  • Apple no longer supply a bootable USB Flash Drive for their newest Mountain Lion operating system, as they did with Lion.
    Using this tutorial you will be able to create your own bootable USB Flash Drive using Apple's newest operating system, Mountain Lion!

    Thank you for the clear and neat walkthrough. Needed this for my old 2009 Macbook pro.

      For a moment I thought this comment was from 2012 and I was like, a 2009 MacBook Pro would not be old by that point, it would have been out for 4 years at most by then. Like a 2020 Mac would be in 2024. But then I saw that your comment was from a year-ish ago and it started to make sense to me. lol

    thanks this helped me a lot. These days making a bootable MacOS drive is much different. Thanks!

    You will not get the full 6Gb/s benefit of either in your system, but both are very good drives and very similar is speed etc. Personally I went for the Samsung due to the better reliability overall.

    I agree and that was what I did but their was just too many useless stuff and problems that came along with it. So now I am planning to do a clean install from the usb drive. Hopefully that will fix the SAFARI freeze issues.

    I had the original copy because It was from my mac, so in the app store my copy appeared as already purchased.
    So I just downloaded again and then follow the process.
    I did it from Mavericks and it works fine. and also I did it from Snow Leopard, I have 3 Macs so I wanted to clean them all.
    I hope my comment is Useful if you need any more help or you have questions let me know I will do my best to help.

    So this worked for you recently? Did you have to pay to get the download from Apple, and does it still work as it did a year ago when he uploaded this video?

    ONE THING TO MENTION IS RIGHT BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING YOU NEED TO DO IS MAKE SURE IT HAS 1 PARTITION AND GUID ENABLED.

    I have Mountain Lion installed on my macbook (factory set). I wanted to create a bootable usb drive in case of potential clean install needed in future. Q - how do I download OS X Mountain Lion? Although it's already on my mac, I cannot see it in the applications folder so unable to follow your process. Thanks in advance!

  • @iftibashir
    @iftibashir  11 лет назад

    No, I'm afraid its MAC only.

    This may not be the place to ask but I'm trying to downgrade from El Capitan back to Mountain Lion. I have a copy of Mountain lion and I follow these instructions up until the point where I have to choose the Source and Destination in the Disk Utility. El Capitan's disk utility doesn't look like the old one did. I'm pretty stuck. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I just bought a mac mini with mountain lion already on it, and the app store is charging me $19.99 for it if I want to download it again. ??? Any ideas as to why?

    • @iftibashir
      @iftibashir  10 лет назад

      Probably because its not associated with the iTunes account you have logged into the App Store with.
      The previous user has probably upgraded to Mountain Lion purchased via their own iTunes account.

    • @gdcat777
      @gdcat777 10 лет назад

      They are the same password and id.

    • @iftibashir
      @iftibashir  10 лет назад

      In which case you should contact Apple Support to rectify.
