Osx Sierra Wifi Issues 2017 Mac Was Not

I have not tried installing a fresh copy of high sierra using any of these methods, user SirJori reported that even with a USB mousekeyboard using a USB drive didnt work, as it was caught in a loop back to the recovery each time he tried to install.

Osx Sierra Wifi Issues 2017 Mac Was Not

The 2011 iMac was not able to find my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2AA version; A1314) or my Magic Trackpad 1 (A1339.) Even trying to put the devices into pair mode (holding the power button until the green light flashed) didnt work.

The only way I was able to proceed with the install process was to hook up a generic USB wired keyboard and mouse.

Anyway, I thought it was odd, and have never had an installer forget my keyboard and trackpad before.

I didnt actually start the install process as this was just a test to see if I had correctly made the boot USB installer.

When I rebooted into my external SSD thunderbolt drive with High Sierra, there was no issues recognizing the keyboard or trackpad.

As an additional test, I then booted into recovery software (Command R upon powering up) and the keyboardtrackpad worked normally there.

It looks like the only time the computer forgot its keyboardtrackpad (and would not find them) is if I use the USB install drive I created.

I was wondering if anyone else had tried to create an install USB, and if they had the same issues with bluetooth keyboardtrackpad as me I wonder if it is because I am using bluetooth 2.1 rather than the bluetooth 4.0 that is in new iMacs.

It also wasnt seen booting via CommandR.

Like you, I am planning on making a USB installer.

After a while, it rebooted, took a while, and eventually gave me the trying to find bluetooth mouse screen.

After fighting with it a while, I plugged in a cheap mouse I had lying around and it moved on.

I got the recovery mode menu, but I didnt realize I cant use it to install High Sierra.

So it looks like if I have a hard drivessd go bad the only option is now internet recovery, correct Does that install the latest macOS, or only the one that shipped with the computer Edit 1: I went ahead and booted the install usb again, and plugged in a usb keyboardmouse.

Install macOS (Upgrade or Install a new copy of macOS) is the second option.

I am able to select a drive, but dont have one right now I can erase for a functional test.

Edit 2: This time I used internet recovery, no issues with my bluetooth keyboardtrackpad.

I checked, and it was going to install High Sierra vs Snow leopard that originally came with the computer.

Just to recap: Making a USB flash drive made the computer forget the trackpadkeyboard and trying to pair them again didnt work.

Using either the local or the internet recovery didnt have this issue.
