Inleiding
De internet herstelmodus kun je op op meerdere manieren gebruiken. In deze handleiding leer je hoe je met behulp van de internet herstelmodus macOS op een nieuwe of corrupte SSD kunt installeren.
Internet Recovery is alleen te gebruiken voor Apple computers van na 2009. Als je computer is uitgebracht in 2010 of 2011 moet je waarschijnlijk een update doen naar de laatste versie van macOS om verder te kunnen.

Als de computer compleet is afgesloten, druk je op de aan-/uitknop om vervolgens direct de toetsencombinatie cmd + option + R in te drukken en ingedrukt te houden.
Does this option still work if using a Bluetooth keyboard?
Chad, this option should still work if using a bluetooth keyboard. If you’ve paired the keyboard to the computer already, then it should connect quickly enough to register the keypresses. That said, it’s definitely less reliable than using a wired keyboard! And every bluetooth keyboard is different—one might work, and another might not. Good luck!
MacBook 2009 A1342 DOES NOT WORK, it always shows the ‘folder’ with a ? inside and there is nothing i can do. +, i already bought a copy of Lion 10.7 on app store but cant access it either HELP PLEASE ;-)
Mine shows the same thing a folder with a ?, I couldn’t copy my hard drive as it crashed and the computer wouldn’t boot up. Now I’m starting with a brand new ssd I need to know how to or what to do.
On my MBP mid-2012, the Cmd+Opt+Shift+R worked for me too with a brand new SSD. Thx Adria!
Oui pour moi aussi, avec mon MBP 13" mi 2012...

Mine is stuck flashing a folder with a question mark on it. Now what?
cant get passed folder with ? mark inside PLS HELPà
Even if your keyboard is AZERTY, write your password as using a QWERTY one. Just did it now.
You're welcome ;)
thank you sooooo much
I can’t get passed this… entered WiFi password and it just spins forever trying to login…
Same to me… did you fix it?
Cela ne se connecte pas alors que le code est bon, comment faire ???
Bonjour, je rentre mon mot de passe wifi, mais cela me refuse l’accès ?
faite attention si vous êtes français ou autre et que votre clavier est en azerty, car moi j’ai finalement compris que dans le ordi c’était en qwerty voilà pourquoi il n’acceptait pas le bon mot de passe
After connecting to the network, globe keeps spinning, no progress bar appears underneath. Please advice how to proceed. Thanks
After inputting the WiFi password it gets stuck on the revolving globe showing 24:00 for ever. What might be the problem and how to fix this issue? please help!
Solution: You need to set your DNS-server to 8.8.8.8 at your router.
If you are in Malaysia and using Time Internet, this will not work. I used my mobile phone (Maxis) and a hotspot to get around the problem. Not sure if its the way the router is configured with my Time connection.
Indeed. Cannot get past Time internet and need to use the hotspot. Thank you very much james_abela.

A solution for me when stuck on entering wifi password and nothing happening was instead tether to my phone, i.e. mobile hotspot and that fixed it
The typical problem when you get a flashing folder with a question mark on the screen is a problem with the hard drive. If you have changed the drive for a new one it might not be compatible or poorly seated, or you did not start internet recovery correctly/in time. If you have not changed your drive and your Mac suddenly have gotten this error, the hard drive is most likely defective and needs to be replaced, in my experience. @bbfreak8
I am not able to type the password for wifi.
Please help
As with other comments here, I'm on the screen to select my network, and the roadblock is the password. I put in the password for the network, gets bounced back. I try my password for the Mac itself, gets bounced back. Apple ID, gets bounced back. It's not specific as to what password it's looking for, but nothing works. A ridiculous flaw with seemingly no solution! Makes me think twice (or more) before buying any more Apple products in the future. My shortlist for the holiday season was an entry level MacBook Air and an IPAD, but now I'm not too sure if we have to look forward to more of this sort of thing.

Hi, what if nothing happens once a connection is established? It just connects to the wifi and then goes back to previous page
Hi

It happened the same to me! Could you find a solution? Thanks
I have exactly the same problem on a 2011 macbook pro, nothing happens after the internet recovery loading
And I have the same problem on my pro 15 2011😔

The process just skips the Wi-Fi connection process. It loads the disk utility but no Wi-Fi connection. Try to load operating system it says you need Wi-Fi connection? How do I get to Wi-Fi connection process?

After I entered password and loaded up internet recovery a Question Mark appears and flashing. What do I do next?
Never mind. When I tried a second time it went to the Disk Utility. I was able to complete the process.
Apple und die Time Maschine die alles kaputt macht. Statt Itunes hätten sie lieber die Time Maschine raus nehmen sollen aus Catalina Betriebssystem Apple

Bought the OWC recommended drive from fixit (for 2012 Macbook air) and it was pre-formatted—so was able to move right on to restoring from time machine backup — worked great!
When can I use Time Machine to restore my data. Can I use it in this step or I have to install MacOS first, then use time machine?
Ahmad, I was under the impression that you needed to install MacOS before you can restore a time machine backup. That said, now that you ask I am not sure! It could be possible to restore your data and the OS with Time Machine. If you already have a TM backup at this step, give that a try and let me know how it goes.
I’m upgrading to a SSD on my 2011 iMac, running MacOS High Sierra. Updating to Catalina is prevented by the age of the computer.
Should I choose APFS as the format for the new SSD, rather than Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?
It appears to be compatible with High Sierra, and some quick research indicates that APFS is meant to be optimised for flash based storage like an SSD.
I think I’ve answered my own question. After futher reading of this article. I’m going to stick with MacOS Extended (Journalled) to ensure that I maintain compatibility with my existing Time Machine backups to the new drive. Its also mentioned that during installation of High Sierra, it will decide which disk format is more appropriate automatically.
It would certainly be interesting to see how much faster APFS is for SSDs.
I bought the recommended OWC SSD, but mine isn’t recognized by my 2015 (early) MacBook Air 13”. I installed the new drive into an OWC Envoy Pro, with the intent of cloning the original drive onto the new drive, then installing the new drive into the computer, and sticking the original drive into the Envoy Pro. Is this what I’m doing wrong, should I just install the new drive into the computer, and move the original drive into the Envoy Pro?
UPDATE: In response to my question - yes, I was doing it wrong. I just installed the new drive into my MacBook Air, and used Internet recovery to format the new SSD. It worked great.
I differed, though, from the instructions here. The article recommends to use internet recovery to install the OS, and then use super duper to replicate the original (cloned) drive onto the new drive. Except when I went to install the OS using Internet Recovery, it was going to install Catalina, which I don’t want to do. (Catalina doesn’t support Aperture, which is my favorite Apple application). So instead of using internet recover for that, I used Utilities to restore the original drive onto the new drive. It worked perfectly.

I can’t see the new drive, and I don’t have the View section of the menu bar… I am stuck here now
Got the same problem, no view section, and can't see the new drive :( any idea please?
Make sure to use cmd + option + R to boot into the latest version of Internet Recovery, and the new drive should show.

How to i save files, photos and programs before erasing it?

In het herstelmenu kies je Installeer macOS.
Can I choose which OS version to install at this point? I will want to install Mojave, but since there’s a newer OS (Catalina) out now will that version be installed without giving me a chance to choose?
Lee, unfortunately I do not think this interface will let you install older versions of macOS—it just automatically grabs the newest version. If you want to install Mojave, you’ll have to make a USB installer!
When trying to install os x, itsays this disk is locked. Is there away to unlock it?
If using the reinstall OS option, is the recovery utility smart enough to select the most recent compatible OS? My iMac is a late 2015. It is not supposed to be able to run the most current MacOS
Hi, problem is it installed until 2 minutes and it says error and to try running the installer again later. How can I fix this? Thanks

are you using wifi or ethernet? if wifi, perhaps it’s not connecting
Hi, I have a 2009 iMac that I have just upgraded the HDD to SSD. I have deleted all the info I had on my old HDD, so I cannot clone or anything. I have followed the steps above but on my last step it asks me for the apple ID and password. Once I insert them it directly says the pass is wrong. But because of the 2FA it passes the check to my iPad before approving the login. I don’t have any other Mac Device around, only Windows devices. With the TransMac and an *.dmg image of the 10.8 Mac X version I have made a bootable stick drive. It sees the removable drive, It seems to boot from it but it doesn’t work. Please help me!
Ici, Mavericks pour moi...
My machine defaulted to Mavericks as the downloadable version (10.14.5). The problem with this is that the encryption is so old, that after it boots, it can't talk to the apple store (bad password errors). This was a helpful link to install Catalina without the apple store: https://wccftech.com/how-to/how-to-downl... The installer isn't apple but it pulls the OS from apple. Once this installs, iCloud and the store will work as expected.
Step 8, is it only mojave it downloads or can i skip straight to 10.15? my mac is currently on 10.15 but i want up upgrade my drive from a 250 hdd to a 1tb hdd.
I keep getting there was an error in the setup
“An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again”
After following these steps, the MacBook keeps showing the same message: Failed to establish connection to the server
I'm getting a blinking folder with a question mark, and a prompt that says "support.apple.com/mac/startup". So.... how f**ked am I? :-D
Ever solve this? I have the same issue.. catilina downloads then on reboot .. get the folder with ?

Tijdens de installatie van macOS kan het zijn dat je computer een aantal keer opnieuw opstart. Zodra de installatie is gelukt ga je naar "Migration Assistant" om de gegevens van je oude naar je nieuwe schijf te kopiëren.

