Imac for sale and can not reinstall OS without using my id

I am preparing my old imac for sale and erased the hard disk by following the instructions, and I try to reinstall the factory operating system without having to use my apple i.d. but when I boot using R-command-option, I get the spinny globe and then the thing saying that he made the restoration of the internet, but then it gets to the screen white/grey apple and just gets stuck.  (For more than 2 hours, so STUCK).  Ideas?

It may be interesting to create a flash drive with the installer of the OS, in this way, you don't need us the recovery partition or restore from the internet.

These use a small tool to have anyway.

  • Yahoo toolbar has lost and can not reinstall because PC think its always there. Anyone?

    After restarting my computer this weekend, I realized my Yahoo toolbar was missing (as was the possibility of opening a 2nd window). Tried to reinstall the toolbar because my PC thinks I have the latest version already installed. How can I install the fees? Or rather how do I uninstall the missing toolbar so that I can install it then again? I am running XP Pro on this PC. I use the toolbar to access many sites as well as for the bookmarks. Please tell me what I did to cause this so that I can avoid this inconvenience in the future.
    Thank you.

    Amazing! I repeated the steps 4 times Corrupt_localstore.rdf and it worked finally. Done the same every time so that I would know exactly how to rectify if this happens again. And all this time I thought that repeating the same things over and over again and expect a different result, it was the definition of insanity. Although I am crazy but I had a different result, which is the only crazy this time?

    I want to thank you again for the help. I tried to get help of Yahoo and never got a response after receiving the assurance that I would receive a response - soon. It was days ago and nothing yet. You have both responded in hours. (And jscher2000 - you continued to offer advice despite the specific nature of the problem). I am truly grateful. Not only is the back of the tool bar, but has not lost a single application. I'll be sure to recommend the forum at all. Already I suggest Firefox to everyone. Now, I can happily tell them about this.

    Have a great weekend.

  • iCloud 5.1 fails and can not reinstall after Win10 build 10586

    Yesterday my laptop with Windown 10 Pro N has been updated to build 10586.

    Since then, iCloud connector is broken. No synchronization on Photos etc etc.

    So as usual, I tried the action known as: disconnection from iCloud, Uninstall.

    After uninstalling, I restarted the laptop and downloaded the last connector (5.1.0.34) Apple iCloud.

    Now it start drinking again that he needs the 'Media feature pack "...

    "Ok" I thought... Maybe it was put back by winning 10 build 10586...

    Then downloaded and installed: 'Media feature pack for Windows 10 N and KN for Windows 10 editions' (Windows 10-KB3010081-x 64.msu).

    And indeed, it was not installed so windows installed.

    Restarted again just to be sure...

    Began to reinstall icloud, but always the same question asking missing "Media feature pack".

    I've found this thread: Missing Media Feature Pack Windows 10 x 64 V5.0

    But the answer 'resolved' is not applicable to this situation that there is no 'typical' to 'enable '.

    Someone at - it an idea?

    I'm sure this has to do with Windows 10 build 10586... but I can't solve it.

    Thank you

    MCA

    I found it!   his disorder, but here it is.

    If you have a Windows "N" or "KN" editing (I win 10 Pro N) then you need the "Media Feature Pack" to install the connector to iCloud.

    It is no secret more for most people on this forum.

    But wait what he...

    If you have recently updated your Win 10 to release 1511 build aka 10586, then you need a different version of this "Feature Media Pack".

    So:

    -Win 10 (K) N FRONT 1511 create aka 10586--> you need: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3010081

    -Win 10 (K) N AFTER THAT 1511 build aka 10586--> you need https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3099229

    To make it even more complicated MS made a mistake in naming citation:

    Microsoft:

    Note the installer of this package identifies by error the update as "Feature Pack for Windows (KB3010081)" However, it's the package of correct update for Windows 10 N or Windows 10 KN build 1511.

    Hope that the above explanation will help people with the same question.

    It has helped me

    See you soon,.

    Lightroom CC 2015 does not work, I added newspapers and descriptions of my problems and no help whatsoever.  The Adobe help is useless.  I have to find alternatives to Adobe CC.

    Catalog file seems to be the solution. I found others with the same question. And now I have to apologize once again, during my jerky rank this morning, I forgot to mention that I was on the El Captain beta 2. My problem seems to be common.

    I have a late 2009 iMac. When I tried to upgrade to El Capitan. He said that the CHIP shows the h/d is a failure and can not be updated. I have install an external withEl of h/d Cap but it is very slow. the h/d is USB 3 but the iMac's USB 2. the h/d is only 5400 RPM. a 7200 RPM 7 / would accelerate the iMac?

    No, because the limiting factor is the computer is USB 2.0, which is how it connects any external drive apart the external drive. As USB 2.0 is much slower, there is no real advantage to a 7200 RPM drive. What you need is a Firewire enclosure that supports FW800 which is much faster than USB 2.0.
