Posted on |



Mac OS X Jaguar (version 10.2) is the third major release of macOS, Apple's desktop and server operating system.It superseded Mac OS X 10.1 and preceded Mac OS X Panther.The operating system was released on August 23, 2002 either for single-computer installations, and in a 'family pack,' which allowed five installations on separate computers in one household. Apple Mac Os X free download - Apple Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Apple Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 Supplemental Update, Apple Java for OS X 10.6, and many more programs. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard is an upgrade to the previous version of OS X Leopard. This update does not have stacks of new features, rather overall improvements and efficiency upgrades. This version of Apple's OS also has a reduced footprint. Key features include. Airfoil for Mac 3. Final Version 3 (Mac OS X 10.6, 10.5): ↓ 3.5.7 Mac OS X 10.4: ↓ 3.3.2 Note: The code portion of Airfoil for Mac 3 license keys begins with TX40.If you have an Airfoil for Mac 3 license key, you can upgrade now.

An installation error occurs sometimes for when upgrading from OS X Snow Leopard to OS X Lion “Can’t download the additional components needed to install Mac OS X” – Check your network configuration as the install needs to pull down software over the internet.

But the network configuration is OK.!

Check that Software Update can connect directly to Apple Software Update Servers not a custom internal one, remove any Managed Preferences if it is a managed host.

Option 1

If that still doesn’t get rid of the message I have found on a device that the drive needed to be reformatted – the only thing different about the drive I was trying to install to was that it had a Boot Camp partition on it The Boot Camp partition might be a red herring but certainly reformatting the disk solved the issue.

So:

[unordered_list style=”green-dot”]

  • clone the main HD drive to an external disk use CCC – link below
  • boot from the external
  • erase/reformat the main HD – use HFS Extended Journaled
  • clone back the main HD from the external
  • reboot from the main drive
  • run the installation upgrade again

If you don’t care whats on the disk just erase it and run the upgrade, I wanted to keep all the data intact in my example, hence the clone back.

Another potential solution is to remove any RAM over 4GB run the install and then put the additional RAM back in after – even then try and limit the RAM slots to one, so not 2GB in each – rather 1 slot with 4GB.
