Broken screen, erased main disk, cannot boot to Recovery Mode to reinstall OS X

I am using a MacBook Air from around 2010, not really sure what version of the OS was on it prior to erasing. The screen is broken so I have to either duplicate the screen or use clamshell mode to see anything. When booting in Recovery Mode by holding Command + R, the only option is to use clamshell mode with an external monitor because otherwise only a gray screen is shown.
My issue is a result of erasing the main disk while in Recovery Mode and then shutting down the MacBook. I turned the computer back on assuming I could use clamshell and Recovery Mode to reinstall the OS but unfortunately this isn't working and I can't get anything to display on the external monitor.
I cannot use Target Disk Mode from another Mac because there is no FireWire port and there is also no Ethernet port.
This leads me to these questions in trying to figure out how to reinstall OS X:
- Is it not possible to boot in Recovery Mode after erasing the main disk?
- Is it not possible to use clamshell mode after erasing the main disk?
I have also tried booting while holding Command + Option + R to use Internet Recovery or booting while holding just Option, there was still nothing to be displayed on the external monitor after closing the lid to switch to clamshell mode.
I'm stuck, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

FYI:
I have tried booting into Single User Mode, using fsck to repair permissions, but to no avail. However in the Single User Mode I did notice something unusual. When trying to reboot using the command 'exit', a long list of errors came out.
Most were Library/Extensions/... .kext is not authentic; omitting from prelinked kernel.
Some errors were ...: No such file or directory
And afterwards the errors were stuck there and no reboot occurred. I also couldn't type anything.

MacBook Pro OSX 10.9- Cannot boot into recovery mode or use USB bootdisk

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9. I want to re-install the operating system, however the computer freezes when being booted into recovery mode or when rebooting into a USB boot disk. Either the spinner freezes or it moves to a screen with just the Apple logo.
Thanks in advance

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

Cannot boot into Recovery Mode but need to reinstall OS X, any suggestions?

My Mac boot is stuck at the Apple logo with a progress bar, and even when booting Recovery Mode (Command+R) it is stuck. Hence I don't think I can use Internet Recovery to reinstall OS X. Do you guys have any suggestions as to what to do? Thanks!

I cannot boot into safe mode

I cannot boot into safe mode
I ran onxy, all appeared ok,
I booted from installer DVD,- repaired the drive, - nothing wrong with the drive,
and repaired disk permissions, twice, as a few permissions were incorrect
The only app which automatically logs in user account is KeyCue, and has done so always, and I don't know what what it belongs to. Nothing logs in automatically in the admin account.
I intermittently have a problem with DVDs not mounting, and a safe boot fixes the problem.

further to being unable to boot in safe mode-
normally when i boot in safe mode, when its starts up and reaches the login screen, above this are the words in red safe boot. As the words were missing from the login screen I had assumed that I was not in safe boot. I currently have about 94 GB of HD space. Other than this booting process appears to be normal. What prompted the safe boot was a DVD which mounted ok on insert, had unmounted when I went to eject, a restart and holding down the shift key ejected the disk, and I then tried to do the safe boot. Since I ran disk utility from the installer disk the same DVD has mounted and ejected just fine. The vanishing disk problem started 4-5 months ago, and has always been fixed by a safe boot

Cannot boot into safe mode

Have a later '09 MP (3.3 quad). Aside from the main OS drive, I formatted a separae drive with a fresh OS and still cannot boot into Safe Mode from either drive. It does start to enter Safe Mode but the progress bar ends about a third way through and the MP restarts. Even tried disconnecting all externals and restarting into Safe Mode. No diff. Note, there is no separte chime when starting the OS (hasn't been for quite some time). Though, there is a multiple chime (3) when resetting the PRAM. Also did the SMC reset. An suggestions or idea?

Three beeps on startup means there is a problem with the memory. Try removing and reseatng each memory module. If that is still a problem, look at your memory map from the apple menu, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Memory and see if each module shows correctly.

