The service that revolutionized the music listening industry

Pandora's Box is a minimalist yet very powerful OS X utility that can help you make your own OS X bootable DVDs and USBs, in order to update your Hackintosh to the latest OS X version, or to simply customize the installation. Noteworthy is that, even though you can create bootable images for various. AnyToISO 3.9.5 Crack for Mac with Serial Key Free Download. AnyToISO for Mac is the best ISO creator for macOS.

Pandora is a free streaming music app. The Music Genome project gives Pandora an edge. Its detailed song analysis comprises almost 450 different categories.

When you listen to Pandora music, those algorithms combine to form the core of Pandora’s listening experience -- and a better guarantee you’ll actually enjoy what you hear. But does it deliver?

Pandora For Mac free download - Technitium MAC Address Changer, Mac Video Downloader, Paragon NTFS for Mac, and many more programs. OS X Mavericks is the latest release of the world's most.

When you use the Pandora app for the first time, you’ll have to turn over personal info like your zip code, the year of your birth, and if you are male or female -- there are no other options here. You can’t create an account without this step.

Pandora states this information sharing is to “personalize your experience” which likely translates to “here are ads that match your demographic.” It’s an annoying intro.

Make your own media library

The frustrations with Pandora only grow as you break into the app. The interface lacks the sleekness of competitors like Apple Music and Spotify. While Pandora’s layout is clean and bright, it feels dated and cumbersome.

To get to the music, you can go “old school” and browse but at least Pandora integrates voice commands. Request the top hits, songs to workout to, or “something awesome” with a tap on the microphone icon and a “Hey, Pandora.”

As you use Pandora, the app will figure out the kind of music you prefer and generate your own Thumbprint radio. For free users, the app will use songs you've thumbed up and add in other songs from artists the app believes will fit your tastes.

When a song isn’t a match, you aren’t stuck listening to it forever. Like the rest of the music-streaming services, you can thumbs down any track you don’t want to hear.

If you want to listen to a specific song on mobile, you have to either spring for Pandora Premium or watch a short ad. After viewing the ad, you can hear your tune using Pandora Premium. When the song is over, you’ll revert back to the basic listening experience which always includes ads.

For the best results, you need to create playlists and add artists or bands to your playlist. Search for what you want or browse through Pandora’s selection. You’ll tap “+” to add anything you want to your list.

Find your favorite bands and more

Click on your favorite band and you’ll see the number of active listeners and a brief blurb. Tap on the summary to learn more or continue scrolling for more music.

Unlike other services (like Spotify), Pandora doesn’t display all the band’s albums on one convenient screen. You have to click again to view the rest of the albums.

If you want to view similar bands, you will be shown three related groups, and will tap again to see other artists. Pandora offers a limited number of related bands so it is harder to find new bands to you or a way to fast revisit a past favorite.

But, with Pandora’s Music Genome project, it is fun to see what bands the service feels are similar -- and why. If you looked at Breaking Benjamin and “The Diary of Jane,” you can view how Pandora analyses the song.

Pandora describes the features of this song as “Hard rock roots,” “a subtle use of vocal harmony,” “mild rhythmic syncopation,” and “repetitive melodic phrasing.”

It’s an interesting look at why Pandora believes you’ll like the songs they choose and how they overlap. It’s also pretty good at figuring out what you’d like but, of course, it’s not 100% accurate. But, it sure feels pretty close.

Pandora radio and the method behind it seems more right than wrong based on the way they categorize the music you love.

Where can you run this program?

You can install the Pandora app on your Android or Apple device, listen through any browser, or via the downloadable desktop program (but only for premium members).

Is there a better alternative?

Spotify boasts a grand collection -- more than 50 million songs, 450,000 podcasts and 3 billion playlists. That service dwarfs Pandora’s few million tracks and 1400 podcasts. It also can’t keep up with Apple Music’s 45 million songs.

Pandora’s twenty exclusive SiriusXM shows only available through Pandora don’t make up for the big difference in musical options.

The app does have a social option missing in other services. You can access your favorite band’s Twitter account. Scroll to the bottom of the band’s page on Pandora, then click the “follow on Twitter” button.

It’s an easy way to keep up with your faves though Spotify and Apple Music win on the “sharing” front with their Facebook connection option for simple playlist shares.

Pandora and Spotify pull ahead for anyone not wanting to have to pay for music. Those services offer a free version Apple Music lacks.

But, the free radio and detailed categorization aren’t enough to help Pandora keep up with the two big dogs of music.

Our take

Pandora is a decent option for anyone who wants fast access to music without a lot of extras. Voice features, excellent radio capabilities, and an emphasis on podcasts help keep Pandora in the game.

Should you download it?

No. Pandora may have a handful of exclusive podcasts but the service doesn’t look as good or offer a significant musical library to make it worth the old-fashioned, clunky overall experience.

Pandorafor Mac

1.3.2

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 10.0Puma 10.1Jaguar 10.2
Panther 10.3Tiger 10.4Leopard 10.5
Snow Leopard 10.6Lion 10.7Mountain Lion 10.8
Mavericks 10.9Yosemite 10.10El Capitan 10.11
Sierra 10.12High Sierra 10.13Mojave 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:

Download
  • 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 10.9 (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:

  1. Click the App Store icon.
  2. Click Purchases in the top menu.
  3. Scroll down to find the preferred OS X version.
  4. 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.

  1. Start your Mac holding down Command + R.
  2. Prepare a clean external drive (at least 10 GB of storage).
  3. Within OS X Utilities, choose Reinstall OS X.
  4. Select external drive as a source.
  5. 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.

  1. Boot your Mac from your standard drive.
  2. Connect the external drive.
  3. 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).
