Hello
I bought a used Imac (just over a year old). It is born with Lion which was on the machine when I got it.
When I tried to install the machine again I started to erase the hard drive and insert my USB key with Mountain lion that I have used on my other Macs, to create a "Clean install".
The problem comes at the error message I repeatedly get after a few minutes of installation. Note the computer is connected to the Internet, and I have tried both wired and wireless on several different networks.
Error message: "Can not download the additional components needed to install Mac OS X"
I have also tried to install Lion with the USB key and get the same error message.
Next, I tried to make "internet recovery" by pressing "cmd + alt + R". The installation starts.
However, I get the exact same error message again, after the computer has been running the installation a few hours!
PT, I have an Imac which can not be used for anything.
Apple Support had no other advice than to try on a different network, as they believed the error was due to the network!
I currently have tried 3 different wireless network and 2 wired and spent between 10 and 15 hours on the project.
Has run out of good ideas!
Experience or advice very welcome! ...........
Regards Kristian
