Macbook 2015 Reset My grandmother got a macbook pro 2015. We decided to do a factory reset and whoever was helping her with it earsed all the utility disk that were on there. When they went to finish the rest it shut down the laptop and when we try to restart shows us a circle with a slash. Then we get an earth with a ! on it. We hold command R like we've seen in videos but won't let us do anything without an internet connections. Then we held option showing us OS X Base System with choose network but no networks are shown. Then when we try putting in the address it loads endlessly on enter password. We tried everything on all the videos we've watched and at this point starting to give up. If any help can be offered it would be very much appreciated This is the screen I was talking about. No wifi options showing as seen here. We've moved closer to router. Restarted router. Tried using hotspots. Even moved too laptop to different household.

Resetting a MacBook Air (2017) I have a 2017 Macbook Air that I want to reset to factory settings and then donate it to Seniorama. I tried to follow this explanation: https://www.coolblue.be/nl/advies/apple-macbook-terugzetten-fabrieksinstellingen.html Eventually I got into some sort of partition manager and may have done something wrong there. Now when I boot the Macbook Air, I see a flashing question mark: If your Mac starts up to a question mark - Apple Support Now when I boot with Command+R pressed, it asks to connect to a wireless network. And now the problem: I choose my wireless network but it never accepts my password. Could it be that he works in Qwerty instead of Azerty? The operating system is still on the hard drive, I hope? The laptop is not defective, is it?

MacBook can't login network error I recently found an old Macbook of mine. I believe it is running Mac tiger OS. I am unable to sign in because I get a Network error. It says the network device is disconnected when I try to log in. The problem is I can't change this because I'm stuck at the login. Is there anything I can do?

Hopefully it lets you reinstall the OS, we'll have to see, might require an external drive to install to.
