I have removed data from my iMac, I am now trying to reinstall Yosemite for my Son, using his Apple ID.I continually receive a message "This item is temporarily unavailable!" However, when I try using my Apple ID, it starts to load. How can I get around this?
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
I suspect that your iMac is still registered in your name.
Make a Yosemite USB installer:

Then erase the HDD and have your son install Yosemite via the USB installer.
Ciao.

I omitted one step. When you erase the HDD in the iMac, install the original OSX with your son's name. That will then register it with his Apple ID. Then install Yosemite. Apologies for the error.
