I went into recovery mode to try and restart my mac to factory setting but I cant get out and it wont erase any discs and wont redownload OS and I dont know what to do.
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After ** loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the ** main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit ** and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should install the version of OS X that you had installed.
What happens when yo try to erase/format the disk?
When you try to download OSX?
Does Disk Utility in Recovery even see the disk?
