Mac Os For Old Mac



OldVersion.com provides free. software downloads for old versions of programs, drivers and games. So why not downgrade to the version you love? Because newer is not always bett. You must be at least 18 years old to be eligible to trade in for credit or for an Apple Store Gift Card. Not all devices are eligible for credit. More details are available from Apple’s Mac trade‑in partner and Apple’s iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch trade‑in partner for trade-in and recycling of eligible devices.

I’ve posted a few old links in my time (as I near 4,000 posts it would be hard not to have some that are broken). But Apple App Store downloads seem to do better with not breaking links. So here are some to old versions of macOS and OS X, in case like me, you always seem to need some old thing for testing:
