If you are using “latest stable release” and you find a bug, then you aren’t reading this page very carefully. You shouldn’t be using “latest stable release”. Note for Windows users: DeSmuME depends on the Microsoft UCRT DLLs. To use your Mac OS 9 applications, you need Mac OS 9.1 installed on your computer. If you don’t have Mac OS 9.1 installed, you will see a message when you start installing Mac OS X. It’s recommended that you upgrade before you install Mac OS X. To upgrade your computer, start up your computer using Mac OS 9, if it isn’t already, and use the.

The classic OS X 10.12, or rather macOS upgrade, introduced tons of features anyone would still want on their Mac. Why? Because, it's well-tested and secure. Now we'll take a quick look at the legendary macOS Sierra upgrade. (In case you want to upgrade your Mac to macOS 10.13 High Sierra, check out this guide.)

Refurbished phones and laptops can save you hundreds in cash. 5 questions to ask before you buy Mobile by Jason Cipriani Apr 11, 2021 Backing up your Mac with Time Machine is something everyone. Before you update macOS, don’t forget to: Clean up your Mac. This is essential if you want a fast and effortless update, and glitchless work of your new macOS. And it’s also pretty easy. To give your Mac a cleanup, you need to get rid of system junk, uninstall extra apps, and clean some old caches. To run the game on your Mac, you’ll require a system running OS X 10.12, powered by an Intel Core i5-750M or better coupled with an Intel HD 530 or better, and at least 4GB of RAM. Since the game is so massive, you’ll also need at least 70GB of free space on your system.

Interestingly, it first brought Siri to your Mac. This is great news for everyone who’s already used to her help on iOS. Then, there’s Watch unlocking for Mac, there’s one-click Apple Pay, tabs in apps, and cross-device copypasting. Just to name a few.

So, if you were on the fence about upgrading to Sierra, and in fact, any newer OS, go right ahead. Your Mac deserves a refreshment.

How to upgrade macOS: Sierra 10.12 compatibility list

As with the previous versions, macOS Sierra is available for a limited list of Mac models.
Here are the models of Macs that are compatible with macOS 10.12 and can upgrade to Sierra:

Does order matter when you upgrade macOS?

If your current operating system is OS X Lion (10.7), you can skip a few versions, and upgrade directly to macOS High Sierra. To upgrade to Sierra from, say, Mavericks, you’ll have to consequently upgrade to Yosemite and then to El Capitan first.

Check Your macOS for Sierra Compatibility

These OS versions can upgrade to Sierra:

• OS X Mountain Lion v10.8
• OS X Mavericks v10.9
• OS X Yosemite v10.10
• OS X El Capitan v10.11

Here’s how to find out which OS version you’re running now:

Till You Die Mac Os 11

1. Click Apple icon in the top left corner.
2. Choose About this Mac.
3. There you have it, in capital letters.

Memory (RAM): 2 GB (preferably 4 GB)
Sierra is pretty lightweight, so you only need 2 GB of RAM to upgrade. Cool, eh?

Disk space: 8 GB of free space on drive.
In the same About this Mac menu select 'Storage' tab. In front of the multi-colored bar, you will see the phrase, 'X.XX GB free out of XX.XX GB.' If you don't have at least 8 GB of free space, you should delete some old files.

Before you update macOS, don’t forget to:

Clean up your Mac

This is essential if you want a fast and effortless update, and glitchless work of your new macOS. And it’s also pretty easy. To give your Mac a cleanup, you need to get rid of system junk, uninstall extra apps, and clean some old caches. If that sounds like a lot of work, you can get a Mac cleaner like CleanMyMac for the job.

How to update your Mac: Clean it up first

1. Launch it.
2. Hit Scan to find all the extra files you can delete.
3. Press Run.

As you can see, I have 8.56 GB worth of caches, obsolete language files, broken downloads. You'll feel great getting rid of them.
That will give your Mac a basic system cleanup, but CleanMyMac is going to come in handy after the update as well. It monitors your Mac’s health, helps you speed up the system and remove unnecessary apps (Trashing doesn’t fully uninstall apps, by the way).

Back up your Mac

This is basic common sense before any Mac software update you’d like to undertake. Why? Well, because sometimes updates happen less smoothly than you’d like them to. To make sure you have all your information and files saved up neatly, you need a backup. To back up your Mac, you need to activate Time Machine.

• Open your Applications folder.
• Choose Time Machine.
• 'Select Backup Disk…'
  Note: You may need to first choose to 'Set Up Time Machine.'
• Choose where you'd like to store your backup.
• Both an external drive or an Airport Time Capsule fit.

