Hello,
first of all, sorry because of my bad english skills 🙂
I have a problem with my macbook and i hope you can help me. My mpb crashed and i have to reinstall os x, no backup 😟. but i dont have a cd or an image. it seems that the only way to download os x is by downloading it from the app store.
iam the only one with an macbook and no one can help me to download it.
can anyone of you give me link to download an iso-file of osx?
thank you
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
we can not provide you with something illegal, and what you are asking for is illegal.
if you system was built after 2012 you can use recovery or internet recovery
About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
if your system supported Snow Leopard at any time you can purchase OS 10.6.8 from Apple and update to 10.11.6 from Apple

Otherwise you can download OS's you are licensed to use on your account and make bootable images
hm,... i tried to recover it but as i wrote before i had to buy a new harddrive there is no os installed.
why is it illegal ? i bought a macbook including os x ?! 😟
and the OS was pre-installed.
A disk was provided by Apple at time of purchase or the option for recovery was built into the computer depending on the age of the computer and aside from purchases authorized from the Apple Store that is the extent of what you are licensed to use and legally obtain for working copies of the OS. If Apple.com or one of it's owned and authorized subsidiaries do not host an ISO and we provide you a link to something outside that it's tantamount to software piracy.
Apple does not host ISO images. The methods above are permitted, anything else is not.
If this answer is not satisfactory there are other forums on the web that might provide you with the information you are looking for and in which case any ISO from anywhere should be approached with caution as the legality of it would be a violation of Apple's agreement with you owning their proprietary hardware and the validity of the ISO as being legitimate is in question.
okay, i tried the internet recovery one more time and now it works... i dont know why but before the recovery didnt start...
right now it seems that my mac is downloading something 😀 i dont know what is downloading but something happens 🙂
thank you
It is downloading the OS X that came with your Mac. Check to see if there is and update for that version and install it. Then go to the Mac App Store and upgrade to El Capitain.
Have a nice day.
OS X Download
