Late 2010 Air Not Able To Connect To Recovery Server I have a late 2010 MacBook Air. I was able to successfully erase the HD through recovery but now I’m not able to reinstall High Sierra. I’ve tried for several days with the continuous error of “the recovery server could not be contacted.” My date and time is correct. My internet connection is active and accessible. I’ve tried everything I can.

Reinstalling macOS on 2018 MBA Hi, I have an old MBA from 2018 with the Intel Core i5 (I'll attach an image below)One of my friends gave it to me and he had chromeOS Flex installed on it. I restarted the device while pressing CMD&R so I could reinstall macOS but it keeps saying it cannot connect to recovery server. I have reset the date and my Wi-Fi has no issues. With no success, I have no options but to ask you guys for support. (PS) If I need another computer for the process, the only other device I have is a 2020 M1 MBA.

If you have another Mac that can run High Sierra, you can use the link to the High Sierra installer that is found within this doc: How to download and install macOS - Apple Support

With that you can Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support.
