Where to get a MacOS image for VirtualBox

Post by jpringle1 »

This is not a problem i expected to run into when setting up a mac VM, but every download link or guide google shows me when i search for download links only gives me corrupted files, password-locked zip files or guides which require me to already have access to a Mac.

Is there any reliable way to get my hands on a working ISO/DMG without having to personally extract it from a mac?

You don't really expect an answer now, do you?

Your Apple account should enable you to get a Mac install file.

Note that a Mac guest is only allowed if the physical computer is real Mac hardware.

If you really do have a Mac computer, please use your Apple account to get a Mac installer, web-search how to do this. If you continue to have trouble, please start a new topic in the Mac Guests subform, with a zipped guest vbox.log, posted like you did the screenshot, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
