Create a Bootable USB High Sierra Installer in Mac OS X 10.13

- *** High Sierra is now hidden on the Mac App Store. It is still available, but it's hard to find. To find it, check out this video:
Find High Sierra on App Store
This video shows you how to create a bootable USB Flash Drive Mac OS X Installer. You will be able to boot most Macs from it and then install Mac OS X 10.13 High Sierra without needing to re-download the installer for each Mac. You can also use it to format the internal drive of a Mac using the built in Disk Utility, this is also covered in the video.
You will need a 16GB or larger USB Flash Drive (aka USB key). Make sure it's empty, because you'll be deleting everything on it during the process of making the installer.
If you have a problem downloading the full installer and you only get a 19MB file instead of the full 5GB installer, check out this article to show you how to work around that problem:
osxdaily.com/2017/09/27/downlo...
You will use a command in the Terminal. It is best to copy and paste it from here, just make sure you name your USB Flash Drive “MacInstall” (without the quotes). If you type it, make sure you type it correctly, or you will get an "unknown command" error. Here is the command for your reference:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MacInstaller --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app --nointeraction &&say Done

Thank you for outlining this very clearly and comprehensively. Was able to make the USB Bootable drive within 20 minutes by following the step-by-step instructions. I highly recommend trying if you're having trouble. Thanks again!
the command isn't working for me
Been trying to upgrade from 10.7.5 to HighSierra for ages without much luck, came across your video, had a couple of hiccups, but now all is well and install is working fine. Many many many thanks..................respect!!!
This is the easiest way to make a bootable drive that I can find, no dragging files around! Thanks so much!!!
Wow never thought I would ever be able to do this. Worked perfectly. I completely messed my Mac book up wouldn't boot came across your video and followed it. Brilliant. Thank you very much
Thank you for making these videos. I watched your video on downloading High Sierra, then watched the video on making a bootable USB drive. Everything worked perfectly!
Thank you so much! You have no idea how great you made my day! Last night I almost lost hope until I ran into your video!
Great tutorial. Clear and on point. Awesome! I’m posting before I’m finished this job switching the original hard drive out to an ssd to speed this thing up.
bru in what moment on the video should i replace my hd for the ssd help PLS
You don’t have an idea of how helpful you have been. Subscribed and liked
Thanks you for posting this information. It was helping for me to recover a failed upgrade of a Macbook Pro to Monterey OS! The posting the Terminal command was a life saver too.
Best video. I got errors in terminal command from all other videos.
You also show how to downgrade from a higher version like Mojave in the same video, a real lifesaver.
Thanks a lot!
Your directions worked perfectly! Thank you!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! Finally someone with simple, easy to understand instructions! Much Appreciated!
It worked! This completely saved my 2011 MacBook Pro.
I tried Command + R to reinstall the latest OS. It did not work, the OS was no complete package.
I tried Shift - Option - Command - R to reinstall MacOS Lion, did not work. (at least 40 times.)
I tried Command - R to Internet recovery, was never able to complete the download. (at least 20 times. )
I called Apple helpline, they broke my hard drive. After their "fixing", my computer was flashing an icon that indicates hard drive error.
I followed this, and it worked! I am so thankful! Thank you.
Zoei Key Did you get it to boot fully from a USB? My High Sierra install starts then show a STOP/NO symbol halfway through the install. What do I do from here?
Thanks! Was just finally able to bring a busted up 2010 Macbook back to life.
this is the best. upgrading my mac to Sdd, 8g ram and new battery in 2020. this is so helpful.
This guy is a legend! I've learned a lot from your awesome tutorials! God bless you always!
we worship the devil. didnt you know?
Still works in 2022! Thank you!
I was having problems with my mid 2011 Macmini and this fixed it. Thanks
Update, I couldn’t get the correct OS safely, so I used El Capitan, but IT WORKED!!! *patrick’s voice* I LOVE YOU! I finally have my MacBook back after a year of trying to figure it out. Thank you!!
I’m very thankful, your video is very easy to follow, I don’t know nothing about computer but I follow all your instructions and save me money and time, thank very much, and God bless you.
I never comment videos but this was super super helpful man. Thank you so much.

Great instructions, works for me just fine. Many thanks
This is a lifesaver video 🙏🏼 after 3 days of trying to restart my MacBook and reinstall MacOS, I’m finally making progress. Thank you so much!!!
The best of the best, I had to rename MacInstaller to MacInstall, other than that was perfect, than you so much.
Thank You! Excellent! Worked perfectly and without a hiccup. Too bad there is only 1 thumbs up. You have a new subscriber.

