Wanting to get High Sierra but Big Sur comes up instead #48

Closed luisthespaniard closed 2 years ago

luisthespaniard commented 3 years ago

Hiya,

I am trying to get high sierra to work on my vm. I have installed the latest macinabox and in the drop down list I have selected the high sierra opperating system. when in the disk management it says that it has installed the big sur operating system. Can you help in fixing this please? The reason why i am wanting High Sierra is because i am running a gtx 1080ti.

Thanks Luis luisquinteromusic@outlook.com

Hi Luis, I noticed this same problem tonight. Have you had any luck?

luisthespaniard commented 3 years ago

Hiya Tony,

Unfortunately I have not found a fix for this yet. There is not many resources out there or anyone to speak to for this macinabox plugin.

Please let me know if you have a fix

Best Luis

I suspect Apple may have changed how the downloads work. I haven’t tried method 2 yet though.

Yeah that could be a possibility. What is the method 2 if you don't mind me asking ? Is it to do with having the mac ios in an iso file?

vatsalyaagarwal commented 3 years ago

This happened with me as well, selected catalina and it installed big sur

Just incase anyone else comes here, using method 2 allowed me to install High Sierra

luisthespaniard commented 3 years ago

Do you mind me asking what is method two please ?

When installing the macinabox docker container, you can select at the botton one drop down to choose "method 1" or "method 2"

Method 2 doesn't seem to be working at the moment either. No downloads happening today. Is there a way to check on the download status or where the temporary files are held?

trashdad commented 2 years ago

Ok I figured out a DIY solution that you can change yourself, for anyone finding this in the future:

After you change it to Method 2 and apply, and while the container is running, click the icon on the docker tab and click console.

Type

vi ../Macinabox/unraid.sh

Go to line 250 and press i to edit

change 001-86606 to NEW PRODUCT ID SEE BELOW

press escape then :wq to save

So I found this blog: https://www.bresink.com/Blog/2021/blog-2021-12.html

Based on this, I wanted Big Sur 11.6.2 (product ID: 002-42341) - the product IDs can be found for each release there and you just need to manually scroll through since I can't seem to figure out the right combination of search terms to make a Google search work.

Good luck and I hope this works for you until SI1 fixes these!
