![]() Thanks for any advice / help you can offer ![]() thought it would be easier than this, but perhaps I was wrong!! Never reset one / wiped one to start again. I'm fairly tech savvy but haven't used Macs much past what you get on screen. I've got TransMac on my PC now and have a USB Formatted to Mac format.īut how do I get that USB to be bootable with (frankly, now) any of the OS X that will work on this 2011 Macbook Air? I was hoping I could make a bootable USB and get the Lion or El Capitan or High Sierra install files on there and load from that but I've had no success. This is the only Mac I have, my other computers are Windows 10 machines. which gets me to exactly the same point as above, with the same out: "can't download the additional components". I've tried several times, on different Wifis just in case.Īt some point I found out about the Cmd-R or Cmd-Alt-R shortcut when booting, which seemed to start "Internet Recovery" or something. "Can't download the additional components needed to install Max OS X." a few seemingly random numbers underneath appear: "About -2,147,323,123 hours and 11 minutes remaining" and then after maybe 30 seconds, this message: The progress bar appears, almost fully blue immediately. Do the Continues and Yeses and Agrees, choose my Macintosh HD as the install location (120.47 GB total, 120.25 GB available). ![]() The current situation is this: I have wiped my Macbook Air 2011, and get to the Mac OS X Utilities page after booting, with four options:Īs I want a fresh install, I go to Resintall Mac OS X. I moved all my old files off it and wanted to wipe it to start again with the highest OS X that it will take (which I'm sure isn't Catalina 10.15, but I think somewhere online said High Sierra 10.13 was the highest this age of Macbook Air could take)Īnyway. ![]() It hasn't been used for years but I wanted to try to resurrect it. I have an old Macbook Air from 2011 which is running Max OS X Lion 10.7. ![]()
