iMac not reinstalling OS X El Capitan I have an iMac early 2009 and I have just erased its internal hard drive but when I go to reinstall my filmware it either says error 1004 App Store or doesn’t boot in. I have tried several times by looking it up on the internet or restarting it but still nothing works. I know it’s very old, but I would love to get this thing working again.
