Download OS X El Capitan dmg

Hi,


I need to know how and where to ownload OS X El Capitan in dmg format, so I don't have the Mac connected to the internet.

I have a developer account, also.


Thanks in advance.

Have a look in your Application folder for Install OS X El Capitan.app, move it to the trash and delete.

Also have a look in Launchpad and see if there is a Mac OS X icon, if so click and hold till it wiggles, click the 'x' and delete.

Restart and relaunch App Store, can you download now.


If not, does your Mac meet the system requirements.

I don't understand the question.


How can you download and not be connected to the internet?


It downloads as "Install OS X El Capitan.app"


Once it is downloaded you do not have to install it, quit the installer. It will sit in your applications folder by design. From there you can create a bootable SDcard / USB installer and then you can always delete it from the applications folder.
