Q: New HD for mac11,2 OSX issue

imac mac11,2 i3

 

Was given a mac to fix, basically the 500GB HD was reformatted, meaning no recorvery partition and OSX not installed

 

Also i have no recovery disks

 

So i decided to install a new HD 1TB

 

i have made the HD 1 partition, with the  GUID Partition Table (standard stuff you need to do to a new HD)

 

Now i fort i could just use my macbook pro to download the yosemite from the app store create a bootble USB and run the install, but then again it made me think after try with lion, mavericks and yosemite this is not possible

 

Im guesing i need the recovery disks to instal OSX that way where it will download it from the App store, can anyone shed some light

iMac

    How did you create this bootable USB flash drive? Did you do this:

     

    Make your own Yosemite flash drive installer using the Yosemite tool:

     

    You can create a Yosemite flash drive installer via the Terminal. Yosemite has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:

     

    You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

     

    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following command line in its entirety into the Terminal window.

     

    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app

     

    Press RETURN, enter admin password (will not echo to the window) then press RETURN again.

     

    You need to have the installer in your Applications folder or change the paths in the above command line.

     

    When it's completed be sure to test if can boot your computer. If so, then use it to boot the one you are working on.

     

    Oh, be sure you download the Yosemite Installer Application from the App Store using the Apple ID and password of the person who owns the Mac you are repairing. Don't use your Apple ID.

    You should not need the recovery discs. Boot from the USB flash drive when it's finished. The installer will load. Select the disk on which to install, then click on the Install button.

     

    It matters because the download is connected to the Apple ID of the person who downloaded it. That Apple ID will be tied to the installation for any future upgrades. If it has your Apple ID, then the person who owns that computer will not be able to upgrade without using your Apple ID and password.

    So used the terminal to make a bootable USB stick, same situation as before but this time it gets half way and turns of the imac and restarts, it doesn't even report back that an issue occurred

    I don't really understand what you did. After installing Snow Leopard initially did the computer work OK? The only update you needed to access the App Store was Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. There is no point in downloading Lion if you want to install Yosemite. Just download the Yosemite installer from the App Store.

     

    Might I suggest you remove all third-party peripherals including hubs. Only use the Apple keyboard and mouse.

     

    The report is a kernel panic log. What you pasted here is what they look like. See OS X- About kernel panics. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics.
