So, you've decided to download an older version of Mac OS X. There are many reasons that could point you to this radical decision. To begin with, some of your apps may not be working properly (or simply crash) on newer operating systems. Also, you may have noticed your Mac's performance went down right after the last update. Finally, if you want to run a parallel copy of Mac OS X on a virtual machine, you too will need a working installation file of an older Mac OS X. Further down we'll explain where to get one and what problems you may face down the road.

A list of all Mac OS X versions
Mac OS Extended (Journaled) does not work natively with Windows. If you need to go between macOS and Windows then format your drive ExFAT on macOS IMPORTANT: Reformatting the drive will erase all data on the drive, so you should copy any data you want off the drive prior to formatting.
We'll be repeatedly referring to these Apple OS versions below, so it's good to know the basic macOS timeline.
Cheetah 10.0 | Puma 10.1 | Jaguar 10.2 |
Panther 10.3 | Tiger 10.4 | Leopard 10.5 |
Snow Leopard 10.6 | Lion 10.7 | Mountain Lion 10.8 |
Mavericks 10.9 | Yosemite 10.10 | El Capitan 10.11 |
Sierra 10.12 | High Sierra 10.13 | Mojave 10.14 |
Catalina 10.15 |
STEP 1. Prepare your Mac for installation
Given your Mac isn't new and is filled with data, you will probably need enough free space on your Mac. This includes not just space for the OS itself but also space for other applications and your user data. One more argument is that the free space on your disk translates into virtual memory so your apps have 'fuel' to operate on. The chart below tells you how much free space is needed.
Note, that it is recommended that you install OS on a clean drive. Next, you will need enough disk space available, for example, to create Recovery Partition. Here are some ideas to free up space on your drive:
- Uninstall large unused apps
- Empty Trash Bin and Downloads
- Locate the biggest files on your computer:
Go to Finder > All My Files > Arrange by size
Then you can move your space hoggers onto an external drive or a cloud storage.
If you aren't comfortable with cleaning the Mac manually, there are some nice automatic 'room cleaners'. Our favorite is CleanMyMac as it's most simple to use of all. It deletes system junk, old broken apps, and the rest of hidden junk on your drive.

STEP 2. Get a copy of Mac OS X download
Normally, it is assumed that updating OS is a one-way road. That's why going back to a past Apple OS version is problematic. The main challenge is to download the OS installation file itself, because your Mac may already be running a newer version. If you succeed in downloading the OS installation, your next step is to create a bootable USB or DVD and then reinstall the OS on your computer.
How to download older Mac OS X versions via the App Store
If you once had purchased an old version of Mac OS X from the App Store, open it and go to the Purchased tab. There you'll find all the installers you can download. However, it doesn't always work that way. The purchased section lists only those operating systems that you had downloaded in the past. But here is the path to check it:
- Click the App Store icon.
- Click Purchases in the top menu.
- Scroll down to find the preferred OS X version.
- Click Download.
This method allows you to download Mavericks and Yosemite by logging with your Apple ID — only if you previously downloaded them from the Mac App Store.
Without App Store: Download Mac OS version as Apple Developer
If you are signed with an Apple Developer account, you can get access to products that are no longer listed on the App Store. If you desperately need a lower OS X version build, consider creating a new Developer account among other options. The membership cost is $99/year and provides a bunch of perks unavailable to ordinary users.
Nevertheless, keep in mind that if you visit developer.apple.com/downloads, you can only find 10.3-10.6 OS X operating systems there. Newer versions are not available because starting Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.7, the App Store has become the only source of updating Apple OS versions.
Purchase an older version of Mac operating system
You can purchase a boxed or email version of past Mac OS X directly from Apple. Both will cost you around $20. For the reason of being rather antiquated, Snow Leopard and earlier Apple versions can only be installed from DVD.
Buy a boxed edition of Snow Leopard 10.6
Get an email copy of Lion 10.7
Get an email copy of Mountain Lion 10.8
The email edition comes with a special download code you can use for the Mac App Store. Note, that to install the Lion or Mountain Lion, your Mac needs to be running Snow Leopard so you can install the newer OS on top of it.
How to get macOS El Capitan download
If you are wondering if you can run El Capitan on an older Mac, rejoice as it's possible too. But before your Mac can run El Capitan it has to be updated to OS X 10.6.8. So, here are main steps you should take:
1. Install Snow Leopard from install DVD.
2. Update to 10.6.8 using Software Update.
3. Download El Capitan here.
'I can't download an old version of Mac OS X'
If you have a newer Mac, there is no physical option to install Mac OS versions older than your current Mac model. For instance, if your MacBook was released in 2014, don't expect it to run any OS released prior of that time, because older Apple OS versions simply do not include hardware drivers for your Mac.
Citizenship Mac Os Catalina
But as it often happens, workarounds are possible. There is still a chance to download the installation file if you have an access to a Mac (or virtual machine) running that operating system. For example, to get an installer for Lion, you may ask a friend who has Lion-operated Mac or, once again, set up a virtual machine running Lion. Then you will need to prepare an external drive to download the installation file using OS X Utilities.
After you've completed the download, the installer should launch automatically, but you can click Cancel and copy the file you need. Below is the detailed instruction how to do it.
STEP 3. Install older OS X onto an external drive
The following method allows you to download Mac OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks. https://downloadvis.mystrikingly.com/blog/tap-mac-os.
- Start your Mac holding down Command + R.
- Prepare a clean external drive (at least 10 GB of storage).
- Within OS X Utilities, choose Reinstall OS X.
- Select external drive as a source.
- Enter your Apple ID.
Now the OS should start downloading automatically onto the external drive. After the download is complete, your Mac will prompt you to do a restart, but at this point, you should completely shut it down. Now that the installation file is 'captured' onto your external drive, you can reinstall the OS, this time running the file on your Mac.
- Boot your Mac from your standard drive.
- Connect the external drive.
- Go to external drive > OS X Install Data.
Locate InstallESD.dmg disk image file — this is the file you need to reinstall Lion OS X. The same steps are valid for Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
How to downgrade a Mac running later macOS versions

