  1. Oct 09, 2018. Using my old (and currently active) system 10.10.5 on my late 2009 iMac, I copied the 2 Yosemite installer dmg files (OS X Yosemite MAS.dmg - 5.19GB) and the updater file (osxupd10.10.5 - 1.02GB) from an external (to old iMac) HD onto another 32GB external mini HD.
  2. Sep 03, 2017  If you never deliberately downloaded Yosemite when it was available from the Mac App Store, and before El Capitan was released, then you are out of luck, as it is no longer available. Had you downloaded it during its availability, then you can sign into the Mac App Store, press the option key, and click the Purchased tab.
  3. OS X 10.10, aka Yosemite, sports a more modern look and bridges the gap between Apple's desktop and mobile devices. The new Continuity helps you hand off tasks from iPhone to iPad to Mac, but that.
  4. Jul 24, 2014  In line with yesterday's announcement, Apple today made available a pre-release version of OS X Yosemite to consumers who signed up for the company's OS.
  5. Jul 11, 2015  A lot of you have asked for this one. Sorry it's taken so long to upload. This is the ultimate guide (in my opinion) on how to install Yosemite on an unsupported Mac. In the video, I use a MacBook.

Dec 09, 2014  - INSTALANDO YOSEMITE EM UM MAC MINI ANTIGO (2007) Second video: h. Mac mini (Mid 2007) Mac Pro (original 2006 model, including any bought in 2007) Xserve (Late 2006 or Early 2008) If Lion is the newest version of OS X that will run on your Mac, but you never purchased it while it was available in the Mac App Store, you won’t be able to find it for sale there anymore.

In the early years of OS X, the Mac operating system was sold on a DVD. If a user forgot the administrator password, perhaps the simplest way (of several) would be to use that disc to set a new administrator password and regain control of the Mac. Nowadays, there is no install disc provided with OS X, and so an alternative method is necessary.

___________________

To be clear, there are several technical ways to reset the administrator password on a Mac. Some of them are rather Unix-geeky and can make a novice user nervous. For the sake of completeness, I'll reference those methods at the end of this article. For now, we'll start with the easy ones.

I. Use Your Apple ID

When you first set up your Mac or upgraded the OS, The Setup Assistant will ask if you want to allow your Apple ID to reset the user (admin) password. If you did that, the box in System Preferences > Users & Groups was set. See below.

System Preferences > Users & Groups

Now, assuming you've forgotten your password, according to Apple..

If you incorrectly enter your account password at the login window three times, a message appears stating 'If you forgot your password, you can reset it using your Apple ID'. Click the arrow-in-a-circle icon to bring up the 'Reset Password' dialog. Enter your Apple ID and password, then click 'Reset Password' to proceed.

However, if you deselected that box, and later forgot your password, you're out of luck. One reason to deselect the box is extreme security. If, heaven forbid, Apple's system is hacked, your admin password could be compromised. On to the next technique.

II. Use Another Administrator Account

One administrator has the power to reset the password of another administrator. If you've previously set up your Mac with two administrator accounts, highly recommended, you can use the second admin account to login in and reset the password for the first administrator whose password has been forgotten. If you can't do that, on to the next technique.

III. Recovery Partition

If the techniques above aren't available, a very neat, simple way to reset the administrator password is to make use of the OS X Recovery Partition. This is a hidden partition on your boot drive introduced with OS X 10.7 Lion, so the technique I'll describe works with OS X 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion, OS X 10.9 Mavericks and OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

(The older method, mentioned in the introduction above, uses the install disc for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and previous. It's discussed in this Apple support article # PH6317. It's no longer being updated by Apple, but if you're still using Snow Leopard or older, it still works.)

As a reminder, the person who first installed OS X on a Mac (or set it up out of the box) is the administrator. In this scenario, it's assumed that the administrator is you, and you know your account name but forgot the password.

Procedure

1. Restart the Mac.

If it's locked up,see:'Frozen: How to Force the Restart of a Mac.'

2. Right after you hear the chime, press and hold the Command and the R keys for a few seconds, then release. Soon, you'll see the Apple logo and spinning gear (or progress bar in Yosemite).

This will force the Mac to boot into OS X on the Recovery Partition that was created when you installed OS X 10.7 or later.

3. When booting is complete, you'll see a window of 'OS X Utilities.' You won't do anything there. Instead, you'll go to the Menu bar at the top and select Utilities > Terminal.

Don't worry. You won't have to do anything exotic on the Unix command line.

These chats are end-to-end encrypted for maximum security. Note that you'll need to start a new conversation with someone to encrypt it, rather than encrypting your current conversation. You can call landlines and mobile phones in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam, Canada, China, Hong Kong SAR, Singapore, and Thailand. Skype for business macos dark mode.

4. In the terminal window type the following and hit Return.

5. A new window will open, like this:

What you'll see after you enter 'resetpassword'

Click on the 1) volume of interest, 2) select the desired user account name in the popup. Then enter the new password (twice). A password hint is optional. Click 'Save.'

6. Go back to the Apple Menu at the top. Select OS X Utilities > Quit OS X Utilities. That will prompt you to restart the Mac.

If all went well, when the Mac restarts normally, you'll be able to log in to the administrator account with the new password you defined in step #5 above. From there you can manage the rest of of the users if necessary with System Preferences > Users & Groups.

IV. Keychain Reset

The OS X Keychain is where all your passwords are kept securely. If you forget your password, you no longer have access to that Keychain. As a result, when you log back in, you'll be asked to reset your Keychain. A new one will be created and unlocked with your new password. Because of that, you'll find yourself re-entering all the passwords that were stored in your old, now inaccessible Keychain. See Apple support article # PH18681.

VI. References

For the more experienced user who may want to explore and learn, there is much more material available on resetting OS X passwords. Some of these other techniques are not as simple and should be practiced on a non-mission critical Mac, being mindful of their context and applicability.

Finally, if you run into a problem and can't navigate your way out, one thing to try is to contact an Apple retail store nearby. Make an appointment with an Apple Genius, and you'll get the help you need.
