Seems like Apple will only let you download the recent one, but I am not sure.Ī great answer can be just a link to some good article or a similar question on this forum.

I am not sure where is a good place to download the update, especially if not the last one. I have several of these, about 80GB on my MacBook Pro. I am not sure the cloud services I am using, like Dropbox, will not work after the update. Or non-Apple programs, like Mathematica 9, or MikTex. I am afraid that after upgrade some apps won't work or will be missing. I heard it is not a good idea to upgrade to the last OS (possible unresolved bugs, incompatible with some of my older programs). Here are some comments revealing my ignorance, to help you Mac experts guide me: Question: Can you give some advice/tips how to best perform this task? This is the 1st time I am doing this since I acquired this laptop and would like to do it myself (we don't have good Apple support here). Otherwise it works perfectly for all my needs (a research mathematician). The only reason is that some new programs and devices (eg Wacom tablet) are not compatible with Yosemite. Get it for PowerPC or Intel.I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, early 2015) with OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite). Note that support ended for all releases listed below and hence they won't receive any further updates. You can find recommendations for the respective operating system version below. We provide older releases for users who wish to deploy our software on legacy releases of Mac OS X. Older versions of Mac OS X and VLC media player The last version is 3.0.4 and can be found here. Support for NPAPI plugins was removed from all modern web browsers, so VLC's plugin is no longer maintained. You can also choose to install a Universal Binary.

If you need help in finding the correct package matching your Mac's processor architecture, please see this official support document by Apple. Note that the first generation of Intel-based Macs equipped with Core Solo or Core Duo processors is no longer supported. Previous devices are supported by older releases. It runs on any Mac with a 64-bit Intel processor or an Apple Silicon chip. VLC media player requires Mac OS X 10.7.5 or later.