Disk Utility in Internet Recovery mode cannot properly detect new hard drive

I intend to format my new hard rive and install OS X into it.
Here is my problem, I bought a new 1TB HGST 7200rpm hard disk and put into the macbook. I boot up under Internet recovery mode, under the disk utility I tried format to MacOS Extended Journaled but it takes ages (stuck for more than 15 minutes). I simply just cannot get the macbook to read the drive under disk utility from Internet recovery mode.
Here are the things that I have tried:
1. Boot the MacBook from old drive, successfully use the disk utility to zero out format (MacOS Extended Journaled) with 1 partition (GUID). But when I boot the Mac under Internet recovery mode, the disk utility simply cannot mount the drive.
2. Restore the new drive (as an external drive) from the old drive using disk utility, successfully restore. I could startup the new disk as an external drive, but when I put it into the Mac it shows flashing folder. I waited for more than 30 minutes, the flashing folder just stays there.
3. Boot the MacBook on Internet recovery mode and connect the new drive as external drive, no problem. I reinstall OS X into it but it midway it stop and error message says something like cannot add additional components.
Not sure what is the problem, I think I have exhausted all method. There is no issue with the new hard drive and MacBook.

The MacBook is early 2013. It came with 1TB Mountain Lion, I left the DVD in my country so I don't have it with me. How do I download the installer? the Mac App Store only lets me upgrade the OS to Maverick.
I have tried to restore the new drive from my old drive, but the only way is to use Internet Recovery. The Disk Utility boot from the old drive OS (Mountain Lion) does not allow me to restore my new hard drive from the old (current boot) drive, the message instruct me to use the Internet recovery mode. From here I can see my new drive format as GUID, but when I boot to Internet Recovery the Disk Utility recognised my new drive format as Master Boot Record instead of GUID...?????

IMac will not boot in recovery mode

I have tried to boot into recovery mode (CMD-R) in Mavericks. I tried with my hard drive and a Mac Install disk. Disk utility has grayed out the erase option except for unused space. Can't partition either. I am attempting to donate to my church. They will use their Apple ID to load their current OSX. Help

If you still have the Install OS X Mavericks.app file from the App Store or can download it again, you can recreate your Mavericks Recovery HD using the Recovery Partition Creator 3.7 utility and the Install OS X Mavericks.app.

Mac keeps booting into Recovery mode

HI,
my macbook pro mid 2009 keeps booting into recovery mode,
if I select primary disk in recovery mode or at boot holding shift it quickly showes crossed out circle instead of an apple at boot screen than boots into recovery mode again.
I have repair permessions, repaired disk (no errors) and reset pram but no luck.
Is there anything alse I can try?
Thank you.

Looks like some files might be damaged. You will likely have to reinstall the operating system. I hope you have a back up of your data.

HT4718 Are there alternate ways to boot in recovery mode?

The original problem: 2007 era Macbook Pro display goes bad.
Solution: We bought a new macbook pro. It was time for an upgrade.
The opportunity: We decided to connect the old pro to an external display and use it in clamshell mode and set it up for the kids to use.
I attempted to delete my wife's user account, yet the machine still shows 88 gigs used when clearly the two new users I set up (one administrator) are not using so much. I thought if I could reinstall OSX that my problems would be solved. Not only am I not worried about losing data in a reinstall - I want to.
The current problem: I cannot boot this mac into recovery mode while it is in Clamshell.
I am using a wireless apple keypoard, but can really only boot up using the restart option as the power button is closed up in the clamshelled laptop. But when I do that it appears to me that the wireless keyboard is not connecting in time for the recovery mode to catch.
I thought the simple solution would be to open up the old beast and use the actual power button. Good news is that when I do this, it must boot into recover mode. Bad news is that evidently recovery mode does not allow mirroring of the display. So I cannot actually see my recovery mode. My external display is simply a secondary display - greyed out, and all I can do is wave the cursor back and forth.
So: Are there any alternate ways to boot into recovery mode?

OS X Lion 10.8.2 won't boot into recovery mode

Help! OS X Lion 10.8.2 won't boot into recovery mode, I get a grey screen, the apple icon and the spinning symbol...Does anyone have any suggestions?
Have a MacBook Pro (2009) and had no problems until upgrading to LIon from Snow Leopard... thanks!

Hi there - thanks very much for your suggestion, it did reboot eventually but took a long time to get there.
I've have run Disk Utility. After Verifying the disk it said it needed Repairing - so tried doing that and got the message " Error: Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files" I have got Time Machine but haven't backed-up since Dec 12...Can I use "Restore" to copy the MBP HD to an external HD and then re-install Lion?

