"Sounds like you're wanting to run Mac OS on a windows computer and not Mac hardware - we don't support that". No, I'm talking about running Mac OS on the Mac that I purchased it on. When I mentioned wanting to run on Parallels (she didn't react 45 minutes early - thinking she doesn't know what Parallels is) the first response was "we don't support Microsoft windows.
#Install wget mac os x 10.8 software#
you're either apple software or the enemy. they will only provide it if they do the wipe and restore for me.Īnother very odd thing about the supervisor was her attitude or wildly off base perceptions of the world of software.
finally we did the reboot holding Command-Options-R and after waiting 15 minutes it told us convincingly that the original OS was Mountain Lion (10.8).īut they will not let me have the OS. The difference is that I'd like to run it under Parallel's so I don't have to lose my entire other setups.įirst they spent half an hour trying to prove to me that I never had 10.8 because the App Store didn't have record of the original OS. I have a license for the OS 10.8 and the license is good to run on this specific hardware Mac Mini. all wanting me to wipe out my compute complete to downgrade the OS.

So, I called today with the serial number and ultimately 45 minutes with a supervisor. Supply the Serial number so that they can verify that it came with v10.8 and they'll give me a free download. (i was not in front of my mac at that moment)
Spent about 2 hours on the phone and it came down to this. When calling a local apple store they connected me with an expert across the country.

Just wanting the install image so I can run the original OS within Parallels. I don't want to throw away my entire current system. which is an external disk requiring software from the OS to run - so i'm not sure how that could work.Ī bit confused on these later parts. If not the next step is somehow disabling the internal drive in order to save to a disc. So it sounds like I have to find an old Apple keyboard with usb plug and reboot into Internet Recovery by holding down Command+Option+R at startup. This version IS in the Apple Store Purchases The original OS 10.8 does not show up anywhere, but was the base OS when purchased on 12/19/13.ġ0.8.5 shows up in the system log of softwareīut it's not in the Apple Store list of Purchases Is there a way to download without having to pay again? Original OS discs were no longer being offered when I bought my Mac mini as all of the OSs were at that time announced to be free.
#Install wget mac os x 10.8 upgrade#
Had the Apple care agent not misguided me in the setup I'd still have it.īut all that the Apple Store has records is of the free upgrade to 10.8.5 (which is the version I want but requires the core 10.8 to get there and wants me to buy it again). Second or first, I already paid for this version when I bought the computer. But I have to buy it again?įirst, I thought all Mac OS were now free? Now I purchased Parallels and would like to install my original OS. I needed to be able to run Protools 10 which is not supported on 10.9 and later. In later upgrading to 10.9 I worked with an Apple Care support agent to setup a means to keep this original OS but the process did not work. I would like to have access to this version again. My Mac mini came with Mac OS 10.8 which I immediately upgraded to 10.8.5. Wget needs to have some type of SSL support GNUTLS is most probably not available on your OS X system – if so use OpenSSL in the configure as an alternative use so re-run the configure with an SSL flag.

Get the latest wget source code from the ftp repository, or using curl from the command line: cd ~/Downloads curl -O Įxtract it and move into it tar -zxvf wget-1.14.tar.gz cd wget-1.14/Īn error may occur on SSL… configure: error: -with-ssl was given, but GNUTLS is not available. Go to Xcode, Preferences then the Locations and select the 5.0.1 ‘Command Line Tools’ Next you need to install the Xcode command line tools, easiest way to do so by running in the Terminal: xcode-select -install Get the latest Xcode (5.0.1) from the Apple app store, free download version, then install and launch it. This process also works exactly the same in OSX 10.8 and OSX 10.7. To actually compile the code you need a compiler, unfortunately it doesn’t come with OS X by default you need to install the free xcode suite from Apple which includes the GCC compiler. To add and install wget to your system you need to download the source files, compile the code and make an install. Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks comes with the command line utility called ‘ curl‘ which is a network transfer tool, it does not come with the popular ‘ wget‘, in fact ‘ curl‘ can probably get you by just fine, check man curl at the command line to see its usage.
