this video is to show you how you can format your MacBook Air/ MacBook pro by using an online recovery as well as by erasing and formatting the pc. it goes through all the steps especially when the error message “can’t install additional components for MacBook” and wont let you download it. sorry about the images, i literally just took them from Google Images to have a proper explanation of what to do when formatting the mac
a lot of people have been asking me what happens if you you get to the bootloader and all that comes up is “Macintosh HD” , then this is what you have to do:
go to your terminal on your desktop by pressing the command button and space bar and typing in ‘terminal’ in the spotlight search, or you can do it from the launchpad.
once in the terminal, type: diskutil list
then exit the terminal.
then turn of the Mac, turn it back on using cmd+ R and then see if “Recovery HD” is listed.
If not, your recovery partition does not exist, you must have formatted the hard disk or may have deleted it. this problem seems to be occurring with people who mainly have a older mac, ive noticed.
if you would like me to make a video about something specific, drop me an email, or if you have only a small question then i should be able to help as soon as possible!
if you have any questions, email me on my website or leave a comment! .
