In my area Xfinity has free wifi spots all over the place for Xfinity customers, but as already said, we don't know the OP's situation. I've not heard that McD's speed is 4Mps, but I'll take your word for that. Not sure of that, but I seem to recall reading that somewhere.ĭownloading from a cafe would depend on the cafe and their offerings. And I think that the download will resume at the last good data on a reconnection. But 5 hours, overnight, is not excessive if the connection is consistent. You are right that we don't know the OP's situation in detail. I used to run these downloads over night, but often the connection dropped during the download and I had to try again.Īt my other location, the speed is fiber to the house at over 1 Gps, download there is less than a minute. The closest one to me is over an hour each way.įor me, at the "3 Mps house". I assume it's the latter.Īpple store sounds like a good solution if there is one reasonably close.

Some of these places have time limits for how long you can use their WiFi before they cut you off - I'm sure the intent of providing free WiFi for their customers was not to download complete operating systems.Īs to the friend suggestion.one thing I'm wondering about - could one download the macOS using a PC with Windows or does the friend have to have a Mac. At that speed it would take almost 5 hours to download 6 GigsĪt McDonald's the download speed is supposedly 4 Mps, that would still make the download a 3 1/2 hour exercise assuming the 4 Mbs can be maintained to the one computer. We don't know enough about the OP's specific situation, but this is a pretty big file we're talking about.Īt one of my houses the best I can get is DSL at 3 Mps download. Yes, it's a big download, but that's part of the price of making sure you have the REAL Apple product.

Note that Adobe and Microsoft products don't migrate well because of registration processes from those two companies, so be prepared to re-register those products, maybe even having to completely reinstall them.Īnd for the other thread, if security is a real issue for you, go NOWHERE but Apple for the download as there are malicious characters out there who doctor the installation files to gain access to systems by weakening the Apple security and installing malware along with the OS. If you don't and decide later to migrate manually, you may have to fix a lot of permissions to get everything to work well. If you want to have everything just as it is now, take that opportunity. You will be offered a chance to restore from a backup by Migration Assistant during that installation process. Boot from the Diskmaker X drive and erase/reformat the internal drive and finish the installation.

Test that it boots properly before you start. Then use something like Diskmaker ( DiskMaker X ) to create a bootable USB installer.
#Diskmaker x mojave update#
If you really want to do a clean install, as you indicated in the other thread you posted on this topic ( Security of High Sierra with Latest 2019-003 update vs Mojave 10.14.5 ), your best bet is to do what Sly says, download from Apple, then cancel out of the installation and look in the Applications folder for the installer.
