My 93 year old Dad has an iMac with Snow Leopard loaded. He doesn't adapt well to changes in the appearance of his mac so I don't upgrade unless it look like it's really necessary. I looked at Yosemite a few months back and concluded that it is too different from SL, and until it has finished debugging I won't use it myself either.
Then recently I bought a new mini (the excellent 2012-14 model) with Mavericks loaded and as it look very similar to SL I decided to upgrade Dad's iMac too.
So I looked for Mav in the App store and it's no longer there, and I can't find it anywhere else. My mini did not come with an install disk - no surprise, as there's no cd/dvd drive in this model - and I don't seem to have a download option for Mav from the app store.
So my 2 questions are first, can I register my mini, or whatever, and get a download option from the App store?
Or, second, can I create a clean install disk or usb for Mavericks from my mini, and then install it onto my Dad's iMac?
Thanks
