So, you've decided to download an older version of Mac OS X. There are many reasons that could point you to this radical decision. To begin with, some of your apps may not be working properly (or simply crash) on newer operating systems. Also, you may have noticed your Mac's performance went down right after the last update. Finally, if you want to run a parallel copy of Mac OS X on a virtual machine, you too will need a working installation file of an older Mac OS X. Further down we'll explain where to get one and what problems you may face down the road.

This project was built and tested on the Mac OS X platform with the following dependencies: CMake = 3.5; Boost = 1.61; Instructions. https://theperfectnewline.weebly.com/mp3-rate-converter.html. Do as you would any CMake project to compile: mkdir cmake cd cmake cmake. Make Run application: cd bin./cmakeboostdemo Run unit test suite: cd cmake/test ctest References. CMake: An introduction; CMake. /dev: Rammus, Rift to Rift. Rolling out Rammus' high-flyin' update to League PC and Wild Rift took more than a quick copy-paste.

A list of all Mac OS X versions

We'll be repeatedly referring to these Apple OS versions below, so it's good to know the basic macOS timeline.

Cheetah 10.0Puma 10.1Jaguar 10.2
Panther 10.3Tiger 10.4Leopard 10.5
Snow Leopard 10.6Lion 10.7Mountain Lion 10.8
Mavericks 10.9Yosemite 10.10El Capitan 10.11
Sierra 10.12High Sierra 10.13Mojave 10.14
Catalina 10.15

The default operating system is the one you want to use when you turn on or restart your Mac. In macOS, choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Startup Disk. Click the lock, type an administrator name and password, then click Unlock. Select the startup disk that has the default operating system. The browser version of the tool works flawlessly on nearly every operating system – Android, iOS, Windows, Blackberry – and the support team keeps everything up-to-date constantly. Project management for Mac with the help of SmartSheet is super easy thanks to the robust set of features and the absence of a learning curve. The following two methods both place all of the files in the /usr/local/bin directory in the hard driver. Unfortunately that directory is not in the default path. That means that when you type avrdude into the terminal it cant figure out where to look. In this prep-step you'll change the profile of your Terminal to add /usr/local/bin to the path. Find the Terminal program, you'll be using.

STEP 1. Prepare your Mac for installation

Given your Mac isn't new and is filled with data, you will probably need enough free space on your Mac. This includes not just space for the OS itself but also space for other applications and your user data. One more argument is that the free space on your disk translates into virtual memory so your apps have 'fuel' to operate on. The chart below tells you how much free space is needed.

Note, that it is recommended that you install OS on a clean drive. Next, you will need enough disk space available, for example, to create Recovery Partition. Here are some ideas to free up space on your drive:

  • Uninstall large unused apps
  • Empty Trash Bin and Downloads
  • Locate the biggest files on your computer:

Go to Finder > All My Files > Arrange by size
Then you can move your space hoggers onto an external drive or a cloud storage.
If you aren't comfortable with cleaning the Mac manually, there are some nice automatic 'room cleaners'. Our favorite is CleanMyMac as it's most simple to use of all. It deletes system junk, old broken apps, and the rest of hidden junk on your drive.

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.9 (free version)

STEP 2. Get a copy of Mac OS X download

Normally, it is assumed that updating OS is a one-way road. That's why going back to a past Apple OS version is problematic. The main challenge is to download the OS installation file itself, because your Mac may already be running a newer version. If you succeed in downloading the OS installation, your next step is to create a bootable USB or DVD and then reinstall the OS on your computer.

How to download older Mac OS X versions via the App Store


If you once had purchased an old version of Mac OS X from the App Store, open it and go to the Purchased tab. There you'll find all the installers you can download. However, it doesn't always work that way. The purchased section lists only those operating systems that you had downloaded in the past. But here is the path to check it:

  1. Click the App Store icon.
  2. Click Purchases in the top menu.
  3. Scroll down to find the preferred OS X version.
  4. Click Download.

This method allows you to download Mavericks and Yosemite by logging with your Apple ID — only if you previously downloaded them from the Mac App Store.

Without App Store: Download Mac OS version as Apple Developer

If you are signed with an Apple Developer account, you can get access to products that are no longer listed on the App Store. If you desperately need a lower OS X version build, consider creating a new Developer account among other options. The membership cost is $99/year and provides a bunch of perks unavailable to ordinary users.

Nevertheless, keep in mind that if you visit developer.apple.com/downloads, you can only find 10.3-10.6 OS X operating systems there. Newer versions are not available because starting Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.7, the App Store has become the only source of updating Apple OS versions.

