Hello! I decided to completely erase all data from my MacBook Air 2011 High Sierra.

After deleting it, I can't restore it; I get an error. Please tell me what to do. Thank you!

Since you did not post the actual text of that error message, I cannot tell what it says.


However, the most common error for reinstalling macOS High Sierra can be resolved by using Fix #3 in the following article:

Hi! There's no such error with the link in the journal. What should I do in this case?

Please provide a text version of the error message shown in the picture so I can have it translated.


Are you booting into the local Recovery Mode (Command + R) or Internet Recovery Mode (Command + Option + R)? Try the latter Internet Recovery Mode (Command + Option + R) just in case there is an issue with the files on the internal SSD that may affect local Recovery Mode.


Can you still boot macOS on the internal drive? If so, then I highly recommend creating a bootable macOS High Sierra USB installer using the instructions in the following Apple article:

Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support


If you cannot boot this 2011 laptop from the internal drive, then do you have access to another working Mac model 2008 to 2018? If so, then it can be used to create a bootable macOS El Capitan or High Sierra USB installer.

  • macOS High Sierra -- Late-2009 to 2018 model
  • macOS El Capitan -- 2008 to 2015 model


You can use the information in the following article to confirm hardware & OS compatibility of the other Mac since the other Mac must be able to run version of macOS for the USB installer you are creating (that other Mac can currently be running any version of macOS 10.6+):
