Error -2003F while Internet Recovery Mode Command+R when Boot

I was trying to install Kali Linux but the problem is that i cant boot Mac os, even if i press ALT to go into Recovery mode i cant see any HDD,so i am trying to restore it from COMMAND + R (INTERNET RECOVERY MODE) BUT AM GETTING AN ERROR: -2003F

Usually, that means either you have no internet connection established or your model does not support Internet Recovery. Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery.

  • HT4718 Is it possible to back up files onto an external hard drive while in internet recovery mode?

    This morning, upon starting up my MacBook, I was greeted with the lovely gray screen. I'm in internet recovery mode and have attempted to repair my disk, but it's too damaged according to the disk utility. So, I'm going to have to reinstall OS X Lion. I'm worried about losing my files and bought a 500gb external hard drive in hopes that I can back up my files while in recovery mode and then erase and reinstall the operating system
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup; 10.7 or later), from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup; 10.7.2 or later), or from your installation disc (C key at startup; 10.6.8 or earlier.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    How to back up and restore your files
    2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • 2106f Error Code after Internet Recovery Attempt

    Anyone ever get a 2106f Error Code after Internet Recovery Attempt? What next?
    Background: Macbook Pro (late 2011) shows startup progress bar, goes ~ 1/10th of distance, freezes, then goes black after ~2min. Did this:
    1. Clean startup attempt (shift)
    2. Zapped PRAM (option command P R)
    3. Reset SMC, Startup
    4. Attempted Internet Recovery process (Cmd R) over ethernet connection, but after several hours, got the -2106F error.
    MacBook Pro 2.2 i7 Late 2011

    How long were you able to watch this movie before it crashed?
    Now is it everytime you boot up, you get the BSOD  0xc0000001 ?
    Can you start up in SAFE MODE?

  • Iphone will not respond after trying to put it into DFU mode while in recovery mode.

    I tried to restore my iphone 4 and recieved error 21 in itunes, while in recovery mode I tried to put it into DFU mode and then it turned off and wont turn back on or be recognized by itunes or pc. I tried doing a hard reset and no luck. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • 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...?????

  • Get files while in recovery mode

    My macbook pro has crashed and as a result I can only boot the recovery partition. I'm wondering if there is a way to transfer my files from my hard drive to a flash drive while in recovery mode. It is a 13' macbook pro that was running lion. Thanks.

    I would do that but the iPod doesn't show up in iTunes at all it just says those drivers are loaded. Won't shot up in My Computer or in the device manager part of Manage --> My Computer.
    Any other suggestions?

  • My air is getting exclamation point in internet recovery mode

    my macbook air is getting exclamation point during internet recovery mode? help?

    Reset the TC to factory and start again.
    Use all SMB type names for wireless and base station.. Not apple type names.. this is more important since Mavericks.
    I also recommend different names for the different bands.
    So for example.
    TC name.. TCgenx (I use whatever the generation number is for the x.. eg TCgen4 or latest one TCgen5)
    WIreless name.. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
    TC5ghz for 5ghz
    You can also set the channel manually.
    If you still have issues.. start with no security and then if it fails to connect there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. Did you upgrade install Mavericks?? That can lead to driver issues.. I would recommend a clean install.

  • My wifi not detected in Internet Recovery mode

    I am trying to reinstall the OS, and got into Internet Recovery mode, and got a list of Wifi networks to select, but my own was not one of them.  I even clicked "Other" (or something like that) to enter the SSID and passphrase, but that was rejected.  I am now piggy-backing on a nearby wifi, with all the risks that entails.  Why won't my Mac see my own Wifi?  (Everything else in the house sees "five bars", including my wife's Macbook Air and my iPhone.)

  • After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 ota, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset! My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it .

    After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 from 7.1 over the air, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active, or try again later. My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it, as well as an arrow pointing at the Itunes logo. After holding the sleep button down or even doing the hard reset the same screen comes up on my phone regardless of whether it is plugged in or not to my computer. I have turned my computer off and on again. It is plugged in and charging as it's battery life is very short. I also reset my modem and the same error message pops up. The only option on my computer when my phone is plugged in is to restore it. My firewall also allows Itunes through it. I have literally tried everything I know being someone who knows very little about technology. I also do not want to hear about how the update worked for other people. My phone has been in recovery mode for 5 hours at least now so it will just make me more frustrated if a bunch of people post about how the update worked for them.

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

  • When I tried to back up my computer, Time Machine says 'an error occurred while creating the backup folder.' When I check the side of the partition where I manually saved old files, the folders are there, but NONE of the files are.

    I haven't backed up my computer in over a year. When I tried to back it up today, Time Machine says 'an error occurred while creating the backup folder.' When I check the side of the partition where I manually saved old photos and documents (including all the pictures from the year I studied abroad/traveled a bunch), the folders are there, but NONE of the files are.
    Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be, or how I could fix it? I really don't want to lose all those photos

    So you were doing a time machine backup to another partition on the same hard drive? Just trying to gather some information so i can provide a helpful response.