Purchase an older version of Mac operating system

You can purchase a boxed or email version of past Mac OS X directly from Apple. Both will cost you around $20. For the reason of being rather antiquated, Snow Leopard and earlier Apple versions can only be installed from DVD.

Buy a boxed edition of Snow Leopard 10.6
Get an email copy of Lion 10.7
Get an email copy of Mountain Lion 10.8

The email edition comes with a special download code you can use for the Mac App Store. Note, that to install the Lion or Mountain Lion, your Mac needs to be running Snow Leopard so you can install the newer OS on top of it.

How to get macOS El Capitan download

If you are wondering if you can run El Capitan on an older Mac, rejoice as it's possible too. But before your Mac can run El Capitan it has to be updated to OS X 10.6.8. So, here are main steps you should take:

1. Install Snow Leopard from install DVD.
2. Update to 10.6.8 using Software Update.
3. Download El Capitan here.

'I can't download an old version of Mac OS X'

If you have a newer Mac, there is no physical option to install Mac OS versions older than your current Mac model. For instance, if your MacBook was released in 2014, don't expect it to run any OS released prior of that time, because older Apple OS versions simply do not include hardware drivers for your Mac.

But as it often happens, workarounds are possible. There is still a chance to download the installation file if you have an access to a Mac (or virtual machine) running that operating system. For example, to get an installer for Lion, you may ask a friend who has Lion-operated Mac or, once again, set up a virtual machine running Lion. Then you will need to prepare an external drive to download the installation file using OS X Utilities.

After you've completed the download, the installer should launch automatically, but you can click Cancel and copy the file you need. Below is the detailed instruction how to do it.

STEP 3. Install older OS X onto an external drive

The following method allows you to download Mac OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks.

Project boost (aliimar) mac os update
  1. Start your Mac holding down Command + R.
  2. Prepare a clean external drive (at least 10 GB of storage).
  3. Within OS X Utilities, choose Reinstall OS X.
  4. Select external drive as a source.
  5. Enter your Apple ID.

Now the OS should start downloading automatically onto the external drive. After the download is complete, your Mac will prompt you to do a restart, but at this point, you should completely shut it down. Now that the installation file is 'captured' onto your external drive, you can reinstall the OS, this time running the file on your Mac.

  1. Boot your Mac from your standard drive.
  2. Connect the external drive.
  3. Go to external drive > OS X Install Data.

Locate InstallESD.dmg disk image file — this is the file you need to reinstall Lion OS X. The same steps are valid for Mountain Lion and Mavericks.

How to downgrade a Mac running later macOS versions

If your Mac runs macOS Sierra 10.12 or macOS High Sierra 10.13, it is possible to revert it to the previous system if you are not satisfied with the experience. You can do it either with Time Machine or by creating a bootable USB or external drive.

Before you do it, the best advice is to back your Mac up so your most important files stay intact. In addition to that, it makes sense to clean up your Mac from old system junk files and application leftovers. The easiest way to do it is to run CleanMyMac X on your machine (download it for free here).

Visit your local Apple Store to download older OS X version

If none of the options to get older OS X worked, pay a visit to nearest local Apple Store. They should have image installations going back to OS Leopard and earlier. You can also ask their assistance to create a bootable USB drive with the installation file. So here you are. We hope this article has helped you to download an old version of Mac OS X. Below are a few more links you may find interesting.

Here is a 'generic' step-by-step to getting an AVR development platform going on your computer using the free AVR toolchain (avr-gcc, avr-libc and avrdude) Pretty much every project uses this toolset so its a good way to get going

The following two methods both place all of the files in the /usr/local/bin directory in the hard driver. Unfortunately that directory is not in the default path. That means that when you type avrdude into the terminal it cant figure out where to look. In this prep-step you'll change the profile of your Terminal to add /usr/local/bin to the path.

Find the Terminal program, you'll be using this to do most of this stuff. Its in the Applications/Utilities folder

In the new Terminal window, type in echo $SHELL and press return

If the output is /bin/bash then type the following command:
echo 'PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin' >> ~/.bash_profile
all on one line. Press return.

If the output is /bin/csh or /bin/tcsh then type the following command:
echo 'set path = ($path /usr/local/bin)' >> ~/.cshrc
all on one line. Press return.

Close any Terminal windows and open up a new one. This makes sure the .bash_profile or .cshrc is reloaded. Now type in echo $PATH (for bash) or echo $path (for t/csh) you should get something like the following:

The important thing is that at the end of the line is /usr/local/bin

This is the suggested method

Download the ready to go nice package from ObDev, I havent tried it but a friendly email'er said its great.

This isnt suggested, and is an older method, but we leave the documentation here in case its handy

You will need make which is included in XCode, as OSX-AVR doesn't come with it (ugh)

Step 1. Download and install the mac developer tools (XCode).

