Hi everyone,
I tried to completely clean an iMac 27inch medio 2011 because it wasn't used in a while. After trying to get rid of everything (option-command-R-P) I tried to use internet recovery (option-command-R) to get it up and running again. Sadly after seeing a globe turn for about a hour I keep getting the following error:
1206F
Can someone help my out?
thanks!
iMac 27″, OS X 10.10
Do you have anybody that can put OSX or the installer on an external drive or USB stick & try alt key on startup?
Did you see the other startup key combos in this Apple article:
How to reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery - Apple Support
There are also additional instructions there.
Yes, alt or option, Apple even had it marked ⌥ at one time.")
10.13.6 for your iMac.
Don't use FireFox for this link…

If you get a corrupted message...
Naw, not damaged, it's just that you have an old copy already in Applications, there are 2 cures...
Disconnect from the Internet & set the Date back to 2014, then you can run the Install MacsOS High Sierra App in Applications, so expired Certificates are not expired.
Or... trash the Install MacsOS High Sierra.app in Applications then a new copy more recent version can be downloaded.
Does it have any OS installed at the moment?
I don't think it has. In a previous attempt to put it back to factory settings I erased the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in Disk Utility.
I have the possibility myself! What OSx should I download voor my particularly iMac?
I am sorry but do you mean with "alt" the option button?
Great news, take care my friend! :)
Hi,
Yes I did but when I try the reinstall macOS button (because I don't have a backup of use) I keep getting the following error:
"a required download is missing"
Perhaps the solution of BDAqua will solve this as well?
Or...
1. Start up from macOS Recovery
To start up from macOS Recovery, turn on your Mac and immediately press and hold the following combinations on your keyboard.
Option-⌘-R
Upgrade to the latest macOS compatible with your Mac.
