Connect 2 MacBooks over firewire So, i have 2 MacBook Pro‘s. 1 (mbp 2012 15“) running macos high sierra and 1 (mbp mid 2010 13“) running no os. I already tried to use an Install usb but no luck. All the key combinations (cmd + r, T, cmd + alt + r) do not work. I cant seem to find an 2010 mbp grey install disk as i don't have mine anymore. Can i connect 2 macs over firewire 800 and install the macos operating system over this or will it not work as „T“ on startup doesn’t work?

Start it up while holding down the T key. For more informations: Transfer files between two Mac computers using target disk mode - Apple Support.

The 2005 Mac Minis were all PowerPC G4 models and shipped with OS X 10.3.7 - 10.4.2. The early (Feb) 2006 model was an Intel Core Solo processor and shipped with OS X 10.4.5.
