RUN GOOGLE APPS VIA TENFOURFOX MAC OSYou’ll also need a hard drive with an older version of the Mac OS (based on the requirements for the upgrade) or a blank drive. RUN GOOGLE APPS VIA TENFOURFOX HOW TOThat said, you will need to get ahold of a copy of the Sierra installer by using a newer Mac to get it from the App store or dosdude1 gives you a link to the MEGA Unlimited site in New Zealand – but you can get instructions on how to download it from other websites as well. I found that you can get away with a smaller one. The instructions are clear that you need a flash drive of at least 8 GB in size. ![]() My intent here is to give you my take as I went through those instructions. You can use the instructions from dosdude1 to take you through the process. The website lays out the requirements, supported (and non-supported) machines, things you’ll need and known issues (which we laid out in Part 1.) And that means we can give students, families, non-profit groups and others the ability to work with the latest OS and be as productive as they can be going forward. If we can get at least some of these Macs up to OSX Sierra, we have a great chance to give them new life for a few more years. RUN GOOGLE APPS VIA TENFOURFOX UPDATEThe benefit to this update is that we are getting a number of Macs – Towers, Mini’s and iMacs – that can only go up to OS7 or OS8 and thus are increasingly out-of-date. Off the top, I want to thank for providing the software – and the instructions – to upgrade many older Macs to OSX Sierra. It’s a list only as the “links” don’t work. MacOS 10.15: Catalina (Jazz) – 7 October 2019īy the way – this is an interesting compilation of all the older Apple/Mac software. MacOS 10.14: Mojave (Liberty) – 24 September 2018 MacOS 10.13: High Sierra (Lobo) – 25 September 2017 OS X 10.11: El Capitan (Gala) – 30 September 2015 OS X 10.9 Mavericks (Cabernet) – 22 October 2013 OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (Zinfandel) – 25 July 2012 OS X 10.5 Leopard (Chablis) – 26 October 2007 OS X 10.3 Panther (Pinot) – 24 October 2003 That said – we just found (March, 2021) a website that lets you download at least some of these earlier Mac operating systems: Snow Leopard an d earlier Apple OS versions can only be installed from DVD (or 3.5 disk). The easiest way to download MacOS High Sierra is to follow these instructions from OSX Dailyįollowing is a rundown of all the OS X versions for the Mac through 2020 – (thanks, Macworld UK)! Even better – this UK site has actual download links for older Apple software going way, way back starting with OS 10.9 Mavericks (from the Apple Discussion Community.) Please note that the link provided by Apple will take you to iTunes and breaks after that. If this does not work, goto this MacOSXDaily page that explains how to get a full Mojave download using the DOSDude Patcher. When you press “GET” you will be taken to Software Update to download. Please note you will need to use SAFARI for this to work. DOWNLOAD AND RUN THE SPECIFIC PATCHER (YOU’LL HAVE TO ALLOW ITS DOWNLOAD FROM THE SECURITY&PRIVACY PREFERENCE PANE) AND THEN DOWNLOAD THE OS FROM THE TOOLS MENU ON THE TOOLBAR. ** NOTE: IF THE LINKS BELOW DON’T WORK YOU CAN USE THE DOSDUDE SOFTWARE PATCHER FOR EACH OF THE OS INSTALLS. It is an amazing site and offers a tremendous amount of information from software to music, old TV shows and much, much more (check out the WayBackMachine for old websites!) Please give them a donation if you decide to use their site or download software. RUN GOOGLE APPS VIA TENFOURFOX ARCHIVE2021 – The Internet Archive also offers Mac OS software downloads from its site for free, along with other software. (All photos except where noted and links are courtesy Apple via the company website.) Better is this great free (donationware) App – DiskMakerX. If you want to make a bootable installer (to put on an external drive or thumb drive), this is what Apple suggests. If you have a need for a really old OS and don’t want to download and install, contact MacRecycleClinic, as we have DVDs with most of the older OS software – including some PowerPC software, and can help you with the install. RUN GOOGLE APPS VIA TENFOURFOX FOR FREENote that some of the earlier Mac OS varieties like OS 7 Lion is, for some reason, sold by Apple rather than provided for free (but keep reading – there’s a solution for that!). ![]() Even tho Catalina is available via the App Store, we’ll include it here (as a link). Thus, we offer a list of OS downloads (from the Apple website and beyond) so that you don’t have to go looking for them. While it might seem easy to just Google your request, it’s not always that easy. ![]() At the MacRecycleClinic, we keep thumb drives and external hard drives partitioned with individual installers from Catalina on back – or even Time Machine backups (which are quicker than OS installs). Those of us who use Macs may have need to reinstall an older version of the OS from time to time. ![]()
