anybody know how to get mac os on to a 2012 macbook pro
lets just say I ((acquired)) it from an sjw who was not needing it anymore AND DONT TELL ME TO FUCKING RETURN IT IM NOT GONNA FUCKING DO THAT SHIT YOU DUMB RETARD, regardless
it has a firmware password on it and internet recovery is blocked by the password, but I did manage to put ubuntu on it before the firmware pass magically got on to it
Give it back tyrone
Boot into verbose mode ( command + v ) and then do these commands in order.
Mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
shutdown -h now
You restore it to a state as if mac osx was just installed.

just remove the hard disk, format it from another computer and then reinstall osx from a usb key jamal.
then icloud tracking will kick in and you'll have the cops at your home asking where you got your stolen mac
>>59651805
the hard drive was formatted a long time ago
I had the computer completely off when it was with me
>>59651785
when I do command v it just takes me to the gnu grub
>>59651813
reformat it then. just erase the whole disk with gparted on a real computer aka pc
>>59651824
I did that, but when I do that, I get the flashing folder screen. im trying to make a bootable mac usb but I cant find the sierra os dmg file anywhere
>>59651837
go on pirate bay, find the newest version you can, install it, update to the latest version via the appstore.
if on windows use transmac to transfer the dmg to a usb key, i have also used a relaease in .iso that work just as well.
>>59651855
I found mac os lion ill try and put it on transmac but I have a feeling that when I try to boot fucking ubuntu is going to take over and not let me boot to it
FW password can be disabled by removing a stick of RAM and the CMOS battery. At least thats how you do it to PPC machines. No idea if it works on intel ones and if its a retina you cant remove ram anyways.
>>59651873
use the boot hotkey
Use Startup Manager
Hold down the Option key immediately after turning on or restarting your Mac.
Release the Option key when you see the Startup Manager window.
Select your startup disk, then click the arrow or press Return.
immediately as in hold it when pressing the power button

this is a 2012 model they moved the firmware pass out of the ram because it was too easy break in, besides I already tried that and the laptop outright refused to boot with different ram
Uefi lock... You need to buy bios chip on ebay and replace old one with new one.
>>59651880
if it was a FW password he wouldnt be able to install ubuntu at all, on intel its written into the efi's NAND
>>59651902
no no there is a fw lock but it only happened right after the 2nd reinstall of ubuntu
the first time I installed ubuntu I could still access internet recovery but after the 2nd reinstall now I get the firmware lock
>>59651888
hope you've got a heat gun because you're going to need to replace a chip
i'll do it if you send me it
>>59651882
I cant access that shit dude the firmware blocks most things
>>59652060
cant I just remove the fucker with my bare hands and be done with it
Give it back Damarcus
OP is a piece of shit

>>59652170
why would I turn myself in and return it to an sjw
i swear you are so stupid
>>59652178
everyone who isn't a nigger wants you to die you dumb retarded parasite
>>59652182
angry macfag who is worried about their computer getting stolen and replaced with ubuntu
>>59652255
yeah I kind of just accepted that I wont be able to get mac on it because the firmware password prevents everything but hey atleast it is useful as an ubuntu machine
if it wasnt gonna have ubuntu on it, i might of just broke the dumb apple machine or parted it out maybe even tested on it
>>59652271
>i might of just broke the dumb apple machine
sounds just like a nigger or an arab
>>59651771
>it has a firmware password on it and internet recovery is blocked by the password
Ask her for the password. Duh. If you stole it, try handing yourself over to the police.
Fags wish for the death of all shitskins

I'll trade you for a stack of Ipads that ex-employees have tied to their Icloud accounts and are now paperweights.
