Monterey doesn't appear to exist in the App Store anymore.
Have a 2017 iMac running Big Sur 11.7.10 & have read I should upgrade to Monterey before trying Ventura. I don't remember why I didn't upgrade way back when; I believe there were some concerns but don't recall them. Am I SOL?
iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 11.7
I don't think that link How to download and install macOS - Apple Support information works any more -- have you actually tested trying to download the stand alone installers or methods referenced in that article? - I did unsuccessfully over days: How to download full installer Monterey t… - Apple Community
The following screenshot shows Safair address bar at discussions.apple.com
the App Store window open with GET loaded
with Software Update on top of that with the error:
Update not found
The requested version of macOS is not available.
Every method I tried Failed
I think they have been pulled from the server...
According to this article it is. How to download and install macOS - Apple Support
Late 2015 27" iMac. Add this to the previous screen shot.
I wasn't going to let the installer finish downloading but since you need convincing.
FWIW, there's no reason not to upgrade directly to Ventura.
I documented my steps ad nauseam on my link
including Hardware, OS versions, screenshots, steps
I am not exactly sure how you got to Software Update from what different method on the link Limnos posted -- or what hardware/OS you are on in that screenshot -- but I think if you were after the actual download (not an updater from a working OS automatically installing the update) it would take you to the
"Update not found
The requested version of macOS is not available."
that I and others have found
I do recall having Upgrade and Download options using various methods but in every case it ENDED in not available or not on server, except for the one scenario noted on my earlier notes ad nauseam
I would be more interested in seeing the end result -- the installer icon in applications (that I can use to make a USB boot installer) -- what hardware and OS version you are on -- the method and steps you took -- a screenshot can tell (me) a thousand words -- your SS doesn't really tell me anything (no disrespect intended)
exactly what I was trying
I would still be interested in what machine and OS you did that on
and the method and steps you took
so I could try and duplicate your success
I don't need Monterey anymore -- I AM JUST CURIOUS NOW
I found an old Monterey 12.7 USB installer I set up a few years ago, it booted my Mac mini 2014, Erased the internal target SSD, and installed 12.7 -- Software Update updated that to 12.7.6
I just noticed your hardware
I have two 2017 5k iMacs running Mojave and Ventura
one 2019 5k iMac running Mojave and Sequoia
three macbook pro running Mojave and Big Sur
2 Mac mini 2014 running movaje
1 Mac mini 2011 running 10.6.8 (hax for the drivers)
I understand supported hardware and macOS
and much experience in the procedures noted
just sayin it is not working here...
Works here. You do have to be on a compatible Mac.
Where can I download macOS Monterey?
