hi
anyone know where to get this now. I tried the links provided in another posy but it says DAMAGED cannot install.
I do not have anyone who can do a USB for me either.
There is a Mac store 30ks away, could they do it?
If this is all impossible what is the earliest MacBook Pro model I could buy that would allow latest OS system. COVID has made me unemployed so a new Mac is out of the question.
Stay safe n healthy
Namaste

make sure you have a disk-based backup before proceeding.
Use the links in this new article about old macOS:
if these do not work, please let readers know and we can message the hosts to get them fixed.

Use the Safari browser only to initiate the download:

if you continue to have an issue :
Call Customer Support (800) MY–APPLE (800–692–7753)
The 2015 MBP was a solid machine can run the latest macOS.

No mate that was a bust. Same link I tried earlier that gets the "DAMAGED" popup. Should I try to inform a mod?
I might just follow the second idea and try to find an affordable used Pro that can run Catalina. Would you have any suggestions as to yr models? Im asking as I'm in a remote local and the closest Mac shop (50 mile round trip) is not a reseller so is an online job. By the way I have checked the Mac site in my locale for refurbished and they only show 2019 models which sadly are unaffordable at present.

Thats awesome brother :D
Was just reading that many are still happy with their 15" Pro from 2012 but I think not big enough a sum so 2015 definitely makes more sense to me anyway, perhaps even more so than taking to a mortgage for a new model just before Apple switches to the Silicon.
Many many thanks for the kind input

Hi
Thanks for all your replies.
All sorted. What peeps weren’t including in their kind suggestions was that there are two ABSOLUTE MUSTS besides using Safari.
One: delete any files that might inc High Sierra
Two: Use ethernet connection and disable wifi.
Perhaps those kind enough to reply to my previous expected me to know that already, but sadly I did not.
I’m loading High Sierra as I type this and so far (knock on wood) it’s working!
probably have to Home install some more RAM though as some have said it can slow things down.
oh yeah and being an insomniac I did a lot of searching last night and took the general advice that it’s not a great idea to use any free download links like the one I was enquiring about.
This really occurred because after receiving an iPad for Christmas back in ‘17 I just stopped using the MacBook so fell out of the habit of doing upgrades. So lucky this forum exists and there are so many gracious and helpful members.
Namaste
ps thanks ‘leroydouglas’ I’m in Oz but am taking your advice and buying a 2015 13” MacBook Pro. They run about $700-$900 aussie for an as new 8 gig running Catalina. My only hesitation is wether the whole used Mac market will take a big hit when Apple Silicon rolls out? I’ll make a thread 😅
<< My only hesitation is whether the whole used Mac market will take a big hit when Apple Silicon rolls out? >>
Apple-Silicon Macs rolled out in the US 19 November 2020, and nothing changed.
New Macs are still expensive, and new Intel models were not removed from the lineup -- yet.
Ok thanks interesting well having just managed a successful update I’ll grab a 2015 in the new year. I don’t think Australia has the new processor yet but from what you’ve said it won’t matter much anyway so thanks
Thank you Grant.
Much appreciated :D
Try it in safe mode, and using Safari, to be sure "something you added' is not interfering.
thanks yep cross fingers and pray ;D
I don't understand your items one and two. For one, what items did you delete?
for two, if you had ethernet available, why not use it all day every day -- it's faster.
macOS Sierra to High Sierra MacBook Pro early 2011
