How to download macOS Catalina installer without Mac App Store. By Imran Hussain. Oct 7, 2019 13:10 EDT. Here is how you can use this app to get a copy of macOS Catalina.
- If your files are currently on a PC, follow the PC migration steps instead.
- If you're moving content from a Time Machine backup, follow the steps to restore your Mac from a backup instead.
Get ready
- Install all available software updates on both computers. If your old Mac isn't using OS X Lion or later, and your new Mac isn't using OS X Mavericks or later, follow the Mountain Lion migration steps instead.
- If both computers are using macOS Sierra or later, place them near each other with Wi-Fi turned on. If either one is using OS X El Capitan or earlier, make sure that both are on the same network.
- On your old Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sharing. Make sure that a name appears in the Computer Name field.
Use Migration Assistant
You're now ready to use Migration Assistant to move your files from the old Mac to the new one.
On your new Mac
- Open Migration Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Then click Continue.
- When asked how you want to transfer your information, select the option to transfer from a Mac, Time Machine backup, or startup disk. Then click Continue.
On your old Mac
- Open Migration Assistant, then click Continue.
- When asked how you want to transfer your information, select the option to transfer to another Mac. Then click Continue.
On your new Mac
When asked to select a Mac, Time Machine backup, or other startup disk, select the other Mac. Then click Continue.
On your old Mac
If you see a security code, make sure that it's the same code shown on your new Mac. Then click Continue.
On your new Mac
- Select the information to transfer.
In this example, John Appleseed is a macOS user account. If it has the same name as an account already on your new Mac, you're prompted to either rename the old account or replace the one on your new Mac. If you rename, the old account will appear as a separate user on your new Mac, with a separate home folder and login. If you replace, the old account will delete and then replace the account on your new Mac, including everything in its home folder. - Click Continue to start the transfer. Large transfers might need several hours to complete.
- After Migration Assistant is done, log in to the migrated account on your new Mac to see its files.

Technical Q&A QA1633
Q: How can I create easy-to-read short links to the App Store for my apps and company?
A: The iTunes and App Store apps generate URLs for all apps and companies available in the App Store and Mac App Store by clicking the disclosure triangle next to the app's price (or by right-clicking/control-clicking the app icon) and selecting 'Copy link', or by using iTunes Link Maker. These URLs look similar to Listing 1.
Listing 1 Standard App Store Links.
![Store Store](https://virtlabs.tech/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/0012.png)
These URLs are great for linking to your app or company page in the App Store or Mac App Store from your website or inside your app, or anywhere you don't need to type or speak the URL. As a rule, always use these standard links when driving users to your app from your digital marketing communications.
Important: If you're using itunes.apple.com URLs in your app, see Launching the App Store from an iPhone application for important information.
You can also create easy-to-read links to your app using App Store Short Links, which use the AppStore.com base URL plus a specific form of your app or company name. These short links are ideal for use in offline communications materials like print ads, TV spots, app trailers, radio ads and billboards where you need a memorable URL.
Note: Previously, short links were available using the itunes.com URL. AppStore.com replaces itunes.com. iTunes.com links will continue to work but should be updated as soon as feasible.
There are three types of App Store Short Links, in two forms, one for iOS apps, another for Mac Apps:
Company Name
- iOS: http://appstore.com/<companyname> for example, http://appstore.com/apple
- Mac: http://appstore.com/mac/<companyname> for example, http://appstore.com/mac/apple
App Name
- iOS: http://appstore.com/<appname> for example, http://appstore.com/keynote
- Mac: http://appstore.com/mac/<appname> for example, http://appstore.com/mac/keynote
App by Company Mac apps i pray.
- iOS: http://appstore.com/<companyname>/<appname> for example, http://appstore.com/apple/keynote
- Mac: http://appstore.com/mac/<companyname>/<appname> for example, http://appstore.com/mac/apple/keynote
Most companies and apps have a canonical App Store Short Link. This canonical URL is created by changing or removing certain characters (many of which are illegal or have special meaning in a URL (for example, '&')).
To create an App Store Short Link, apply the following rules to your company or app name:
- Remove all whitespace
- Convert all characters to lower-case
- Remove all copyright (©), trademark (™) and registered mark (®) symbols
- Replace ampersands ('&') with 'and'
- Remove most punctuation (See Listing 2 for the set)
- Replace accented and other 'decorated' characters (ü, å, etc.) with their elemental character (u, a, etc.)
- Leave all other characters as-is.
Listing 2 Punctuation characters that must be removed.
Below are some examples to demonstrate the conversion that takes place.

All URLs are accessible worldwide and will direct the customer to their respective country's App Store. Because of the possibility of name conflicts or other errors, URLs which have multiple results, for example <http://appstore.com/airhockey>, will return a search page. Using unique names for your apps will help prevent this.
If you experience incorrect results (for example, a URL which doesn't go where you expect it would) or if there are characters you would like to see removed or changed, please file a bug report via <http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter> with the following information:
Mac App Store Download Free
- Full current or desired URL, for example, http://appstore.com/mysuperapp
- Google calendar 2019. Applicable countries
- The iTunes-generated URL to the desired landing page, which you get by clicking the disclosure triangle next to the app's price (or by right-clicking/control-clicking the app icon) and selecting 'Copy link' (for example, http://itunes.apple.com/us/app..)
These App Store Short Links are provided as a convenience and are not guaranteed to link to a particular app or company. Be sure to test your URLs before using them in any marketing or other public materials. If there are naming conflicts, continue using the standard itunes.apple.com URLs, which contain a unique numerical identifier within the URL.
