    This database will contain download links for macOS 12 full Installer pkg files (InstallAssistant.pkg). This file is the same full installer that you would download directly from the App Store for Intel and Apple Silicon M1 Mac Computers. The InstallAssistant.pkg is stored on Apple's servers and contains the full "Install macOS.app". Once downloaded, all you need to do is install the pkg and the full installer of macOS will be in your applications folder. This change was made when Apple revised the full installer for Big Sur. The InstallAssistant.pkg is not available for Catalina or Mojave.

    We can follow these steps with the global release of macOS Monterey 12.0.1 and it works without any issues on Macmini Late 2012. I haven’t seen any crashes so far. Although I do not use 3rd party webcam on my mac mini so I am not sure if Safari will crash if requested for camera access as it’s mentioned in this video in existing issues. Rest looks good, installs without any issues and works flawlessly.

    Will these options work if your Mac has become "unsupported" as I just found out from Apple? I have a funny feeling after you would d/l and try to install it would have a pop up and say that the installer cannot proceed since the Mac is. no longer supported.

    @ Mr. Macintosh....Question. Right now I have High Sierra on my Mac. 10.13.6 version. Is it possible to bypass all the other operating systems and go straight to Monterey from High Sierra ?
    Do I need to backup all my files and app's on an external drive before doing this Monterey upgrade ? In other words can I do the upgrade right as my Mac sits now with all files/app's on it and not lose anything or will I lose my files if I don't do the backup. ?
    Actually I'm more worried about losing my app's than my files. Files are easy to backup on a drive where as app's you have to search for them again and download them back on to your Mac. Which can be a pain in the behind as I have a lot of apps on my Mac.

  • @kyle51895
    @kyle51895 Před 2 měsíci

    Thank you! Your site is the only way I can get Monterey after upgrading my 2011 MBP to Sonoma. (bad idea if anyone is attempting, lol) App store and Terminal options don't work anymore, just tells me there's no updates available in system preferences when I go through the app store, and terminal only shows High Sierra or Sonoma. Frustrating for sure. Hoping Monterey has good performance for this laptop, Sonoma seems a bit of a stretch even with 16GB RAM.

      @@Mr.Macintosh I have a late 2012 imac still on catalina. Now that Monterey is out, I'm wondering is it worth upgrading to the fully supported big sur (oclp) or going monterey at the cost of losing sip and sbm. Of course I want to have the most recent OS on my mac especially if that translates into better performance over the previous version, but will I run into security issues? And will using a patched kepler gpu driver make the system unstable as it gets updated over time?
      I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.

Haven't pop off the led yet to verify as I brought this second hand from someone else. I can tell you this is very fraustrating.
