recovery 6003f

Hi,

My Macbook Air (Late 2010) froze the other day in the middle of writing an email: no keyboard or mouse response. After few moments of pushing buttons, swiping fingers on trackpad and closing and opening the lid, I've shutdown the computer and restarted it and I've received a white screen with flashing question mark folder.

I've tried PRAM and NVRAM reset but nothing helped. I've replaced my internal SSD with an OWC Mercury 240GB SSD so I don't have a hidden recovery partition. Pressing Cmd+R in boot get's me into internet recovery but 2-10 seconds later I get:apple.com/support Error 6003F and that's it.

What can I do next? Apple does not have any stores in Israel (apart from private importers which I didn't buy from and will not service me).

I'm lost and need help 🙂

Moshe

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

I had this same problem, and despite the message, 6003F is not documented anywhere. Unfortunate.

I believe this simply means the Apple servers aren't visible on your default network—in this mode, your Mac can't access your saved network name and password. If you hold the Option key on bootup instead, you'll get the Startup Manager. That screen will let you select a wifi network and enter a password, if needed. I did this and was able to download the recovery image.

Good luck. I'm answering all the recent 6003F questions I can find to help the next person 🙂
