The error code -2005F on your Mac usually appears when you try to use macOS Internet Recovery, for example by starting with Command + Option + R, and there is something wrong with the connection to Apple's servers.
What does error code -2005F mean?
The error -2005F usually indicates a network problem, causing your Mac to connect to Apple's macOS recovery servers. This can be due to:
Poor or unstable Wi-Fi connection
Secure networks (such as a captive portal in a hotel or school)
DNS or firewall issues
Problems on the Apple side (rare)
Solutions you can try:
✅1. Use a wired internet connection
Connect your Mac to the Internet via an Ethernet cable (optionally use a USB-C to Ethernet adapter).
Try restarting in internet recovery with Command + Option + R.
✅2. Check your Wi-Fi
Use a home network, not public or secure networks.
Ensure a stable connection (for example, try another router or hotspot).
✅3. Reset NVRAM and SMC
Turn off your Mac.
Turn it on and immediately hold down these keys: Option + Command + P + R (for about 20 seconds).
Then try again with Command + Option + R.
