Recovery of the Internet wants to install more recent OSX

Hello

I'm trying to reinstall OS x on a Macbook Pro mid-2010.  I erased the hard drive and now need to reinstall. Following the advice of many threads on this site and others, I try to use Internet recovery to reinstall the original OSX (which was installed when it came from the factory). However, El Capitan is automatic and option only when I run this program. Also, it's invited me to enter my Apple ID, which, according to several sets of instructions found on the internet, including officially from Apple, shouldn't happen.  Anyone know why I am being forced to install El Capitan? Everything I read says that internet recovery is how you return to the original operating system. It is of an older machine who never ran El Capitan, and I don't want to install it if not necessary. Besides, I don't want to enter my ID if not necessary, because I intend to sell or give in the near future.

Any help is appreciated!

P.S. I've tried reset NVRAM.

Hmm. My first question why wipe the hard drive? Recovery would have reinstalled your current OS X, if that was your goal.

I think that as you have wiped the drive you have a backup.

I would like to restore your OSX this Time Machine backup or your clone to boot back up.

To answer your question

To use internet on a 2010 recovery you should have to run an update of the EFI firmware at any given time. I suspect that your delivered 2010 with Snow Leopard. There is no download for Snow Leopard.

  • Recovery of the Internet to install OS on new SSD but now get grey screen

    You damaged OS X by restoring a backup made with a new version of OS X that you were running at that time here. In any case, from what you say, it seems that you didn't need to install OS X Lion: you can restore the backup directly on your SSD without having to reinstall OS X.

    To do this, Internet recovery includes an option to restore a Time Machine backup. Just boot into Recovery Internet, plug the old hard drive to your Mac, choose the option to restore a backup Time Machine in the "OS X Utilities" window and follow the steps. The SSD will be formatted, your Mac must be up and working soon.

  • Unable to connect to the Internet after you install the update

    My computer crashed this afternoon. I restored it since restoration, but Firefox lost disk and my Trend Micro antuvirus.  I downloaded the two products, but when I try to install them, they are trying to reconnect to the internet to complete the download.  Or the program is able to do.  I can log on the Internet and to allow them there have turned off the Windows Firewall and Windows Defender, suspecting one of them was blocking the remote connection.  I am running Windows Vista and IE8.  When I Windows Update, I lose all internet connections and have to use system restore to go back before the updates.

    2. Select the update that has been installed and uninstall the updates one by one and check the update which is at the origin of the problem.

    Step 3

    Once you take note of the update that causes this problem, you can download the stand-alone version of the update on your desktop and try to install it manually and check to see if it helps you to solve the problem of internet access. To download the standalone version of windows updates follow the steps below:

    Hello

    1. You did changes to the computer before the show?
    2. What version of web browser work?

    You can temporarily disable the antivirus software, and then try to install programs, and also try to open .exe files to check if that helps.

    Check the link for more information.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    I hope this helps!

  • Recovery of the Internet and the Touchpad does not

    Hi all!

    I tried to format my Macbook Pro (2015 start, 13 "), so I wiped the disk with disk utility.

    Now, I'm the restart with CMD - R and a globe appears. I know that it means that the computer is trying to reboot from the internet, but I have to choose my Wi - Fi and insert the password.

    The problem is: the touchpad is not sensitive, so I can not perform the procedure. I also tried a keyboard and a USB mouse, but it does not work either.

    Thanks to anyone who responds!

    Start up your Mac in Mode without failure.

    Upper left corner of your screen, click on the Apple  > Shut Down.

    After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key . You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    Once you are in Mode without failure, return to the menu Apple . In the drop-down list, click: reboot



    Then start while pressing the command + R keys to access internet recovery to restore the OS X.

    Just to let you know, you don't need to wipe the drive using disk utility in your Applications / Utilities first folder. Only use OS X Recovery

    to reformat and restore the OS X.

    original title: sound activation module

    Seems to me there was a company of game named sonic. We recently hired a game. If Yes (or someone who uses the computer did) you must go to the installation and finish it or uninstall the game.

    If this does not work, you could get the free CCleaner and run it but you need a little knowledge to use it. You can watch the start section and see if a program loads the name sonic inside or somewhere in his speech. Delet it is probably correct, but it is best to uninstall the program, get the free RevoUninstaller might help if the windows uninstaller is corupt (CCleaner uses only that). It's a little harder to use, but he'll come down.

