Sierra For Pc Mac Plugged Into

Keep your Mac plugged into a power source while you are doing this.

Since it has been a few days, hopefully you have this sorted and progressed through the incremental upgrades to a functional macOS Sierra system.

I have been sufficiently fortunate that I have not needed to perform an Internet Recovery, but if it is not showing any progress after a reasonable amount of time, that would be cause for concern.

You will know youre connected when it finally changes to the Utilities window.

Yosemite is not showing the window for 2FA code, so I am not able to download Sierra from AppStore.

Apple in all their wisdom deletes the Sierra download if the OS is already at Sierra.

Thanks Apple, Brilliant) When I go into App Store Purchases.

Sierra is not listed, so I cant download the Installer DMG from Apple.

So the only option left is to find a file repository on the internet where I can download the Sierra Installer image.

Is this a plot to get me to throw away my MacBook and buy a new one disgusted in Crestone AC.

I have a 2008 MacBook on Mavericks having missed my opportunity for Yosemite and it works wonderfully well.

Not only is the app store the only place where one can obtain OS and apps legally, anything sold elsewhere online is considered a bootlegged copy and may contain additional hidden software (malwareadware).

As well, any download is tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it, so you may run into unexpected problems trying to updatereinstall.

All I want to do is upgrade from Yosemite to Sierra--but Sierra is gone So there are millions of computers out here that cant be upgraded to the highest OS they can run Is that really possible.

I have High Sierra working fine on a hard drive in a MacPro 2010.

The only difference is that your drive will not be converted to APFS; itll remain HFS.

Thats all. Macs with regular spinning drives andor fusion drives will not be converted to APFS; Macs with SSDs will.

As for Sierra: Apples policy of withdrawing the older OS when a new one is rolled out has been in force for several years.

There has been a simple solution for years as well: Just download the installer and copy it to a safe place for future use.

I have installers of every OS since Lion, safely parked on an external drive.
