1) make sure your keyboard is plugged-in. 2) you may have a bad connection on the HD. (I have repaired MANY systems where the connector was bad, or the connector wasn't plugged-in all the way.

And I have to admit that I had to go through all the methods until I got to the "final" one (after which what would one do?) which worked. Thank you so very much.
My MacBook Pro late 20 13 15 inch it takes a while for the screen to display a blue folder with a question mark I try or troubleshooting keys like command R, command option R, all and nothing shows up in the screen just a blue folder with?

OMG - You saved me with this video. I was convinced my MacBook Air (2012) was toast. Stuck in boot loop hell. Could not get to internet recovery. It would start and then go to a warning triangle (apple/support under it). I tried every trick (Command, option, shift, P, S,R) for the last 4 days and nothing worked. Was shopping for a new Air all day and ready to bite the bullet. BUT, your video where you said to hold the Command R key down a long time was what got me to the repair part and internet recovery. I guess I was not holding it down long enough. All my stuff (favs, iTunes) is still on it. 30 minutes and counting. Almost ready for it to crash and burn again like it is too good to be true. Fingers crossed. THANK YOU!!!

After trying all of the previous 3-4 fixes to no avail, the Disk Utility repair worked for me. It took a while. I gave up waiting for it and took a nap. When I awoke-Presto! Problem solved! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this tutorial video. It fixed my MacBook Pro 2011. I updated my Mac to os high sierra and after few days of using it, my macbook hanged up and will not open. With the help of this tutorial video, I restored my Mac to it’s previous OS. I tried the last resort method. Thank you so much.

This is what happened to me today. My mac was working normal and then it started Lagging Like CRAZY and then i hard reseted it and then it was so slow and i was logging in and it froze for a bit but the the screen went black and the cursor was still there and idk what to do.if I reinstall OS X what will happen to my applications
I was almost lost when the command R button didn’t bring up the utility screen but I was determined so I did command, option , P, R upon boot up after hard reset then another hard reset and command, option, R. I held it during bootup and it took me to a internet recovery screen with a 3D world spinning. Then it allowed me to connnect to WiFi and next cane the utility screen!!! Then I hit restore to reinstall software waited about 10min or less and voila! It worked!!! Thank you!!!
Even when i reinstall my os, it will download after 40 minutes and then when it trys to start up, the loading bar goes to full but stays there, and i left it for hours and it stays at full with nothing happening, I’ve tried all the solutions he said, but they haven’t worked. Any advice?
This is a terrific video, thanks for taking the time to make it. I just forward it to a friend of mine who was having trouble with his MacBook Pro. You saved his butt.💪🏻😎
Thank you for this dude! I was stuck for over 18 hours hoping the updates would finish but I kept going to the same point. I'm currently reinstalling the OS and I hope it works. Thank you.
None of these are working... what should I do? No matter which way I do it, it just gets stuck on the booting up screen, whether it stops at some point or just stays at 100% and does nothing. But I can’t get back into my mac. Plus it never backed up at all. I can’t reinstall the OS X because I only have one drive, and it won’t allow me to use it. I can’t tell if I’m screwed or not. I had a bunch of Logic Pro X files on there, plus I spent a lot of time on Steam. It started on Christmas. I have a used MacBook Pro (or Air, I’m not really sure, as the text under the screen says pro, but when the computer refers to itself in files it says air), from 2012. I was playing Terraria on Steam, when everything was really laggy. That was unusual, so I was confused. Eventually, the whole thing ended up crashing. Now I’m here. Please someone help, I really need my laptop back!

Got a problem... Got up to just after the second chime and it popped up with the hard-drive selections as you showed, well selection... I've only got "Macintosh HD" and that's it... Any solutions on how to get the second drive??
Great video but i am now stuck. Disk could not be repaired so tried an os reinstall from recovery mode. I connected to the internet but the mac took High Sierra as the os to use and the last osx was mountain lion (i think, but it was quite an old version). I am not sure if it is even a good idea to use high sierra or even possible on such an old macbook pro. I think you need to have firstly upgraded to sierra. Anyway. Now it is stuck on the "select the disk where you want to install macOS" page. There are no disk images appearing. Now the OS is half installed i am thinking it could be more difficult to make a backup or to install the best osx for this mac.
I found out that to reinstall the os x so that it gives you the version you had before you need to hold shift + option/alt + command + R and restart the machine. Unfortunately once i got to the osx lion install screen the HD would not show up although it can be seen in disk utility. the error was "Incorrect number of thread records" The best i could do so far is to download lion to a flash drive that i formatted. Next i will try to format an external HD and try to restore the faulty HD to the external drive. I can boot from other external drives on that machine (clones) so the machine is ok, i would just like to try to save the data ;( I think the drive might have taken a shock. It was out of the machine for a while while i was using the machine to run the HD from my laptop which took a liquid spill. Now that the other machine is all back together the HD seems to have failed. V frustrating as it is not my computer or HD i just borrowed it so i could keep using the system from my machine.
Update: I took my iMac to the Apple store, got an appointment (FREE) they showed me how to transfer all my data off my mac to an external hard drive, now I am going to go back to wipe and reinstall Sierra OS. Their advice "Don't update your OS to the newest version, don't be the guinea pig It's made for the latest technology available," I was running High Sierra which basically overwhelmed my 2012 iMac. Target disk mode: Hold "T" on startup, which turns your mac into a hard drive and does not boot the OS, allows the transfer of files from old mac. (I did not need to login or anything).
Lizbeth Martin i went to apple store they told me that it can't be fixed. The hard disk is damaged. If i want them to fix it I will loose all the data. 😢
You could remove your hard disk and possible get an external enclosure to then use another computer to copy your data onto a healthy hard drive. I don't know if this will work though..
Thank you so much. Losing my Mac during the pandemic might have just a little too much. You saved me.

