If the bootable USB has Catalina on it that is not good, a MBP from 2011 cannot install Catalina. The Hitachi drive is the drive that came with the Macbook, the Sandisk Cruzer is the USB installer I'm trying to use (has Catalina on it): (Sorry for the slight blurriness, its 3am and I'm taking them from my bed because I'm exhausted.) Trying to boot to regular Recovery (boots into IR)Ĭheck the pics for more info.Installing a new HDD and trying to install to that.
Troubleshooting steps I've already tried: If anyone has a fix for this, it would be greatly appreciated. It auto boots to Internet Recovery and it throws me the This Item is Temporarily Unavailable error every time I try and install. I decided to upgrade it to El Capitan for a better interface.ĪS IT TURNS OUT, this totally borked the drive and I'm unable to reinstall with the Recovery HD. I got this old 2011 Macbook Pro from my brother to fix the screen, but it was still running 10.6.
Hey! I've been having this issue for a while now, and I haven't been able to fix it myself.