Hi , thanks for video , but when i search "high sierra" or macos high sierra , it does not appear on my app store . what should i do ?
Thank yoooooouuu!!!!!!!!!
Great video. When I downloaded HS from app store it only came up to 4.74GB. Will it still work or am I missing something?
really thanks
I love the video
I'm glad you like it!
Thx it worked, but did you realy needed to stretch this video to 10 minutes for a 4 minuted tutorial?
Thank you!!!

Great Vid. I created my boot drive , I am doing this because I have the flashing question mark , can't find operating system , everything went fine until I went to boot from drive , when I move mouse over the drive icon I want to choose ,it says thumb drive is looked , any ideas ? do I need to unlock and how ? thx
Thank you much you are a lifesaver! 😂
Great video, I've a question I need to swap the ssd should i do the swapping jsut before restarting hte lapto in 11:11
All seemed great but: first the OSx install app only downloaded a file of about 22 mb in size and I was unable to use the OSx High Sierra Patcher app to get a full download, and then my computer crashed and I had to run a recovery online to get back to where I am now. Luckily I had that option on a backup hard drive because I've had issues doing it directly from my internal drive etc. Bizarre to say the least because all hardware tests are fine. Now I'm in limbo with a formatted 32 GB flash drive ready to go but no way to get it done.
Will this work for windows with making a hackintosh
Thanks a lot ~
When I use the patcher in the article you linked it doesn’t work. I go to tools to download and it gets to around 500 then tells me to check my internet connection. This has now happen over 10 times. Every time it stops around the same spot. My internet is working fine as I’m running other apps running the internet with no problems or interruptions.
let me reformulate my query, in what moment should i replace the hd to the ssd
thanks you
can you upload somewhere the high sierra version ? I just went to the app store and is not there anymore.
Thanks
Search through Google bc the App Store only shows the most recent OS
I have Mojave OS, when I download High Sierra it does it through Sistem Update; however, it is downloaded Catalina instead in the Apps folder.. any idea ?
Works fine 👍🏻
I'd love to get a fresh copy of High Sierra for my 2011 iMac but it is now not available from the App Store. Please, have you any ideas where I could get one?
It wouldn't work until I left out the last \ in the command. Then it worked fine. Thanks.
Thanks for letting me know! It worked for me either way, but I'll update the command in the video description. I appreciate it!
@@GemsbokAppleTipsandTricks im getting command not found ?
A helpful future video would be to distinguish between external drive boot to create a segregated environment (eg., for children, business, spouse, etc.) and an external drive to install a fresh copy of macOS like what you did. Not sure if I'm mixing these two up. I believe you were doing the latter. I'm also interested in knowing if this fresh install will preserve data already on the computers hard drive?? Thanks for all the help so far!
hello friend my mac only got older until masOs high sierra if more updates came out I couldn't update it anymore but watching a video on you tube I, am used a bootable usb and install masOs catalina but I don't like why? I cannot use many applications that I used in high Sierra masos for example imovie camtasia cut final pro and many other programs so unfortunately I no longer have Macos High Sierra on the hard drive I would have to do it from a USB my question is can you reinstall a previous operating system that I have? and will the applications work well? please help me with my question thank you very much friend
i get the text: "/Application/Install macOS High Sierra.app does not appear to be a valid OS installer application." please advise.
Do I need internet access while creating the bootable drive?
will this usb only work for the the same Mac, I'm want to make a bootable usb on my working iMac for my not working Mac mini
In my case I dont see the High Sierra upgrade/install option. It still refers back to OS El Capitan
What is the reason for this error message "sudo: /Applications/InstallmacOSHighSierra.app/Contents/Resources/Createinstallmedia: command not found"
or I can also download the installer in macos high sierra downloads and install it help me please

Thank you dear jus i want help from you i forgot my MacBook air password 2014 model and now its locked totally apple store denied my request bcos i bought it from someone as used laptop
how i can bring this kingston on display plz
So this worked like a charm to make a bootable disk on a usb. It booted up and worked on my working computer. I want to load it onto another computer that will not boot up. Previously it was and may still be in a booting loop. I can press Option and select the bootable disk but once it loads it loads to either a blank white screen (If I used the right Option key) or a darker screen with horizontal lines when I boot it using the left OPTION key. I get the same kind of nothing screen screen when I try internet recovery.... ANY magic tips? Thanks much in advance!!!
hey your great Man
