Comment by Jonah on "How To Disable Remote Management and Device Enrollment Notifications on Mac Os."

I was trying #1 for a new mac I bought second hand. These are the new ones I guess, because to enter in the recovery mode it's not with "Boot into recovery mode using command + R. ", but just boot and keep pressing the power button until it shows up.

regardless, when reaching step 2: "Disable internet connection on initial setup.", I don't seem to have that option. I just have an 'Activate Mac' screen that says to "Select a Wi-Fi network from the menu or attach a network cable to proceed". I don't have an option anywhere to proceed without a connection, I think. Any ideas?

Hi Jonah,

What year and version is your Macbook and also which Mac OS is it currently running on? Is it an M1 or Intel chip?

This post was written when I was using an intel chip. I haven't encountered this issue on an M1 chip yet.

Let me know more so I can guide you on what to do. Thanks.

Uchenna Egbo thanks for the response! I believe it's the current model, according to the # on the back (A2485). It's an M1 chip. There is no OS installed because I erased it already I'm afraid, so this is what I'm getting when trying to install it new (the laptop was acquired from a startup that went bust)

Honestly, that's a weird one. So it doesn't even allow you to install a new Mac OS?

Maybe you would have to take it to a physical repairs shop where they would use the disk utility method to install a new Mac OS for you.

That's all I can think of now.

Uchenna Egbo yeah, I think I'll have to do that. thanks a lot for the article tho, very useful to know about this stuff
