DiskImages

In the DiskImages preferences pane you can manage all downloaded DeveloperDiskImage files. You can enable a custom support directory to change the folder the DeveloperDiskImage files are saved to. The window contains a tab for each supported platform. Selecting a platform will update the list below it with all version numbers for which the DeveloperDiskImage files exist.

Add DeveloperDiskImage files

To add DeveloperDiskImage files for a specific platform, select it and click on the + button. A dialog will appear, which allows you to specify the version number for which you want to add the files. The version number should always have the format major.minor. No revision number should be included. That means for example: 15.1 is valid, while 15.1.2 is invalid. Use the Image button to select a DeveloperDiskImage.dmg and the Signature button to select a DeveloperDiskImage.dmg.signature file from your mac. You can also drag and drop the files to the boxes on the right side. Confirm your action by clicking the Add button. A new entry in the list with the specified version number should appear. A matching device will automatically upload the files the next time it is selected in the sidebar.

Remove DeveloperDiskImage files

To remove the DeveloperDiskImage files for a specific version and platform, select an entry in the list and click on the - button. The entry will disappear. The files will be redownloaded if required and necessary.


Refresh DeveloperDiskImage files

To refresh existing DeveloperDiskImage files, select an entry in the list and click the button. The files will be redownloaded if possible. This is useful if you downloaded or added files for a beta version, since it might need an update if the final version or a newer beta version is released. This might also be necessary if the DeveloperDiskImage files somehow got corrupted.
