Cannot reinstall OS X El Capitan : PLEASE help!!
Hi, I am due to hand over my Imac (2012) tomorrow... i thus did a full erase of all the data (only backing up the files I needed). The computer now boots up into the Utility Disk, prompting me to reinstall OS X... The problem is that when i do so (apple id etc all OK), i am prompted to install OS X El Capitan... but it will not install!! I keep getting prompted to re-enter my account info, which is accepted, but when I click on "continue", another page appears again asking me to log in... over and over.
I read online that this is a common problem when trying to install OS X El Capitan "directly", and that I first need to install Yosemite... how do I do that?? On the IMac in question I cannot access any software that will allow me on to the internet to download Yosemite -- I have Macbook Pro : Can I download the OS on to an external hard drive and use it to boot/install on the Imac? Where can I get an "external" copy of Yosemite (I have looked but found nothing).
I need to solve this by tomorrow morning... PLEASE help.
Thank you
