How to reinstall macOS Yosemite?
The essence of the problem:
I bought a used Macbook 2011, I decided to install the system from scratch. I did everything according to the manual, when I enter AppleID, I write "The service is not available. Please try again later." Tried a dozen times, nothing changes.
(There are no more familiar Mac drivers, so computers are available under Windows \ Linux)
There are a lot of manuals on the Internet on how to make a bootable USB flash drive, but all on the version of the lion and leopard. Yosemite is for hackintosh only, and I need a license, so to speak.
The image has already been downloaded from the rutracker, what to do next with it, can anyone come across? ..

If you have a normal connection to the Internet, you can install from the network.
This mode is called "Internet Recovery".
In this case, AppleID will be requested at the very beginning, after which the Mac OS X distribution will be unloaded from Apple servers.

Strange advice, but - check your DNS. Sometimes a temporary change to Google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) really helps to overcome the unavailability of Apple services.
1. Download the distribution from the rutracker with Yosemite for Mac.
2. Install some virtual machine. For example VBox
3. Install MacOSX from an image to a virtual machine. Let's start.
4. We take a flash drive and follow the manual for creating a bootable flash drive for poppy (there is also on the distribution page on the rutracker).
5. We take a ready-made pleshka and install it on a poppy.
If a specific Yosemite is not installed, you can try another image in the same place from the root tracker. Mavericks did exactly that.
