Highlight Apple SSD SM012… then click Erase.
To erase the drive open Disk Utility on your Recovery Drive, click on View in the menubar
and select Show All Devices.
Highlight the Disk not any of the indented Volumes and click Erase.
Give the Disk a name.
Format: APFS
Scheme: GUID Partition Map.
Click Erase.
When Done quit Disk Utility.
The certificates for several of Apples OS's expired in October 2019, Apple have not bothered getting these updated on
theirr Recovery Servers with valid certificates.
This may be the problem you are experiencing.
Try this workaround, we are going to set the time and date on your mac to a date previous to the expiry date of the certificates.
Connect your mac to your router via cable, not WiFi
Boot to your Recovery HD, click on Utilities in the menubar select Terminal.
Make sure WiFi is switched off, it can reset the date back to today.
Enter a new date, for example or just copy and paste
sudo date -u 011421002017
press Return
enter your password
press Return
If Terminal returns an error saying sudo : command not found, then try again without sudo.
just enter
date -u 011421002017
press Return
You won't be prompted for a Password if you did not need to use sudo
Once the date has changed you can quit Terminal.
Now try downloading the OS.
Click on Install OS, press Continue.
If this works then when the OS is installed and booted up you can Open System Preferences> Date & Time
and reset the time back to today.
Okay I thought your mac was trying to install macOS High Sierra, after all you are writing in the macOS High Sierra
community. Oh how foolish of me.
The instructions for erasing and formatting your mac were for macOS High Sierra.
Your mac is trying to reinstall macOS Sierra. Sierra cannot be installed on an APFS formatted disk.
Quit the installer and go back to Disk Utility.
Click View in the menubar and select Show All Devices.
Highlight the Disk not any indented Volumes, click Erase.
Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Scheme: GUID Partition Map.
Click Erase.
When Done quit Disk Utility.
Now go back and follow the instructions for resetting the dat and time as above.
Hi thank tou for the help. So I will erase
AppleAPFSmedia first then all the other ones not indented?
Does it give you the option to carry on with the installation?
I cant reinstall my Mac OS it says “The installer information on the recover server is damaged”
