Hey guys, does anyone know where I can get a High Sierra 10.13.1 full install ? I want the first version of High Sierra. I use Display Link and anything from 10.13.4 to 10.13.6 disables it....... I think I found it on the internet. Thanks !

I want the first version of High Sierra.

That was 10.13 — I can assure you that nobody wants that one.


You really want the 10.13.3 installer. I have it but it's too big for my DropBox account. If you have GoogleDrive or FTP, I can get it to you.

Thanks anyways Mike, but I found it on Apples site 10.13.3, Anthony

Link? No reason for me to archive a 5.8GB copy if Apple will.

The updates and combo updates are all over the place but I’m not seeing the 10.13.3 full installer.

Newsflash:

I heard back in September about a 10.13.6 installation file (not an update). Gave up trying to get it from Apple and resorted to torrenting it (first time I've done this for a Mac-OS-installation file). The .DMG is 5.22GB zipped, and it worked like a charm, meaning that I could trash the 13.1 installation file and all the redundant updates.

Whenever I can, I do this before an integer update - check to see if the final point update is eventually replaced by Apple with a full-install one. Apple did it for Sierra (10.12.6) and HS (10.13.6), but I can't speak for earlier integer-OS versions.

Obviously I only seek to do this if the final point update works well for me. If, say, a .4 version is more-stable than whatever the final one is, I'll keep all the Combo-update files.

EDIT:
Apanacci, if you fail to find the files you need in the end, I could do some searching for you and mail you the torrent links for whatever you need should I be able to find them. You'd simply need to install something like the small-footprint-and-free Transmission app (I highly recommend this one for Mac) and you'd be good-to-go.

This should be your last resort 'though; if there's a way to get what you need from Mike or Apple, by all means do so!

Hey Monkey man, thanks ! I have 10.13.6 and it disabled Display Link. I have 4 monitors, 2 are USB and they will not work in 10.13.4 to .10.13.6. I found 10.13.1 loaded it in and then upped to 10.13.3. I am going to stay there. I jumped in with 10.13.6 and got a big surprise. I am always careful about moving forward but this one got me.

Hey Mike, sorry I do not have the link for 10.13.3 I got it off of the App Store I think. If I come across it will let you know

That makes no sense but it's not a big deal since I have the 10.13.3 installer archived.

Those of us enabling monitors through USB are using DisplayLink boxes. If we can't update to Mojave (2010 iMac), 10.13.3 is the last OS we can run.

Updating to 10.13.4 is how I accidentally discovered APFS Snapshots. This allowed me to roll back in an earlier state in a few minutes rather than the 8 hours or so for a Time Machine Restore:

Hey Mike , they say that Display Link works in Mojave. There is a driver download for that on the website. I think now I got it off of Apples website not App store. No matter though.

Oh yea. DisplayLink works in Mojave. No problem there.

Mojave can be installed on many Macs with incompatible GPUs like my 2010 iMac. There's a hack. I installed it on a test drive and my other monitor came back to life without downloading the latest DisplayLink driver.

The bad news is that, even though I got it working, Mojave is absolutely useless on Macs that don't support graphics acceleration over 10.14 — like mine.

I plan to buy an iMac Pro in the next few days. Even though my DL box will work on it, there will be no need ... I think. I've heard interesting things about older monitors on these and DL may just keep me going till I get some 27" 4K side monitors. I'll know soon enough.

The issues for me have nothing to do with DP at the moment. My day gig and some of the apps I use are giving me grief till I upgrade the OS.
