Could Not Find Ation Information For This Hine Download The OS

They were helpful, but they couldnt fix could not find installation information for this machine, but they suggested I use a second mac to download the OS.

But, I finally fixed it and figured out whats wrong, and I wanted to share so that someone else will benefit from my experience.

First off, during the few times I tried this, when I restart, I would get error -2006F.

You can work around this by pressing Option while mac is turning on, instead of the regular commandR.

Second, reason why it gave me could not find installation information for this machine is because the mac connected to a different wireless network than mine, between the time I started the internet recovery process and re-install utility.

Going to the upper right corner, then selecting my wifi again fixed this issue.

If youve already tried that you may, indeed, need to contact AppleCare support.

And after that just click the re install OSX 10 again and your done.

The most likely is the internet connection you have is not allowing access to Apples OS X Recovery servers.

Perhaps you are on a corporate network that blocks the required ports, or perhaps the ISP you use blocks some things.

Another definite possibility that I have seen numerous times, is that the date and time are not correct.

This can happen if the machine has been in sotrage for some time, or the battery ran flat at some stage.

Recovery boot appears to work better form a device that has the default Jan 1 1976 something date and time, rather than be off by a few years or days.

To check type: date To set the date use: date monthdayhourminuteyear Every bracket should be replaced with a two-digit number.

For example, March 18th 2013 12:50 would become the following command: date 0318125013.

Finally I used my thunderbolt to ethernet adapter (plugged in the cable to connect to internet) and it resolved the issue.
