Installing MacOs Sierra I reset my MacBook Air yesterday. I erased my disk utility, now I need to install macOS Sierra. However, a pop up message, « macOS failed to download. Download from purchases page » appears. How do I access purchases page when I’ve just reset my Mac and have no access to my App Store?

Reinstall MacOS 10.13 I have a 9 year old MacBook Pro running High Sierra that I used until one month ago when I replaced it with a new MacBook Pro. I found I can get a $50 trade in for the old one, so why not? I used Disk Utility to erase the drive. But I neglected to make a copy of High Sierra to reinstall before I send the machine for trade in. I think the trade in needs a machine that can be booted up, so I tried to reinstall High Sierra from Recovery mode's Disk Utility, Reinstall MacOS option. It found my wifi link and apparently started to download the installer, but crashed after about 20 minutes. I have a copy of the Install Log, if that's of any use to an expert, but I'm not trained enough to understand it. And I don't suppose it's possible to upload the log file to this forum, or is it? The paper clip logo below is apparently for a typed URL link, not a file name to be uploaded. Anyway, what can I do now to be able to reinstall MacOS 10.13 High Sierra. Any constructive help will be very much appreciated.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Also try the Safe Mode.