How do I boot into recovery mode with wireless keyboard

I am unable to boot into recovery mode using either cmd-R or holding down the alt key. How is it supposed to work?
Message was edited by: Niklas Brunberg (better title)

I understand your concerns - I'm glad both of my machines are dual bootable (just in case) and I have my Snow Leopard install disks..... However, this is what Apple has decided, so we need to find the best way to deal with it. Personally, I've tested the recovery mode several times and, at least on my machine, it was not reliable (i.e. it wouldn't work - I tried it again and it did, but it spent more than an hour downloading the entire 4 GB installer again and then another 30 minutes installing it), and on a third try, I found that it had vanished because I had cloned by drive. When you clone, only your system is cloned, not the extra partition.
So, I've decided to rely on a) my bootable clones and b) a copy of the installer (.dmg) in case my clones fail. I don't feel comfortable relying on something that requires an internet connection and a full download to work. But, that works for me; you may want to take a different approach.

Mountain Lion only boots into Recovery mode after using iCould lock

Hi everyone!
I have searched the forums for hours now, but I can't seen to find an answer to my question, so I'd like to ask it.
Recently my system partition failed due to frequent kernel panics caused by a cable in the screen I think. The kernel panics still occur, but I don't know what to do with them.
I managed to save my files and reinstall my osx, which is Snow Leopard (the disc came with the computer). Then I wanted to install my purchased copy of Lion through Appstore, but it said it's no longer available in my country and I couldn't download it again.
Then I decided to buy a copy of Mountain Lion which I tried to install. I managed to do it, and I tried to explore my new operation system.
I tried the iCloud app as well, including the Lock. It locked the computer, and rebooted, but ever since I couldn't unlock it.
When it asks for the password I enter it and it accepts it, but doesn't unlock, only lets me into Recovery mode. Now I reinstalled the whole thing over again and when the Mountain Lion install finishes, it only boots into the Recovery HD without asking.
So if I reboot my computer, no matter what I do it only boots into Recovery Mode.
Please help!!
Mike

I was afraid the Apple Store wasn't going to be an option.
Based on your previous post, I was under the impression you could download Mountain Lion, but when you installed it, it locked up again. Not true?
I don't know how to remove it. You can try contacting Apple support through the link below to see if they can help you get this unlocked.

IMac9,1 Fusion Drive - booting in recovery mode

Hi,
after installing a Fusion Drive on my iMac early 2009 3.06Ghz with ML 10.8.2, i'm not able to boot into recovery mode by hold cmd+R.
The temporary solution is press cmd+R just after resetting the NVRAM with cmd+option+P+R.
This operation must be repeated each time i want to go into the recovery.
I don't know if this is a bug of my iMac.

Yes, i made a "Fusion Drive" by joining my SSD 256GB + HHD 1TB. I follows one of some guides presents on the web. The system works well apart that i'm not able to reboot in recovery mode on startup with cmd+R.
At the end the "Fusion Drive" is only two core storage volume fused togheter nothing of new.
For the new mac mini this software technology is already available to the public and my fusion drive works like mac mini's "Fusion Drive" (read this: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/11/fusion-drive-quick-look-our-predictions-con firmed/)

My MacBook won't boot into recovery mode after new hard drive installation. Please help!

I just installed a new hard drive. On boot it keeps on going to the flashing folder with a question mark inside.
I was able to format the new hard drive but am unable to boot into recovery mode to install the operating system over the air.
When I hold down Command -R it keeps on taking me to the flashing folder.
Please help!

A new hard drive doesn't have a recovery partition. It's totally blank.You're going to need either your original install discs or a Snow Leopard retail disc from which partition, format and install OS X.

Satellite A200 - Cannot boot from Recovery disk - code 1

I have Vista business and my laptop is currently running slow and is full of rubbish.
I have in the past used my recovery disc to completely re-install vista and start from a fresh version.
However, i have tried this time and it says that it cannot boot from cd - code 1.
Can someone tell me what this is and how to re-install vista?

Hmm... so its definitely not a ODD issue but there is something wrong with the shipped CDs. From my knowledge this error would appear if the CD would NOT be bootable!
Its strange for me that this notebook has been preinstalled with the Vista business.
Usually the notebooks are preinstalled with Vista Home Premium and usually you have to create the own Recovery disk using the preinstalled tool called Toshiba recovery Disk Creator.
Anyway, if you are not able to boot from these disks then you would need other disks.
You could order it from the ASP in your country or from this page:
