There are many ways that you can create a bootable Mavericks USB Drive but this seems to me the far easiest way to do so. In this article I will assume that you already have a reasonable grasp of the OSX system and cut out the lengthy text:
Make Yosemite Bootable Usb
1. Download Yosemite from the Apple Store
Yosemite can be downloaded directly from Apple Store here. After download it will try and install automatically on your Mac. Just cancel out of this.
- Download OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 (4,1 GB)- Torrent. Download OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 (4,9 GB)- Torrent. Download OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 (5,3 GB)- Torrent. Step 2: Format and make USB bootable. Plug USB into Macbook and run Disk Utility Select the USB drive in the left side Click on Erase Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format Apply.
- 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.
Oct 18, 2014 I recommend making one for Yosemite, on an external hard drive or USB thumb drive, for many of the same reasons I recommend making a bootable Mavericks installer drive: If you want to install.
2. Verify the Installation Files are present
Head over to your Applications folder and check that there is a file which says Install Yosemite
2. Prepare a USB Flash Drive (Must be 8Gb or larger)
- Plug the USB Drive in to your Mac and open “Disk Utility” (found under applications / utilities in finder)
- Select the USB Drive
- Select the Erase tab
- Ensure that the format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
IMPORTANT – Leave the name as “Untitled”. If you change this the next step won’t work
