Nightmare. Big picture is need full original Mojave installer BUT...read on.
Hi. MANY years ago, like 6 years ago, I bought a used 2015 Macbook Pro. I no longer have the contact info from the seller. Yesterday, 6 years later, I decided to wipe clean the computer, hopefully reinstall the original OS (Mojave) so I can build a new iTunes library for my old iPods where music is backed up on external hard drives. Called Apple Support. They had me to a Remote Internet Recovery: Option-Command-R. After the install was complete, that recovery loaded OS Monterey, not Mojave, AND a nightmare scenario. The computer was actually owned and being remote managed by Sirius XM Radio and I couldn't get past their login/password screen. So I talked to their Corporate Support folks and they basically said "too bad, so sad, keep the computer but we are not going to help you zap our remote management AND we will *not* send you a letter or confirmation we are letting you keep it. You're on your own. So I decided to backtrack out of the install process, disconnect from wi-fi, install as if I had no wi-fi and now I have a fresh install of Monterey without remote management but I want Mojave. Went to App Store to try and "GET" Mojave and was unable to download from the App Store and the error message says "This copy of Install MacOS application is too old to be opened on this version of macOS." The current version is 12.7.4. How can I get an install of Mojave AND how can I remove this Sirius XM Remote management since they don't want their computer back and won't help. FYI- I am a little old lady and not a computer professional so I need simple instructions. Please. Thank you.
