anything will do, as you can still get the combo updater to 10.10.5 If it's not in your purchase history, then you'll have to get it from a trustworthy friend ġ0.10. The only way to get an older OS directly from Apple is to have previously 'purchased it' - even if it was free - then it will appear in your purchase history in the App Store.
HOW TO UPDATE YOUR MAC FROM 10.9.5 MAC OS
I see this OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 Update as well as this OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 Combo Update is available for download, but would any/either of those be useful to someone like me running macOS 10.9.5 in any way? I assume those updates are only useful for someone already running 10.10 already, correct?Īs soon as a new Mac OS is released, the previous one becomes unavailable. Is my only option at this point to download a macOS 10.10.5 installer from some non-Apple website somewhere or does Apple have any accommodations to allow end-users to download macOS 10.10.5 from them in some way? I would like to avoid macOS 10.11 (El Capitan) for a while if possible. The logic is, I assume that macOS 10.10.5 is more stable that macOS 10.10 when it was first released, so I would like to put a 10.10.5 upgrade on my plate of options if/when I have the time and patience to deal with. Now that macOS 10.11 (El Capitan) has been released, what can I do to upgrade to macOS 10.10.5 if/when I wish to? When I am in the Apple app store the only option I see macOS 10.11 as an upgrade option screenshot below. Never “purchased” or even attempted to download it via the Apple app store. I avoided upgrading to macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) when it was first released because of all of the stability issues surrounding it and have stuck to macOS 10.9.5. I am using a Mac Mini (Late 2012) that is running macOS 10.9.5 (Mavericks).
