Where to download OS X .dmg?

I want to download Mac OS X Yosemite and Mavericks, where can I find the .dmg files?! Anyone knows?!

Up to you to try reformatting the drive if you have the time, and much more importantly, have a full backup of your current data on a separate drive before doing so.
Many don't agree, but in the case of both Windows and the Mac OS, I have never once - ever - seen a computer that didn't run better from an OS that was installed on an erased drive rather than installing the new OS over an old one. It's the only way I personally will upgrade to a new OS.
Since I have a lot of large apps that need to be reinstalled, and work to do, I always install the new OS on an separate, erased partition. As I have time, I keep reinstalling my apps until everything is the same as the previous OS. It may take a week or two, but that allows me to keep working under the previous OS until I have the new one ready.
That also allows me to check for issues with the new OS, such as apps that won't run correctly under the new OS; bugs the new OS introduces that are a direct problem with getting client work done, etc. The new OS will just sit there as a test bed until things that need to be worked out, are. Then I'm not one of the many users who come here complaining, "(Name any major upgrade Apple has released) has ruined my Mac! How do I downgrade to the previous OS!" Which is often followed by, "I don't have a backup." Really? Why not? No software is perfect. No company is perfect. I don't understand why people believe Apple should be any different in that respect.

  • Does anyoneone know where I can get the dmg 10.4.3 combo

    Does anyoneone know where I can get the dmg 10.4.3 combo I tried downloading it from Apple site but the link brought me to latest updates instead Thanks

    Posted to the wrong person...
    What version of 10.4 are you on now?
    At first I was thinking the Deltas... 10.4.1, 10.4.2, 10.4.3, but it looks like Apple pulled them all!
    Maybe if you expose/show your email in your profile, somebody could give you a clue.
    Will 10.4.2 Combo work?
    EDIT: Just saw this...

  • Where to download iPhone OS image for testing?

    I have no idea where to download this iPhone OS disk image for my iPod Touch that plan to be used for testing...
    "Download the iPhone OS Disk Image (.dmg) from the iPhone Dev Center for the Apple device you are using."

    My understanding is that the iPhone OS 2.2 beta is not necessarily available to everyone. If you've been accepted as a beta tester it will be the second area on the iPhone Dev Center after logging in (the first area is titled "Apple Developer Forums Beta", the second "iPhone OS 2.2 Beta Downloads", the third "iPhone OS 2.1 Downloads". If you're only seeing the 2.1 downloads then you're not part of the beta program. In this case, the iPhone firmware can be updated via iTunes, but only to the current version (2.1) and you'll need to wait until the general release of iPhone OS 2.2 and upgrade as normal.

  • Anyone know where can download some dissertation adout adobe bridge plug-in?

    anyone know where can download some dissertations about adobe bridge plug-in?I`m vexationing and afflictioning ...........

    So yes from what I gathered on the phone support call, the update would download and fail during the install.  The support person did a remote desktop session where they dug through tmp folders checking various log files, etc.  They downloaded and tried installing some other type of patch.  No go. After an hour or so they threw up their hands.  I did a search for that to see if they followed up with a case # for the call, and I couldn't find it.  Either they didn't send me one or I accidentally deleted it (but it's not in my trash/archive so doubt that).
    Prior to the support call, I did a chat session, which was dropped because a link loaded into the session, ending it.  That was after I had been troubleshooting with them for about an hour.  Frustrating.  So I opted to call in instead of chat, see above.  The case # on that chat is #0185619250. I didn't follow up on it since I went the call route.  Here's another case I found on my acct, dealing w/ this matter.
    0185699971
    Btw, here's the full error msg I get when installing the PS CC 2014 update.  This is the same error I've been getting more over a month.  Thanks

    I have rented a movie on my ipad. It did not download due to not being on wifi at the time.  I know I completed the rental because my gift card balance went down $3.99 plus tax.  How do I find where to download the movie?

    But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
    If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

  • I need to know the location where iTunes downloads software to, it is filling up my hard drive.

    I need to know the location where iTunes downloads software to, it is filling up my hard drive.
    I am trying to put my iPhone4 into recovery and then will restore it. iTunes starts extracting the software.  But the iPhone reboots and by the time the software has completed extraction, the iPhone can no longer be seen by iTunes. 
    We have a very small hard drive on our laptop.  Each time iTunes does an extraction, it uses up more space on the C: drive. 
    Nothing frees up that used drive space. Not closing iTunes or rebooting the computer. Nothing. 
    How do we release / delete these files?

    See Re: when itunes downloads ipsw where does it go.

  • HT2188 I just got an iPad mini, when I try to upload my iPhone backup from my Mac i get the message to upgrade my iTunes. I can not seen to find where the download link is for iPads on apple website. Can anyone help?

    I just got an iPad mini, when I try to upload my iPhone backup from my Mac i get the message to upgrade my iTunes. I can not seen to find where the download link is for iPads on apple website. Can anyone help?

    The message is referring to iTunes on your computer, not the iPad : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    The built-in apps on the iPad can only be updated via iOS updates, so if your iPad mini is on iOS 6.0.2 then its up-to-date

  • Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    Folks,
    Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
    Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
    But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
    Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
    You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
    Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.
