Howdy,I had tried this on 6 different computers, an iMac Pro running High Sierra (where I first discovered this via a remote session into a client's iMac Pro that needed to upgrade it's macOS), then, to confirm, I tested the same link on all 3 major browsers used by most on macOS (Safari, FireFox, Google Chrome), then reproduced it on my own MBP running Mojave, on my own 2nd MBP running Catalina, and then just to confirm, also on 3 other computers, a remote iMac running El Capitan, and another in another location, on High Sierra, and another, in another unique location, running Sierra on a Mac mini, so, in total, on 6 computers, across 5 locations (I use TeamViewer to access and administer about 200+ computers), using at least 3 different ISPs. I've opened a case with Apple support, they reproduced the problems, and they've supposedly escalated this, however, now 4 hours later, it's still not working. Which, instead of redirecting, launching the Apple App store, and going directly to the desired macOS downloadable installer, simple show a blank safari page, and doesn't even launch the App store app at all. These links, only open a blank page such as : macOS High Sierra 10.13 can upgrade Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion.macOS Mojave 10.14 can upgrade High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion.macOS Catalina 10.15 can upgrade Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks.macOS Big Sur 11 can upgrade Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks.After you download the installer from the App Store, the installer opens automatically. Safari uses these links to find the old installers in the App Store. Instead, they fail, only showing a blank web page, and do not even launch the Apple App Store. On that page, there are the following links, that _should_ redirect, and launch the Apple App Store, showing the version of macOS you've selected to then be downloaded. And it's true for both of my Macs running OS 10.14.6.Apple's own links to download macOS from Big Sur down to High Sierra, all fail.Īpple's official page with links to download macOS, from Big Sur, down to High Sierra, all fail to work. I still don't understand, though, why I cannot get this installer file directly from the App Store, like I've ALWAYS been able to do. I'm hoping that works (I expect it to).Īppreciate your assistance. I'm going to do a fresh, clean installation of OS 10.15.1, using that installer file, onto my external Samsung 860 EVO 500 gig SSD, and then will migrate/copy needed files, folders, settings, etc. In this case, it was in my downloads folder.

I guess the only other 'surprise' is that previously, whenever one downloaded the full OS version, that installation file would wind up inside the Applications folder. It downloaded Catalina V10.15.1.03, which is (I'm assuming) the most recent, stable, non-beta version. Given that it was a 'patcher', I was definitely reluctant to double click on the resulting file.

Initially, after downloading the 'patcher', there were no instructions on what to do next. I'll see what it says.Ĭlick to expand.OK, that was helpful. I can try it with my external SSD which I have OS 10.15.1 installed on.
