FIXES FOR COMMON ISSUES | DATE CHANGE GUIDE 2023 | HOW TO MAKE A BOOTABLE MAC OSX | (2/2)

- Here are a few fixes you can use to help you with the reinstall of MacOS.
Most common one of course is the application/installer damaged or corrupted.
REPORTED ERRORS:
Some people get no response when they press and hold the "OPTION" key, this could mean that the USB is not reading correctly by the mac. There are a few people who have said the install file says it is damaged, again it could be the USB drive. I had to try 2 different USB drives to get the mac working.
In the case that you get an error message THIS COPY OF THE MACOS HIGH SIERRA IS DAMAGED It means you are using an older MacBook (2011-12) or older. Which means when the MacBook tried to connect to Apple servers there is no active certificate or reads as expired. So in this case you have to turn off WIFI go into internet recovery and open terminal and set the date to:
1112131416
November 12, 13:14, 2016
MM/DD/HH/MM/YY
Check out our store for MacOS DMG files and much more!

This method has worked for me.
Setting the date back manually should work for most people. This forces the Apple servers to contact with the MacBook and restore.
Another fix is a physical HDD cable fix if your MacBook is NOT recognizing the HDD/SSD. This is mostly linked to the white folder with a question mark because Mac is UNABLE to find an OS installed.
Last fix is for the installer stuck on the progress bar.
1. Power on Mac and hold the CMD+R keys to boot into recovery mode.
2. Select the Utilities menu at the top of the screen and go to Terminal
3. Enter these two commands
cd /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/var/db/caches/opendirectory
mv ./mbr_cache ./mbr_cache-old
4. Exit and Restart

This video has been an absolute god send, i've looked at multiple guides, tried multiple methods and dmg files, thought i'd approached the situation from every angle but just couldn't get the installer to boot properly.
I took your advice and altered the date and it worked instantly.
Thank you so much for your help mate.
My English is so bad but… I literally spent hours downloading different MacOS High Sierra systems, passing that was the problem and just with this video, I fixed the problem in one fell swoop. Thank you very much brother, you deserve a lot of likes and subscribers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏼
You're a savior man, i spent alot of time trying to figure out this 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Dude, you're awesome. You just save my life.. haha.. After a week seeking on internet many tutorials and downloaded many OS versions you saved me sharing the DMG and after teaching me how to solve the problem of "corrupted file". Thank you so much!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This video (in combination with the other part 1 video) helped me to resolve my issue which i have been fighting with for an entire day. There are so many videos all repeating the same default stuff. None of that worked for me though. I used almost everything you suggested in your video(s). Have a great day, week, month, year, decade!
My god..have been trying for weeks. You are a Saviour my friend. God bless you. This time change hack was like Super awesome. Cheers dude. Keep up the good work. :)
I spent probably upwards of 24 straight hours trying to get this to work. Your tutorials helped me to not only install on a usb which nobody talks about, get through the damaged install error, and get into the OS. You are an absolute legend, I only wish I could give you multiple likes right now
Awesome! I’m glad to help
I'll second that. Absolute legend. Amen and Amen

I got the corrupted file message, did the date change, BOOM. High Sierra on my SSD w/ 16GB so yes, THANK YOU MY BROTHER!!!!! YOU SAVED ME! YOU ARE A TECH GOD!!! I can now go nuts with FS2020 and not have my peep bitch about Plex buffering! I'm happy to give u free access to my Plex as a THANK YOU!! Also to JusDom because well, he has a wicked cool avatar and he sounds just like me lol... Peace to all!!

Hey, wondering if you can help. Used the method, got the installer working, left it for a while and then it got to a point where it kept restarting over and over to the point where as soon as the Mac booted up it would immediately reboot so I had to unplug the hard drive and start again. Any idea what caused this and how to prevent it? Cheers.😊

Right now I’m facing the problem of a grey folder with ‘?’ too. And I didn’t backup data on my MacBook. So will there be any data loss after following this procedure?
This procedure will delete all existing data.

