Great job, well explained, clear process, easy, easy, easy ..... Only 3 minutes, what a difference compared to all those 15 minutes "tutorials" that do everything except show the right way to create a Bootable USB.
Spent hours going thru forums and 10 min long videos pulling my hair out 🤬 and when I was just about to give up hope your video was so simple and it massively helped and saved my iMac I cannot thank you enough 😊
Man you are a life saver!. I am an independent computer technician and I do not have the resources to buy a modern mac system, so I have to use virtual machines to prepare the usb drive. This was a great help!
Thanks, the last time I tried this it was text only and nerve-racking. I had no idea things could be dragged into terminal and that made it so much easier.
Thank you for a clear concise and visual explanation of a tricky task. I have not yet run the usb stick but it looks good, especially because i could not re download my osx HSierra from apple on my smaller mbpro!
Outstanding tutorial, I love the sequel way You did it. Some of the tutorial on yt are just ridiculously long and so much unneceseary jabber that all failed me. You did it awesome, thank You so much, from Canada!
Thank you so much. I spent all day trying to do this, if only I had seen your video before I wasted half my day trying to create a bootable drive. If only.......
I recommend to do exactly what hes telling you i wiped my 2010 imac ,I called apple lasted formone hour with them and they couldnt help me i follow this guy steps and now my imac is alive im gonna give it to my daughter thanks alot for this video
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! I've watch quite a few videos on this topic and It seems like the way you did it was different from the others and IT WORKED!!!!! Thank You again and again!!!!
Excellent video after, thanks a lot. After hours of watching videos and thousands of attempts, yours solved my problem. Very useful. As a note, you only can do this on a computer that´s compatible with the OSX that you´re working on.
Great video! Any idea what versions of OS X this will work with? I occasionally get older computers around this era to work on and would be great to be able to make a series of install USB drives for different versions of the OS. Thank you for this one, it's just what I needed to troubleshoot one of my older iMacs
Thank you for the video. I have a problem because my flash drive is locked > is it something I need to do to make a flash drive unlocked for other Mac book?
Where did you find. a high Sierra och Sierra file to make it go into applications ? I have a MacBook Pro 2018 and I won't get it in applications... any solution ?
Thank you this was a big help took a little bit of trial and error I kept getting the error that it could not wipe my flash drive solution was to reformat it on windows and then format it in disutility on Mac OS and then partition AFF Journal and then it worked perfectly
Worked perfect. Thank you so much. I was trying to reload Sierra and was unable because my Mac came with Snow Leopard, it wanted the boot disk and I did not have it. I actually just used this procedure and it worked to install High Sierra instead. Just a quick note to anyone doing this though, when you type the password you will not see anything happening but just know it is still registering. Also, after it formats the usb disk and starts to install to it there is no progress meter, just know it is working and eventually will say Done.
I get this following error: Arguments --volume, A path to a volume that can be unmounted and erased to create the install media. --applicationpath, A path to copy of the OS installer application to create the bootable media from. --nointeraction, Erase the disk pointed to by volume without prompting for confirmation. Example: createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled
Kallen, when I drag the High Sierra Icon into the terminal, terminal reads it's not valid. Ugh!? Followed every step so not sure what's wrong. FYI, I am on Sierra, and haven't upgraded to High Sierra yet. I'm on a Mid 2015 MB Pro and putting a new Samsung 960 Pro SSD. Thoughts?
And this is why I hate using Mac & Iphones these days. They make it so bloody hard to do something so simple as this video. Thanks. I was trying to create a usb bootable drive since many days ago and only found this after trying all manners of ways.
managed to do it all but after starting computer with option restart choosing the High Sierra drive and picking the wifi and entering the password, phew all I get is a no entry sign. I am running this on a brand new Imac 27" with Catalina installed does this make a difference and what do I do to make it work????
i have found and .iso file for the high sierra os but as the "Install macOS High Sierra" is in the iso contents and not in the application folder when i drag it from the iso file contents into terminal then hit enter/password/enter i get the terminal response telling me that the .iso does not appear to be a valid OS installer application :( if possible do you have a work around for this ? i have created a mohave installer but i also want the option for high sierra to install first , possibly even just sierra as im bringing an old macbook back to life that has a lot of old apps on it i would like to retain etc
instead of downloading from app store, can I download mac os high sierra from google ( iso or dmg file) to use it to create bootable usb flash drive or not? I really need this answer please.
Here in 2024 because I needed to create this bootable disk and thank you so much, this is the only tutorial that worked

Everything went well but when I booted my Imac mid 2010 with the drive, I got a flashing forder with question mark. Any ideas about that?
You are good..
Crossing my fingers this works!
