I’m getting error during Reinstall OS X Installation on MacBook Air 2010

Hello, while installing Yosemite in the OS X install section(App store sing in )on the MacBook Air 2010, an unexpected error occurred while signing in.

,The server gave an error during download: 403

Please help me with the Forbidden error. The device is in Turkey. ————-///-Additional information: I have been trying to install for a long time and in addition, I have been trying all Mac OS versions on the device for a long time, but only Mountain Lion was the one, but when I was trying to upgrade it to High Sierra, OS X crashed and now it is Yosemite. I try and I get this error too (translated with Google translate)

Download macOS 10.13 High Sierra, and use that.

Use Option-Command-R to boot Recovery:

PS: HTTP 403 is a blockage on the Apple server, meaning the requested file is blocked by server policy. I would not expect the choice of Wi-Fi or Ethernet to make a difference there as both will access the Internet from the same router and same IP address, and as MacBook Air lacks Ethernet connection, which makes that path more involved as it needs a dongle. Again, HTTP 403 is a server blockage, not a local issue.

model: 2011 macbook air

upgraded to High Sierra, bootcamp installed. everything has been working well for years.


problem: one day battery drained and all the problems started.


wouldn't recharge, lag from kernal_task, wiped the osx drive for reinstall ended up reverting back to lion, no battery icon anymore, cant connect to appstore apple servers, cant upgrade to el capitan to try to upgrade back to HS, still no battery icon.


tried solution: smc/pram reset, cmd+r recovery doesn't work for el capitan, only lion can recover and reinstall(back to no apple servers, no battery icon) bootable usb el cap no luck option + installer, took out battery plug in back reset smc no luck however charge color stayed orange for a little still no battery icon after replug and reset, cant put hs on usb even from other mac (sonoma) tried the change date terminal, couldnt find the command in installer log to change to connect appler servers.


imo this is def software issue. just trying to get back to hs to see if charging will work again.


can get back to lion np but atill no battery still cant connect apple servers.


help need a fix.