Hi, could you please help me this . After I log in my Mac book pro late 2011 and it just shut down when the bar under logo run almost full. So I ve tried to get re-install and changed date like you said in your video but it keeps saying "your Mac couldn't install on your computer". Is that hdd problem? But it's still showing my hard drive when I tried to install it? Thanks
What's the exact error message and are you able to boot into the bootable USB?
@@techcontrolofficial the error message " your Mac OS couldn't install on your computer
Bro, what is the link to download high sierra dmg file?
Hi, I've got another problem. I did everything that you said in 1/2 video. USB drive prepared, now I'm launching my iMac with Option key hold, but Mac doesn't see my USB drive. The only thing i see is "Recovery-10.10.5" with hard disk icon.
Same here. Maybe the usb is not compatible or your dmg is not bootable
can the date setting be done via terminal of the USB flash drive boot? i cant manage to acess builtin cmd+R, partition is gone
Try the following:
Hold down alt + command + R
Or
Turn off the Mac.
Press the on button - and keep it pressed.
When the Apple logo appears text will appear informing you that if you continue holding the power button you will be able to access startup options.
Eventually you will be able to select Options > Continue and this will open up Recovery.
Which model is your Macbook and did you attempt to wipe it and lost the MacOS partition?
@@techcontrolofficial its a pro 13' mid 2010, it just got corrupted and get stuck after login password is entered, a infinite white screen appears.

Friendd i have a problem, after i select the usb with high sierra installer as boot, the loading bar gets stuck right at the end, so i try to write the codes in the terminal like you say in this video but when i press Command + R my mac just stays on blue screen, what can I do? Thank you
Try to wipe the drive and then do the install. What year and model is your MacBook or iMac?
@@techcontrolofficial its a MacBook Pro 2011 model A1286
@@techcontrolofficial The problem is that I cannot access the menu to format the unit, I always get a blue screen
Could be a failing disk.
I did every step but the USB doesnt show up when I start the mac with Options pressed :( It does show in the drives list....

Hey thx so much for the video!
I have an iMac 2019 trying to upgrade to Monterey. I have a bootable HD but when I boot up it only gives me an option to install the is on the external HD not the internal. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Did you format both the Macintosh HD and the Macintosh Data? Wipe the drive and delete all the partitions then create a new APFS partition and try that.
Thx for the timely response.
I only wiped the external and made it bootable. Are you saying I need the wipe the internal HD too?
What MacOS are you currently running? To clarify the bootable does show up but the destination drive for Monterey, you only have the option for the external and not the internal?
Yes
That is correct. No internal HD option after using bootable.
Currently using Mojave… thoughts?
@@meishanguarri6274 Did you find a fix?
Plz make video how to solve acpi error method parse/execution failed
Can you send a screenshot and when does the error occur exactly?
i did all you're steps but when i start up my imac pressing alt the installer usb does not show up :( im using a late imac 2011 and i wiped the os thinking i can install high sierra trough apple it self but for some reason it cant connect to recovery server anymore and tried all the fixed for that aswell with no succes :( pff i dont know i just give up at this point
Send me an email with screenshots and let me know what macOS you previously had and what you are trying to upgrade to.
Hi, Thanks for the video and the file, but i mistakenly restored my ssd to base-system now it won't let me use the drive
Wipe it delete all partitions, then recreate a partition using MacOS journaled. Then try to install macOS.
Hey please help, when I power my 2010 macbook and press option key it only shows the choose network option and it doesn't show any other options like the bootable drive or the hard drive
For the 2010 you will have to make a bootable USB using an older MacOS which would be Snow Leopard. Send me an email and I'll send you a temp download link for it.
I am trying to install an IOS on a A1200. It will not allow me to use the CMD + R feature to access the recovery mode. What else can I try? I can't access my USB because it only shows the HDD and then if you select it, it freezes on the APPLE logo...
Hey, let me look into this.
After creating the bootable USB according to Part 1, that USB drive is not recognized as a bootable entity upon pressing Option at startup. Allowing the system to fully load, the inserted USB is shown on desktop as "Install masOS". Opening "Install macOS" shows a InstallOS.pkg file, and double clicking on InstallOS.pkg leads to the message "This package contains a program that determines if this software can be installed. Are you sure you want to continue?" Pressing Continue causes the message Aert This version of Mac OS cannot be installed on this computer. Any work arounds?
If you are able to load into the desktop then you can use the recovery option to wipe and restore the MacOS to factory settings. What MacOS are you currently running and which DMG file did you download?
Need a bit of help as my iMac does not pick up the USB bootable drive.
Not sure if I must create a new Disc Image on the Hard Drive?
When input the code in terminal, I am getting an error that there is no such file directory
Have been struggling for a month to install MacOS on my old Mac, really don't know what to do anymore.

