[SOLVED] Can you download or buy on eBay a flash drive with Mac OSX yosemite

toben67 · Mar 25, 2015

Just curious since I don't have or know any one with Mac OS yosemite

McHenryB · Mar 25, 2015

Any such download or drive would be a pirated copy.

toben67 :

You can buy flash drive Yosemite installers from Apple. Why do you need eBay?

McHenryB · Apr 6, 2015

bmacsys :

No you can't. You can buy it from the App Store or you can take your Mac to an Apple Store, but you can't buy it on physical media (from Apple).

I got mine from a friend who ran a virtual machine with OS X Yosemite. Is that a possibility?

toben67 · Apr 7, 2015

Rsamson :

Dumb question but whats a virtual macine? :??:

McHenryB · Apr 8, 2015

Rsamson :

In that case you have a pirated copy. Yosemite is supplied with a non-transferable licence. And if your friend is running OS X in a VM (not on a Mac) then that copy is also pirated.

McHenryB :

I don't know anyone with a mac yet I found this.

McHenryB · Apr 9, 2015

Congratulations - you found the most notorious pirated version of OS X.

Once again; Tom's Hardware does not condone the use of pirated software. Neither does anyone with a sense of moral responsibility.

Rsamson · Apr 16, 2015

I didn't take his copy. I logged into my apple id through his vm and downloaded the Yosemite I have offered for free with my last mac air purchase. condescend elswhere mchenry.

McHenryB · Apr 16, 2015

Rsamson :

Why didn't you just download it on your Mac Air? :??:

Rsamson · Apr 16, 2015

it was stolen.

McHenryB · Apr 16, 2015

Back to square one. You don't own a Mac so the Yosemite download is illegal.

It's quite simple: if you own a Mac you can legally download OS X. If you don't, you can't. It doesn't matter whether you never bought a Mac, you sold your Mac, you gave away your Mac, or your Mac was stolen. No Mac, no licence to download.

(Pardon the condescension.

i dont care. go argue your virtues with someone who does in the Tom's Hardware hackintosh community. and, for the record, square one was me refuting your ignorant assumption that I copied someones pirated version of osx. I pirated my own license and built a stunning pc around it.

McHenryB · Apr 16, 2015

Rsamson :

I'm glad that at least we can agree on something.

toben67 · Apr 16, 2015

McHenryB :

As long as if I don't get in trouble with police I'm fine I don't care for Apple

toben67 · Apr 16, 2015

Rsamson :

Where did you pirate it?

Rsamson · Apr 17, 2015

I signed into my apple id from a friends computer and created a bootable copy of Yosemite from the app store. If you'e building a hackintosh I suggest going to the TonyMac site as they have detailed guides.
