- This video shows how to restore Macbook Pro via online recovery tool on a newly replaced hard drive. I believe if you fully wipe off you hard drive, you should be able to do same thing.
Unfortunately, some versions of MacBook Pro has no online recovery ability. Check your product documents to find it out.
This video is based on MacBoo Pro 2011 version. - Věda a technologie

Hello! My doesn’t have a disc, it only shows disc0. Please how do i fix that?
For me it says " Wiping volume data to prevent future accidental probing failed" Can you tell me how to fix it?
Sir in my macbook there is no erase option and no pation option show then what can i do
Thank you so much it’s a big help. I’ve been watching and searching lot of videos this one worked. By the way is the 166gb is enough for future upgrade OS?
Just simply avoid partition tab (it was complicated there). Go to erase tab instead after macOS extended (journaled). Name your disk and click erase. Done and done.
Thanks the other one didn’t work but this one did thanks so much
I did follow your step but I wondering why you have chosen 3 partition only ..

I formatted my hard drive, I think including my operating system, then suddenly a flashing folder came up with my screen. it's been a month since this happened. My mac was a late 2011 macbookpro. I'm currently using it for my online class, now I don't know what to do, I bought hard drive cable two times in a legit store but still, the startup disk is empty and I can't choose my hard drive. If I choose the reinstallment of lion os, it doesn't work, maybe because I didn't buy the Os or the OS is not recognized from my account because I just use 10.6.8, I try buying Mc Lion OS but the credit cards that I used doesn't work with the payment even though it has the right amount of balance. I really don't know what to do. Please somebody help. T_T
I have several unfinished projects saved on an external hard drive I started on an older Mac MacBook using premier pro cs6 my OS was Yosemite 10 , I tried connecting my external hard drive to a newer MacBook that I have now that also has premier pro cs6, when I try to finish the work I have started on my premier pro projects a window is displayed that says I am missing presets, how can I transfer the presets from my external drive to the newer MacBook , or is there another way to finish my incomplete premiere pro projects?
Thank you!
I was having the problem with the temporary unavailable while reinstalling (I watched your video on that too). I never replaced the disk, but "option+command+R" on startup did the trick. (Before it was trying to install Yosemite, but this reverted it back to Lion. Not a real issue.) thanks for the help, and please link the videos for future viewers.
+ImRylie Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic !! It worked - Thanks man 🤘🏽😇
When I hit download it says -200000004668 hours then 0 hours and then it says cant download the additional components needed to install Mac OS X. Is it time for a new computer?
Hello, did you later sort it out, I'm having the same issue too please tell me how you did yours if you've fixed it.
When i choose disk utility it doesnt show any hard disk at all
Same did you find out how to fix it?
I put my password on the recovery internet but it won’t load
Please I really need help! I'm facing same problem, I have tried anything and my Mac is not capable of seeing my harddisk.
This was really very helpful sir thank you so much🥺🥺🥺🥺
You are a genius man -Thank you so much.😊
What if it’s running windows 10? I bought mine like that trying to make it apple again
How did you know to partition them at 166GB? Is that different depending on the hard drive?
I was doing this because I want to leave some space for other purpose. You can utilize the whole space for that partition.
Thanks this video was really helpful
Wow thank you so much you've really helped me a lot
I follow the steps you video here but at the end of my session, it say that "This item is temporarily unavailable. Try again later. What do I do about this.
1. ensure your Internet is connected. (please try on a new hard drive as well, backup your data if you are going to wipe your existing hard drive.
2. Some models of Macbook Pro cannot be recovered via Internet. support.apple.com/kb/ht4904
3. You will need use USB stick to create a bootable drive and download the full image of Mac OS to do the recovery if no luck.
How and where can i download the image from a regular pc? and then how i create a bootable usb stick and put it inside?
Thanks in advanced, lior.

I have a issue with my MacBook pro The screen was cracked so I was using a external screen and I was still recording and storing vids thru iphoto on my cracked screen finally that stopped working, I paid to get the screen fixed and now it has a flashing folder on the screen. So he told me it was the hard drive So the guy took it's previous hard drive out and gave me a new one with the latest is. I'm trying to locate any of the stored data from the previous hard drive by connecting it to my iMac I see the hard drive but I can't locate its previous Vids of anything I recorded is there a ware that I Can possibly use to see if it was stored at all b4 the screen was cracked? Even when the screen cracked I was recording and playing back all my data? Do I have any idea what I can do to try to recover any of my vids stored recently? Anyone or even better how to remove the lock also
If the old hard drive went wrong, it might have trouble to read the data. The option is You can put the old hard drive in a USB hdd enclosure and try to plug it to your laptop and read /recover the data.

