The drive never recovered from THAT ordeal!Ĭigarette smoke is probably the worst, but then there was the 4-y-o kid who decided that CD tray was a good place to store a PBJ.Apple® today announced that OS X® Mavericks, the 10th major release of the world’s most advanced desktop operating system, is available for free from the Mac App Store?. I have seen everything you can imagine to "gook up" a DVD drive.Ĭigarette smoke is probably the worst, but then there was the 4-y-o kid who decided that CD tray was a good place to store a PBJ. Quite handy when going on site, and not knowing what Mac I will find. I have a 64GB flash drive with every installer from Snow Leopard on, each on a bootable partition. Once you have downloaded the installer app, you don't need to download that again, just make a bootable installer on a flash drive, or other external storage. Depends on the OS X version which has other updates.Īnd, Apple does provide online instructions for creating a bootable installer, which you can do on you own. There's nothing more that downloads from internet, other than later updates. The install is not complete, but the flash drive is done. (DVD install typically takes 45 minutes to an hour or more, where a USB 3.0 flash drive copies the system files off in 5 to 15 minutes, at the most. Users who create a bootable DVD have discovered that the installer is no longer optimized for booting through optical media. My point is that Apple no longer provides OS installers on DVD (since Snow Leopard). Yeah, those were the "good old days" Maybe these days, they could toss in a 8GB Flash drive, those are worth about a buck, but I don't want to cut into Apple's massive pile of cash with a modest request for customer service. Any time Apple wastes my time to save a few pennies, it makes me question my allegiance to the wealthiest cheapskates on the planet (close enough).Īs I said, it'll take me less time to drive to the Apple store, and see if the "Deer in the Headlights" Employees can pry loose a relatively stable version of the operating system. I have had downloads from Apple abort and fail, so you'll have to excuse me if I'm not impressed by your sarcasm. I've also never damaged a DVD so that it wouldn't play, (and what are you playing that gets the drive so dirty it won't run). ![]() Never had a DVD take as long as the system download does.
