macOS Mojave 14.0

Where is the iOS Mojave 14.0 app? I know there are updates, but I need the original app before I can load the updates. I use an Adobe app that cannot function with the latest OS.

If you see Open in the App Store Mojave page then the App Store is detecting a copy or partial copy of Mojave on your mac.

Look in your Applications folder for Install macOS Mojave.app, move it to the Trash, empty the Trash.

Connect your mac to your router using a cable, Restart your Mac, go back to the Mojave App Store page and now click on Get. The download of Mojave should start, do not use the mac while it is downloading and don't use any other devices that share your internet connection.

This downloads the full version of macOS Mojave (6.2GBs), the version is 10.14.6, you do not need 14.0 it no longer exists for download. Anything else you have been downloading are updates for Mojave in which you need to already have had a previous version of Mojave installed.

I appreciate your reply very much. I have been in the App Store. I have gone to Step 4 after clicking on the link provided. Step 4 includes a link, "Get macOS Mojave" and when I have clicked on it, I get a window, "Launch Application." If I click on "App Store," I get a window that says, "Connecting to the Mac App Store" and in very small print, it says, "To use the Mac App Store, you need Mac OS 10.6.6 or greater. For more information, please click here." I operate High Sierra (v. 10.13.6). The connecting is an endless loop so no luck in finding Mojave.


I have used the Apple website, clicked on "App Store," then "Learn how to use the App Store" link for the section "Download apps and games," and that gets me into games. (Maybe Apple is playing a game with me???)


Any other suggestions? I have Mojave on my small MacBook Pro, and I need it on my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015). When I attempt to install the installer "app" I downloaded to my HD last summer, I get an error message that says, "This copy of the install macOS Mojave application is damaged and can't be used to install macOS." So, that's a bust.


Any other suggestions???? Is there anyway to copy Mojave from the laptop to the desktop computer?

Jan 18, 2020 5:48 PM in response to dialabrain

I'd like to do just that. That's the goal. BUT, when I go to the App Store there is NO Mojave 10.0, so no installer. Right? The installer from last summer was just one of the options I tried (referenced in paragraph 3). The first two paragraphs in my previous reply all relate to the suggestion from your colleague's link. Where is Mojave installer 10.0????? And, after we find that, then which update or update combo do I then install???

Jan 18, 2020 7:30 PM in response to stedman1

OK, let's reboot! Am ever so glad I don't need now to find Mojave 10.0 and then add updates to the downloaded version of Mojave (whew!).


BUT still no downloaded file!


Here's what I did:

1. Clicked on "How to Upgrade macOS Mojave - Apple Support" from you initial reply.

2. Read through " How tyo Upgrade...."

3. Clicked on the link in Step 4 "Get macOS Mojave."

4. Clicked on highlighted "App Store" in Launch Application" and clicked on "Open Link" option.

5. Read through resulting window "MacOS Mojave. Simply Powerful" page.

6. Clicked on circular "Open" pull-down menu, and opted for the "copy link" choice (actually did that twice).

7. Went to the menu bar and pasted the copy (apps.apple.com/us/app/macos-mojave/id1398502828?mt=12).

8. Clicked on link and new window opened, "Connecting to the Mac App Store." (It's still trying to open, despite the time it has taken me to write this message.)


SO....something's wrong in the sequence or links provided. PLEASE, PLEASE help me! This situation is worse than all the ****** DOS stuff in the long-ago past and the "joy" with Windows! This download shouldn't be this hard.

Jan 18, 2020 9:30 PM in response to dialabrain

BINGO! I need the installers, and that is what I originally requested. (Hopefully this isn't an age issue here.) Again, where do I find the download for macO Mojave 14.0???? Not updates, just the real deal. Just give me a workable linkl, and we should be done. From everything we've explored, I need that WORKABLE link for your previous operating system (i.e., Mojave) BEFORE I can do any update. So far, nothing but wasted time on everyone's part!. Or so it seems right now. Again, PLEASE, PLEASE help me! This is your job...providing user support. Surely, you are more educated on the OS system than I am surmising but.... The download of Mojave shouldn't be this hard, IF you guys know the link. If you don't, please pass this request to someone who does have that info.

Many than ks for your hints. I did indeed trash the "Install macOS mojave" file in my app folder (one I downloaded last summer) and restarted the computer (couldn't connect a cable to the router, however). Left the computer alone while downloading and installing, and all seems to be OK right now with 10.14.6. (BTW, I love your logo/image. I still have my MacintoshPlus computer and my first laptop - a PowerBook 170.)

macOS Mojave 14.0
