![]() Even when they are, the advice to wait for a while after official release is a good suggestion. We say both of those things about Macs that are supposed to be able to run these things. Every year we also point out that installing the beta is fine so long as you do it on a spare Mac. Every year we generally advise you to wait a little while before installing the final version. Apple's macOS, like any operating system, is so complex that it's bound to have some problems on older gear. Normally we'd be hesitant about that too. If you have, go ahead, use Mojave on that. So, unless you've got friends who have newer Macs yet not enough conscience to warn you off this idea because it is potentially hazardous to your data and hardware, you've got to personally have a Mojave-capable Mac. ![]() To get a copy of macOS Mojave to install on an unsupported Mac, you have to be in the Apple Beta program but more importantly than that, you have to download it on a supported Mac. But, if you're now wondering where it gets Mojave from, you've spotted a potential hang-up in the process. Other than that, it takes macOS Mojave and installs it on a drive. This is the same guy that did this for High Sierra, and has supplied a series of other hacks and workarounds for fans of older Apple hardware.ĭoubtlessly the tool is a clever piece of programming that is be far beyond our skill, but ultimately it just does one thing - it prevents Apple's macOS installation tool from spotting that the machine you're using is too old. The Mojave Patcher Tool for Unsupported Macs is available for download from DosDude1. On your own head and someone else's hard drive We would just then be surprised that you want to risk that great use by installing a macOS update that it can't handle. Plus even a ten-year-old MacBook Pro is a good computer and we'd not be at all surprised if you were still getting great use out of it. We get that you may well not be able to afford a new Mac. That said, Apple's official list also has exceptions: if you have the right Mac Pro you can install Mojave on even a mid-2010 machine. The new and most utterly not Apple supported macOS Mojave Patcher Tool will even go back to 2007 if you have a very specific iMac that you've already upgraded in a very specific way. Or at least any Mac you like back to around 2008. ![]() However, if you're the sort to believe that every year Apple tries to force everyone to buy new Macs, and you also forget that 2012 was six years ago, you're in luck.īut, there is now a way to ignore Apple and install macOS Mojave on any Mac you like. Using our Install Patch configuration, you can deploy the Mojave update to all the Mac devices in your network.This year's macOS Mojave beta, and subsequent update, won't run and can't be installed on any Mac older than about 2012 - or so Apple thinks. Now, the patch will be successfully uploaded to the patch store, and will be available for deployment.Navigate to the location of the downloaded patch file in and upload it.Apply the filter "Missing patches in the network" and find the 'Upgrade to macOS Mojave' option under 'Patch Description'. Here you will find a list of patches that have to be downloaded manually.Navigate to Patches > Downloaded patches > upload patches.(Note: This option is only available for the build 10.0.282 and above). In order to deploy the macOS Mojave patch to Mac devices missing the latest version, it is required to upload the installation file to our patch store using the following steps: Go to the Applications folder(as mentioned in the file path) and execute that exact command in that folder to compress the installation file. Note: The User should not execute the above command in some other directory. ![]()