• Switch the toggle on the left, from 'OFF' to 'ON.' Right beneath the name of your storage device, you'll see 'Oldest backup,' 'Latest backup,' and 'Next backup' — Your backup will begin within 5 minutes. To speed it up, click the arrow clock icon next to the Date & Time at the top-right of the menu bar and select 'Back Up Now.'

How to download macOS Sierra (or newer macOS) and install it

macOS Sierra is increasingly becoming a relic. Since 2020, the newest available macOS version is Big Sur. But it all comes down to hardware. Your Mac can only upgrade to the latest version its hardware can support. If your Mac is from around 2012 it can update as high up as to macOS Catalina. If your Mac is from 2010 or older, its limit is macOS High Sierra.

To download any new macOS and install it you’ll need to do the next:
1. Open System Preferences... in the  Apple menu.
2. Click on Software Updates.
On top of the list you'll see the latest macOS version your Mac can download. In our case, it's macOS Big Sur.

Another way to do it is via the Mac App Store.

1. Open App Store.
2. Click the Updates tab.
3. You’ll see macOS updates available for your Mac.
4. Click Update.

Wait for macOS download and installation. Your Mac will restart when it’s done.

Now you have a new OS.
For historic interest, this is how macOS Sierra looked back then when it was still available in the Mac App Store. Now, it can't be found there anymore.

Download macOS installers directly from Apple

For users of past operating systems Apple created a handy a list of macOS installers. They go as far back as to macOS Yosemite. The first 3 of them will open and start the update process automatically.

• macOS High Sierra 10.13
  The 3 following installers will download macOS as a disk image (.dmg) After you unpack it, the macOS updater app will appear in your Applications.

We hope this guide has been of use, and don’t forget to clean up your Mac and back it up before you get the classic macOS! Cheers.

Updated December 2, 2020: added information for new Macs with Apple processors.

All too often I’ve seen people buy a used Mac only to find that the seller did not properly erase the Mac first. Sellers sometimes just delete their documents, leaving poorly configured and obsolete apps lying around. Or worse yet a malicious security threat or connections to their old account. Here is how to properly erase a Macintosh, ensuring that:

• If you are selling or recycling your Mac, none of your personal information remains
• If you are buying a used Mac, none of the previous owner’s configuration will mess things up

Take note of what system version you are running, as some of these instructions will vary depending on the version. You can find that in the Apple menu > About This Mac.

Back up any data

These steps will completely and irrecoverably erase everything on your Mac. If you have anything on this Mac that you want to keep you’ll want to back it up. Photos, contacts, documents, application installers, etc. Many of these things are saved to iCloud but not necessarily. When we are done the only thing left will be a squeaky clean computer as good as from the factory.

Update your software (optional)

If the computer is going to be reused or sold, you probably want to upgrade the software to the latest supported OS if it isn’t already. It’s better to do an upgrade and then erase rather than an erase and then upgrade. If you’re planning to simply recycle the computer it doesn’t matter so you can skip this.

You can view my reference chart to see what version of macOS you can run, and where to get each version.

Log out of your accounts

This isn’t strictly necessary but it will remove one of your five allowed iTunes authorizations and will remove the computer from your iCloud account. In particular, you’ll want to:

• Deauthorize iTunes. Instructions are the same for the Music app in macOS Catalina. You only need to do it for Music or Apple TV, not both.
• Log out of iCloud (in the Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud), if prompted you can delete the local data, since you have all of this in iCloud already.
• Log out of iMessage (open iMessage, click the iMessage menu, click the Accounts tab, click the iMessage account on the left column, and then click the button to sign out)
• Log out of FaceTime (similar to logging out of iMessage).
• Deactivate any third party software that has a limited number of authorizations. Most consumer-grade software doesn’t do this, but some expensive professional software does. Instructions for this will vary depending on the specific software.

Start up in macOS Recovery Mode

Be sure to remove all devices from your computer except for necessary items like the mouse and keyboard. You don’t want to accidentally erase an external hard drive.

For macOS 11 or higher with an Apple processor

1. Turn your computer off
2. Press and hold the power button until you see icons
3. Click the Options icon then click Continue

For macOS 10.7 or higher with an Intel processor

1. Turn your Mac off
2. Press the power button to turn the Mac back on and immediately press and hold the Command + R keys on your keyboard
3. When you see the Apple logo or globe you can release the keys
   
4. Follow any prompts such as entering your WiFi password or choosing your language

Till You Die Mac Os Download

Shortcut: If you are running macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later and you want to install the latest OS your computer supports rather than the currently installed OS, use Command + Option + R instead. You can release the keys when you see the globe, then choose your WiFi network when prompted.

