She said that some people wait for a few hours before the recovery menu is once again available. I skipped this step because it seemed stuck at the apple logo. She guided me back to the Internet Recovery Mode (with the spinning globe). They do not have the resources to help us. I have spoken with an customer customer rep named "Hope". As I am finishing writing this I am on the phone with customer service to see if they can give me a Sierra installer. I am thinking that apple deliberately does this so people get tired and take their computers into their Geniuses. I cannot find Sierra.app installers anywhere in the net. Its looking for "Install Mac OS High Sierra.app" and to make it a bootable image on my journaled-formatted USB drive. In other words the sudo command does not recognize "InstallOS.dmg". This is a huge problem since the Terminal code to make a bootable USB needs the actual application and not the DMG file. The guide provides a link to download Sierra Installer. Since Apple App Store will not allow me to download Sierra I then googled "Sierra Installer" hoping that I could find an installer (that is not an update). It displays the following error "Update not found: The requested version of macOS is not available". This is not possible since my Mac OS Catalina Macbook, through which I am writing this, thinks that I want to downgrade her OS to Sierra. In the guide it says to download Sierra through Apples App Store. I read apples guides on how to make a bootable installer for Mac OS. Having the damaged recovery option I am left with installing the OS through a bootable USB. By this point I noticed that I had damaged the recovery option as a whole. This is so you override the automatic internet recovery mode. To bypass this recovery mode you must press Cmd+Opn+R or something like that. So I turned the iMac and once again I was back to the spinning globe. About 15 minutes went by until the iMac rebooted and was left for 10 minutes in an apple logo grey screen. First the spinning globe appeared on the screen (recovery mode using the internet). I restarted the computer and the issues began. So I logged back in my wifi network but the recovery window was gone. I googled the error and noticed that my iMac disconnected from the wifi and could not download Sierra. This was the first error as recovery mode did not connect to the wifi and displayed an error. Once I did that I was to proceed to reinstall Sierra using the recovery mode. To make a fresh copy of Sierra I would need to delete the partition on my SSD. The second and foregoing paragraphs is where I am stuck now.
The first paragraph is the detailed step by step on how I got myself stuck. I have done this many times before but this has got to be the worst I've stuck in mud. I wanted to install a fresh copy of Sierra. Hi, I am trying to freshly install a copy of Sierra on my Late 2010 iMac.
