[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1906324, member: 307555"] I am stumped. I get what is causing the issue. In order to download Yosemite the apple id used has to have downloaded it in the past since it is an older OS. Thus the error message. Another issue is that the Mac you are using to download Yosemite must be able to run it. So suggesting you download it with another Mac and make an installer disk won't work as your Apple ID is not working now to download it. I would either use someone's apple id that has downloaded Yosemite, or even El Capitan as it can run that also, and download that way. The other is to call Apple and see if they would be willing to help. You may be able to [URL='https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372']download El Capitan[/URL] from this link and make a bootable installer on another Mac. That's all I can think of. If something else comes to mind I post back. [/QUOTE]
