How do I fix my MacBook Air. It’s stuck on the apple activate Mac screen and keeps asking me to select Wi-Fi but there aren’t any options listed only the smiley greyed out face and the restart button

Hi Qjay1,

Thanks for posting that screenshot!

Unfortunately, in certain scenarios, macOS Recovery fails to show the Wi-Fi icon in the top right corner. There's three options available to fix this for now:

• Connect an Ethernet adapter and cable to your Mac,

• Erase your Mac (click Recovery Assistant at the top, and select "Erase Mac")

• Revive or restore the firmware (requires a second Mac): Revive or restore a Mac with Apple silicon using Apple Configurator - Apple Support (CA)

Hope this helps!

If your Mac desktop can install the latest version of Apple Configurator from the App Store, then it work fine :)

To restore the firmware, you'll either need a USB to USB-C cable, or a USB-C to USB-C cable. Thunderbolt-only cables won't work for this.
