Online download of OS X

My CD drive is in need of repair thanks to my three-year-old. I really want to upgrade to OS X but don't want to put my imac back in the shop. We will probably be buying a new imac after the first of the year anyway. Is there anyway I can buy OS X and legally download it online instead of using the disc?

Hi, cstillion, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Is there anyway I can buy OS X and legally download it online instead of using the disc?
No. It's far too large for that to be practical, even if Apple had decided to make it possible as a matter of policy, which has not happened.

    I bought Lightroom 3 or 4, can't remember which, as an online download. I then upgraded to 5 with a CD. I registered the upgrade on my Adobe account and that's where the serial number is. I just bought a new iMac and am trying to install Lightroom. The system is asking for my original serial number which I don't have. The point is. If I have the upgrade registered with my Adobe account, shouldn't that be proof that an earlier version was on my computer??? I'm really stuck. Need some advice! Thanks

    Hi John,
    Thanks for your response, but if you read my first mail, it's the original serial number that I don't have. I bought the original LR as download and have misplaced the serial number. Is there any way to find it???

  • I am trying to "personalize my cs2 software online download with the serial number from my original boxed cd set and it didn't work. I tried using the download serial number and that doesn't work either. Need help!

    I am trying to "personalize" my cs2 software online download with the serial number from my original boxed cd set and it didn't work. I tried using the download serial number and that doesn't work either. Need help!

    I understand that you have also used the download link & serial number from Adobe - CS2 Downloads, if still the CS2 is not working, then please refer to the system requirement for e.g System requirements | Photoshop
    The issue can be that the present operating system might not be compatible with the CS2.

  • Bought Lion online, downloaded, when finished an error message appeared and 3,7GB vanished... Anyone with a similar experience???

    Bought Lion online, downloaded, when finished an error message appeared and 3,7GB vanished... Anyone with a similar experience???

    All I know is that once it is installed it is erased, the Lion Installer is erased from the applications folder.
    You won't have to pay for it again if you have to download again. Remember to move it out of the applications folder, then you can trash it when you are ready or even burn a startup DVD.
    My knowledge comes from two e-books you can get here
    http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/lion-upgrading
    and the one about using lion.
    Good luck

  • Difference between the CD and online downloaded versions of Multisim (student version)?

    I want to buy the Multisim student version and noticed that there is a CD version and also a online downloadable one. I believe the CD version cost more money. Is there a difference between the two? Are the installing processes between the two different? What is the usual process for installing the software?
    Thanks, any input much appreciated!

    Hi,
    The version you download and what we send on CD is exactly the same.  The only thing you need is a serial number to activate the software and this you should get through email.

  • Online download Error message for ALL pdf.'s

    I continuously receive an error when downloading a pdf from online. The error message states: "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:9)". When I close everything down, it still does not present the document...but when I try this action on any other machine in my office, it works... How can I fix the issue with my machine??

    Are these all the same OS, browser, and Acrobat version (including the updates)? It might help to tell use what versions of each you are using. Can you save the file and open it in Acrobat? Do you have both Acrobat and Reader installed?

    I would like to download online the CS3 because I do not find my original DVD copy.
    Is there any chance to get it like that?
    Thanks,

    Hmm, I'm downloading the mac clients for CS3 design premium.  I was able to download them without being signed in.  Try signing out of your account and then downloading them.
    Right click on these links, then save them as is when the prompt comes up:

  • Trouble with the Online download system

    Hello, I have downloaded the online version of the program I have from the Adobe Downloads page. However, every time (it's been over four times, now) the download finished, the download does not want to open. I double click the download and whatever page tries to open flashes on the screen very quickly and then nothing happens.
    Could someone help me, please?
    P.S. I own the Adobe Create Suite 6 Design and Web Premium Education Edition.

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. Simply sounds like your system is not compatible.

  • Linksys WRT160N Online Downloading issues Please help!!

    Ok guys im a newbie to this Networking way of life.
    Your help is greatly needed and appreciated here is my problem.
    Equipment= Comcast motorola modem/Linksys WRT160N Wireless router/Linksys WGA600N wireless gaming adapter
    The issue here is i do alot of online gaming through my Xbox 360 console i can host a variety of matches online and for hours and hours at a time no lag what so ever but as you know on the Xbox360 dashboard they incorporate a wide range of downloaded content whether it be for your game library or media when I click on content to download no matter the size of the file the speed is terrible it takes about 5-10mins to get from 1% to 3% and just sits there for even a longer period of time as it is at this rate I will have to wait anywhere from 1-2hrs to download a demo or a video or netflix movie. I've contacted tech supp on this and trouble shooted different scenarios I have also port forwarded the ports and I'm still having this issue. 
    The Wireless router is located 15feet away from the gaming adapter FYI 
    Please advise!!!!   

    This may be a little old, but I have a WGA600N and a WRT610N..  I've had much the same problems but here is what I've discovered that may help.
    The WGA600N in the initial setup connected to your computer doesnt have a means of specifying exactly how you want to connect to your wireless (no channel, band, etc).  What ends up happening is that you set your wireless on your router to be "mixed" and the adapter will constantly switch channels.
    I went so far as to specify on my 5ghz band on the router that it be "N-Only" and the adapter still gave sluggish performance.
    On a whim, after reading some advice I re-setup my adapter and gave it a static IP address outside of the range of my DHCP settings.  This still gave me no better performance.
    Then, I decided to try hitting the static IP of the adapter in my browser, and voila!  I can access all the advanced settings of the adapter that you couldn't during the initial setup connected to the computer.  My adapter is using the 1.00 release and I'm able to finally tell the adapter to use "N-Only" as it defaults to "Mixed" mode and will channel surf on you dropping connections.
    Having played with both my WGA600N and WRT610N, I can hope for a better firmware release soon but hopefully these tips help you set up your adapter and router a bit better.
    Good luck!
