Somehow the OS on a used macbook that I bought has gone missing. When I go to Internet recovery to try to reinstall is says "This item is temporarily unavailable, try again later."

It's been saying this every time I've tried for a month now.

Is there some other way to get an OS back onto the machine?

This is my first time working with a Mac.

More info: Macbook A1342

My best guess is it's this: MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.26 13" (Uni/Late 09)

No, this is my first Mac. I might be able to find a friend who has one that can help me out.

  • First of all, do you have any information on the model, year made and/or screen size of your Mac? Second, do you have access to any other Mac computers? I ask this because it is possible to download the current version of OS X 10.11.4 operating system to a different Mac, then transfer to a flash drive to install on your Mac. The download is 6 GB in size just to let you know. Mar 24, 2016 at 21:18
  • BTW you can make a Genius appointment at an Apple Store and they will help you install the OS via their WiFi or, failing that, via physical media. At no cost to you Mar 25, 2016 at 13:32
