Hello everyone, I'm trying to restore my AppleHDA.kext but when I go to reinstall my OS X El Capitan, a couple message pops up saying:
1. "To download and restore OS X, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple"
*clicks OK
2. "Could not find installation information for this machine. Contact AppleCare"
My trouble shooting attempts include:
-Booting the OS from my installation flashdrive
-Turning off the wifi and trying to boot without internet (Needs internet to install)
-Going on the website via my PC and logging into my apple ID and re-downloading it
Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to restore my AppleHDA.kext
And would it still work if I pulled it off another working OS (laptop or friends computer) and dropped it in my system/extenstions folder? Or does it need to be from my computer?
Also is there another site in which I can download the kext from?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