  • interruption of the internet connection after installing vista sp2, only a local network

    Hello
    Since I installed vista sp2 last week, I have no internet connection. Just, my laptop connects to the local network. I had already tried to uninstall sp2, but this does not resolve the issue. A restore of the system has not been successful (do not know why, windows just said failure of system restore). I also deleted my antivirus program and my firewall...
    The internet works occasionally for a short time and when I start in safe mode.
    Because I live in a House that I have to use a fix ip, gateway and dns. After you install sp2, windows says my default gateway does not match my ip address and subnet mask when I change the properties of TCP/IPv4. Using another laptop with XP, the internet connection works with the same settings.
    I would be grateful for a quick solution, without formatting ;)

    I've highlighted the TCP/IPv6 line of course ;) the button was inactive when even
    in the registry, I saw WHAT TCP/IPv6 is already disabled

    my internet actually works, but I don't know why
    I deleted the file DisabledComponets for TCP/IPv6 in the registry, rebooted, create one, rebooted and it worked
    but I do not know why :)

    I have a dell studio 1737 and was upgraded to windows 7 Home premium 32-bit. I was installing windows 10 when we lost the internet connection and now I get an error message on windows is not genuine. can someone help please!

    Use your Windows 7 Home Premium product key to activate it.

    Windows 7 is pre-installed on my computer, How can I find the product key?

    The product key is located on the COA sticker attached to the bottom of your laptop or in the battery compartment. In rare cases it can be found also in the memory compartment. For systems of the Tower, look at the top or the side of the system unit. It looks like the following:

    Click Start > settings > Update & security > Activation > change product key and then enter the new product key, and then click Next to activate

    If you cannot activate Windows 10 after all the above and you are sure that you have the correct edition installed, then please try phone activation:

  • How to monitor the use of the Internet (web) with installed PIX

    Hi all

    I hope that you could recommend an appropriate solution to the following situation:

    I have a client who would like to be able to occasionally monitor how his team uses the Internet - essentially the sites they visit and how much time they spend on these don't sites... no detailed report would be necessary, only occasional monitoring. Obviously, their PIX 501 must be the source of information... I guess that there is an app out there (commercial or freeware) which would collect & analyze the logs of PIX and translate them into a form that is easily understandable and advise the use of the Web.

    All recommendations / advice will be MUCH apprechiated!

    Thanks in advance,

    Sean

    It does not solve the DNS and it connects on the WHOIS database of reports to resolve outside IPs, you can set how long to keep the Cache DNS TTL (helpdful with internal clients of DHCP). If you access the web site, they show a sample report on request. You can customize reports to show a specific traffic/events. Also, you can analyze the traffic for individual IPs and each report has links to explain the Syslog events. You can have the report sent on an hourly basis.

  • Impossible to get 2008 Macbook at the start of the recovery of the Internet... help?

    I tried the command + option + R and command-R start-up and restart, but no dice. I'm trying to reinstall Mac OS to give the laptop to a friend. Any tips?

    Hey Sndietzel,

    Thank you for being a part of the communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your message you are trying to boot a MacBook (2008) for OS X Internet Recovery but it is not successful.  This happens because this year and model of Mac does not support the OS X Internet Recovery:

    Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery

    What version of Mac OS X is currently installed? In the menu bar select  > what the Mac and you should see the version of OS X installed.  If she has OS X 10.6.8 or more, then there is no OS X Recovery, and you will need the installation disk OS X, or the disc that came with the computer to erase the disk and reinstall OS X. You will need to insert the disc while the Mac is turned on, and then restart while holding the C key to boot the disk.

    Take care.

    After you have installed the latest version of Flash Player, on the YouTube videos, I try to read the message "an error has occurred. Please try again later. "appears. In addition, on sites like Tumblr other media, such as audio and videos uploaded, play not at all - it's just a white space where it should be. This set works fine in Chrome.
    I have tried everything I can think of - I deleted the cache and deleted cookies, updated all plug-ins, uninstalled and reinstalled Flash and Firefox, disabled Ad-Block, he ran in Safe Mode and navigation private, restarted my laptop a couple of times - but none of this has worked.
