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!)

2021 – 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.

Note 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.
