However, if none of your devices (MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Pro, or Mac Mini) are not working when you need them the most, you can use a Windows computer to rescue your Apple device. This is one of the main reasons you should consider making a macOS bootable USB when your device works properly. If the unexpected happens with an Apple computer, you can use a macOS bootable USB with the installation media to repair it. It’s just a matter of time until your computer will refuse to start, which could happen for many reasons, including (and not limited to) file corruption, hardware failure, and buggy update. Which is worse than before.It does not matter whether you use macOS, Windows 10, or Windows 11. The only difference is that it now offers to install El Capitan instead of Yosemite. Internet recovery starts, then goes to the recovery mode. Guess it should work fine from here.Įdit3: nevermind. Am booting the Internet recovery mode now. Am trying that next.Įdit2: seemed to work.

Is there another way to downgrade from Yosemite to a lighter, older OS X, like Mavericks that I haven't tried?Įdit: Just found a page that said I can update my Macbook Pro if it doesn't have internet recovery. It just goes straight to the apple emblem then loads the boot stuff. I never see the globe and region prompt that I read about. I think the question I have now, is this: Why isn't the internet recovery working? Everything online says pressing (option+command+r) ought to do it, but it doesn't. My next step might be to try to create another internal recovery partition on the computer, using the Mavericks USB that I cloned - if the Safari sign-in were to work, I think making the recovery drive internal might fix the refresh problem and I could sign into iCloud.
I also tried creating a partition on the drive with a copy of Mountain Lion that I found online and running that, but I'm not sure how that was supposed to work, and at any rate, it seemed doomed to fail anyways. I think because the recovery drive is external, it's having trouble - the page seems to ten times a second and it never fully loads. However, on the Mavericks USB drive, safari won't work well enough to sign into iCloud. I read someone circumventing this issue by backing out of the installer and going to iCloud through Safari, then signing in to show the computer is in use, or something to that effect. It asks me to sign into the app store, which I do, but then I receive the unavailable message. I understand that this is due to the fact that the computer never ran Mavericks, and as such, thinks the computer is being stolen. However, when I select reinstall OS X, it won't let me install Mavericks because it says the product is temporarily unavailable. The USB works to boot to the repair mode. I press (option) immediately on startup and it lets me choose between the internal recovery HD and the USB. I've tried running a Mavericks recovery USB (cloned from the recovery HD on my Macbook Air). The recovery HD runs yosemite and only offers to reinstall it. Immediately upon startup, pressing (option+command+r) leads to the boot prompt with only the internal recovery HD as an option. I've read about the internet recovery option, which should install the original OS X directly from the apple servers, but I can't seem to access this option. I've read that it should be sufficient, but I'd rather downgrade to the original OS X if possible, since the machine is only going to be used for word processing and occasional netflix. The computer is quite sluggish, much more so than it ought to be, I think because it's only got 4GB 1033 DDR3 memory. I expected it to reinstall the original OS X, because that's what I read, but it updated to Yosemite. I recently did a wipe and OS X reinstall on my GF's 2010 Macbook Pro.