I’m so frustrated with my MAC. It’s stock on the loading bar. I have left it load for 30 minutes, however it didn’t open
maeie4 SAME
Solution?
@@gingerpigeon did?*
I did the disk utility (command R) and it worked but then the iMac shut off again later that day. Now I can't get the command R to work to do attempt a restore OS X. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
I went through all of the steps and the final one worked! GOD bless you! I thought I was screwed with my local Apple store being closed due to COVID!
PLEASE what if I already did all those and it opens up to where I write my password then it gets stuck?

first try commnad +P+R then try long press Options button at the startup, second one worked for me.

@@rajeevbajaj3000 LOL . I'm reading this as my other hand is forever holding down the command-r keys.... and, it's 2:49 am.....
a2179 won't pass mac logo... progress meter fills up then hangs... google isn't proving much use, nor the apple care line. 2 reps said they couldn't pinpoint issue and suggested apple store 200km away so that's where i'm going looks like. any ideas?
helped me recover some nostalgic billion year old files, thanks!
What do you do if the first aid tab is greyed out on Macintosh HD?
Mount the disk - Its probably grey because your disk isn't mounted
this is happening to me too. clicked on mount, erase, and reinstall but it’s taking forever. just wondering if you’ve already figured it out?
Worked for me!!! Cmd + alt + P + R + Start button (release all after the second booting)
I have an Imac 2011. I went into disk utilities and did the repair and it wasn't able to repair it. What can I do to fix that?
While booting up Mac get switch off what you think I need to do please tel me thanks
I always end on the loading screen with the apple logo
Me too
Tru Tecknique have you found a solution, same thing happens to me
I haven't
New hard drive needed...?
Got a problem... Got up to just after the second chime and it popped up with the hard-drive selections as you showed, well selection... I've only got "Macintosh HD" and that's it... Any solutions on how to get the second drive??
Nothing works.
Great video but i am now stuck. Disk could not be repaired so tried an os reinstall from recovery mode. I connected to the internet but the mac took High Sierra as the os to use and the last osx was mountain lion (i think, but it was quite an old version). I am not sure if it is even a good idea to use high sierra or even possible on such an old macbook pro. I think you need to have firstly upgraded to sierra.
Anyway. Now it is stuck on the "select the disk where you want to install macOS" page. There are no disk images appearing.
Now the OS is half installed i am thinking it could be more difficult to make a backup or to install the best osx for this mac.
I found out that to reinstall the os x so that it gives you the version you had before you need to hold shift + option/alt + command + R and restart the machine. Unfortunately once i got to the osx lion install screen the HD would not show up although it can be seen in disk utility.
the error was "Incorrect number of thread records"
The best i could do so far is to download lion to a flash drive that i formatted. Next i will try to format an external HD and try to restore the faulty HD to the external drive.
I can boot from other external drives on that machine (clones) so the machine is ok, i would just like to try to save the data ;(
I think the drive might have taken a shock. It was out of the machine for a while while i was using the machine to run the HD from my laptop which took a liquid spill.
Now that the other machine is all back together the HD seems to have failed. V frustrating as it is not my computer or HD i just borrowed it so i could keep using the system from my machine.
THANK YOU THANK YOU I WAS GOING TO TRY TO FIX IT AND TELL MY MOM I DIDNT BUT NOW ITS FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will reinstalling OS will delete any files saved on disk ? I can’t afford to to lose any file bro… I’ve macbook pro mid- 2012 model
My mac gets stuck at %100 when i boot up
Lucas Soliman mine too... did you solved it?
Mine too, 2012, 100%, tried everything, Apple store next step?
At Last image disc saved and reinstal SO... that was my next step :(
Update: I took my iMac to the Apple store, got an appointment (FREE) they showed me how to transfer all my data off my mac to an external hard drive, now I am going to go back to wipe and reinstall Sierra OS. Their advice "Don't update your OS to the newest version, don't be the guinea pig It's made for the latest technology available," I was running High Sierra which basically overwhelmed my 2012 iMac.
Target disk mode: Hold "T" on startup, which turns your mac into a hard drive and does not boot the OS, allows the transfer of files from old mac. (I did not need to login or anything).
At Last ooops! At least you saved you hard drive. Cheers ;)
For a NON iMac keyboard. What would be the equivalent to the “command key”?
Thank you, the first one worked for me : ")
I tried to reinstall macOS Sierra, it showed me 'No bag entry'.
This is the most complete explanation of all possible fixes. Worked for me. Thank you man!
It's fixed so thank you.
However, I never want to here the Mac startup noise ever agian
LOL 😆
@3:15 mine is not showing mac HD as an option. It was showing a minute ago though. Now when I do it it’s not there anymore ☹️☹️

Any ideas ? 😞
Farangis Nazaralieva same
Lizbeth Martin i went to apple store they told me that it can't be fixed. The hard disk is damaged. If i want them to fix it I will loose all the data. 😢
You could remove your hard disk and possible get an external enclosure to then use another computer to copy your data onto a healthy hard drive. I don't know if this will work though..
Sridhar Poguluru it does work
