If you guys having a macbook error which says support.apple.com/mac/Startup. -1008F you can follow the video step by step and you will be able to get in the recovery mode.
I have been trying to restore my 2018 MacBook Pro with the 1008F error for over a week following different youtube videos instructions that got me nowhere. Your video instructions worked flawlessly for my MacBook. Thank you.
I still can’t believe it i was about to sell my MacBook Pro 2019 , but you saved me bro thank your so much you’re a real deal unlike other fake youtubers.
Your are champ!!!!! thanks for sharing this worked like a charm :)) i was having -1002F while recovering again & again. you saved my day by simply following your tutorial. Great man keep sharing
Thanks! This video is the only thing that fixed it. I’ve read countless of useless docs including one from apple’s own documentation, and even that didn’t help.
EDIT: If your mac is listed in your iCloud account this error is thrown! You need to delete/remove your mac from iCloud and then you will be able to proceed. Not only that but when you recover your mac you need to use option+command+R, otherwise you will still see 1008F error even after removing the mac from iCloud! In my case i get the -1008F error Then I power off, black screen, I turn it on and hold "options" key. Mac loads but I do not see the icon for the hard drive. Only I see is "network", I connect to wireless Then I hold option, control and R at the same time and I am redirected to a screen where I see a blue sphere /planet. I do not see the black and white 'world'. No progress bar or nothing. It is just a blue sphere with white lines around it.
@@elemashige3613 Yeah i remember i fixed it and that's why I wrote this comment, I guess. Issue is that I do not remember anything from back then. I had a mac for a while, gave it a try, but didn't really like it and sold it. Usually I talk like a kid and you cannot understand me, so try to re-read the comment and extract as much info as possible, if you cannot translate my Bulgarian English, ping me again, I will try to go along with you.
GUYS I'm now getting it to work via a bit adaption from Chaudhary's case for Monterey! It seems that you gotta quickly press opt+command+R as soon as you are connected to the network, before the blue Internet recovery entrance shows
still not working, same error (-1008F) every time. tried command + option + R as was shown in video, removed MacBook from cloud, turned off find my function and tried EVERYTHING but still.. same error:// -1008F
This is a awesome video! Very informative! But I have an issue with applying that same method as you applied in this video and done it step by step as instructed but my laptop still not letting me boot and load up all the way. What could be the issue?
Rick tive esse problema com meu pc segui oque ele falou e não solucionou meu problema, vc arrumou o seu por esse vídeo? Meu Mac tá dando problema com esse codico
I have a mac mini with same priblem. 1008F. Tried your way. Only shows Internet recovery. I start the Internet recovery and just get the same error again
Hello my friend I have tried your prodcedure and worked. The problem is that I can’t install the OS in my mac. The time of the download is about 2 hours and 20 minutes but with a stable internet connection. Please help me.
Hey Gab, I do understand that you are having a problem installing the OS but in your case the software or the hardware isn't the issue the problem is the internet connection. if you have problem in internet please call your support or the alternative way is that you can go friend house and download it or any public library that will solve the issue of internet connection.
There is problem with internet connection on your side try checking the internet or connect with a different internet connection it will solve the problem

It keeps on coming to recovery mode doesn’t show any drive can you help
yar brother me jab option+command+R press kr ra hu to kuch bhi nae ho ra
please help me out boht days se phasa hua hu koi solution nae nikal ra
When I clicked on option it not bringing any drive to store.
Just internet recovery
Repeat the steps. Sometimes, you just bypass the drive to store or other steps, so if you repeat the steps, I think it will work
Mine gets to almost done and the error comes
My MacBook globe does not spin though
I have a mac mini with same priblem. 1008F. Tried your way. Only shows Internet recovery. I start the Internet recovery and just get the same error again
Same! I used a flash drive to downgrade from Monterey to Catalina and erased my hard drive. I don’t know if the drive is corrupted or what.
Have you solved the problem? I'm having the same error again and again
