Note: you don’t have to try them all just work your way down the list until everything’s working again. Try the solutions below to fix “This item is temporarily unavailable”. Fortunately, there is workaround to fix your problem. Usually this error occurs because of your Apple ID issue, such as you’re using different Apple IDs in your Mac and for installing Mac OS. This error message usually happens when you’re installing Mac OS in your Macbook, and it pops up right after entering your Apple ID.īut don’t worry. Internet recovery will try to install the OS that shipped with the Mac, so you may get 10.7 or 10.8, but it may get you to a working state that you can upgrade later.“ This item is temporarily unavailable, Try again later.” It should take time to download the 'recovery OS' over the internet so it should be a little different to the standard recovery mode.

Internet recovery is cmd+alt+r at startup. You may be able to also try 'internet recovery' mode…Ĭomputers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery : NOTE only certain models support it. You can reformat the Macintosh HD volume if you want, make it 'Mac OS Extended (Journalled)' if it is different. Apparently were issues with the iTunes store earlier, so perhaps the App store is also having issues? I think it's in the File menu.įor what it's worth use ethernet if you have it available, it should be more stable than wifi.

Recovery mode will grab several GB's from Apple to install the OS (about 5-6 GB IIRC), it should give error messages but obviously something is failing altogether, open the installer log next time you try it. I have to wonder if the installer download is failing.
