Cannot Reinstall OS
I am trying to donate my old MacBook Pro 2012 to a needy family. I erased the hard drive and am now trying to reload the OS. I can open the Mac OS X Utilities tool (Command-R), and the Reinstall Mac OS X app, but the (Yosemite) reload process fails with a "A required download is missing."
I can also access Internet Restore and open the Mac OS X Utilities tool (Option-Command-R), and the Reinstall Mac OS X app, but the (Lion) reload process fails with "Can't download the additional components needed to install Mac OS X."
I have a boot disk with Leopard, but that doesn't work at all.
I can't schedule a Genius Bar appointment because the Apple Stores are closed and service is (very) limited.
Any ideas on how I can load *any* OS?
