (once you see the Apple icon) press and holding the following three keys for several seconds while the computer is restarting: hold down Option + Command + R. This solution worked for me in case it helps anyone else!

      I didn’t install High Sierra since it can’t be gotten from a MacBook using the standard method, so I made myself a USB flash drive with Big Sur
      Searched on Google as "Create a bootable installer for macOS"
      Good luck
      There are also standard methods for reinstalling another system suitable for your Mac:
      Command-R. When you press and hold these two keys at startup, macOS Recovery Mode will prompt you to install the current version of the last installed macOS operating system.
      Option-Command-R. When you press and hold these three keys at startup, macOS Recovery Mode may prompt you to install the latest version of the macOS operating system that is compatible with your Mac.
      Shift-Option-Command-R. When you press and hold these four keys at startup, macOS Recovery Mode may prompt you to install the macOS operating system that came with your Mac or the closest available version.

    The video is fine and all, but the 2 tips on wifi connection and date correction didn not work at all on my MPB late '11. As for others comments in this video, I agree that it seems that MacOS High Sierra is no longer available for Internet Recovery. Need more options to make this work. The final result is the same "Recovery Server Could Not Be Contacted".

      ​@@nkanyisotshwete9547 I am sure the "recovery server could not be contacted" error message has nothing to do with the laptop date because macOS High Sierra is no longer part of Internet Recovery. You can try a few more attempts. When you restart your laptop, you will see the globe (it will also promote you to connect to the internet. Before or after connecting, keep pressing "command + option + R" for few more times or hold these keys for more than 20 seconds, either in the beginning or in the middle of restarting the process. In my case, after this key-pressing process, my screen showed itself the macOS Ventura setup. It took about 30 minutes to load the installation files and finally, I managed to reinstall it. Hope this will work for you.
