"Recovery server could not be contacted" Error Message

Thanks ! this worked.

Wow Apple is definitely on the downfall . They don’t even care about us and their products failing for no reason

Thanks so much - this worked for me. :-)

Make sure your machine is connected to the internet. I had to manually connect to my wireless using the network control in the top right of the screen.

I received the same message, but realized I wasn’t connected to internet. Look upper right corner to see if you are connected. Once I connected to wi fi it worked perfect.

I’m just getting command not found -.-

Well spotted, this solved my problem.

I had the same issue on my computer and use your suggestion to put in today’s date. Worked for me too.

Thanx it worked perfectly

I had similar issue....but wait.... wow just changing the date to the current updated date did resolve the issue. Thanks

Great answer! Started working immediately after changing the date.

Connect to the internet.

are you sure your mac has connected to the internet? please check the right top corner wifi icon.

That works!!!!

For me it was because I had not reconnected to my wireless network. Just confirm that you are connected and you should be good to go. Check icon in upper right on the menu bar.
