![]() OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion will be a $19.99 upgrade which will hit the Mac App Store on launch day. But, there is already under two weeks left in July, and with last year’s launch pattern prime for repetition (launch announcement during the upcoming earnings call), we’d say a July 25th launch is increasingly likely. ![]() ![]() On the other hand, Apple often holds Tuesday overnights, so this July 24th overnight may simply be a coincidence, and Apple may not launch OS X Mountain Lion on the 25th. Notably, some stores we’ve spoken to haven’t heard of any overnight…yet. One employee tells us that it is basically just a few guys running around with the master image installing it on every Mac. ![]() This year, Mountain Lion isn’t being launched alongside hardware (last year new Minis and Airs launched with Lion) so there is less setup required and accordingly, we’re hearing that the overnights will be smaller. It appears that Apple may follow that same pattern this year. For OS X Lion’s launch last year, Apple announced the July 20th release at its July 19th Q3 2011 earnings announcement. This purported launch would be July 25th, a date that we speculated when Apple announced that its Q3 2012 earnings would be announced on the 24th. With OS X Mountain Lion launching “in July”, according to Apple, we believe that it is sensible to speculate that this overnight may point to a public launch the following day. I have experienced security certificate/system date issues when installing old versions of macOS, so you might need to change the system date part way through the installation process in order to avoid error messages that prevent installation.We’ve heard a few whispers (3 and counting) that Apple Stores both in the United States and overseas have planned overnights for Tuesday, July 24th. I think you might need to first update to El Capitan 10.11 before you can update to versions newer than that. Look up your machine at and you can find out what the latest version of macOS your machine can run (it is listed just above what version of Windows the machine can run, so search for "Windows" and you jump right to the info about macOS). has info on creating USB bootable installers, but you can probably just download the installer from and run it from within your current Lion installation to upgrade. ![]() Would really like to know how to get my computer back to normal. When I click on software updates, it says there are no updates available & that the computer is up to date, which I know isn’t true.įeeling very stuck as cannot access safari or the App Store to try and install a newer MacOS, so I am left with a quite useless computer that’s stuck in the past, as nothing works. However when I did this, my Mac restarted itself in a much older version of MacOS, giving me the option to instead, install a new copy of ‘MacOS Lion’ - which is a much older version of MacOS than when I previously received the computer.Īfter having no choice but to install Lion, the iMac will no longer run as expected, failing to open Safari, Mail or any of the Applications, saying the computer needs “updating”. I decided to wipe the computer & restart it from scratch, holding down command + R, opening up the Mac OS utilities menu. I recently was given my dads old iMac which was working smoothly with, I believe, Mac OS High Sierra. ![]()
