This actually helped me. I tried resetting the Macbook to the factory default so I can sell it on eBay. Since I have 2 macs I tried the bootable drive option I did the Yosemite According to this website my laptop should be able to run Yosemite The way that your post helped me was that you tried a different apple ID.

I used my father's apple ID since it was originally his laptop and it worked whereas I got the "This is temporarily unavailable" notification when I tried my own apple ID. When they say" This is temporarily unavailable" it is probably just their less rude way of saying, "This laptop is suspected to be stolen and we will not service it for you". My MacBook is starting to download OS X Mountain Lion right now I'm guessing this is some type of security feature so if someone steals your laptop they can't simply format the drive and try to reinstall the OS to use it as their own.

However I don't know how people are supposed to sell it then. A seller doesn't want to give their buyer their apple ID just so they can download the OS. I've read a few posts saying they purchased the laptop online and had this problem. I can't imagine how frustrated I would be if that happened to me.

After struggling with the error message of "updates for other accounts", I found a solution to all of it. That being both hardware, but perhaps more prominently, software. In particular, software purchased through the iOS and Mac App Stores, some of which cost a small fortune to buy.

I'm currently looking at building a Hackintosh for the first time. Following the AlexF98 Thread Apr 14, app store clover config. For graphic I know I have to wait until Nvidia releases a new driver. But for App Store I couldn't solve the problem. In Infact, when I try to do this, it will download me a file of 15mb, and not of 5.

If someone can help me, please reply to this post. Thank you for all. Most of it work as expected, but some apps downloaded from the App Store won't open. It downloaded fine.
