OS X Mavericks - Download?

[BestPCBuilder2017]

So... OS X Mavericks isn't available on the app store anymore, and I can't seem to find a reliable place of getting/downloading it. Any idea where I can go to get it (a place that's reliable and trustworthy)? 

[DrMacintosh]

shes not on the store anymore? (its there for me, under prucahsed) 

 

What Mac do you have btw? Her recovery partition might be Mavericks. 

 

(btw why do you need Mavericks)

It's not on the recovery partition, it came with Yosemite.

I can download as far back as Mountain Lion in the purchased tab.

all i can find is patched to Mavericks on Apple Website.

 

what happens when you try to download those? I would imagine it would want to get the rest of the OS.

 

You could contact Apple directly. 

 

Also why do you need Mavericks again? Its rater old and has some big security holes.

Yeah, they said they won't give it to me and basically told me to fuck off.

Welp then there is nothing you can do really. Your best bet is to try and find an installer somewhere else. Mavericks is no longer supported, you cant get mad at them for not having it. It would be like getting mad at them for not having Snow Leopard on hand.

Probably shouldn't have told them that your intention is to violate the terms.

 

You only get access to those versions of macOS you download while they're available. Once a new version is out, the old ones are only available to those who already downloaded them at some point.

 

Your best bet is to find someone who can download the installer for you.

Fun fact: They still have Snow Leopard in stock.

I can do this, but can you just share the installer file?

It's not legal, but otherwise nothing keeps you from doing whatever you want with the file. They don't come tailored to the specific system they were downloaded on.

ahh, maybe I could resort to a cheap game on Steam as payment?

What about what I've stated in any way shape or form would give the intention that I would intend on violating the terms?

Is there a way to upgrade from Mountain Lion to Mavericks? Obviously without just simply running the install OS X Mavericks application, which I don't have. Like, an option in the Mountain Lion OS itself?

I'm pretty sure MacOS will want to dump you into the latest version. Its possible though. (I have never needed to do these things with a Mac before so this is all strange to me lol)

I checked to make sure, and it looks like virtualization is actually allowed, as long as it's done on top of a Mac. So I jumped the gun, my apologies (source).

[DrMacintosh]

I can get you that installer in exchange for Bastion on Steam ($2.99 atm)

meaning if the computer detected an update it would go to the latest version available, not allow you to choose to update to a certain point and stop.

How would you make the download available though?

I would just download it on my machine and upload it to drive and give you the link or something.