Hi there, will this work when upgrading an Early 2011 Macbook Pro with a new SSD and RAM? I don’t want to keep or clone any data that I currently have on the computer. I just want to do a clean install of MacOS without transferring over any old files. Thank you!
Fiona, the Early 2011 MacBook Pros didn’t ship with internet recovery, but as long as it had a recent-ish version of MacOS before the SSD upgrade the firmware should have updated, which enables internet recovery! This is a great method for installing a fresh copy of MacOS to a new SSD.
Hello. Thank you for the article Taylor. I use a MBP 9,2 and wish to replace my ageing 500GB HDD with 500GB SSD and undergo a clean install of macOS. I’ll follow this article and install by the Internet Recovery method. I have a Time Machine backup, from which I want to restore only certain files and folders pertaining to my studies and work. I also want to restore only Keychain. Can you advise me regarding these or direct me by providing helpful links? Thank you.
My situation:
(a) Running Mojave on early 2015 MBP, original SSD
(b) Want to upgrade SSD to 1TB
I was planning to:
(1) replacing the SSD,
(2) install Catalina on new SSD from internet using this guide, and
(c) then restore my other apps and user data from my Time Machine backup.
Would that work or should I anticipate some hiccups, especially with step (c). Also my Time Machine backups can they still be written to the same network location as my current location?
Last time I upgraded a Mac HD with SSD I lost the ability to continue to upgrade the OS, so that Mac is stuck in the past. I resorted to an older Mac that has latest OS but now hard drive is failing there. If I do this upgrade, will I again lose the ability to upgrade to latest OS (and maybe even end up going backwards from the current one (10.15.7) ?
I could not reinstall OS vis internet recovery - MacBook Pro 13” mid 2010. I tried all three ways in internet recovery but had no prevail. Any suggestion will be appreciated
Super, merci beaucoup.
I put in new hard drive, pressed the power button and held down the option- command- R buttons and a file with a question Mark has popped up. Now what?
Is it work on Hackintosh catalina?
Hey, does this works nowadays in 2021 with a Vintage Mid 2010 iMac 27”. I heard that given the model becomes vintage by Apple, there is no more support, and that includes the Internet Recovery mode. Is that truth? Are there any other way to install a fresh copy of the last supported OS version for this mac (High Sierra) ? I don’t know but maybe a bootable pen drive?
I keep getting “can’t download the additional components needed to install Mac Os X.” Please advise
Great instructions! I followed them but my issue is that my external backup is for High Sierra but my Mac base offers Lion as my option. After selecting a restore point on the external SSD and transferring the data all I have is Google chrome that isn’t working and none of the apps appear on my screen. Did I miss a step?
I been trying to install it, but it keep returning to the installation process, it seems like a infinite loop at the installation.
What should I do to finish the installation please.
My macPro Late 2013 retina A1502, I was using high sierra before, my ssd has broken in 2017, since then I was using the external HD.
I used this guide to successfully install MacOS on a new SSD, as a first step in replacing my Mini’s HD, by putting the new SSD in the enclosure and connecting it with the USB cord to the Mini. Up to that point, I agree with the other commenters that the guide is very helpful.
What this guide fails to mention, though, is that once the OS is installed on the new new SSD, the computer will reboot, then start the routine to initialize a new computer, presumably because it’s rebooting using the new drive’s OS, which triggers that process. To get around this, I had to shut down the computer, unplug the SSD’s USB cord, then restart the Mini from its original HD.
Mentioning this would be a helpful addition to the guide, so people don’t panic when they see the menu for setting up a new Mac.
taylor my dude you’re the best.
I’ve got a late 2014 iMac 27” that has failed so spectacularly that it appears the moment it tries in any way to access the internal storage it crashes and immediately reboots. The fusion drive seems to have gotten progressively worse, as I was originally able to restore to and boot from an external driveThis means that I can no longer use the regular or internet recovery modes, and it won’t boot to an external drive either. Thunderbolt target disk mode works, except it crashes my other Mac as soon as I try to access the internal drive! I assume replacing both parts of the fusion drive will fix the problem, but I’d like confirmation that there’s no other likely explanation. I wish I knew whether it was the SSD or the HD that has failed, but I’m not about to open the iMac twice to find out - it makes more sense to convert it 100% to SSD.
this is useless literally the ssd is in and the erase button is grayed out tried all of the solutions but still doesnt work and left with a macbook that just has a question mark folder flashing unable to use
THIS MIGHT HELP SOME PEOPLE!! This is for everyone how has the problem that after installing the new ssd card and then when they are in internet recovery mode that you can’t get a internet connection and it goes back to the same page and wants you to choose a network again.
I bought the OWC Aura Pro X2 which is 960 gigabyte (1 terabyte) and had this problem, what I did was to buy a adapter so that I could use a ethernet cable as internet connection instead.
I bought Apples Thunderbolt-to-Gigabit Ethernet-adapter which solved the problem and got me through to the internet recovery menu with time machine backup, disk utility exc.
Now everything is working great. :)
used remote recovery to restore time machine backup on to a new external ssd drive. Seemed to work ok BUT I can NOT load off new ssd. Restart always automatically returns to old Macintosh HD in the iMac. Tried to use preferences to change startup drive BUT new ssd just shows up in light grey and I cannot force system to use it as startup drive. Any ideas?
Please help! I have an early 2009 iMac and upgraded to an SSD. But I’m pretty sure these models don’t have I fermer recovery? What do?
I'm following the instructions but after installing MACOS, I get a message telling me to to to apple support. Any ideas?
Some changes since this guide was written:
1] After power on, wait until you hear the chime, then IMMEDIATELY hold down opt-cmd-R. Too slow, you get a flashing folder with a question mark in the middle. Hold power key 5 secs to power off and start again.
2] I did not get select network dialog, but the WiFi icon was in the upper right menu bar. I used this to select my wifi network.
3] Disk Utility looks different for Monterey. The sidebar includes the recovery volume and defaults to it. Fortunately, Erase is greyed out for this volume. You new drive is the one listed above it.
4] Monterey is the only option for install.
YMMV

