  • App Store changes coming in iOS 17.4 to the EU don't blow the walls off of the garden

    While I have appreciated the benefit and security of the Apple App Stores for many years, I am glad Apple is being challenged and is having to adjust to pressure from outside it's walled garden.

    While I appreciate the efforts Apple put into ensure consumer downloads are safe and fair to the user, the developers should have choice about their distribution routes.

    I will continue to use the Apple App Stores on all my Apple platforms but I respect the individual choice for others to choose other stores or payment methods, as with all things balance and options are always better than a monoculture for progress and growth!

    Don't forget the Macintosh team with their Jolly Roger flag, the privateers of the Apple campus :-)

  • If you've got an old macOS install image, it will probably stop working today

    You know there is a very easy fix here!

    The installer looks at its certificates and the systems date. So as long as the systems date is older than the expiring cert the installer won't be the wiser!

    As an example I just installed Sierra on an old 2011 iMac. I altered the systems Date & Time setting to manual and then back dated it to Jan 2017. Restarted the system and then ran the OS installer USB thumb drive I've setup. Once done reset the Date and Time to automatic and its done!
    Workarounds (like yours) are good to know in a pinch. The fix is to download the images, with the new certificate, because setting back a system clock can have unintended consequences.


    Mike you said ‘ The fix is to download the images, with the new certificate,‘ sorry if I am being dense, but how do you do this now the installers are no longer available?
