#Os x base wont' let me erase it 2017 install#
I am just hoping whereever it is it will agree to install EC on the computer, in hopes that the computer will then see the Back Up of EC on the external drive so I can put it back the way it was- and sell it. Get a HDMI cable, and make sure that the cable is compatible with both. I erased the computer's hard drive, made sure to give it the same name I gave it on the Back Up.Ĭurrently its booted to the El Capitain External Drive, and downloading El Capitain Full Install from the App Store, although I don't know WHERE its downloading it to, the external drive or the computer. I tried both the Recovery Drive and the Named Drive that showed up, got no where.

If I Command R to Recovery, it sees the external drive but doesn't find a Mac OS on it. If I boot to the Mountain Lion OS on the computer, it doesn't see the El Captiain Time Machine Back Up on the external drive. So now I am trying to load the bootable back up I made with Time Machine and it wont restore or recover. Holding down C then and now only brings me to an Apple logo.ĭing ding ding! If I had known that earlier I could have saved myself a lot of grief. I had also tried holding down C at the start of this, trying to get it to install from the Snow Leopard dvd. So I used the back up of the EC drive (yes, I backed up first on a USB drive), it would allow it to be the startup disk, and from the backup USB drive of EC I was able to "erase" the El Capitain hard drive.īut then when I tried to reboot and use the Snow Leopard DVD, or even the El Capitain USB drive, hold down option, it shows NO startup disk, I can only use "Internet Recovery". I have an external DVD drive, EC wont load the installer, it wont even see the drive when I hold down option and try to select a startup disk. The "new" one was loaded with El Capitain and I have been trying to wipe it and load my clone of my hard drive- but El Capitain is not letting me. So I bought the same year and model as mine.

I bought it as a back up for my Macbook Air A1370, because I need to stay with Snow Leopard (for a lot of reasons), if anything happened to my computer, even with a back up clone of the drive, Time Machine, it would not run on a newer logic board. I have plenty of copies of Snow Leopard, and lots of external drives with clones and Time Machine back ups of my SL computers, offhand I have 2 MBPs, an 11 and a 13" air, plus two 11 inch airs I set up for friends and family, all running SL but still cannot get El Capitain to let go of my newly purchased mid 2011 Mac Book Air, the same year and logic board as my own 11".
