factory reset I am wanting to update my late 2013 iMac, basically as high as I could get it. I tried to update to High Sierra, but told me I can't bc I need 10.13 or higher. I was wanting to just do a factory reset, but didn't want to completely mess the computer up. If I reset it recovery mode will it reinstall the correct OS?

How do I upgrade an old iMac mid 2010? I have an older iMac mid 2010. I can't update to High Sierra (the latest OS that is supported on that model) because I can't sign in to my Apple ID, and I can't sign in to my Apple ID because my iMac is too out of date. I know I have the correct password because it works on every other device. Every time I put in my correct password, it tells me it's incorrect. If I try and make a new Apple ID on my old computer, it tells me there's a server error. I've done all of this in SafeMode. I've restarted my computer countless times. What do I do?

Hi Bornsupreme,

What is the year and current macOS version of your Mac? (See Image)

Cheers,

Jack
