If you own the game, you can access a Server Logs menu which allows you to type Lua commands while the game is running. Interestingly enough, the F1-F7 debug menus are the only remnants remaining of Roblox's legacy hard-coded UI system, from the ages prior to late 2009. With Mojave, you can mute the colors of the interface, so you don’t find yourself blinded when working at night thanks to the Dark Mode. Furthermore, the Dynamic Desktop feature changes the image on your desktop to match the time of the day. As an operating system, Mac OS has always tried to make things sleek and minimalist on your desktop. Free roblox download for mac lion.

So, you’ve decided to download an older version of Mac OS X. There are many reasons that could point you to this radical decision. To begin with, some of your apps may not be working properly (or simply crash) on newer operating systems. Also, you may have noticed your Mac’s performance went down right after the last update. Finally, if you want to run a parallel copy of Mac OS X on a virtual machine, you too will need a working installation file of an older Mac OS X. Further down we’ll explain where to get one and what problems you may face down the road.
A list of all Mac OS X versions
We’ll be repeatedly referring to these Apple OS versions below, so it’s good to know the basic macOS timeline.
Cheetah 10.0 | Puma 10.1 | Jaguar 10.2 |
Panther 10.3 | Tiger 10.4 | Leopard 10.5 |
Snow Leopard 10.6 | Lion 10.7 | Mountain Lion 10.8 |
Mavericks 10.9 | Yosemite 10.10 | El Capitan 10.11 |
Sierra 10.12 | High Sierra 10.13 | Mojave 10.14 |
Catalina 10.15 |
STEP 1. Prepare your Mac for installation
Given your Mac isn’t new and is filled with data, you will probably need enough free space on your Mac. This includes not just space for the OS itself but also space for other applications and your user data. One more argument is that the free space on your disk translates into virtual memory so your apps have “fuel” to operate on. The chart below tells you how much free space is needed.
Note, that it is recommended that you install OS on a clean drive. Next, you will need enough disk space available, for example, to create Recovery Partition. Here are some ideas to free up space on your drive:
- Uninstall large unused apps
- Empty Trash Bin and Downloads
- Locate the biggest files on your computer:
Go to Finder > All My Files > Arrange by size
Then you can move your space hoggers onto an external drive or a cloud storage.
If you aren’t comfortable with cleaning the Mac manually, there are some nice automatic “room cleaners”. Our favorite is CleanMyMac as it’s most simple to use of all. It deletes system junk, old broken apps, and the rest of hidden junk on your drive.
Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.4 - 10.8 (free version)
Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.9 (free version)
Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.10 - 10.14 (free version)
STEP 2. Get a copy of Mac OS X download
Normally, it is assumed that updating OS is a one-way road. That’s why going back to a past Apple OS version is problematic. The main challenge is to download the OS installation file itself, because your Mac may already be running a newer version. If you succeed in downloading the OS installation, your next step is to create a bootable USB or DVD and then reinstall the OS on your computer.
How to download older Mac OS X versions via the App Store
If you once had purchased an old version of Mac OS X from the App Store, open it and go to the Purchased tab. There you’ll find all the installers you can download. However, it doesn’t always work that way. The purchased section lists only those operating systems that you had downloaded in the past. But here is the path to check it:
- Click the App Store icon.
- Click Purchases in the top menu.
- Scroll down to find the preferred OS X version.
- Click Download.
This method allows you to download Mavericks and Yosemite by logging with your Apple ID — only if you previously downloaded them from the Mac App Store.
Without App Store: Download Mac OS version as Apple Developer
If you are signed with an Apple Developer account, you can get access to products that are no longer listed on the App Store. If you desperately need a lower OS X version build, consider creating a new Developer account among other options. The membership cost is $99/year and provides a bunch of perks unavailable to ordinary users.
Nevertheless, keep in mind that if you visit developer.apple.com/downloads, you can only find 10.3-10.6 OS X operating systems there. Newer versions are not available because starting Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.7, the App Store has become the only source of updating Apple OS versions.
Purchase an older version of Mac operating system
You can purchase a boxed or email version of past Mac OS X directly from Apple. Both will cost you around $20. For the reason of being rather antiquated, Snow Leopard and earlier Apple versions can only be installed from DVD.
Buy a boxed edition of Snow Leopard 10.6
Get an email copy of Lion 10.7
Get an email copy of Mountain Lion 10.8
The email edition comes with a special download code you can use for the Mac App Store. Note, that to install the Lion or Mountain Lion, your Mac needs to be running Snow Leopard so you can install the newer OS on top of it.
How to get macOS El Capitan download
If you are wondering if you can run El Capitan on an older Mac, rejoice as it’s possible too. But before your Mac can run El Capitan it has to be updated to OS X 10.6.8. So, here are main steps you should take:
1. Install Snow Leopard from install DVD.
2. Update to 10.6.8 using Software Update.
3. Download El Capitan here.
“I can’t download an old version of Mac OS X”
If you have a newer Mac, there is no physical option to install Mac OS versions older than your current Mac model. For instance, if your MacBook was released in 2014, don’t expect it to run any OS released prior of that time, because older Apple OS versions simply do not include hardware drivers for your Mac.
But as it often happens, workarounds are possible. There is still a chance to download the installation file if you have an access to a Mac (or virtual machine) running that operating system. For example, to get an installer for Lion, you may ask a friend who has Lion-operated Mac or, once again, set up a virtual machine running Lion. Then you will need to prepare an external drive to download the installation file using OS X Utilities.
After you’ve completed the download, the installer should launch automatically, but you can click Cancel and copy the file you need. Below is the detailed instruction how to do it.
STEP 3. Install older OS X onto an external drive
The following method allows you to download Mac OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks.
- Start your Mac holding down Command + R.
- Prepare a clean external drive (at least 10 GB of storage).
- Within OS X Utilities, choose Reinstall OS X.
- Select external drive as a source.
- Enter your Apple ID.
Now the OS should start downloading automatically onto the external drive. After the download is complete, your Mac will prompt you to do a restart, but at this point, you should completely shut it down. Now that the installation file is “captured” onto your external drive, you can reinstall the OS, this time running the file on your Mac.
- Boot your Mac from your standard drive.
- Connect the external drive.
- Go to external drive > OS X Install Data.
Locate InstallESD.dmg disk image file — this is the file you need to reinstall Lion OS X. The same steps are valid for Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
How to downgrade a Mac running later macOS versions
If your Mac runs macOS Sierra 10.12 or macOS High Sierra 10.13, it is possible to revert it to the previous system if you are not satisfied with the experience. You can do it either with Time Machine or by creating a bootable USB or external drive.

