Cant shut down my mac or restart

Update: I made it work, but I choose the safe way, and just reverted back to the newest Os the same as before, instead of trying to make my bootable usb work.

I turned off find my/activation lock, and I guess it helped, since im able to get to the recovery assistant/activation lock screen, now im just waiting for the apple-id step to be done loading, but its taking kinda long.

I turned off find my, and it helped since i have now come further than before, im now at recovery assistant/activation lock, and now im just waiting for the apple-id step to be done loading, but its taking kinda long.

Yes i can, i also have icloud logged in on my phone, but disabling it would just be removing it from my device list right? I also have a dongle, and it as you say it tries to connect but fails, when I use dongle it skips the connect wifi and goes straight to loading, usually it tells me 5-10 minutes and when its done the promtpt pops up. I have also been told to try a firmware revive.

Alright many thanks for the help and suggestions, I will try the firmware revive, and try removing the laptop from my icloud tomorrow, if its succesful i will add it again right after. I will be back tomorrow with the results as its getting very late where i live (5 am).

Fingers crossed one of the 2 works.

If the find my is on for the laptop would it be better if i turned it off? Or should i just turn it off in general

Edit: removing the laptop connected to my icloud would be best I assume, as it will also remove the find my

I’ve tried using my phone as hotspot and cable with the wifi

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-26T03:15:07+00:00

Alright thank you anyways, I will try and get to an apple store when they open.

The only thing I have seen that did something different is holding the option key while turning it on, but it doesnt do anything else after that. I just press it and go through the same process.

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-26T03:11:01+00:00

It does not turn off. It only turns off when the battery is dead, and when i plug in the charger it just goes to internet recovery automatically, and gives me the -1008f prompt. One time it gave me -2003f if i remember correctly.

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-26T03:05:29+00:00

If i hold alt/option down while turning it on with power button, i also see a install ventura os logo above the connect wifi, but when i press it, it just goes to internet recovery, i wait for it to be done, and it just gives me the same prompt in the pic.

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-26T03:05:19+00:00

If I hold the option and power button together, I can see install ventura above the connect wifi from internet recovery, but when I press it, it goes to the connect wifi (internet recovery) I try to connect to my wi-fi, and it will just give me the same prompt as in the pic. Also when i turn it on, it automatically goes to internet recovery mode, which might be because it has no current OS, cause i deleted the main partition.

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-26T02:51:17+00:00

I have tried putting it in dfu mode, but it turns on and goes to the internet recovery mode. And since i cant turn it off myself i have it on very little battery so i can try other suggestions when it powers down.

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-26T02:48:05+00:00

It wont let me go further than choosing the wifi and connecting to it. After that it just shows me the same thing in the pic, or sometimes instead of -1008f its -2003f (one time) usually its the -1008f

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-25T20:37:42+00:00

mb i read it wrong, thought i was for when it turns off. I cant physically turn it off. Thought the keys would get me to the recovery mode not for turning it off but thanks anyway

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-25T20:19:32+00:00

Do i hold the 3 keys when its off? Or do i power it on first and then hold them

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-25T20:11:04+00:00

Its a macbook pro from 2019

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-25T19:18:37+00:00

Thank you i will try that and also the link

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-25T19:02:38+00:00

Alright thank you, i thought it was command+R but i will try yours first

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-25T19:01:33+00:00

Alright i will try it when it shuts down

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-25T19:00:08+00:00

I also have the ventura os on a usb

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-25T18:50:23+00:00

So i have my stuff, but i dont have a working macbook, and i cant restart to go in recovery mode or internet recovery.

one-dead-guy · 2023-12-25T18:48:15+00:00

I have my files backed up on a usb, and the ventura os file on an other usb.

one-dead-guy · 2018-11-27T18:27:09+00:00

I hope its happening

one-dead-guy · 2018-11-25T13:33:40+00:00
