Im just looking for some tips or advice I’ve up. If I had a working usb lion installer I’d think that I could at least eliminate the possibility of a hardware problem. I know it’s old, but would just like to be sure that there is no hope before telling her that it’s not worth it.

I have only kept copies of the last two Mac OS files as my Mac is only a couple of years old but for older ones I can’t seem to find a good copy of lion to install. I don’t know if it’s the file itself but have had no luck.

I have found various Lion iso on the net, but every time I try to create a a bootable usb it doesn’t work. I’ve been looking all over for tips but like I said am running out of patience.

But when I tried to install it on the MacBook it wasn’t compatible with that MacBook. I then download the oldest OS that I could. I didnt realize that Apple no longer lets you download that OS.

So I thought then I could just download it from the App Store and use my app on my Mac to create a bootable usb stick and do it that way. No matter what I try I get the message - Can’t download the additional components needed to install Mac OS X. After that I went to install lion from the internet. I went into recovery mode and was able to erase and reformat the SSD. After a while I decided the best thing was to reinstall the OS As I also had no luck. I have been working on this for a couple of days and have reached the end of my patience so am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.Ī friend has a MacBook Air 2011 11 inch and asked if I’d look at it.
