[WayBack] Recovery partition: “Restore From Time Machine Backup” stuck at 43.6% for more than 60 minutes – Ask Different
Steps since then:
- Restoring an image backup failed: same situation
- (it took an hour to verify the media, then an OK button appeared before continuing to restore in the middle of the night; actual restore took 4+ hours)
- Reinstalling OS X 10.9.5 failed: error -4403F
- Restoring a prior Time Machine backup hung at less than 50% (taking like 6 hours)
- Reinstalling OS X 10.9.5 over a different fiber connection worked
- Mounting the image backup succeeded, but took 3 hours to complete “verifying…”
- Migration Assistent on the image backup worked fine
In total it took 2.5 days to get the machine back in working condition.

There was no transparent proxy inbetween the MacBook and Apple so these didn’t help:
- If you are running a transparent HTTP proxy on your network, you may have trouble with running Internet Recovery and Apple Hardware Test on Macs that support it. You’ll see a “-4403D or -4403F… [WayBack] Apple Internet Recovery and Transparent Proxies | David Andrzejewski
