So I managed to download the Mojave installer (macOSUpdCombo10.14.6.dmg). BUT: this machine is already running 10.8.5. That's all great, and it looks like a raging success. I'm letting that load as I write this, but I think what's going to happen is (just like an hour ago) that it will put on 10.8.5. I click the link and a download starts (InstallMacOSX.dmg).

I double-click it, and Mac tells me "You can't open the application "Install macOS High Sierra" because it may be damaged or incomplete." Phooey. I have the High Sierra update file on Mama's Mac now (copied from the jump drive Leeann sent me). How do you like Catalina? I'm still on Mojave because the first two or three launches of Catalina had some glitches, according to some friends who were early adopters. I used this for Catalina and it worked perfectly. Install macOS High Sierra Beta 10.13.5 (17F66a) Watch the video and you use a github command line to download directly from Apple.ĩ.
