2011 Macbook Pro not booting. Upon start up,
the computer chimes then the progress bar makes it about 2/3 across the screen.
I found a thread that said to hold option/command/R together. This brought me
to a rotating globe which asked for my wifi. I typed my password and after a
little while the globe was still on the screen with -2003F written very small
below. Any idea what's up?

If your Mac doesn't turn on or start up - Apple Support
-2003F is a server/Network error
The apple servers have been having some difficulty: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Have you had any issues prior to not booting up? What 2011 model is it? Screen flickers, black screen, lines in your screen, sudden reboot, etc? I assume you are running macOS 10.13.6? You can also try if it will boot into safe mode which does some check up routines and only uses Apple software and extensions.

After trying to boot it for many days, yesterday I was able to get it into safe mode then run utilities. Today it's back in action and I'm thrilled! It's such a great machine. Thanks for responding!