If your Mac runs macOS Sierra 10.12 or macOS High Sierra 10.13, it is possible to revert it to the previous system if you are not satisfied with the experience. You can do it either with Time Machine or by creating a bootable USB or external drive.

Before you do it, the best advice is to back your Mac up so your most important files stay intact. In addition to that, it makes sense to clean up your Mac from old system junk files and application leftovers. The easiest way to do it is to run CleanMyMac X on your machine (download it for free here).
Visit your local Apple Store to download older OS X version
If none of the options to get older OS X worked, pay a visit to nearest local Apple Store. They should have image installations going back to OS Leopard and earlier. You can also ask their assistance to create a bootable USB drive with the installation file. So here you are. We hope this article has helped you to download an old version of Mac OS X. Below are a few more links you may find interesting.
You are socially bankrupt. Your citizen credit balance has hit 0, and all you have left is your GMCC 867K Cybernet-enabled Terminal and your skills in hacking. The accounts of those good citizens - never speaking up and never complaining - sit open and ready for the taking. You plan to climb your way back up the social ladder, through any means necessary.
Citizenship++ is an incremental hacking/puzzle game in which you hack the citizen credit accounts of anonymous people in a tightly-controlled surveillence state. Initially only armed with a blank terminal you will unlock increasingly advanced features, all the way up to a scripting engine that will allow you to automate the hacking of accounts.
Citizenship++ was developed in 72 hours for the Ludum Dare 41, with the theme 'Combine 2 incompatible genres'. We decided to combine a hacking game (like Hacknet or similar) with an incremental game. Are they really incompatible? Yes. Don't question it citizen. Minus 10 credits.

the game is pretty nice, but its sissing like a command like save and import where you could save your progress in a text file and when you open the app back up you can just go import DATE and you have it back. because rn i would need to run that thing 24/7 to get to the 1 mil thing in the shop.
In Debian 10 Buster, when I run this game it seems to be receiving my backspace/enter keypresses twice.
Tried it on Ubuntu 18.10, didn't work because it couldn't preload ScreenSelector.so. Anyone have a fix for this?
wow this is a really cool game! i loved being able to create the scripting. very cool idea!
Hi, we don't have much complex syntax in the game if that's what your asking about. You can only type single commands at once, so no pipes, variables etc.
I got permanently blocked from the Echo locks I tried restarting and redownloading the game but I im still block once I made it back to them is there any way I can get unblocked
The game doesn't save anything, so it shouldn't be possible for you to get locked out like that. How does this issue present itself? Does it always say the 'Echo is infintely secure' message? I'm not entierly sure what you mean since echo locks don't lock you out after a set number of attempts.
I had the same thing happen to me, no matter what I put in, it doesn't unlock. Gravity dash mac os.
I created a script for it too, but it still didn't work. i put unlock 1 1, 1 2, 1 3, 1 5, 1 8, 1 13, 1 21, 1 34, 1 55, 1 89 for all of the numbers 1-9 but it still didn't work.
Edit: noticed that it included 0, added it to script, tried it, didnt work
Edit 2: Manually unlocked echo lock, password was 5 13, had unlock 5 13 in the script. Dont trust the maze mac os. WTF

No, it was something we did consider but didn't really have the time. Our thinking was that people wouldn't play it for very long since it was a game jam, so we decided to put more effort into polish and other features. If there's enough demand I suppose I could add a save feature in an update.
please make a save feature the game is nice i want to play it very long :)
This is a really fun game! I enjoy programming games like this, and this is probably one of my favorites!
quite annoying how the most common lock is always the one above what you have.
That was an interesting experience, I really loved the script editor. :) I'm always a huge fan of programming games, and I think it's quite an achievement when you are succeeding in building one of these in the short time of a jam! <3 Started a bit slow, but when one overcomes the Alpha phase, it gets much faster. Been a bit perplexed about the Echo lock though, but eh, it doesn't discount the value of your work. :) Well done! I recommended your game in one of our compilation articles about the Ludum Dare 41 as well as it's featured in the related video. :) Keep up the good work!
Best wishes,
Sebastian
