Hi everyone.
My dad has an iMac late 2011 with Mac OS x lion.
He has not used the machine for a while and the certification is out of date. He was unable to browse on the internet and occurring error popped up «Your clock is ahead of time»
researched it and came to the conclusion that certification is out of date. I tried to update certificate from this website here https://msfn.org/board/topic/175170-root-certificates-and-revoked-certificates-for-windows-xp/
this is of no help.
I'd rather factory reset the machine. I start the machine in recovery mode. I delete the volume on disk utility first.
Then I go back to reinstall Mac Os Lion x. I get this error message "Can't download the additional components needed to install Mac OS X»
When I try to start the machine it comes up with a blank white page. And when I try to boot the machine in recovery mode, it forwards me to internet recovery mode
I came across this website and tried all steps 1-4. None of the steps work. https://iboysoft.com/amp/howto/a-required-download-is-missing.html
I ran into some problems on step 4 for the bootable USB flash drive to install Mac OS. As I have windows computer I followed this guide here https://www.easeus.com/amp/computer-instruction/create-mac-bootable-usb-from-windows.html.
I have followed all the steps. When I try this I get this error message "this disk doesn't use the guid partition table scheme". I have made sure that the USB is GPT on my windows computer. Still same problem.
I come across a video where it is told that you go into disk utility, then press view all devices and press the hard disk/usb where you can select the scheme GPT to solve this problem. But I don't get this choice since I only enter internet recovery mode.
Spent several hours getting it fixed. To no avail. I would be very grateful if someone could help me as I’m stuck in internett recovery mode.
I would be really gratefull if someone could help me solving this problem. Tried to keep it as short as possible.
Sorry for my bad english.
