Hello. A long while ago I got an older mac from an extended family member that had no OS on it. I try to boot it up and it boots to the OSX utility page. There's an option to reinstall the OS to OSX Yosemite 10.10. When I go through the process of installing it again it prompts me the error of the item is unavailable. I researched this error and the file on the apple server to reinstall the OS is no longer there. I have tried to make a bootable USB but this mac doesn't list the USB as an option. I've tried installing the direct OSX image onto the Hard drive via my windows PC and the mac detects the drive as not a bootable device after that. I have even gone to the extent to track down the original OEM disks which I have now. When I boot the disk and try to install the older OS it says it cant install. I'm coming here for the last resort because I have tried everything in my power to try to fix this old mac. Preferably I would not wanna go to the apple store even after quarantine to fix this since it would be a waste of time and money. If anyone could lend me some support I would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
