Default High Sierra 10.13.2 full install

I thought this might come in handy for those who get an imac pro or new mac that comes with 10.13.6 but CAN use 10.13.2, as to get the best experience with Pro tools.. I also advise to then do the 10.13.3 combo update which is readily available at apple.

This will work on any imac pro but NOT 2018 macbooks as they need 10.13.6

Any mac pro except 2009 and earlier models, also as well as any non pro imac.

I uploaded a couple days ago but someone told me was corrupted so i pulled it, but I downloaded it twice myself and the zip uncompresses perfectly. Ie the link is absolutely fine, hence me sharing it again.

This is official Apple release as directly downloaded from app store..(except dmg'd then zipped)

Edit, uploaded to google drive, non expiring.. will leave it there as long as needed.

Ahh ok so they are not LETTING you download it now.. interesting....

Well I don't know what to do...

I have tried to upload it so many times and it keeps failing anywhere else...

So, any other ideas, i am all ears....

I have spent hours already trying, 3 uploads have failed at two different sites.

I am not sure what else to do other than put it on a usb stick and send it to someone else here who can upload it?

I suppose i can try google again as i go to sleep now and hopefully it's done when i wake up

Are you zipping the file, and renaming it to something that does not get flagged ?

if someone actually replies with they want it I can look at my internet history from last week and find the link I downloaded for the original HS release. As in the 10.13 full installer. Some might call this taking a chance downloading something like that from an unknown source but I ensure it worked for me and is virus free lol

I literally spent like maybe 15mins TOPS searching with Google to find it. It cannot be that hard to for others to search too

Then with 10.13 installed you can update to any point release you want to

TNM

Thanks for posting the installer! I had no problem downloading it from the Google drive. FYI, here's my situation. I have a 2012 era MacBook Pro that I wanted to put Pro Tools Untimate 2018.7 on. It had Mac OS 10.13.6 (the current version, as of 28 Aug 2018) installed. As per my conversations with Avid, I needed to downgrade to 10.13.3. Here's the drill, in case anyone else needs to do this.

1) If you want to do a clean install, but want to restore settings, files, or software, make a Time Machine backup of the internal drive on the machine you want to change.

2) Download the installer from this thread, and install it on whatever mac you used to download it, so it shows up in the Application Folder

3) Make a bootable installer on (at least) a 12GB USB Drive, following the instructions here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372

4) Mount the USB installer (and the Time Machine backup drive, if you're doing a clean install) on the machine you want to change.

5) Restart the machine holding the option key. Choose the USB drive as the startup drive.

6) You will then be in setup mode and will be able to access certain apps, which are fairly self-explanatory.

7) I wanted a clean install, so I went into Disk Utility and reformatted the internal drive.

6) Then install the OS onto the internal drive

7) Restore your settings and whatever software and files you want from the Time Machine Backup

8) After your machine is set up and running, Go on the Apple website: and find the 10.13.3 updater. https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1954?locale=en_US Since you're upgrading from 10.13.2 make sure you pick the right one.

9) Run the updater and you're done!

Thank you very much!

So, considering you joined also my thread, do you suggest me to install this instead Sierra?

I mean, will it work better? Better performance with low buffers etc?

you say doesn't work with MBP 2018, but it will work with MBP mid 2014? (I've installed High Sierra since it came out, but only in the internet partition, the other one has Mavericks)

Thank you

I called Apple and they couldn't give me the installer xD (I'm from Europe, so here the service is a bit different)

They told me to use yours and they thank'd you for the service xD

I asked Apple just because I was curious to see if it was so easy to have it, as some people say, but apparently here in Europe is a problem

So, thank you so much again for providing it
