[Avid-L2] reminder: grab mac OS now

 

As a reminder to all my friends on the list:

Grab the new Mac OS (Yosemite) while it's still in its .0 stage, and burn your USB stick now.
Download from the app store - but make sure to quit out of the installer before it actually installs on to your machine.
Then follow the instructions here to create a USB installer to keep for later:

Now that you have this .0 version - any time you need to install a specific version of the OS, you can start with this .0, and run a 'combo update' that you will find on Apple's support pages.
For example - if you needed 10.9.2 - you would find that here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1726
(google is great at finding these links when you phrase it like this 'combo update 10.9.2')

Having the .0 stored away for later use is great when Avid wants a .2 version, but all you can download from the Apple store is a .3 or .4 version.

Please note, I'm not suggesting installing Yosemite on editing machines that you want Avid to support right now! ;)
