Gingerale

After erasing the hard disk and retuning to the primary "Mac Os Utilities" I chose "Install OS 10" (El Capitan) and contiued. It went to the screen "OS Ten El Capitan" then when I clicked continue I received a message that read "A required download is missing".
Does anyone know what I can do to reinstall Bone 10 El Capitan?

One other play tricks to effort (no promises):
"Set back" the Mac's internal clock. Information technology sounds illogical, merely effort it.

How to do this:
a. Open the engagement and time pref pane.
b. UNCHECK the box "set appointment and time automatically"
and then
c. Set up your clock back to Jan 1, 2017.
d. Reboot

Now attempt the install once again.
Any difference?

IF information technology works, you can become set upwards, then Go Back to appointment and time and put things dorsum where they were previously...

Yes, this worked.
Apparently using an old OS on a electric current / future time causes this hangup - perchance due to certificate expiration ?

I tried this for both El Cap, Sierra, High Sierra by turning the appointment back to when it was released.

I used the last control to change time and date....

Command-R works for me.
Command-Opt-R does did not work for me initially. (get a circumvolve with X in it and nix else.)

Afterwards booting in with Control-R I went to terminal. I typed in "date 010112002019". No error with message indicating day set to January i. I exited terminal and tried to install the Os again (without rebooting) and ultimately received the same error. "A required download is missing".

For kicks I tried Cyberspace Recovery over again property down Command-Pick-R keys when booting upwards and now I'm at a different identify. Spinning globe with bulletin "this may accept a while". Thanks for your help. IF this doesn't cease upward with the outcome I desire I'll bring the macbook in to my local apple shop. Thanks once again for your assist. I capeesh it. Godspeed.

I tried updating my os ten and information technology got stuck halfway after the install reset my computer. Zip else has worked so far.

Ane other fob to attempt (no promises):
"Set back" the Mac's internal clock. It sounds illogical, but try it.

How to do this:
a. Open the date and time pref pane.
b. UNCHECK the box "set date and fourth dimension automatically"
and so
c. Prepare your clock dorsum to Jan 1, 2017.
d. Reboot

Now endeavour the install over again.
Any difference?

IF it works, you can become gear up, and and so GO BACK to date and fourth dimension and put things back where they were previously...

Thanks then much for your input. However, after I set the time and restarted my computer it still says a required download is missing . What else can I do ?

Thanks for all of your posts. I'm in the aforementioned situation (tried to reset my 2011 iMac merely after erasing and trying to reinstall I got the message that "a required download is missing) and am trying command-opt-r. Globe is spinning. I think the bar is moving and there's a 24:00 underneath.

Edit: I tried changing the date and that didn't work either.
Edit 2: Restarted the internet recovery and it fabricated it through but information technology hangs upwardly after starting to install OS Ten Lion and says "can't download the boosted components needed to install Mac OS 10.

Estimate I'll try to create a USB start up?

I'grand in the exact same situation and take no idea what to exercise next. Anyyyyy assistance would be very much appreciated. Cheers in accelerate

*Disclaimer* This was my get-go time working with Terminal, and so if I can practice it y'all tin can practise it too! haha

Irresolute the dates did not work for me.

https://back up.apple tree.com/en-ca/HT201372

I followed this link on Apple tree site to create the bootable USB. Since I was only running El Capitan on my other Mac, y'all take to add together in an actress few lines of code (Meet Asterisk on the apple page). You lot tin use my lawmaking if you want to download High Sierra from a computer running El Capitan:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app

Replace MyVolume with the proper noun of your properly formatted USB name.

I thought it wasnt working when I ran this lawmaking because it took so long running in the terminal, but when I woke up this morn it had completed. (Took over ten hours!)

However, even when I plugged the USB into my computer, I couldnt seem to select the USB equally the startup disk. Whenever I went to startup disks it was blank. I and so did these steps:

Shut down your Mac.
Locate the post-obit keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. ...
Press and concur the ⌘ + Selection + P + R keys immediately afterward you hear the startup sound.
Agree these keys until the figurer restarts and y'all hear the startup sound for a second time.
Release the keys.

When it rebooted later on this, it asked for my language over again which was something I had not seen earlier. Then I was able to select the USB as my startup disk. The computer reset itself once more, and when information technology loaded back up, I was able to install OS High Sierra. I am not sure if this is the proper way at all, as I was a bit lost after creating the bootable USB, but it all seemed to work so I wanted to share my steps. Goodluck
