    Thank you for the video, I hope your life will make things easier for you.. At first I panicked because previously my MacBook had fallen even though it just fell from a chair, and it was in a bag... At first I was just normal, but when a folder with a question mark appeared I panicked... I looked for solutions here and there, Google, RUclips, even Stack Overflow. Everyone said there was a problem with the SSD, or they needed to reinstall MacOS. when I found this video, it turned out that I only needed the first step by pressing the option/alt button, and everything returned to normal... Thank you very much❤❤

Now I'm downloading the macOS high Sierra, the year I bought my mac. This saved my life.

    I have a Mac mini 2007 and I've tried all of these methods but it still just comes to the question mark. I never even get to the bios. The hdd is clean (been in a HP pc before) and I wanted to install windows on it without luck (it doesn't detect my usb stick) so I tried installing mac 10.7 fresh with the exact same results but when I try with Linux it comes to the grub menu.
    So iso-file with linux works but iso with windows and dmg (mac iso) with mac does not work. I don't get it.
    This is my only apple pc, so I cannot copy from other hdds.

      Your disk drive cant boot or the mac OS is corrupted on it, install mac OS on a usb stick and it should boot straight to recovery/utility. This will probably only work if you erased your drive or formated it as APFS. Also try holding Alt instead of command R.

      @@sammycalderon4904 I'm so so sorry man, but you may be in a bit of a pickle. I ended up purchasing a whole new computer, and that computer ended up unsalvageable. I'm so sorry.

    None of these worked for me. I didn't see any startup disk or disk utility at all. Only the internet recovery option was visible. Clearly my Mac was unable to detect the hard drive at all. Turns out, the issue was with the transfer cable of the hard disk, not with the hard disk itself. Phew. Got a replacement HDD transfer cable off Amazon for 20dollars and it worked. No data loss and back to normal usage!

    No one can solve my flashing folder issue. I seen all videos on RUclips and I also contacted to apple support, but nothing happened. Now I have last option is apple service center. But I can't go outside due to coronavirus.
    Thanks for your help, but unhappy ..😥😥😥

    My Mac isn’t even letting me go into recovery mode. I just see the globe and “choose a network”. After I choose the network, the globe spins with a progress bar and then it gives me a globe with a alert sign. I have checked apple support but nothing is working. What should I do.
