How do I reinstall Mac OS X Yosemite on my IMac From 2008 with error message Hey everyone, am here because I’ve seen a lot of people have had this issue and I can’t really seem to find answers but how do I reinstall Mac OS Yosemite? I saw one single person talk about a solution to this that made sense but at the same time I’m confused, so I need the Apple ID and password that originally came with the IMac to redownload or can I use just any Apple ID that’s downloaded OS X? Any help would be greatly appreciated I’ve tried literally everything.

You'll have new system files for whatever system you're reinstalling.

As far as your user data it depends on how you reinstall the system.
