Hello all! So, I have very little background in Mac OS, I did hackintosh back in the netbook days. Know a bit of linux, know a lot of Windows.
Anyways, I have actually two Mac computers. iMac 2009? And this Mac Book air 2017. This iMac, I need to reinstall OSX on. I swapped the hard drive out and now I am just met with a greyish screen with a folder blinking.
Before I swapped the hard drive, I would get to sign in to the Apple ID screen, sign in than I would get some error. I brought the iMac home, now when I try to reinstall OSX, I received an error saying to try again later every time. I do not get to any login screen. I've tried these little bootup shortcuts, only to receive the same results. Errors out.
After researching, I couldn't use my Apple ID because it wasn't used to sign into anactual Mac computer. But after bringing it home, I don't even get to that screen anymore. I am so confused. Why can't I just boot from USB and install. What is going on here?
Any information would help as I love to learn new things!
