Hello.

I cannot seem to find the older Mac OS versions' installer files to
redownload (Mojave v10.14.6 and earlier). I only can find Catalina
v10.15.7). Did Apple remove them? :(

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

If it doesn't work for you, try pruning the link.

It works in Polish App Store, no matter if I put "gb" or "us" in the link. It looks like you need to find a trusted person outside US to download it for
you, or wait and hope it's just a glitch.

This link worked for me just now, though I did not actually download it
as I already have an installer DMG of Mojave archived.

You can download full installers using the softwareupdate utility on the command line, at least in theory. I have not gotten it to work but I am
on the Big Sur Beta.

softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.15.7 softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.14.6 softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.13.6 softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.12.6

Works just fine in the US, even with the /gb/ in the link.

I've used this method in the past to refresh my archived installers
(which are signed with certificates that eventually expire and are
renewed by Apple periodically).

I just downloaded all of the latest installers for everything back to
10.11.6 with this method, and it works well. Recommended.

None needed. The "Install macOS ******" app is downloaded and placed in

Hello.

I cannot seem to find the older Mac OS versions' installer files to >>>> redownload (Mojave v10.14.6 and earlier). I only can find Catalina >>>> v10.15.7). Did Apple remove them? :(

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

This App Store link may be personal to my Apple-ID but it's worth a try: >>
<https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/macos-mojave/id1398502828?ls=1&mt=12>

This link worked for me just now, though I did not actually download it
as I already have an installer DMG of Mojave archived.

You can download full installers using the softwareupdate utility on the >> command line, at least in theory. I have not gotten it to work but I am
on the Big Sur Beta.

softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.15.7
softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.14.6
softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.13.6
softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.12.6

Didn't work for me on 10.13.6:

$ softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.14.6

softwareupdate: unrecognized option `--fetch-full-installer' softwareupdate: unrecognized option `--full-installer-version'
usage: softwareupdate <cmd> [<args> ...]

Time to upgrade.

Darn. It also didn't work in Mojave v10.14.6. That's a neat command. Thanks. :) --

If it doesn't work for you, try pruning the link.

"Item Not Available -- The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store." :(

Worked for me just now, at least it showed a "Get" button. Did you ever
have Mojave previously on your Apple ID?

The issue happens *after* clicking the Get button.

I was able to get up to the "Are you sure you want to download this old version? ( cancel ) [ DOWNLOAD ]" (or words along those lines, I didn’t
note the exact wording).

I did not download it.

"Item Not Available -- The item you've requested is not currently available
in the U.S. store." :(

It works in Polish App Store, no matter if I put "gb" or "us" in the link. >>> It
looks like you need to find a trusted person outside US to download it for >>> you, or wait and hope it's just a glitch.

Works just fine in the US, even with the /gb/ in the link.

Not for me. https://apps.apple.com/app/macos-mojave/id1398502828?ls=1&mt=12 says "Item not available"

First, I said "even WITH the /gb/" and second, the link you posted also
works just fine. It's the middle of the night an no one is awake, so I
even went ahead and downloaded it. No issue.

I was pointed at this script:

so I duly ran it and it appears to download your choice of macOS. I asked for Catalina.latest and now I have an installer which claims it will do that. Haven't tried it yet.

I found it on my desktop, where I ran the script from. But I had named the script downloader.py rather than whatever its actual name is supposed to be,
as I'd copy/pasted the script into BBEdit. Perhaps that makes a difference.

That's a good script, although I do not like that it creates the
application in the /Applications folder instead of the folder it is run
from.

I found it on my desktop, where I ran the script from. But I had named the script downloader.py rather than whatever its actual name is supposed to be, as I'd copy/pasted the script into BBEdit. Perhaps that makes a difference.

Nah. It downloads to the current working directory - not the
Applications folder.

so I duly ran it and it appears to download your choice of macOS. I asked for
Catalina.latest and now I have an installer which claims it will do that.
Haven't tried it yet.

Nice find! No Sierra and older mac OSes that I saw in the 2012 13.3"
MBP's updated mac OS Mojave v10.14.6. I tried to run this script in my
old, updated Debian Jessie v8 PC, but it failed:

Of course it failed. Where did you get the idea this would work on some
Linux system?

I guess it requires a mac OS to run it. :(

Of course it does.

Nah. It downloads to the current working directory - not the
Applications folder.

It downloads the parts to the current folder and assembles the Install
app in /Applications.

Of course it does.

I was hoping it didn't need a mac OS to use this script.
