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.)
Hi radly,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
Verify that the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks.Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.

Help unable to install OS X as hard drive not visible in internet recovery mode
Hi
I have a MacBook Pro
During use my screen froze and I had to force quit. Since then I have tried the following:
Turning on in safe mode
Internet recovery - no mac hd or partition recovery drive are visible in disk utility only OS X base system
Unable to install maverick as there's no disc visible to select
If I try to verify the start up disc is greyed out
Starting up with cmd r
Tried to reset PRAM
Start up disc does not display anything
ALL TO NO AVAIL, is the hard drive defunct or is there anything else I can try ?
Many thanks for your help
ElieSee this thread, this is 3rd regarding recovery/restore - as a starting point.
Obviously it is easier if you have a couple backups, a drive you can use, and don't mind erasing the internal drive.
It is a lot easier then. And it would be easier if you didn't have a notebook. This forum is not MacBook Pro but the tower or workstation.

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...????? -
Adobe creative cloud desktop is not detecting my internet connection?
adobe creative cloud desktop is not detecting my internet connection?
i connected with the adobe people through 'contact an agent'.
very helpful, they remote managed my desktop to fix the issue.
apparently something to do with permissions not activated for adobe, not sure how and why this happens though, or why it was fine earlier and suddenly stoppped.
they insisted it was to do with being on a wifi connection but that's not possible because i have my laptop right next to my desktop and that was working fine.
it took about four hours to fix though, so be patient! -

Please stop altering the fonts, it makes reading postings extremely difficult. If help is desired, making postings difficult to read is not the way to get help.
Put the device in DFU mode (google it), then restore. -
While downloading software update for Itunes, got message saying detecting Ipad in recovery mode and telling us to restore Ipad to original settings, which we don't want to do. Also cannot turn on Ipad; shows Itunes symbol with connector. Help!
No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.

Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark. -
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. -

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.

my ipod generation 5 will not come out of recovery mode. i was simply updating my software and this happened. it will not let me restore it comes up with and error. please help, thanks.
Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1441?viewlocale=it_it
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,

Hi there could someone out there please help i've got a Iphone 4 running on IOS 5 and it will not come out of recovery mode> It comes up with the error code -1 which i've looked everywhere on the web but no one seams to have the same issue.
This is a reconditioned replacement phone from the apple genius guys which i paid £130 for and only got 3 months warranty with and as soon as the warranty run out it crashed on me and never been able to get it back out of recovery mode. I've been back to the apple genius guys and they have told me there's nothing they can do other than charge me £130 to take the phone off me and give me another reconditioned phone with a 3 month warranty. Which as you can properly tell i dont want to.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME thanks for your timeThis is a bad hardware error, Baseband Error. Some have reported getting through this error by Restoring iPhone with the SIM Card removed. Try that. Try restoring with different computer. Search Web some more for other thoughts.

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. -
Phone will not get out of recovery mode/will not update or restore
Iphone will not get out of recovery mode. I have pressed the home and lock screen at the same time, and nothing happens. I connected it to iTunes to try to update my phone or restore it, and it will not do anything. The progress bar shows up on the screen but does not make any progress and iTunes says it cannot connect to my phone. I have tried everything and went to the AT&T store and they told me to contact Apple support. What do I do now?
You will have to restore it from Recovery Mode

HELP !!! I can not access the Internet Recovery on my Mac Pro (mid 2012)! Mac Pro has Internet Recovery ?
"Regular" Recovery (from the Recovery partition on your Hard drive or your Time Machine Backup) remains available, but Internet Recovery (from firmware only) is not a feature on the silver tower Mac Pro. It is not on this list:
