Apple released the new Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite in the Mac App Store for everyone to download and install for free on October 16th, 2014, but downloading a 5+ GB file for each of your computers will take some serious time. The best thing to do is download it once and create a bootable install USB drive from the file for all of your Macs.

Once you install Yosemite, the file will automatically erase itself, so it's important to make a bootable drive first. If you want to install first and then make a bootable drive, make a copy of the installer app in another location so you can access it later. Worst case scenario is downloading the large file again from the Mac App Store, but then why make a bootable drive?
By far the easiest way to create a bootable drive is to use the DiskMaker X application, which automates the entire process in the next method. To start out, download the newest version of DiskMaker X from its website. Currently, that's the Yosemite Beta version. (Update: the public Yosemite version is out now, and you can download it from here, here, or here.)
Hello!!! I NEED HELP!! I know I'm a few years late but I JUST came into possession of a 2007 macbook (A1181) and I'm upgrading the RAM (to 4GB) and hard drive (to 500 GB). I was hoping to make myself a bootable installer of Yosemite but I cannot manage to find anywhere to download it. That is the only thing hanging up my adventure. I'd be open to any other macOS as long as it can run the newest iTunes. I'm wary of going too high since this laptop is so old and I'm pretty new to doing my own upgrades. THANKS!! :)
In Nersih Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 Mac and iOS have been connected like never before.

You may also like to download Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
Now that OS X Yosemite is available, many users may wish to create a bootable installer drive from something like a USB flash thumb drive or another disk. This allows for several things, the ability to upgrade multiple Macs without having to re-download the installer, the ability to perform a clean install, and also the convenience of having a separate bootable reinstallation drive in the event you need it for serving a Mac.
This allows you to update any version of OS X from Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks, directly to OS X Yosemite, with the installer that was just made. You can also perform a clean install (which we separately address in a thorough walkthrough here), or update multiple Macs without having to download it from the App Store again. Be sure to always back up the target Mac before updating OS X, whether to OS X 10.10 or any other version, you can follow detailed instructions on how to prepare a Mac for OS X Yosemite here. Enjoy OS X Yosemite!
I am in mid way redownload OS X after erasing the HD. Now my friend told me to skip that and create bootable USB. Can I boot up my macbook air and create bootable USB then redownload OSX?Instead of redownload OSX and create bootable disk?

If none of the options to get older OS X worked, pay a visit to the nearest local Apple Store. They should have image installations going back to OS Leopard and earlier. You can also ask for their assistance in creating 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. Below are a few more links you may find interesting.
Once you've done with Disk Utility, try reinstalling the operating system in Internet Recovery again. If, for example, when reinstalling OS X Yosemite 10.10, "A required download is missing." recurs, move on to the next step.
To start we'll want to grab ourselves a copy of macOS. You can skip this and head to formatting the USB if you're just making a bootable OpenCore stick and not an installer. For everyone else, you can either download macOS from the App Store or with Munki's script. 2ff7e9595c
