Quit Disk Utility, and continue on with the OS X reinstall - make sure that you choose the hard drive partition that you just created. That will clear ALL partitions, and reset your hard drive to just one partition. Make sure that partition shows that it will be created as "Mac OS Extended (journaled)", which should be the default. Click the Partitions tab, and select Partition Layout, which you can change to 1 Partition. Select the hard drive (the line with the manufacturer's info, and not the line with the name of your partition). So, try this: boot to your OS X installer on the USB stick, run Disk Utility. If you STILL get that same message, I also read that it is because of some problem with the hidden recovery partition that Lion and ML installs. Temporarily remove extra RAM, if you have more than 4GB installed.

I recommend that you use a wired network for best results.Īs I searched for your error (can't download additional components, etc), one thing that seems to help is to make sure there is 4 GB RAM installed, or less. Quit Disk Utility, which will return you to the recovery system menu, then continue with the OS X reinstall. īoot to the normal Recovery System (command-R), and erase your hard drive, using Disk Utility. I currently have tried 3 different wireless network and 2 wired and spent between 10 and 15 hours on the project.Įxperience or advice very welcome!. PT, I have an Imac which can not be used for anything.Īpple Support had no other advice than to try on a different network, as they believed the error was due to the network! However, I get the exact same error message again, after the computer has been running the installation a few hours! Next, I tried to make "internet recovery" by pressing "cmd + alt + R". I have also tried to install Lion with the USB key and get the same error message.

Note the computer is connected to the Internet, and I have tried both wired and wireless on several different networks.Įrror message: "Can not download the additional components needed to install Mac OS X" The problem comes at the error message I repeatedly get after a few minutes of installation. When I tried to install the machine again I started to erase the hard drive and insert my USB key with Mountain lion that I have used on my other Macs, to create a "Clean install". It is born with Lion which was on the machine when I got it. Now this took a year-and-a-half.I bought a used Imac (just over a year old).

From there, Mac OS X booted properly and I was able to install it and get everything set. I put the disc in the slot load drive on my G3, powered the unit on, and held down the C key at boot. That was done within 10 minutes.Īfter everything was burned, downloaded, and extracted, it was time to take my new Mac OS X 10.4 PPC Install Disc and put it to the test. Then, I clicked that yellow and black button, and burned the.
Then with the Disk Utility app on my Mac, I took the new “Mac OS X Install DVD.iso” file and dragged and dropped it into the left box of Disk Utility. (this file was a torrent by the way.) I used Transmission to extract it that took a few hours.Īfter the extraction and Transmission was complete, the file became a DMG file and was titled “Mac OS X Install DVD.toast.” I went ahead and changed the file extension from “.toast” to “.iso” I downloaded a PPC version of Mac OS X 10.4. A more recent iMac that has the Disk Utility App and can burn DVD’s.įinally, earlier today, I fixed the iMac.