Moin, Apple hat da eine Supportseite für den Fehler. Welches OS war denn bisher drauf? Und welches wolltest du installieren? Wenn du den Mac schon aus deiner iCloud-Liste gelöscht hast, ist es vielleicht die auf der Seite beschriebene Tastenkombination.
Hello, I have an Early 2011 Macbook Pro and installed a new SSD replacing the original HD with the iFix it kit: MacBook and MacBook Pro (Non-Retina) SSD Upgrade Bundle. I also installed the old HD in a case and have a cable hooking it up to my computert which is the only way, now, for me to get the OS to work. I have tried to turn on the computer without the old HD hooked up via cable, with cmd opt+R and, cmd opt SHIFT +R and a gray screen with a lock and password bar comes up. I have tried ALL passwords I have ever used and the screen will not progress to the spinning globe, just keeps asking for a password. Should I try the cmd opt+R with the old HD hooked up via cable? Thank you

I just installed macOS X on my Mac 2011-2012 with no internal drive shown at all. It appears that I can’t use the Safari browser and therefore can’t use other browsers freely ,no more pages app,or Book app.
Can you please tell me how to solve that problem

Your guide was easy to follow with great call outs and warnings! Top notch.
Great article! This worked smoothly for me
hi i'm getting 'The recovery server could not be contacted' My internet is connected though.. any remedy from anyone.Please.. thank you
my situation is different. I have no recovery section or hard drive recognized as I mistakenly used disk utility and deleted the top two hard drives from the Mac Book Pro.. what I have now is a Mac with a flashing folder and no way to get to internet recovery. I am going to buy a new hard drive if I can find a cable to hook up to the drive cable in the Macbook.. I need an internal hard drive or a way to trick a program into believing I am using an internal when I will be using an external...if that's possible... or do I have a MacBook Pro paperweight? it was running El Capitan when I deleted the main hard drives from the system files. model #A1286 S# W89404PH7XJ. MY EMAIL IS davidpclouthier@gmail.com
Amazing! This helped me reinstall MacOS without removing the SSD.
I thought this guide is for a completely new SSD, but in this example MacOS appears to already be running. Is the target SSD connected internally via SATA or is this guide for a USB based second SSD that will also run the OS?
In the latter case, is the intent to run internet recovery on the new SSD and then open the machine up and connect it directly, replacing the old disk?

Sorry for the confusion, Orun! The new SSD guide shares a few steps with the general “boot to internet recovery mode” guide. If you’re installing MacOS to a new drive, you can skip this step. :)

Just to clarify, I have a late 2009 MacBook 6,1 running El Capitan and will be upgrading to a new SSD. Will Internet recovery work with this computer? The article states “after 2009”. Also I want to upgrade to High Sierra at the same time is there an option to select which OS or how does it decide?

My current hard drive won’t read. I don’t care about saving anything on the computer at all and had planned on starting fresh. Can i just install the drive then do internet recovery mode or do i still have to have a backup usb with the os preinstaled?

Hi all,
I recently purchased a Mac mini so that I could have iMessages on my Android phone. It was petty and so that my lesser than iPhone user people could stop complaining about the lack of blue messages.
I ended up updating from the OEM hard drive to an SSD. I obtained a copy of Yosemite from the link below and installed an update to make sure it worked on the original drive.
I had trouble with my Bluetooth keyboard so instead of going through all of that, I ran the installer again but selected my new drive and install the iOS onto the external drive without any issue. I then installed the SSD and it is working so far. Knocking on wood.
Hope this is helpful and I haven't done anything wrong or caused anyone any issues.
