Hi
I can not install iOS Sierra via internet Recovery option due to the attached error, which repeats each last second & attempt to install the iOS… disk utility fix do not work, unfortunately. Could you please help? Thanks
iMac 21.5″ 4K, 11.2
iOS is for iPhones, you're talking about MacOS. :)
What Format & size is Untitled Disk?
If you still have an OS to boot from...
Sierra won’t install to SSD, thanks to Eau Rouge…
OS Sierra on an external drive - Apple Community
Which method are you trying?
Start up from macOS Recovery
To start up from macOS Recovery, turn on your Mac and immediately press and hold one of the following combinations on your keyboard. Command-R is generally recommended, especially if you never installed macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later… How to reinstall macOS - Apple Support
Command (⌘)-R
Install the latest macOS that was installed on your Mac.
Option-⌘-R
Upgrade to the latest macOS compatible with your Mac.
Shift-Option-⌘-R
Install the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
Have you tried to run the application ‘Console’ under the directory Applications/Utilities ?
Start the app, then when the window comes up, look top right, and you should see a search field. Type “diskm” in this field, and then hit return.
You can save this type of search in console to quickly return to specific searches by tapping the save icon. Others might be wifi, network, mountd, Bluetooth, …..
There are presets listed on top left, such as , All messages, Errors, and syslog
Now you need to start viewing data being sent to console.
Do this by hitting the start icon in the console window. If it doesn’t start putting out messages, make sure the “now” button is selected as well.
So whats this going to do for you? It might help why at the last point the pop up window with error comes up, when it does happen.
At this point look in console, you could copy and paste the diskm output before and after the pop up comes up.
You might get lucky and it state a clue to the drive, app hangs, disk not found, etc etc…
That data and a call to Apple support over the phone might take you to the next step.
I can't think of anything else to try except try installing to an external drive.
Indeed, MacOS. The disk is 256GB, SSD, format - Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Scheme - GUID partition map. Unfortunately, no OS to boot from.
Thanks
The first one
Try the last one.
Tried, but unfortunately the error repeats
Ok. Thanks anyway for helping!
OK, good luck my friend.