You need to have make installed, but it doesn't come with the OSXAVR package. You can try installing it with fink, which will require a lot less space but the following is guaranteed. If you want to have the latest avr-gcc you may also have to do it the 'old way' which guarantees the most recent tools will be installed.

To install XCode you will need the official packages. These are available on your Mac OS X Install CD, or from apple at: apple developer tools. The file is about 900MB so unless you have a fast connection I strongly encourage grabbing it off of the Install CDs that came with your Mac (you do still have those, right?) Basically we need the native Mac OS X compiler tools so that we can generate the AVR compiler tools.

There's finally a good/fast way of installing all these tools under Mac OS X PPC or i386! First, download the OSX-AVR packge for PPC (older macs) or i386 (Intel macs, latest ones) from sourceforge.

Run the OSX-AVR.mpkg

You're done!

(Images of installation and process are forthcoming but its rather easy so go ahead and try it anyways)

Don't forget you have to install XCode as make doesn't come with this package.

Can't get it working? Dont worry, help is available in the forums!

This is the advanced method, for when you need bleeding-edge development and hackability. Not suggested

The following steps are essentially the same for MacOS X or Linux, BSD or any other unixy OS. This is the 'old style' of installing avr-gcc, its longer and more tedious but you are guaranteed to have the latest version.

(Note that this doesn't seem to work on Intel Macs for unknown reasons, we're investigating.)

Ddlc mac os. Leah Buchley has an excellent tutorial, and you should follow it. I've reduplicated it here in case the site goes down. (also with a few minor 'improvements' and images

Step 2. Download & install binutils (an essential utility for the C compiler)

Download the current release of binutils from : http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/ (you can also go straight to the download site here) For these examples, we'll be using binutils-2.17.tar.gz but you should use whatever is most recent. Save it into your home directory, not the desktop.

Decompress the downloaded file and double click on it to decompress it (or use Stuffit Expander, in the Applications folder). You should now have a folder called binutils-2.17 which you should drag into your Home directory

Open up a Terminal window and navigate to the binutils directory. Type: cd binutils-2.17 (or whatever you downloaded) theb type in ls to verify everythings there

Configure binutils for AVR. type: ./configure --target=avr
this will start a long process that will spit out a lot of text.

Once its done, compile binutils. type: make
this will start an even longer compilation process


Once that's done, install binutils. type: sudo make install
You will be prompted to enter your password. Only administrators can install software thats why the password is necessary.


Step 3. Download & install gcc (the C compiler)
First, download the current release of gcc from: http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html currently thats gcc 4.2.0

Decompress the downloaded file and put the decompressed folder in your home directory. Open up a new Terminal window in your home directory, type cd gcc-4.2.0 and then ls Elevenses mac os. to verify its all in there.

Next, c reate another directory to install gcc into.
type: cd . to go back into the home directory, then
type: mkdir avrgcc-4.2 (substituting your gcc version for the 4.2)
Navigate to the folder you created.
type: cd avrgcc-4.2 (or whatever you named your folder)
Configure gcc for AVR.
Type: ./gcc-4.2.0/configure --target=avr --enable-languages=c --disable-libssp
(substituting the name of the folder you decompressed for the gcc-4.2.0)
**thanks to Seth Raphael for the --disable-libssp tip

Once the configuration is done, compile gcc.
type: make CC='cc --no-cpp-precomp'

This will take a long time so go have a sandwich

When its done and you've washed your plate and silverware, install gcc. type: sudo make install
and enter your password when prompted


Step 4. Download and install avr-libc (an essential C library for AVR chips)

Download the current release of avr-libc from : http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avr-libc/

Decompress the downloaded file and put the decompressed folder in your home directory

In a new Terminal Flappy bird (itch) (moomoocow) mac os. window, navigagte to the avr-libc directory. from your home directory
type: cd avr-libc-1.4.6 (or whatever you downloaded)

Configure avr-libc. type: ./configure --host=avr

Project Boost (aliimar) Mac Os Update

Compile avr-libc. type: make

Install avr-libc. type: sudo make install Oh mayan god (patched) mac os.

Step 5. Download and install avrdude (the software that loads programs from your machine onto the chips)

Download the current release of avrdude from : http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/avrdude/

Project Boost (aliimar) Mac Os Catalina

Decompress the downloaded file and put the decompressed folder in your home directory

In a Terminal window, navigate to the avrdude directory. From your home directory type: cd avrdude-5.2 (or whatever you downloaded)
Configure avrdude. type: ./configure
Compile avrdude. type: make
Install avrdude. type: sudo make install

Yay all the software is installed!