Same

Download WinRAR then unzip (extract) the file and you will see the DMG file. Use that to make the bootable usb for the Macbook.
Pls help
Bootable usb not showing after pressing option key
Only macintosh hd is present
Im using macbook pro 2011
i turned off the wifi but i keep getting a message saying i cant install OS X because im not connected to the wi fi . I didnt think i had to be since im doing it from a drive
So only disconnect the WiFi for the manual date change once he installer loads then turn WIFI on (if prompted) and let me know how that goes
Do i need to connect my mac to the internet after i click on the install button? It’s asking me to connect to wifi
Yes, internet will be required to compete the process.
the date is correct and i downloaded the dmg correctly but it keeps saying that the copy is damaged. I have a A1278 which should be able to take high Sierra. What is the issue?
When you say the date is correct do you mean it's the current date or the manually adjusted date?
@@techcontrolofficial Hi Lifesaver i have a same Problem D&N BOYS and I did it the manually adjusted date ... My Macbook air is 2017 what would i do which sierra should i download
Try high Sierra, if you need any newer version shoot me an email
HELP? I have a macbook pro running with WINDOWS 10. I've flashed the USB with El Capitan OS but in the boot menu USB is not showin up?
Use something to wipe the hard disk. Then go about the install.
Hi, I followed your guide point by point, only it always gives me the error ''Unable to verify this installed application copy of OS X yosemite. The copy may have been corrupted during download''.
I am not sure what model it is, but it is definitely a macbook around 2010.
I need to install the OS because the disk was initialized so it is unusable.. can you please help me?
Did you try the date change method? I have a video which I go through it step-by-step.
@@techcontrolofficial yeah I have tried the data change method, even more than one date
Try a different MacOS version, such as El Captaon and see if you have any luck.
Okay, I no longer get the “damaged installer” error after date change, but it hangs at the apple logo, even after inputting the Terminal code.
It simply returns to macOS Utilities menu (Recovery) with no message given.
2016 MacBook Pro using usb 3 High Sierra installer you provided. TransMac prepared installer fine.
Thoughts?
Terminal replies “No such file or directory”. My SSD is named Macintosh HD, so this is weird.
Try to erase the SSD and delete the partition. Then add a partition volume and rename it. Lastly, try to run the bootable DMG again.
Your backdating method worked! I was using a date before my MacBook was built! 👀 Thanks!!😅👍🏽
Ok great!
does it matter if your google drive links download as .rar and not dmg?
Doest matter at all. In fact it's zipped with rar so the only option is to download it as an "rar" file. Once downloaded you can unzip/extract using winrar and you will see the dmg file.
Hey man thanks for the videos. Everything’s been going well till I tried to install the OS. When I click on “Install HighSierra” it takes me to the connect to WiFi place like it’s tryna do an online recovery. I’m frustrated
Yes it has to connect to wifi so it can authenticate the certificate via the Apple servers. Once it xomnects to wifi then it should install the OS as normal.
@@techcontrolofficial ok I’ll try that. I’d really appreciate if I could get a contact detail (email, number or anything) so I can keep you updated with videos and all. Thanks alot, just subscribed
