Gender Match Mac OS
Our website provides a free download of Gender Bender DNA Twister Extreme 1.0 for Mac. Our antivirus scan shows that this Mac download is malware free. The software lies within Games, more precisely Adventure. The most popular version of the program is 1.0. This free software for Mac OS X was originally developed by Transcendent Games. I suppose Apple did an excellent job giving Siri humanity. A voice shouldn't decide gender, so my apologies for pigeonholing Siri into the female gender. However, I do think the intent is to call Siri by the 3rd person feminine singular in the US, and so for clarity with my fellow US citizens I refer to Siri as 'her'.

In UK English Siri is a 'he', or at least has a masculine voice. So I think you should leave 'it' intact for international relevance if nothing else.
Well, Siri in the UK uses a man's voice, so it would be a 'he'. 'It' is more universal.
French Siri has a male voice too.
Just wanted to point out that to say that Siri initiates a download is misleading. iOS 5 handles requests to play songs on iTunes Match that are not already on the device by streaming them (technically I'm sure it downloads the track, but it doesn't save that download to your local music library). A track is only downloaded to the device if the iCloud download icon is selected. Siri, then, is only persisting the default behavior of the Music app when a song not resident on the device is selected.
I'm not sure if I have a different preference set somewhere in settings, but after playing the song, it appears in my music library and can be 'deleted' reverting it to downloadable status. This leads me to believe that the music is 'downloaded' not 'streamed', but I may be wrong.
Put me down for 'she' (American). And if I get 3 votes wife and daughter both use she for Siri as well.
if you ask Siri, “Are you a male or female?”, Siri responds, “I was not assigned a gender'
Best answer yet. :)
Siri is an it (IMO) but I often think of it as her.
That written, the use of a feminine pronoun would have had no negative affect on the clarity of the post, so why change it? Are all posts are corrected for proper grammar?
My goal is to have the hints be readable, but there are, in fact, certain stylistic guidelines I also try to follow. Not always successfully, to be sure.
Don't anthropomorphize Siri.
She hates that.
;)
Madness takes its toll.
Please have exact change.

This thread is getting very Isaac Asimov :-)
Siri backwards is Iris! Come on folks. I'm up at 2:20AM and I just realized that! :)
SHE. Not even in Britain are men named Iris!
...and of course 'Iris' is the attempt by an Android team to copy Siri's capabilities.
perhaps a side thread, but i find it interesting that the apple socio-anthropology dept acknowledged that the US base is more comfortable with a female-voiced assistant while in the UK a male-voice would be more accepted.
I suspect it has more to do with the best voice they could create with the appropriate accent.
Regarding the downloading of the song this is a feature of iTunes Match and not Siri. If you check the documentation, the 'agent' will also remove songs that are not played very often(or not at all) from your phone to conserve space and then re-download them if do decide to play them.
Its a feature of Siri that it correctly initiates the 'agent's' actions, which is what the hint was about.
Funny you should mention this. I recently got the 4S (less than a fortnight ago) and my wife has made fun of me ever since because I keep referring to Siri as 'she.' She thinks I'm way too into my phone. In reality, it's just that I'm constantly reminded that the person's voice is a woman's voice every time she speaks. The other commenter makes a good point though. It would make sense to remember to say 'it' since the UK version is a male's voice.
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.
Mac Os Versions
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 10.9 (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
Gender Match Mac Os Download
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.
