I have done a factory reset on my 2011 IMac and want to restore just the OS X so that I can use it as a kiosk computer.
When I choose "Reinstall OS X" in OS X utilities I get the message "A required download is missing." What can I do to get round this or if I choose "Restore From Time Machine Backup" in OS X Utilities, how do I tell it to just restore the OS X and not the rest of the files it took 6 hours to delete?
Thanks in anticipation.
iMac 21.5″, OS X 10.10
