![]() This Mac was original built to run OS X 10.8.4. I recently tried do this for the 2013 iMac and Yosemite downloaded. I do not believe you can currently find Yosemite in the Apps Store.Īnother option would be to try downloading OS X using macOS Recovery. Of course, to download from the Apps Store you would have needed to purchase (for free) when Yosemite first was released. So, if you can download Yosemite from the Apps Store, you would get that last release OS X 10.10.5, which should work. My best estimate would be that OS X 10.10.3 would work, but OS X 10.10.2 or older would not. This 2013 iMac came with the latest version of macOS available at the time, even though that version of macOS did not exist when the machine was made. I assume you expect the 2015 Mac to arrive with High Sierra installed? I state this because in 2015, I could have purchased a 2015 iMac and instead opted for a 2013 model. However, if you purchased one brand new today that ships with High Sierra, your odds drop to less than 50/50 in my opinion. You'd also be 99+% sure if you bought an original one that shipped with Yosemite but has since been upgraded. The only way to be 100% sure would be to purchase one of the original ones that hasn't been updated beyond Yosemite, although I suspect that won't be easy to find. ![]() I suppose you could ask Apple if you could return it within the return period on the basis that you can't install Yosemite, but they're likely to tell you up front that it's not going to be possible. In other words the only way to find out with 100% certainty is to try it, but I'd err on the side of caution and assume this won't be possible. Unfortunately, some years back Apple started automatically including firmware updates (if/when required) within macOS updates/upgrades and I'm not aware of any current consolidated list of these updates, so it's not easy to check which devices had firmware updates and what those updates meant. So, installing an older version of macOS depends entirely on whether there's been a firmware update on that model. My guess is getting one with El Capitan pre-installed is going to be a remote possibility at best, and even then that'd be based on whether your location has older stock. I've just had confirmation that models being manufactured now ship directly from the factory with macOS High Sierra installed. ![]() I will check again in a couple of hours and update this answer as soon as I can. However, I am based in Australia and it could be just a case of how fast production batches are selling. Last time I checked (admittedly a few months ago - early this year so well after macOS High Sierra was released) these models were still shipping with 10.11.2. You could also contact Apple and see what they say.ġ. Hopefully someone else who has tried this can chime in here and give you a more definitive answer. My inclination would be to say it isn’t going to be possible, but in this rare case it may be. you wouldn’t be able to do it from Recovery Mode, you’d have to try booting from an external installer or try using Target Disk Mode). However, I don’t recall seeing any firmware updates for this model, so it may be possible to do what you want manually (i.e. Typically this would mean you can’t install a version of macOS earlier than the version it actually ships with and I suspect that would still be the case here. However, my understanding is that current models ship with macOS El Capitan 10.11.2. Everyone else has bumpkis.Originally these models shipped with macOS Yosemite 10.10.3. Studio has had several revisions in the last few years. Many Carrara users are worried that they will be the next orphan. Hexagon is a very nice modeler and would seem to be a natural to keep improving to add more tools to Studio, but many believe it to be in the same boat as Bryce. Bryce doesn't make that amount of money that Studio does just based on the items that are always at the top of the list for sales. Most of my 3D time is taken up by Studio as it most of Daz's time. Bryce would be nice to have to use again, but it's not a deal breaker. Daz Studio is amazing and I use it every day. It's pretty clear that the resources at Daz are being put in Daz Studio. It's not even 64-bit and any application that any developer wants to continue to be viable in 2015, about to be 2016, should at least be 64-bit. I have nothing more to go by that the empirical evidence of lack of movement on this product. "Bryce being done on the Mac"? Is that an opinion or is this something you definitely know for sure.Ĭould this issue not be possibley fixed in the future?
