#Downgrade mac os mojave to x software#
We're talking about the initial recovery software plus a 5 GB Mavericks installer download. That's Internet Recovery telling you it's downloading from Apple's servers.īecause OS X Internet Recovery is, literally, restoring over the Internet, it takes longer to work, since it has to download everything from Apple's servers to get going. You'll know if you're in OS X Internet Recovery if you see a spinning globe on your Mac screen, with a progress bar showing a countdown in minutes. To access OS X Internet Recovery, hold down the command, option, and R keys simultaneously on boot. Some Mac models that shipped before Lion will work with OS X Internet Recovery too (with a firmware patch) - Apple has a list on their support site. Mac models introduced since OS X Lion debuted in 2011 have the ability to restore themselves as long as they're connected to the Internet. The alternative solution is to use OS X Internet Recovery instead.
What's more, it would hang indefinitely when it got to the authentication stage. Each time it would tell me it wanted to reinstall 10.10 instead. I tried using this method myself on my Yosemite machine, but I couldn't get it to work. I've seen it written about in plenty of places, and I spoke to a few of you on Twitter who had done it too. Some folks experimenting with Yosemite have been able to boot into the Mac's recovery system (accessed holding down the command and R keys on boot) and reinstalling Mavericks from there.
