  • Install Mavericks from Internet Recovery

    Hi there hope somebody can help me,
    I am trying to install OS X Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 2010 model using the internet recovery as i have no OS installed and no Recovery partition.
    When i try to install Mavericks im asked to login with my apple ID, however i have not activated Mavericks on my account so cannot proceed.
    I dont have access to any other mac to activate the download on my account and my nearest apple store is over a 1 hour drive.
    Please can someone with a Mac create a new apple ID for me and activate Mavericks on it using the mac app store so that i can proceed?
    Thanks
    Jacob

    That is completely false information. The OP has a 2010 Mac notebook that came with Snow Leopard. Even if he can access the Online Internet Recovery system from that 2010 model (Some can and Some Can NOT) he still would not be able to install any of the Downloaed Only version of OS X (Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks)
    He needs the Original System Reinstall DVD disc Set that came with his system or a Replacement set of them.

    This update enables Lion Recovery from an Internet connection on MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) models. After you install Lion you can  download the new OS X Mavericks. There is free upgrade option in the Mac App store.

  • What version of Lion is available from Internet Recovery?

    hi,
    Is there a way to check beforehand which version of Lion is downloaded when you reinstall the OS through Internet Recovery. On 6/2/2012 this is still 10.7.2 even though the version available on the Mac App Store is already at 10.7.3.
    Thanks!

    I just might download it again when I get home.

  • Erased my Harddisk, coudnt reinstall Mac Os Lion from internet recovery as it says "Could not find installation information on this Machine"

    Hi, i just got this Macbook Pro last October and recently i wanted to have a clean install of Mac Os Lion so i erased my harddisk in disc utilities, and found myself unable to install back Mac Os Lion from the internet.. It says 'Coudnt get installation information on this machine', I don't think my internet is the issue as ive tried installating it in both of my houses :/. Tried asking my friend.. he ended up screwing things up in Disc Utilities. If i recall carefully.. My Disc utilities used to look like this
    500GB Toshiba Harddisk
    -Macintosh HD
    -Disk1
    Mac OX Base System
    but now its just
    500gb Toshiba Harddisk
    -Mac OX Base System
    Sorry if i don't know what i'm talking about as i'm quite new to using a Mac and any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    The fix is to use Disk Utiilty to make the Lion Partition a tiny bit smaller.

  • HT4718 I cannot get internet recovery to work at all for my macbook air.

    I somehow or other seem to have completely erased everything and have had to run the internet recover for my macbook air. Im not sure which year model it is. Anyway I am trying to reinstall lion from internet recovery and was using a verizon jetpack. Well it got down to 3 hours 6 mins remaining and that was after about an hour of running (it was actually installing lion for me) then it began going up slowly clear up to three and a half hours. So i decided to try using an ethernet connection and now I cant even get internet recovery to recognize that there is internet and it keeps putting an exclaimation point in the globe and saying -4403F. Ive tried going through the process several times and I am lost. Can someone please help me. I do have an open case with Apple Care but I want to get this up and running tonight if possible and they are closed.

  • Hi, I tried to erase my computer and when I turned it back on it went to internet recovery. How do I get past that step so I can use my computer again?

    I really need this. I am still in school and I have papers due, please anything will help!

    It's not clear what you tried to do or why, but if you intended to wipe everything clean, run the OS X Installer in Internet Recovery. When it's done, the machine will be in the same state as when you took it out of the box, except that the bundled iLife applications will be gone. All your data will be gone too. If that's not what you want, DO NOT follow these instructions.

  • 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...?????

  • MBProRetina 13" not booting from USB to reinstall OS, neither is the Internet Recovery Installation working

    Hi everyone,
    so here's my problem:
    1:
    I'm trying to reinstall OS X 10.8.2 on my MBPr 13" (late 2012) from a USB drive. The USB drive boots a friends older MBP without any problems. However, when I try to boot mine with it the following happens:
    StartUp Disk as well as the Bootmanager at startup show the USB drive's partition as bootable. However when I then try to boot from it I get the no parking sign and thats it.
    I also tried to use a second USB key that is USB3. It also boots my friends MBP. But with mine it doesn't even show it in the Bootmanager at startup. It does however show up as bootable in Start Up Disk.
    2:
    When I use Internet Recovery or boot from the Recovery partition and choose to reinstall Mountain Lion, the download starts, but just before finishing the estimated time goes up to the time it indicated in the beginning again. If I let it run down again, the same thing happens again, and again, and again until eventually the download is canceled after a couple of hours saying that it was impossible to download the necessary files.
    None of these approaches help in my case:

