I was playing with the trackpad, and I got the WIFI menu to open. There was a check mark by my WIFI menu. Then in the recovery utility menu I chose the help item which opened a web page. I figured, what have I got to lose? I pressed command l and typed in a web address. Safari told me that my system clock was set incorrectly and that the web site could not be opened because Safari could not guarantee my privacy. I clicked the more details button and was eventually able to click a button that said that if I understood the risk that I could connect to the site. And then, I was able to connect to the site. Now, I must add here that the guy from Apple accessibility I spoke to had me go into terminal and change the date. He thought that might help. I’m wondering how I could reset the clock to the correct date using Terminal? I wonder if that is what might be presenting me from contacting the recovery server?

The problem occurred when I started the process to install High Sierra. I got distracted by one thing or another, and I mistakenly closed the lid on my machine. I attempted to restart, and after turning Voice Over on, all I heard was “installer progress has no windows.” After a number of tries, I managed (I think) to put my Mac into recovery mode. Since I didn’t have a current time machine backup, I chose the option to download and install a fresh OS. After pressing the “continue” button several times, I was told that I was not entitled to do this by Apple. Now, I have a bit of a hearing loss, and Voice Over with Fred is not always clear to me, but that’s what it sounded like. Does anyone on this list have a clue as to how I proceed, or does my Mac have to go to the hospital?