I got all the way until 6:21 and then it ask me to log in to app store. I put my logging and the it says "This item is temporary unavailable" why ?
Same! Need help!
The certificates of many of Apple's installer certificates expired in late October, 2019, so a lot of people have been having problems installing an OS that was previously downloaded from the app store - even if you burnt it to a CD or an USB stick. It has caused big messes that their support stuff hasn't a clue about fixing. This has been a problem with mainly the newer OS's but probably is affecting the older versions also. Apple has reposted some of the operating systems for download - mainly the newer ones - but if you go to their support and do a search for the one you're looking for (try "Lion download") you might be able to download it from there. Though if you have access to another Mac, after getting the glitch with the app store, try logging into the app store on the other Mac and there might be an option to download it again - I had the same problem with El Capitan then when I logged in from another drive, the download for it showed up in the App store so I had a fresh copy.
If not, people have been having success with the older (or expired) installers and using Recovery to reinstall by changing the date before reinstalling... (this is from an apple discussion post discussions.apple.com/thread/250793420?answerId=251691766022#251691766022 - go there for more help - or search more specifically for the OS you're trying to reinstall). The error message in this post is a bit different, but it might work.
Boot into Recovery again. Try to login the App store again (it will give you the same message). Restart again if it says to. Once you're back in Recovery, do the following...
Shut off WiFi (Airport - top right) and/or unplug Ethernet cord.
Drop down Utilities Menu at the top. Choose Terminal, then type this and only this: "date 0115124517" (without quotations - It will show new date with new time - Jan 1 12:45 2017 - any date in 2017 or earlier should work - you might have to experiment).
Quit Terminal - go back to the main menu and click on "Reinstall OS X" again. Hopefully it will install properly.
If you reboot and the machine gets hung up, zap the PRAM in between to clear out the air (Command + Option + R) - no brackets. Hold the key combo down for at least three reboots - then let go. Then either hold down the Option key to get a list of viable startup disks - or hold the key combo to get into recovery - Command + Option + R - I think.
I figured mine out and the last paragraph you wrote is exactly how i fixed mine!
@@MonkellD - good to know. Glad you figured it out. I spent weeks trying all sorts of "remedies" I found online trying to install El Capitan - then I found that post above about the changing of the date and it changed everything - it installed properly without any errors. Then I downloaded the upgraded installer from Apple's website, and made a new USB installer with Terminal and used that to install on the other drives without having to change the date.
The part about zapping the PRAM - well that always fixes something, doesn't it, lol. I found that when I'd try (and fail) to install El Capitan from the corrupted installers, not only the drive I was trying to install onto got screwed up, but it would go in a loop rebooting back only into the installer - no operable drives would show up - so I thought I'd give the PRAM zap a try and it broke the cycle. The corrupted El Capitan installer would destroy the permissions (and access to) of any drive I tried to install it onto and I would finally have to use Terminal to reset it's permissions. Totally crazy! I read that people had spent hours on the phone with Apple Support trying to find a solution, and not one of them ever suggested the time change - or even knew about the expired certificates in the installers.
The Anti Karen I’ll try it out hopefully it works I’m such a fun pass I was using current date
Did anybody hear this guy saying “why”? Apple is makes people questioned their self now 😂😂😂😂
It's very useful.. 🥰🥰
THANKS A LOT 🥰💯
Thanks for the tutorial 😊
Thank you!!!!! I almost died when i saw the flashing question mark..your advice worked!
Thanks for showing
Thank you so much, you’re the best.
Hi I get to the part where I have install OS Lion but it keeps saying its unavailable. How Do i get it? Thanks
I don’t have mine is saying choose network
God bless you sir, thank you so so much
None of this seemed to work for me so what I did was that I went to the disk I tried making during factory setting that’s turned corrupted, clicked erase, and then it let me repair + verify it so I did that, then it magically also let me connect to the WiFi and then I installed OS X Mountain Lion. Thankfully I could skip all this info bc it wasn’t working for me since I don’t have enough memory to make a partition LMAO
Thanks a lot it helped!!
its says not available
My MacBook stuck, it cannot download other components for mac os x..anyone xan help..i need to reinstall the macos because someone wanted to buy my MacBook.

I have tried this so many times, and it still says that "This item is temporarily unavailable" when I put in my Apple ID information. :( Please help me! Is there anything else I can try?
kryldon you need to use the original Apple ID you used to set up the Mac when you first got it
Even with the same Apple ID I still have the same problem :(
