Standalone updates let you update to a newer version of Mac OS X from your hard drive instead of using Software Update, which requires an Internet connection. This can be especially helpful if you have more than one Mac that need to have the update installed, since you only have to download it once.
Download the one s you need and install them after mounting the disk image and launching the Installer program. Standalone Updates are generally available 24 to 48 hours after the Update is available through Software Update. If you burn a Standalone Update to CD, its disk image must be copied to your desktop or another location on your Mac OS X startup disk in order to be installed.
Lion Yes I was able to keep the installer. It was just a matter of copying it onto an external drive before installing it.
The App Store has also changed the Lion Download now to You can actually run the recovery hd downloader from inside Lion when it is booted by following this article. No, there was no fooling the system at all. You simply downloaded the installer, copied it elsewhere before installing it and you have a copy for good to make a DVD or USB installer from.
There was no trick to it, it was widely discuss from the day and actually BEFORE the first release of Lion, that the install 'self destructed' after installing. So you could and can always keep the install files. I'm sorry to disagree with you but unless you did something other then just downloading the Lion install files it would Restart the system Automatically and Start the install.
DMG file to some other place so it would not get Automatically Deleted. At no time does the normal downloading and installing process give any chance to save that file. There is no prompt of any kind that says anything like, "Would you like to save this file before the install begins". Just because you had the foresight to make those changes so you could save the file does not mean that most people that use a Mac have that insight.
I'm sorry to disagree. You download the installer and it is saved as InstallESD. DMG in the Applications Folder. From there you open and install it, giving you a chance to save a copy elsewhere first. There was no automatic install.
There would be using the recovery partition. So where did this idea of Auto Install come from? Search back through the forums here, it was well known from the start. Those that didn't know just didn't know, but that does not justify you saying it could not be done.
I really don't understand your arguement. Question: Q: i need to download More Less. Communities Get Support. Sign in Sign in Sign in corporate. Browse Search. Ask a question. If you put it on the desktop before running, it will still be there after the install.
What's the point of Method 2? Why would you need to download it a second time? And if it wasn't corrupt, it's a proof of concept. Personally, I like to refer to backups. I figured the file was corrupt. How can you have a 'Lion' system that is not If you mean you are running Snow Leopard, why don't you just say that? Very confusing. Also, why do you only allude to the functional key-combo Option-Click on the 'Purchases' tab of the App Store?
Wouldn't it be helpful to state what it actually is in order to clarify what this hint is trying to do? Craig, this hint needs to be removed and rewritten for clarity; it only confuses the issues and adds little useful information.
You may also have saved a copy, but for some reason, believe it to be corrupt or out of date and you wish to retrieve another copy. Option-Click 'Purchases'. The 'OS X Lion' listing, which would normally show as 'Installed' will now again show 'Download'; click to re-download, but Cancel the Installation when given the opportunity, and then move or copy the installer from the Applications folder to a safe location.
Note: Be sure to label the new parent folder with the version number you downloaded; as of this writing that should be Method 2: If you are still running Save as above, as desired.
Yup, you're spot on; in my frustration with this and other sloppiness I've encountered since getting up way too early today, I forgot about that rather important detail. Thanks for the correction. Cheers F. Other than the small correction Mr. Let's scrap this hint and replace it with the one you wrote. Changing the title of the hint to: Didn't work for me.
When I hold the alt key while clicking on Purchased I see the list of purchases with the "Install" buttons, but all the while I also get the dreaded spinning beach ball. When the spinning ball disappears all buttons change to "Installed".
