Chosen Solution
Was trying to sell old MacBook Pro 2011, followed a video to reset using command r upon restart all worked fine till got this message after trying to re install Mac OS X Lion , “ can’t download the additional components needed to install max OS X”
Try using internet recovery (Command + Option + R) instead.
Seems there’s an answer here: re installing OSX problems. May be linked to outdated certificates, and the only way I think you can solve this is by creating a new installer on to a USB key, or by (somehow) setting your clock back before you install. I couldn’t figure out the clock option since I already formatted the system, so I am trying the USB route.
While solving the same problem, I solved it with the solution methods given on the page. maybe it will help you https://www.knowerstech.com/cannot-downl…
