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.)

    i cannot get my phone out of recovery mode, when I tried to restore on itune it gives me error 1608. please help me

    While YOU may not have attempted to jailbreak the phone, SOMEONE ELSE did.  Error 1015 occurs by attempting to restore a previously jailbroken phone. 
    It's very likely you may NEVER get your phone out of recovery mode and your phone may be rendered permanently bricked.
    Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones.  You'll have to scour the internet for a solution to your problem, if indeed one exists.

  • 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...?????

  • 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.

  • I've tried everything to get my phone out of recovery mode but nothing is working.

    Hi,
    I recently started updating my phone to I.O.S 8.1.3, and it was downloading and updating fine, then it said it had an error updating. I turned it off and on again to see if that would work, and when I clicked install it showed up as if it was turning off. It then showed up that I needed to connect to iTunes. So I did, and it said it was in recovery mode, and that I needed to restore. So I tried that and it said multiple times, when I got part way through the restoration, that the network had timed out when it hadn't. So I researched ways to get it out of the recovery mode.
    I've tried:
    holding down home and lock button
    holding down lock and volume button
    downloading tinyumbrella, however it wouldn't let me open it
    Putting it into DFU mode and restoring
    Nothing is working! I don't know what to do, I need my phone for when I'm travelling and now I don't have one.
    Anyone got any more ideas? I'll be incredibly grateful.
    If I can't get this to work I've wasted £200 of money on a phone that decides it's logical to kill itself. I won't be doing that again.

    I was trying to download TinyUmbrella because some people have said it basically kicks phones out of recovery mode, and I did try that but it hadn't worked, it kept loosing connection with the phone even though it was connected.
    I took the phone to the O2 shop and they did something to restore it, so it's working fine finally thanks for replying!

  • 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.

    It's impossible to say exactly why it went into recovery mode. To get it out, plug it into your computer running iTunes and restore it.

    You don't. Once it's in recovery mode, anything that was on the phone is already gone.

  • How to get my Itouch out of Recovery mode? Without restoring it

    When i plugged in my itouch into a different itunes a message came up saying "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." Since this is not my itunes can is there a way to not restore it?

    Authorizing the computer has nothing to do with getting the iPod out of recovery mode.  A program like the following may work.  However, some error happened in the iPod and necessitated theiPod going inoto recovery mode.

    If it does not work thn you have to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod since there is no backup of the iPod on the computer.
