Maybe the password is paired to the older hardware set(?) No idea. I guess because the system recognized that it was in a different machine. The password I had setup/used on the previous laptop would not work. When it rebooted, I could see that it had downloaded and was booting up High Sierra (which I think is the max OS this MBP will support).īut there was a catch. I connected to my wi-fi and let it do its thing. I was hopeful! It was the Recovery over Internet wizard!
Instead of starting the recovery wizard (with Disk Utility), the screen immediately changed to showing a globe (not the Apple logo). That did nothing.Īfter that, I tried booting into Recovery Mode with Cmd + R. At first, I tried holding Shift and booting. But the difference was that now I had a recovery partition. After moving the "good" drive to the target MBP, it initially froze at the same spot. But there are some caveats and I had to jump through a few hoops. My coworker suggested (as a test) transplanting the hard drive from one of the other MacBooks into the one that was giving me trouble. You gotta have access to a working installation of the OS.

I mentioned earlier that I successfully used the same method to install Snow Leopard on two older MacBooks. It was ugly, not how I envisioned, and I'm still not delighted. I’ve also booted Ubuntu Linux on USB successfully. I’ve used the same technique to successfully install Snow Leopard on two older MacBooks (mentioned above). Here’s a small google photos album for reference. I don’t want to give up on it since it’s such a lovely machine. Nothing seems to let it get past this screen. I tried installing Leopard (10.5 via CPU Drop-in DVD). I’ve reset the NVRAM/PRAM more times than I can count. As soon as I hit Enter, the screen changes to the Apple logo screen (with nothing else, no progress meter, no spinner).

It then, as expected, shows me the only option which is to boot the Mac OS X Install DVD. Then I installed a hard drive into the MBP, held down the Option/Alt key to boot from the USB drive. I have it on DVD and I have imaged it to a USB stick with Disk Utility to make for easier installations. I purchased a retail copy of Snow Leopard.

Apple MacBook Pro "Core i5" 2.4 15" Mid-2010 Specs I also confirmed that my MBP is compatible with Snow Leopard. But most folks with this issue have the original, still working HD to work with. I searched the Ask Different postings and did not find what I was looking for. I have successfully done this using the same process on two older MacBooks (A1151, A1181). I am trying to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard (Version 10.6.3). If the seller is too new or feedback to low, look elsewhere even if the price is good.I purchased a used MBP (without a hard drive). Just make sure you you deal with a reputable US based seller with good feedback. I have used this option before when I had to restore a Macbook, Internet speed was slightly above dial up and the closest Apple store was in the next State. This is not an official recommendation but sometimes when you are in a pinch and Options 1 and 2 are simply not feasible, it's nice to know that there's another option. Where is the name of your USB Flash Drive (don't use spaces - it makes it easier)Īfter about 10 minutes you will have a USB Flash drive to install OS X on your Mac.

There are many guides on how to create the USB installer so I won't belabor that point here, but the command you will need to execute in Terminal is as follows: sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia -volume /Volumes/ -applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app -nointeraction This involves using another Mac from a friend, family member or acquaintance. Option 2: Download and Make a USB Installer For example, if you had Mavericks before and want to go to El Capitan, you will have to recover to Mavericks then download the El Capitan Installer. Note: Internet Recovery will only install the last version you had, it won't upgrade.
If you are close to an Apple Store you can go into one and download the latest OS (if you have a working Mac) or run Internet Recovery using the Apple Network. Without a recovery partition and (for whatever reason) your Internet Recovery just won't work, you are down to about 3 options to get OS X installed: Option 1: Install (or Recovery) at an Apple Store