    Help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    I think you may have misunderstood me. You have a Late 2012 model. The version of OS X is 1 0.8.2, but the build number will be a later build than any earlier version of 10.8.2. Like with most OS X versions you cannot install a version of OS X on a new computer if the OS X version is an earlier revision. So, what I was saying is you need to version that came with your computer. The only way to get that is using Internet Restore.
    I suggest you open App Store. On the right under Quick Links is a Support link. Click on that to get assistance with your download issue.

  • Internet Recovery could not find installation information on this machine.

    Hi there I've bought an iMac the latest model as well as the Macbook Air also the latest model and the Airport Extreme also the lastest model but i am unable to do internet recovery and none of my devices came with operating disc to restore my systems. I'm always prompted with the error "could not find installation information on this machine". Is there anyway I could have this fixed? I've called technical support and they said they cant do anything but for me to bring it to any apple support centre to get it formatted. Its alot of trouble for me to go down leave the machine there for a few days and come back to collect it again. Both my machines are extremely new and could not perform this internet recovery from day one. I even though it was my router so i gave away my WNDR 3700 and bought the apple airport extreme. Please help

    It's possible there is a block on your Interet connection. If it works on a Apple network but not yours then that points the finger at your network. If this is a home network then I'd start by changing the DNS settings to:
    1. System preferences
    2. Network
    3. Click Advanced
    4. Click DNS tab
    5. Click + sign
    6. Add 208.67.222.222
    7. Click + sign
    8. Add 208.67.220.220
    9. Click OK.
    10. Exit System Preferences
    If you are on a business network or any other type of network where someone else has control over it then they may have put certain restrictions on it. In that case you will have to contact the Network Administrator for help.

  • How to create Windows 8 installation media from Hidden Recovery partition

    My laptop (HP Envy 15- j048tx) came pre-installed with a Windows 8 (OEM) on UEFI GPT partition. Somehow I messed up with the pre-installed Windows 8 and made a clean update to Windows 8.1 (Pro) after enabling Legacy BIOS as the boot method in the CMOS setup. Then i realise that the 8.1(pro) doesn't have Windows product key and hence could not be activated. Before I change the boot method from UEFI to BIOS, trying being cautious, i managed to make a copy of the Recovery partition (22.6 GB) to a USB drive. FYI, While I was still using the pre-installed OEM OS, I also tried to create a recovery DVD (which requires 6 DVD) but I gave it up after burning only the first Disc (Disc-1 of 6.)
    Now i'm trying to go back to the default Windows 8 provided by the OEM, as I believe, it has with it a product key embedded somewhere in the BIOS. However, I cannot load the Windows from the copy of the recovery partition I've made earlier. Here's what i've worked around unsuccesfully: Burned an ISO of the Disc-1 (recovery DVD) with 'Image Burn', Edited the ISO file with 'WinISO' and added the entire 22.6 GB file from the recovery partition and then generated a USB Installation drive in GPT partition style with 'Rufus'. I disabled the Legacy BIOS mode, enabled Secured boot and tried to re-install Windows 8 but a message pop-up showing "Selected boot image did not authenticate. Press <enter> to continue."
    I've tried to look-up the HP site to see if I can get help or to order HP recovery Disc (reluctantly though), but, guess, the site's support section was probably having some problem!
    Inspite of all my failed attempt, i'm still hopeful that something can be done to go back to the original OEM Windows from the back-up copy of the recovery partition I have with me. I shall be very grateful if somebody can help me get this mess sorted, while, keeping the ordering of HP Recovery Disc as a last resort.

    Hi @Renz75 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers and tips!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I understand that you copied the recovery partition to a USB drive before you accidentally did a clean install of Windows 8.1 pro  but  you did not have an activation key for that version.
    When you copied the recovery partition to the USB drive did you use Windows 8 to format the USB for Windows 8 before you copied the recovery manager.  If not it will not work properly.
    If you did format the USB correctly you can try this.
    Format the drive creating the necessary partitions first. Now try coping the recovery manager to the one partition . Once you have it copied  then try to access the recovery manager to do a full recovery back to factory.
    If this was unsuccessful please contact HP support to obtain a recovery kit.
