Mojave download from App store

When i try to download Mojave from this link https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210190 it says I cannot download Mojave because the file is damaged, from the app store. Why is this happening? Where else can I download Mojave?

iMac Line (2012 and Later)

In your screenshot the App Store says 'Open', this is an indication you have already downloaded Mojave,

the error message is an indication the download did not complete.

Go to your Applications folder and locate Install macOS Mojave.app, move it to the Trash, empty the Trash.

Connect your mac to your router via cable. Restart your mac, go back to the App Store Mojave download page,

it will now say Get or Download. Do not use the mac while it is downloading and do not use any other devices

that share the same internet connection.

Don't use FireFox for this link…


https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/macos-mojave/id1398502828?mt=12


If you get a corrupted message...

Naw, not damaged, it's just that you have an old copy already in Applications, there are 2 cures...


Disconnect from the Internet & set the Date back to 2014, then you can run the Install MacsOS Mohave App in Applications, so expired Certificates are not expired.


Or... trash the Install MacsOS Mojave.app in Applications then a new copy can be downloaded.
