need help to install El captain on iMac 2010 after secure hard disk format
Hey guys... This might seem newb but the other day, I wiped firmly (format single-pass) my HARD drive on an imac 2010 with the Mavericks. Somehow the OS partition has been removed by the previous owner, but they didn't know how and gave me the system as a gift. I had the opportunity to reinstall the Mavericks via internet, but using the original Apple ID, which I couldn't, so the full format. Formatting completely unregister the iMac and delete the App Store, iTunes, ID and other settings/passwords? I have a bootable USB, which will install El Captain but need to know if using my own Apple ID for the installation will work without problems? I'm at the point where the system is no longer automatically starts in recovery mode, like the format, which means that command + R is my next step, but I had to order a keyboard/mouse fixed Magic since it did not come with those. In any case thanks for any advice you can offer.
The Mac doesn't work this way. The material is not registered to any particular Apple ID. You can either use OS X Internet Recovery, which will install the original system provided with this computer, or you can install from a bootable installation on a UBS drive, in which case you can install any version of the operating system supported by the hardware you choose or that you can download.
In both cases, once you have started the computer from the recovery of the Internet or the USB drive, run disk utility to completely erase the disk before running Setup.

I need help to install adobe flash for my G5 mac
I need help to install adobe flash for my MAC OS X 10.4.11, I visited site and its telling me to upgrade my adobe flash, I really need help.
Flash Player should be installed ONLY from the Adobe Web site.
Here you can check which version of Flash player you have actually installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see what version you need to install to your Mac and OS. You must first uninstall any old version of Flash Player using uninstaller from here (make sure you use the right pair!):
http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions carefully, as all applications (including Safari) closed first before installing. It is strongly recommended that you perform a permissions repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installation, restart your Mac and restart Safari, then in Safari/security preferences enable "enable Plugins".

I would try a Setup offline first before try something else.
Somewhere during the download of WLE part, I have a suspicion
as the files are to be damaged because of the speed, or lack of
your internet connection.
You can download and save setup proper, offline
the link below and follow the instructions to see if it solves the problem.
Essentials 'offline' files install for windows.