For Mac OS X 10.6 and lower

You’ll need to boot using a Mac OS X disc. If you don’t have your disc you may need to upgrade the system software to a newer version first and then try again. Or you’ll need to enter Target Disk Mode and connect it to another Mac to erase with Disk Utility.

1. With the computer powered on, insert your Mac OS X install disc or the recovery disc that came with your Mac
2. Turn off your Mac
3. Press the power button to turn the Mac back on and immediately press and hold the Option key on your keyboard
4. Release the Option key when you see the boot selector
5. Use your arrow keys on your keyboard or your mouse to select the install disc (it could take up to a minute to appear)
6. click the arrow below the install disc or press Return on your keyboard to activate it

Erase your disk

For Macs with an Apple Processor

1. Use the WiFi icon in the upper right corner of your screen to connect to WiFi if you are not already
2. Click the “Utility” menu on the top of the screen and choose “Terminal”
3. In the terminal window type resetpassword and then press return
4. Click on the new window that pops up
5. Click the Recovery Assistant menu
6. Click “Erase Mac…” and follow the prompts to erase your Mac

For Macs with an Intel Processor

1. Once in Recovery Mode, click the Disk Utility from the menu and then click “Continue”
   
2. If running macOS 10.15 Catalina or 11 Big Sur you will see two similarly named drives on the left column, one with “Data” on the end. Click the Data drive to highlight it, then click the Minus Volume button above to remove the volume. Choose “Delete” (not Delete Volume Group). If you aren’t running Catalina or if you only see one internal drive skip this step.
   
3. Click to highlight your hard drive name on the left column, Macintosh HD by default. If you are running macOS 10.12 or lower it will be indented slightly behind the model name of the hard drive.
   
4. Click the Erase button. Depending on your OS version this will either be on the top button bar or on a tab to the right.
5. If you want to destroy sensitive data, click the “Security Options” button and choose the level you want to run. Each pass takes about two hours depending on the speed of your drive. A single pass is good enough for most people. But consider more if you have any highly sensitive data. If you have an SSD or Fusion Drive you may not have this button because a standard erase is far more destructive.
6. If the Format is listed as APFS, leave it as is. Otherwise make sure it says “MacOS Extended (Journaled)”.
7. Click Erase and wait for it to complete. Erasing an SSD or an insecure erase takes just a few seconds. A secure hard drive erase can take hours. If it fails pretty much immediately just try again. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries. If it runs for a long time and then fails, you may have a bad hard drive.
8. Click OK after it has finished.
9. Close Disk Utility with the red dot button.
10. Press Command-Q to shut down if you are just disposing of the computer, otherwise continue on to install the OS.

Install the OS (Optional)

If you are only recycling the computer and don’t need to prepare it for another user you can skip this step and shut down your computer by pressing Command-Q.

1. Make sure you are connected to your WiFi network by clicking the WiFi icon in the upper right corner of your screen.
2. Click the button to reinstall the OS and follow the prompts.
   
3. After the OS is installed you can either go through the account creation process or, if you are selling the computer to someone else, press Command-Q to quit and shut down. The next time the Mac is turned on the new user will be greeted with the same welcome screen.

Requirements

• Fast internet connection: this will download the OS from the internet. It usually takes 30 to 60 minutes on a cable or fiber connection, or it could take 6 to 12 hours on a DSL connection. The download is about 6 to 8 GB.
• For macOS 10.11 or earlier, the currently installed OS must already be in your Mac App Store account. Check this in the Apple menu > App Store > Purchased. If the currently installed OS is not on your purchase list you must upgrade to at least macOS 10.12 and then do the full erase, or solicit the account of someone who does have the currently installed version in their account.
• Compatible network connection: Most home and small business routers since about 2005 should have the appropriate configuration by default. If you are unsure click the WiFi icon in the top right corner of your screen while holding the “Option” key. In light grey lettering you will see your current security type. Or just try it and see if it works.

You must be on either:

• wired ethernet connection,
• WiFi connection without a password, or
• WiFi connection with WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal encryption.

You cannot install via:

• captive WiFi connection (one where you get a popup on connecting such as at a coffee shop or library),
• WiFi with WEP encryption
• WiFi with WPA-Enterprise encryption
• WiFi with certificate-based encryption, or
• a connection that requires a proxy to be configured.
