Is it possible to download the installer files of Bridge 2022 and 2023

So, backstory, I tried installing macOS Monterey on my 2020 Intel MacBook Pro. However, the update app keeps crashing, and when I made a bootable installer for Monterey, it threw me an error that says "A software update is required to use this startup disk". Of course, I Googled the problem, but...

Has anybody saved the Rosetta 2 installer or found a location? I reinstalled using 11.5RC but removed the Developer Profile BEFORE installing Rosetta. Now it cannot find it and I cannot reinstall the profile, since the installer needs Rosetta 2! Meanwhile I am downloading the 11.4 IPSW to...

How long does it take to install Catalina (from Mojave?) it seems to be stuck (on the progress bar) at around approx 5%.

Is the Installer for Catalina still available? When I go to the App store, it doesn't show up in the Search. I downloaded it at one time, but it's not listed in my Purchased Apps. There are some links found on a Google search. When I click on them, they bring up Big Sur download. Thanks.

Happy 2023! Welcome to the community WikiPost. We will be discussing OS X Leopard on G3’s (and G4’s). As of early 2023, the guide is “active”. The content has been updated, however, we are still looking for someone to finish the shell script to automate the install. [/SPOILER] If you want...

So I just bought a new macbook air. I downloaded google chrome, I had to drag the chrome icon into my applications folder and now there is an 'installer' icon from chrome on my desktop. I wanted to delete this or drag it into antoher folder but it's just impossible. Even when I look with finder...

This is a question to other macOS collectors. So far I was able to cherish an operating system archive. My backup strategy usually consists at least of: 1.) a freshly from the MAS downloaded zip compressed macOS Installer app, stored on an external disk drive 2.) an installer thumb drive for...

So, I had a 2012 MBP with an M500 SSD drive formatted APFS with High Sierra running fine. I removed the drive and put it in an external USB3.0 enclosure. I've found that this drive is not seen and won't boot by a 2010 13" MBP and a Late 2013 15" rMBP but WILL BE SEEN AND BOOT by an Early 2013...

Is there anything I can do to prevent booting into the installer? My OWC Aurora SSD is "write locked" and macOS High Sierra upgrade cannot proceed despite multiple restarts. Same problem if boot from a macOS High Sierra USB flash drive. I tried booting to single user mode and deleting the...

Once I've purchased a new internal hard drive for my Mac Pro 4,1 to use to create a clone backup of the boot drive, and I'm satisfied that the cloning process has been successful, I want to upgrade my OS from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.5. [I'm very aware how out of date / deprecated...

For the macOS installer app, under Contents/MacOS, there are three different InstallAssistant executables that seemingly look the same. Does anybody know the difference between InstallAssistant InstallAssistant_plain and InstallAssistant_springboard? Thanks!

I'm currently experimenting with different methods for my Leopard install with updates/apps. One thing I'd like to try is modifying the installer itself, so that you can install with the default Leopard installer and use the Setup Assistant. However, I can't figure out how to do this, and the...

I am using an iMac with El Capitan. OS software is all up to date. I cannot open downloaded apps any longer so I presume installer.app has been corrupted. Can anybody tell me how I can re-install that app?

I have been trying to download different versions of Photoshop, however no matter what I do the installer always fails to initialize. I have deleted the dmg and redownloaded it as well as downloading a new file. I have even uninstalled flash and tried using the Adobe app cleaner but nothing...

I have El Capitan installed. However, I want to download the El Cap installer, make a bootable thumb drive and install it clean on a new SSD. In the App store, I can initiate a download (I *think*??) but have no way of knowing if it's download or not, other than an endlessly spinning progress...

So my external SSD broke and I lost a few files I was hours away from backing up. One of those files was my Safari 7.1.8 installer (the last version for Mavericks before they jumped to 9.x and changed some visual elements). The direct download links from Apple's servers are dead, as with every...
