but apparently my Apple ID is too new or something and can only download later versions.

Got into Disk Manager (sorry 'Utility') wiped the disk and tried to do a 'Reinstall Mac OS X' from an online thing. I thought I had a fairly good grip on what to do (only internet searches as I'm no Mac daddy for sure)! There are a few more things to try before I admit it beat me, but to save me time that I don't really have does anyone know how to get the Mac OS back onto a Macbook Pro (A1211 - 2006'ish).

After spending a couple of hours on this yesterday afternoon, (although I have to admit I'm not sure it's worth the effort - long story short, I need a Mac to do some testing for another issue, so I dug out an old Macbook that's been sat in the cupboard for a few years).
