#Mac os x mountain lion 10.8.5 32bit full#– a full backup of your current harddrive running OSX 10.7 Lion and all your personal files (simply put : “a Time Machine backup of your Mac”) – the 32-bit MLPostFactor v3.0 installer-patcher (should be put inside your Applications folder also) you can download from here : – an official version of the OSX 10.8 installer, (re)downloaded from the Mac App Store inside your Applications Folder (sorry, pirated versions don’t work…) – one of the Intel-Macs mentioned above (running MacOSX 10.7 Lion and at least 2GB of RAM) !!! THIS IS FOR (RATHER) EXPERIENCED MAC-USERS ONLY, AND SHOULD NOT BE DONE ON YOUR ‘ONE AND ONLY’ MAC !!! – it’s provided “as-is”, so no support from anyone (neither the developer nor me), and no guarantee it will fully or even partially work in your case (especially not if you do not strictly follow all of the directions !!) – the SMB client is not working properly (the SMB server is), so file transfer is crippled – some (but very little) software is not compatible due to various reasons e.g. – regular OSX updates are disabled, you can only use a special OSX-update routine …and I must say : “(in my case) it runs smoother than MacOSX 10.7”, but there are a few downsides, especially these ones : Late 2006 (and newer) versions of the Macbook, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro and XserveĮarly 2008 (and newer) versions or the Macbook Air #Mac os x mountain lion 10.8.5 32bit install#Yes, thanks to the guys from MLPostFactor, it’s now possible to install OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion (even 10.8.4) on these older Intel-Macs :Įarly 2006 (and newer) versions of the iMac and Mac mini And a new version that supports installing OSX 10.11 El_Capitan is in the works.įor more info (and downloads), go to the info page on : MacPostFactor also supports installing OSX versions up to OSX 10.10 Yosemite on older Macs. MLPostFactor has been succeeded/replaced by MacPostFactor, and is now being updated by a new crew of programmers. ![]() Very easy, and especially, if you already have an account with them.I read somewhere that it is possible to install the latest version of OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion on my Mac, even though the official installer refuses to install. I got El Capitan from the App Store, by the way. So while I understand your concerns, I wish to assure you that going from Mountain Lion to El Capitan or Sierra should not be problemmatic. It looks somewhat different, but it's basically the same. #Mac os x mountain lion 10.8.5 32bit update#You should know that I had some perplexities getting the update for Skype (owing to a quirk of the link at the old Skype opening window), but once I got it all straight, installation went smoothly and Skype worked well. But that comes with learning anything new, so assuming that your computer can handle either Sierra or El Capitan, is in good shape, and you don't have lots of antiquated software that you can't live without, you shouldn't worry about updating your OS. I see no problems with El Capitan, except a bit of a learning curve. The installation of the new OS did take a long time, but the installation went without a hitch. Everything else is working without incident. Waterfox is just fine I'm still on the fence about LibreOffice, but I can either get used to it or spring for a more up-to-date MS Office version. I also installed Waterfox, a substitute for Firefox recommended in these forums, and LibreOffice, a free substitute for my old MS Office, and any update of software like Acrobat Reader. I was able, successfully, to update to El Capitan (that computer couldn't handle Sierra, but my new one will have it). I, too, was unable to use Skype with my then-current OS. Just by way of encouragement from a non-expert. Be patient, the download takes a long time and the install may look like it has died at times. Duplicate it and then drag the copy it to another locations like Downloads, if you want to save the installer.ħ. After downloading the installer, it will be in /Applications folder. Disconnect all peripherals, including USB hubs.Ħ. Check your applications for compatibility here…. #Mac os x mountain lion 10.8.5 32bit for free#Solve them first then upgrade.ģ Check HDD for free space. If you have issues on your present system don't compound them by installing over them. Make a bootable clone SuperDuper! or CarbonCopy Cloner or use TimeMachine.Ģ. Anything can happen at any time, so you should always keep a good backup. Upgrades and updates contain important security improvements plus additional features.ġ. #Mac os x mountain lion 10.8.5 32bit upgrade#Generally speaking, you should always upgrade to the latest possible system that you meet the specs for, as long as you have no “must have” apps that do not meet the specs. So those who are having problems with upgrades are the exceptions. Mostly only folks who are having problems post here and the millions whose Macs are working fine never visit here. These forums are like going to the ER of a hospital, you'll see a lot of sick people. ![]()
