download mac os sierra iso after macOS Sierra disappears from the Mac App Store. Previously, whenever a major new version of macOS (or OS X) would launch on the Mac App Store, the previous version would still be available for download in the Purchased tab on the store. But things have changed this year. Now that macOS High Sierra has launched, its predecessor, Sierra, is nowhere to be found. It appears that updates for macOS are no longer tied to your Apple ID, which explains why Sierra and High Sierra don't show up in your Purchased tab. However, Sierra is also missing when you search for it in the Mac App Store. As Stephen Hackett of 512 Pixels notes: This means there's no easy way for someone to install macOS Sierra at this point. If your Mac came with 10.12.4 or greater, you can reinstall that version from Apple's servers, but going back from High Sierra isn't doable unless you've got a copy of Sierra laying around. As Hackett goes on to note, it's likely that at least part of this move is motivated by Apple's desire for Macs running Sierra to upgrade to High Sierra, which offers many refinements of the Sierra experience. It's also worth noting that, at least for Macs with internal SSDs, downgrading from High Sierra would be more difficult thanks to the APFS transition. Question: Q: Where can I download OSX Sierra DMG/ISO? Mac wont start! I upgraded my Macbook Pro OS to Sierra on Thursday Friday morning and its been a disaster. Crashing, not starting. So far with continuous trying over the weekend I cannot start in safe mode, restore mode. I have done boot with D and hardware check was fine. Boot with Shift hults at 50-90% of progress bar. Boot with Cmd + Opt + R gets me to select wi-fi and authenticate, then get to grey background with apple logo and a non animated spinning gear icon, after about 5 minutes screen goes black. Can anyone help me with an OSX Sierra DMG or ISO I can download from my Windows PC and create a bootable USB Flash drive to see if I can boot on that to repair? MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5) Posted on Oct 3, 2016 4:08 AM. The sole source for macOS Sierra is from the OS X/macOS App Store, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option+command+R), taking the default downloaded version of OS X from Apple that originally shipped with your Mac, and then using the App Store on that release of OS X to select/download/install MacOS Sierra from the App Store. Keep your Mac plugged into a power source while you are doing this. Posted on Oct 3, 2016 4:17 AM. All replies. Loading page content. Page content loaded.

The gear icon is not moving/animating, is that right? Oct 3, 2016 4:36 AM. You will need either a designated Wi-Fi connection, or wired connection, and wired power supply when you perform Internet Recovery. Since it has been a few days, hopefully you have this sorted and progressed through the incremental upgrades to a functional macOS Sierra system. I have been sufficiently fortunate that I have not needed to perform an Internet Recovery, but if it is not showing any progress after a reasonable amount of time, that would be cause for concern. Oct 7, 2016 4:21 PM. Is there a progress bar showing at all? It can take up to 15 minutes to connect to Apple's servers with internet recovery. You will know you're connected when it finally changes to the Utilities window. Oct 7, 2016 4:50 PM. Hi, I have similar problem, but I am stuck on 2FA. Yosemite is not showing the window for 2FA code, so I am not able to download Sierra from AppStore. What should I do? (software updates installed). I am not able to turn 2FA off, because I don't remember my security questions (and I don't know where to change them). Could anyone help me with this? Thanks. Nov 10, 2016 8:23 AM. The following Apple article describes how to reset your security questions on your AppleID. Apr 3, 2017 8:09 AM. I have the same problem and want to wipe and install a fresh macOS Sierra. Apple in all their wisdom deletes the Sierra download if the OS is already at Sierra. (Thanks Apple, Brilliant) When I go into App Store Purchases. Sierra is not listed, so I can't download the Installer DMG from Apple. Brilliant again Apple. So the only option left is to find a file repository on the internet where I can download the Sierra Installer image. Is this a plot to get me to throw away my MacBook and buy a new one? disgusted in Crestone. Aug 11, 2017 12:53 PM. If you go to the App Store Featured tab, can you download it from there? If you boot into the Recovery Mode (command - R on a restart), can you install it from there? Aug 11, 2017 2:16 PM. I don't suppose you Time Machined your old Yosemite? Might be a good idea so you can keep your MacBook. I have a 2008 MacBook on Mavericks having missed my opportunity for Yosemite and it works wonderfully well. Any particular reason for upgrade to Sierra? Aug 11, 2017 2:23 PM. So the only option left is to find a file repository on the internet where I can download the Sierra Installer image. That would be a very bad idea. Not only is the app store the only place where one can obtain OS and apps legally, anything sold elsewhere online is considered a bootlegged copy and may contain additional hidden software (malware/adware). As well, any download is tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it, so you may run into unexpected problems trying to update/reinstall. Aug 11, 2017 6:44 PM. This is insane. I have a MBP with a regular HDD, thus cannot run High Sierra. All I want to do is upgrade from Yosemite to Sierra--but Sierra is gone! So there are millions of computers out here that can't be upgraded to the highest OS they can run? Is that really possible? Sep 27, 2017 12:28 PM. All Macs that can run Sierra can run High Sierra. It is also possible to run High Sierra on a hard disk. I have High Sierra working fine on a hard drive in a MacPro 2010. What makes you think this would not be possible on your Mac? Sep 27, 2017 1:32 PM. I have a MBP with a regular HDD, thus cannot run High Sierra. If your Mac is compatible, of course you can run HS. The only difference is that your drive will not be converted to APFS; it'll remain HFS. That's all. Macs with regular spinning drives and/or fusion drives will not be converted to APFS; Macs with SSDs will. As for Sierra: Apple's policy of withdrawing the older OS when a new one is rolled out has been in force for several years. There has been a simple solution for years as well: Just download the installer and copy it to a safe place for future use. I have installers of every OS since Lion, safely parked on an external drive. MacOS Sierra Direct Download Updated 19 May 2017.
