Recovery mode is weird.

Hello everyone, I am wanting to sell my Macbook Pro late 2011 and I booted into recovery mode and wiped the hard drive. now, I'm trying to install a new copy of Yosemite. And the loading bar is over and wrote "downloading additional components" and the time shows 36 hours left until it finishes downloading. I really want to sell my mac before Christmas. Thank you.

Really, you should NOT install an OS you are using (Yosemite). You must install the operating system that originally came pre-installed. So if your MBP comes with an installation DVD, use, and install this OS. If it comes with OS X Lion, then reboot in Recovery of the Internet (Command-Option-R), which starts in recovery Apple servers and install OS X Lion.

However, install you OS X, after the installation of the Mac. Do not go through the installation.

  • Terminal Server is missing from the recovery mode

    Does anyone know how to start the terminal in recovery mode? Apple support says it should be in the menu as before (boot with command-r) bar, but all I see is a language selector and no option to choose a language or continue.

    I see it when I start in the Recovery HD.

    It is possible that your Recovery HD is corrupted. Have you tried to reinstall macOS Sierra on itself? It will rewrite your HD Recovery. You are not hurting your data, user accounts or applications. But a system save before the reinstall would be a good idea.

    We tried to make the update iOS 10, but he went into recovery mode. As we are away, we have no access to iTunes. Any ideas on how we can restore?

    Unfortunately, you will need a computer to get out of Recovery Mode. If you do not have access to one, you can try to go to an Apple Store or a library. You will need to see if the library allows to iTunes on the computer. You need the latest version.
