Well anyway, I did some more research, and I found a Thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, and I wanted to ask before I bought it, would that adapter work for internet recovery? Would it recognize the Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter that is connected and automatically start downloading the recovery software from the Internet recovery server? Again, I'm only asking this because that would bypass tha choose a network screen, which voiceover does not read, and I wanted to ask to make sure it would work before I buy it. The only reason I know all of this is because my Mom, who is sighted, told me that's what was happening. Youre all set Your adapter works Apologize to the people you care about for the things youve said over the past few hours. Hit the + button in the bottom right, select the 'USB 2.0 10/100M Ethernet Adapter', and hit add.
Open System Preferences, and go to the Network Pane. I tried purchasing the usb to Ethernet adapter, and tried using an Ethernet cable with that to see if internet recovery could recognize that it was connected, but it didn't, it still said, choose a network. Plug in your USB Adapter, with a live ethernet cable. I was able to remedy this problem with my old macbook pro from 2011 because it had a built in Ethernet port. Because of that I cannot choose the network because voiceover can't tell me what is on the screen. The problem is, voiceover doesn't work at that screen in internet recovery that says, choose a network. Because I am blind, I have to be able to use voiceover in order to use a mac, without voiceover I would not be able to use the computer at all. When you first start internet recovery, you get a screen that says, choose a network.
I often times do clean installs of Mac oS to troubleshoot problems I'm having, even just to restore the computer to default settings using internet recovery.
I am blind, but never the less I work on and fix computers for a living.
