Follow the on-screen instructions to perform a compatibility check, and prepare for installation.In the archive, double-click InstallMacOSX.pkg.Double-click the downloaded archive, InstallMacOSX.dmg, to view its contents.The file size is 5.8 GB, so the download may take a while, depending on the speed of your Internet connection. Download the El Capitan installer from Apple.If your Mac is running OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, follow these steps to upgrade to El Capitan. If your Mac is running Mavericks or newer, you can proceed to upgrade to Catalina. * If your Mac is running OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, you must upgrade to El Capitan before you can upgrade to Catalina. The following versions of OS X and macOS can be upgraded to macOS Catalina. If anything goes wrong, you can restore your Mac to its previous state. Back up your dataĪlthough not required, we strongly recommend you back up your Mac before proceeding with an upgrade. However, you can still try to upgrade to El Capitan. If you are running macOS Mojave this will not be possible.If your Mac is not on this list, you cannot upgrade to Catalina.
To reiterate, it is possible to download the installer for an older versions the Mac App Store but only if you are running macOS High Sierra or older. But that download also no longer appears to be valid if you access it in Mojave, with the message “Update not found: The requested version of macOS is not available” appearing.Īgain, we were able to confirm that El Capitan installer could be downloaded on a Mac running High Sierra and on one running Sierra. We also tested the link Apple provided to download El Capitan back when High Sierra launched (here). Could you please confirm that?Įdit: Apparently this should still work, if you are using TINU on High Sierra and below I now checked multiple times on different installations. On Mojave you can still see the App store page, but you cannot download them any more.
As for the App store links, I suspect that macOS Sierra & El Capitan have actually been removed, because they do not receive security updates any more (Apple only supports 3 versions at the same time).
Yeah sure, it's probably best to keep TINU as focussed and lean as possible, preventing maintenance hassles in the future.Ĭatalina now shows up and works in beta 2. I just don't want to have the responsibility to link users to third party methods, whaterver they are, and so not having situations like them complain back to me for those methods i linked for example
