I could use some #macOS help. Anyone know how to resolve issue with recovery server being unreachable? I am unable to run the latest High Sierra upgrade.
@bfgreen it means your recovery partition is unusable. Try this go to utilities and run disk utility select the recovery partition and do first aid on it. do the same on your main partition as well if it has problems run it a few times. if that don't work you may need to start up off a flash drive or external hard drive
@Sam_Goodman what if I don’t see a recovery partition?
@bfgreen this is what I see for my internal HD this is also without a recovery partition
@bfgreen whats happening is more than one app is trying to write info to the ame space on the hard drive. when that happens either the app crashes or the computer crashes if it is the os doing it.if its just some app you seldom use it may not be a problem
@Sam_Goodman to be fair nothing is crashing and my MacBook has been running fine. I was just trying to update to High Sierra and get the error that the recovery servers cannot be contacted.
@bfgreen crao even after running disk utility? Get a portable hard drive and copy everything over to it. reformat the drive after restarting the computer from the external Hard drive in the control panel startup disk then copy the information back. they might be able to do that at the apple store if you dont have a external hard drive
