Hello pierre_4117,


We see you're getting an error when you try accessing macOS Recovery. This might help If you can't start up from macOS Recovery:


"If you see a globe with a warning symbol (exclamation point), the attempt to start up from macOS Recovery over the internet was unsuccessful:

Spinning globe with exclamation point

In that case, one of these solutions might help:

  • Make sure that your Mac can connect to the internet. If you're not asked to choose a Wi-Fi network during startup, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu , if available.
  • Press Command-R at startup to try using the built-in Recovery system instead of internet Recovery.
  • Connect to the internet using Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi, or vice versa.
  • Connect to the internet from a different Wi-Fi or Ethernet network. Your network configuration might not allow the internet access that macOS Recovery needs.
  • Try again later, because the issue might be temporary.
  • Start up from another disk or volume, if available, or use a bootable installer to reinstall macOS."