Before you do it, the best advice is to back your Mac up so your most important files stay intact. In addition to that, it makes sense to clean up your Mac from old system junk files and application leftovers. The easiest way to do it is to run CleanMyMac X on your machine (download it for free here).
Visit your local Apple Store to download older OS X version
If none of the options to get older OS X worked, pay a visit to nearest local Apple Store. They should have image installations going back to OS Leopard and earlier. You can also ask their assistance to create a bootable USB drive with the installation file. So here you are. We hope this article has helped you to download an old version of Mac OS X.

Really quick heads up on the unused textures from the 2007 leak
All of these textures already existed on the site, uploaded around 2009 via ROBLOX, and they were here before the leak was released, so please don't recite sections saying they are from the leak itself.

- That's the ROBLOX client from 2008. It's version is 0.3.809.0. The earliest 2007 client we have is 0.3.488.0. The most obvious part of this is that the object dialog does not exist and has been replaced with the Insert Object box, which was introduced in '08.

Regarding content that still exists on Roblox's servers
Should these even be documented as unused content? Here's some things I'd like to note about them:
- Most of the data was never stored in the client's files. If they were, they should be considered removed content.
- Even if the data isn't explicitly used by the Roblox client on its own, the nature of the client as a sandbox means that unless the data cannot be pulled from Roblox's servers and loaded by the client (Studio or Player) without hacking, it's technically not unused.
Video (talk) 17:04, 18 February 2020 (EST)
- I'd say it's important to keep those for a few reasons.
- Just because it's accessible by users doesn't mean it's being used for Roblox's original, official intent. Could've been planned for an on-site item which any user could wear, or part of one of their official games on the platform.
- Branching from that, a lot of these assets aren't supposed to be found by users. It is technically possible that if the user stumbled across an item's ID out of the millions of IDs on the platform, they could technically load it up in the engine, but they weren't supposed to find these assets. There were some pretty decent steps to documenting it all with a recent community project to scan through millions of Roblox's IDs from 2006-2015 to find official assets, but that took nearly a year to get everything scanned from that field.
- Lastly, in terms of sponsored assets, used or not, a user isn't supposed to add them to their own games unless they've got permission from the owner of that IP. There are unused assets such as items for the Croods, Lego Star Wars, and Lunchables, but the user was never supposed to see them, and if they do, they're not supposed to use them.
- The assets may be a bit different from the sort of unused things seen on other games featured on TCRF, but in regards to Roblox specifically, it would be considered unused by most of the people on the platform which know about those assets. I'd say maybe a sub-page noting the difference between the unused content in the engine's files, and the unused content on the servers, would be a good way to handle this situation?

'Test' menu in Mac Roblox client?
When I launched the Mac Roblox client directly, just before it tries to open Roblox's main games page, there is a menu item in the menu bar labeled 'Test'. However, it disappears too quickly for me to click on it (or get a screenshot of it), and launching the client while disconnected from the internet doesn't show the menu item at all. Obviously, it doesn't appear when playing a Roblox game normally. Any ideas on how that elusive menu item could be clicked? (maybe hacking the client to force the menu item to appear at all times?) PS: I think this menu item is exclusive to the Mac client since Windows doesn't have a menu bar. steven12398 (talk) 01:15, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Grabbing Image assets at original resolution
When downloading Image assets off Roblox, it's important to use the correct method. The previews on the site are always resized to 420x420 regardless of what the original size is, and recently uploaded assets have occasionally been left with broken previews, with garbled graphics and images unrelated to the actual asset.
There's two different ways to download the image at original resolution. The first would be to go into Roblox Studio, place all of your Image assets onto regular parts as decals, and going to File > Advanced > Export as Obj. This will export the current Workspace, including your texture assets as .png images.
The second method would be to use Roblox's assetdelivery API. There's always the unfortunate possibility that Roblox could change this API in a way which would prevent us from downloading Roblox-made assets, but it's incredibly useful for not only recovering Image assets, but many other Roblox assets as well, such as accessories, meshes, and open source games. It also allows you to choose which version you wish to download, and while there's usually only one version, there may be older versions of an asset which were overwritten.
This is the image asset for the Beaming with Pride face, which should serve as a good example here. Right clicking and saving the image preview would give you the incorrect 420x420 preview, but using the assetdelivery API, we can download the latest version, add the .png extension, and get the full 512x592 texture. Downloading version 1 shows that the AssetID was originally a copy of the Fall Shoulder Owl Pal texture.
