About This File

A tool that searches Appstore for missing macOSes.

Every year when a new macOS is released, the older ones get missing in Appstore. Making the Appstore's search button completely useless!

For example, if you are searching for Sierra or El Capitan now, you may NEVER find it anymore using the search button.

As a result, this tool was developed to resolve that issue. Here's an app that communicates with Appstore and allows you to download your desired vanilla macOS (even the older ones).

 


Have a great day and enjoy the tool. :thumbsup_anim:

Hi @luky35 ,

Thanks for testing it in Mojave. I will look into this if the problem still persists after Mojave has been released officially.

Can you please have a switch to toggle the dreadful thunder/rain noise off, Playing music thru iTunes no good when run app

I got around it by renaming rain.mp3 to rain1.mp3

Otherwise good app, well done.

 

Hi there @STLVNUB,

 

I think it is a good idea. I'll work on this right away. Thanks :)

Just re-uploaded a new version. The new version comes with mute/play button as requested. 

Thanks for the suggestion @STLVNUB. :)

Hi luky35,

 

I guess this was just a Mojave beta bug. El Capitan is detected in Appstore now (DP 10).

Download of older OS is not possible...Keeps telling me that macOS Sierra is not available

If you get this error, then I'm afraid that Apple has temporarily removed the image from their server. This could be a temporary issue. Since, the image is downloaded directly from Applestore, I have no control on this. Like you, I wish Apple will add the image back ASAP.

Yes, Mavericks is no longer available in Appstore. Otherwise, I'd have added it into the list. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. :thumbsup_anim:

Awesome App! I can't get it to Run on my real Yosemite OS Mac Tower.  Ran from my laptop on El Capitan though

 

Sorry, Yosemite support has been depreciated.
