Reinstall Os X Yosemite

Steps to take to reinstall Safari: Remove Safari with Clean My Mac (or something similar, simply dragging it to the trash doesn't work) Ask a friend/colleague (someone you trust not to have adapted the file) to upload his Safari to a server or dropbox (or something similar) Download the just-uploaded Safari. Drag it from your download-folder to. Apr 15, 2015 When you first start up in OS X utilities, there is a table with four options, restore from Time Machine backup, reinstall OS X, get help online, and Disk Utility. Navigate as you would other tables in OS X and click continue to open it. From there, it should behave like the Disk Utility on your startup disk.

Hi all

I am trying to reinstall OS X Yosemite onto a MacBook Pro Late 2008 version. We are selling the Mac, and have conducted the steps described in 'What to do before selling or giving away your Mac', i.e. deauthorizing from iTunes etc, and erasing all data from the harddrive. I am using an ethernet connection.


When trying to install Yosemite, after entering my Apple ID and password, I keep getting the message 'This item is temporarily unavailable'.


I found members stating that this can be due to the App Store being flooded with requests, but this has been going on for three days now, and I find that a bit unusal.. Especially since the first installation onto our old Mac took one evening..
