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

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:

Jump (ethn125) Mac Os Catalina

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.

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.4 - 10.8 (free version)

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.9 (free version)

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.10 - 10.14 (free version)

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.

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.

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.

Instruction to downgrade from macOS Catalina

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.

Jump Desktop 8.2.21 for macOS

This update adds full Wake-On-LAN capability for automatic connections. Click here to read more: Jump Desktop Wake On Lan Support.

We've also addressed a graphical issue on Mojave 10.14.5 and fixed synchronizing the NumLock key for RDP users.

Here's what was new in 8.2.14 for macOS:

Dynamic Resolution Matching for Fluid

This is a powerful productivity feature that will make your remote desktop experience much better: Jump can resize the display on the remote machine to match your local display. This feature makes it much easier to remote control machines which have a larger display than your Mac (or vice versa). Seeing is believing:

Tip: To manage your resolution settings: Right-click your connection icon and then click Edit -> Display. You can also change settings live by clicking Remote -> Displays. Dynamic resolution switching is turned off by default for existing connections but turned on for new Fluid connections.

Known limitations: Jump will do it's best to match your local display however it's limited by the capabilities of the remote machine's graphics adapter.

Wake-On-Lan for automatic connections

Jump will now try to wake up the computer if it’s offline before connecting.

Performance

This release changes the way Jump Desktop draws the remote screen. On Mojave and later, Jump will use macOS's Metal renderer to draw the remote screen. This results in better visual quality, lower latency, higher performance and better battery life. Pure goodness.

We've also partially off-loaded Fluid protocol decoding to hardware (Up to 20% better performance).

Other notable changes:

Horizontal scrolling support for Fluid and RDP connections.
Better keyboard compatibility with 3D games and apps.
We've increased the icon preview size by 25%. Bigger previews for your connections.
Show the total computer count in the sidebar. The count appears besides the 'Computers' row.
Show unique machine id and OS version in 'About' section of connection (Automatic connections only).
Faster reconnect when waking up from sleep.
Synchronize connection names even after the initial discovery of the computer: You can now change your computer’s name in ‘Jump Desktop Connect’ on the remote computer and it will synchronize the change on all clients. In earlier versions of Jump, name changes for automatic connections were not synchronized after initial discovery.
Jump shows a warning/confirmation prompt before connecting if two machines have the same name.
RD Gateway settings are not persisted when importing RDP files.
Improve performance when adding/removing 100s of computers
Tons of stability fixes.

And here's what was new in earlier releases....

Jump Desktop 8.0 for macOS

8.0 brings remote support features, collaborative screen sharing, password-less logins and tons of bug fixes!

Requirement

Screen Sharing features require the free Jump Desktop Connect app to be installed on the remote computer. Jump Desktop Connect is a free app that anyone can install by visiting https://jumpdesktop.com/go. Also, we've updated Jump Desktop Connect to 6.0. Connect 6.0 has tons of new features too. Read the announcement here: Jump Desktop Connect 6.0 Announcement.

Collaborative Screen Sharing

Collaborative Screen Sharing lets many users connect to the same desktop. Each user gets their own mouse cursor and can point and click without fighting over the same cursor. Great for editing documents with coworkers, tweaking designs with remote team members, creating presentations together, and teaching Grandma how to clean out her email.

Ask To Share Screen

We've added a new Ask To Share Screen button for unobtrusive remote support. When connecting to computers over Fluid Remote Desktop, client Ask To Share Screen when prompted for credentials or right click a Fluid connection and then click Ask to Share Screen.

Jump Desktop then will ask the person on the remote computer if they want to start sharing their desktop with you:

You'll be able to see their screen when they click Accept. No need to share passwords anymore!

Secure Screen Sharing Links

Anyone can share their screen by sending you a link. You don't need to be an authorized remote access user on their machine or know their password to connect. All they need to do is install Jump Desktop Connect from https://jumpdesktop.com/go, click Copy Link and message you the link. They can even read out the link over the phone (it's designed to be human readable). It's very simple, very quick and very powerful. Here's what it looks like:

iCloud

We've ironed out iCloud syncing problems in this release made the overall syncing process smoother. You can now access your iCloud servers by opening up: Finder → iCloud Drive → Jump Desktop → Servers.

We've also added iCloud support to the non-App Store edition of Jump! This makes the App Store and non-App Store version of Jump virtually identical.

Here's what was new in 7.1:

Copy paste files and folders for RDP connections

You can now copy and paste files to and from the remote computer. Simply copy a file or folder in Finder and then paste it on the remote computer. This feature makes it much easier to share files without setting up folder redirection. This feature is RDP only for now, but we'll be adding this to Fluid connections in a future update.

Default printers for RDP connections

You can now choose whether or not the default printer is overridden in the remote session and which local printer it defaults to. Setup default printer settings by right clicking your computer's icon and click Edit → Sharing

New icons

We've added more connection icons to choose from. To customize your connection's icon right click your connection and then click Edit. Then click the icon on the top left corner.

Here's what was new in 7.0

Tabs

On macOS Sierra and later you can now open connections inside tabs. To start using this feature right click a connection and select Connect in New Tab .

You can also select multiple computers and open them up inside a new tabbed window. Try this if you have tags: Right click a tag on the sidebar and then click Connect In New Tabbed Window.

Cycle through tabs using the new Control + Tab shortcut.

You can also configure how Jump opens new tabs for connections: Click Jump Desktop → Preferences → Prefer Tabs for connections.

RDP

Jump now has the ability to dynamically adjust the remote resolution when connecting to Windows 8+ or Windows Server 2012 R2+. It means you no longer have to deal with black bars or reconnect when you resize the connection window. Jump will automatically adjust the remote resolution when your window size changes. To use this feature, make sure you are connecting to Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 R2 or later. Then right click your connection's icon and in Display settings make sure it is set to Match Display

We've also redesigned the Display settings panel for RDP connections. Here's what it looks like:

The new Desktop Scale option gives you the ability to fine tune the text size on the remote display. You can even change this setting dynamically while connected to the remote computer: Click Remote → Displays

Keyboard

We've re-written Jump's keyboard mapping feature. It's more reliable and has gained a few new features:

You can now completely remap modifier keys. For example you can add a single mapping that remaps the Cmd key to Ctrl on Windows (you can do this with any modifier).

You can also remap persistent key strokes - for example, you can remap Alt + Tab to Cmd + Tab if you're connecting to a Mac.

This release also works better with international keyboards.

Fluid

Performance and stability improvements for Fluid based connections.
