Computer Specific Releases
I was having trouble with my Mac Book Air. The installed OS X was damaged and, for reasons I cannot explain, it would not re-install from the recovery boot.
So I decided to try going around the other way. I installed Mountain Lion from the Install link in the App Store by which I upgraded to MtLion on my iMac. I installed MtLion on an external hard drive. When I 'ejected' it from the iMac and attached it to the MBA, it would not boot.
I asked around, and someone told me there were Machine Specific releases. Files that were installed on the OS based on what hardward you were using. They pointed mt to this message:
Yes. Machine-specific discs are only usable with those machines. See
Computer-specific Mac OS X releases.
That article is interesting. It also has a number o flinks to other articles and every one of those links are dead. Instead of the referenced article they take you to the Apple.com support page.
Anyone know how to get the articles that were referenced?
Thanks.
